Hi @Mohamed.Ouda. For any configuration change, we require a local consensus. Could you discuss the matter on your wiki to confirm that this change is wanted by the community, and paste the link to the discussion here?

For more information about how to request these kinds of changes, please see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes and feel free to forward that link to others who may want similar changes made in the future. Thanks!

@Mohamed.Ouda you will need to get consensus at each wiki individually. As part of your discussion, you will need to address *who* can allocate autopatroller, and who can remove it. At English Wikisource any admin can do autopatroller based on local rules. There we haven't bothered about rollbacker privileges as we found it preferable to look to more freely allocate admin tools.

If you are facing vandalism problems then you may wish to get spam filters in place. We have numbers that may be useful for you at English Wikisource, and if you contact me directly I can assist [[s:en:User talk:Billinghurst]]

I have commented on both of the local wikis that the proposal is still short on technical detail. Google translate doesn't translate rollbacker or autopatrolled, so we will need the confirmation that the discussion is about both of these. Further, the discussion does not address the technical aspects of appointment and removal by whom. I have asked these questions on both wikis and they need to be addressed.

Hi Billinghurst

I added the answers on the local wikis .

Hi Billinghurst

any updates please

at whomever is doing the rights additions for

arWikt — Administrators who will can assign and remove the rights rollback and autopatroller rights as per the local policy

arWS — The Administrators who will assign and remove the rollback and autopatroller rights as per the local policy

Should be right to be implemented @Krenair @Glaisher or whomever wants to make the edits

Since I'm not available during SWAT these days, I won't be able to get config patches deployed in a timely fashion. @Dereckson might be able to help.
