Description

Hello,
We need to make some changes about the user rights on frwikinews.

This was proposed on https://fr.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Prise_de_d%C3%A9cision/Statut_des_utilisateurs and almost unanimously approved.

Utilisateurs de confiance = autoreview + unreviewedpages -- and if possible create and add a new right "review the editions on articles that the user created"

Relecteurs = autoreview + review + validate + unreviewedpages + import

Contributeurs merge with Relecteurs

Both can be grant by a sysop.

Thanks

Aklapper renamed this task from User rights on frwikinews. to Change User rights on frwikinews.Feb 27 2015, 10:31 AM

Aklapper triaged this task as Medium priority.

Aklapper set Security to None.

There are three issues related to this:

English translations of the new user group names would be helpful :-)
The aforementioned new user right does not exist and would require a change in MediaWiki core, which will significantly delay this request -- so you need to let us know if we can proceed without it;
You have not specified who should be able to remove users from the two new user groups; should we take it that the removal ought to be performed by sysops as well?

Thanks :-)

Hi,

I think we can translate the news groups like that Utilisateurs de confiance = Trusted users and Relecteurs = reviewers.
In a first step, the changes can be proceeded without the new right.
Sysops should be able to remove the two new users groups.

Regards ;-)

tomasz claimed this task.Feb 27 2015, 3:24 PM

The proposed "review the editions on articles that the user created" right sounds like autoreview to me...

Not exactly ;-) autoreview is only for contributions made by the user but not by other users on the pages he created.

For example, if I have the autoreview right and if I create a page I can review my contributions but not contributions made by other contributors on the page that I created.

So the new right should be "I can review my contributions everywhere and review contributions from other users but only on pages that I created"

Is that clearer?

:-)

You could make a new MediaWiki-extensions-FlaggedRevs task for it. I doubt it'd be accepted though.

Ok I will create a new task for that when the new statuts will be set up.

@SleaY, @Mattho69: Okay, so I've almost got the patch ready, but I am a bit flabbergasted by the last part of your original comment:

In T90979, @SleaY wrote:

Contributeurs merge with Relecteurs

Do I understand correctly that you want to remove the editor ('contributeurs') user group and only keep the reviewer ('relecteurs') user group (or the other way around)?

I'm asking this because, although likely technically possible, the removal of user groups added by default through extensions or MediaWiki core—such as the 'editor' user group, which is added by the FlaggedRevisions extension— has never been done on any Wikimedia wiki to date, as far as I remember and can see in the configuration files.

Thanks!

Hi,

Maybe it was not clear enough, so I will try to sum up the request:

Delete the user groups from FlaggedRevisions extension (editor, reviewer, autoreview)
Replace these user groups by Trusted user and Reviewer (or another name to differentiate it from the old reviewer)
- Trusted user = autoreview + unreviewedpages (+ the new right which will be asked in another task)
- Reviewer = autoreview + review + validate + unreviewedpages + import
Sysops should be able to add and remove the two new users groups.

I hope everything is clear now and sorry for the misunderstanding if it is the case.

Best ;-)

I've got no idea how to fulfill this request.

Taking task, as I can work in French with them if there are difficulties.

The order suggested would require to remove everyone from the groups. This isn't really a good idea, as it would break the review workflow pending the deployment.

So in a first time, we're going to deploy a first change to create the new groups. After this first change is deployed, you can then empty the legacy groups locally. And then, we'll delete through a new change the former groups.

That means (2), (3), (1).

Deployed 2015-04-20.

I'm currently working with @SleaY to implement the local part (2), and see how to offer a as smooth as possible transition for the Wikinews contributors.

Then the change for the step (3) will be submitted.

I've checked on wiki the situation, and discussed the matter with @JackPotte; the legacy groups have now been fully emptied on the local project.

We can so proceed to the step 3 and remove the specific rights added to the following groups:

confirmed
reviewer
editor

Change deployed.

The legacy groups editor and reviewer has well been removed.

The final step, to perform on the wiki, is to recycle the restore the confirmed user group as a regular confirmed user Wikimedia group. This group could be used to give autoconfirmed rights to someone not yet autoconfirmed.

Still a group to disable: autoreview, which matches Relecteurs automatiques.
