Remove old user groups on Indonesian Wikipedia
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Two user groups, editor and interface-editor ("Penyunting" and "Penyunting antarmuka" accordingly) are no longer in use. No users are holding these rights, and they aren't assigned to other users any longer. Please change the configuration to remove them.

Setting project to Wikimedia-Site-requests, as this request is about settings / configuration of a Wikimedia website, and is unrelated to the MediaWiki codebase about configuration stuff.

In the future, please always follow https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes when requesting such site configuration changes. Thanks.

I think the interface editor group is part of the global standard set and unlikely to be removed.

codenamenoreste moved this task from Unsorted to Single wikis on the Community-consensus-needed board.

@Unite_together Is there a community discussion about the removal of these user groups?

No existing discussions now. Asked @Bennylin about this, replied, "artefact from the past. no longer used."

I'll start with the task when Bennylin confirms this here, unless anyone objects or says that a community discussion is required.

I decided to leave a message on Bennylin's talk page on idwiki regarding this task; once he responds to me, I'll get to work on this task.

All done. editor has now been removed, and the same happened for interface-editor (since the latter was probably added by mistake).
