Patch-For-Review

Initial copy for text to be posted to WP:VPT. We should also link the WP:VPT section from the BAG talk page: P130

@Anomie @Legoktm Could you look over P130, just curious if there are other details we should be including up-front.

@EBernhardson, I made minor edits, which turned into P135 (phorking?).

Change 178388 abandoned by EBernhardson:
Allow enwiki bots to create flow boards

Reason:
taking a different approach, will define user group in Flow for this and request adding that group to HostBot through the BAG.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/178388

At the suggestion of anomie and others we have decided to forgo adding the rights to the bot group, and instead created a new group in Flow called flow-bot. HostBot will need to go through the standard BAG approvals process on enwiki to have the flow-bot usergroup assigned to it.

I re-assigned this to myself, since I'm the bot owner. If I understand things correctly, this is a non-technical task: we're just covering the bot approval here, NOT the creation of the flow-bot user group. Is that correct?

Yes.

The group already exists on MediaWiki.org and the test wikis (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights), and will soon exist on the remainder of the wikis (Wednesday, if things go per schedule). The remainder is just the standard BAG approval process.

Will the Bot Approval Group actually grant the flow-bot right to HostBot,or does the cabal ask an enwiki bureaucrat or sysadmin to do it? I made T86403: Configure WMF groups so the enwiki Bot Approval Group can grant flow-bot right to Co-op bot.

ErikB mentioned this in his e-mail to wikitech-l "Changing contentmodel of pages".

I believe members of the BAG are all members of the 'botadmin' group. We need to adjust the prod config so that botadmin can grant and remove the flow-bot group from people.

I don't see any botadmin group at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights (check View-Source, since the technical group name only appears in the "list of members" link).

Maybe the actual promotion (if BAG approves) is done by the bureaucrat group?

Indeed after checking the enwiki database, the only shared role between the members is 'sysop' which is likely only tangentially related. I suppose they must have a bureaucrat do it for them.

Actually one of the members of the bag is a bureaucrat, so that user probably does it when available.

Note: waiting for the rest of the Co-op to be completed before I run with this. - J

@Capt_Swing As an update, we've completed final template work needed for the front page (see here). The profiles there are filler and we are just waiting on the profile modules (T90366) and the enabling of FormWizard on en.wiki (T89322) to allow mentors to begin to make actual profiles. You've said that the moving of module pages will not take so long, but I am wondering more about FormWizard and when you expect it will be enabled on en.wiki?
