Re-enable filemover and rollbacker user-rights on hiwiki
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description:
Many user-rights were either changed or removed from Hindi Wikipedia after an RfC. But no discussion was ever made to remove filemover and rollbacker user-rights. I don't know the exact reason behind this unexpected action but, I guess, no one cared to inform us (the hiwiki community). So I request to re-enable these two user-rights. Thanks and regards.

OK. Given the consensus for this change, I will create a patch for these rights.

Having said that, I tend to agree with अनुनाद सिंह that, given the history of abuse of user rights on hiwiki, a firm, detailed and clear policy relating to the granting, use, and revocation of these user rights should be established.
