I think, apart from the the idea of "trusted users", the other parts of this thing is not controversal at all, as this is mostly a software limit.

I think that there is no apparent opposition from any side (nor much concern), and I don't know whether @jimmyxu and @Wong128hk can scrutinize the outcome without extra help as it is the first time such things are run. So I bet there will mean extra assistance from WMF side for this whole thing.

Encrypt or not is the same, at least, for the Chinese Wikipedia Community - we just need to know who voted during the election (not how they vote), and possibly a matrix of people voting what after the election. For the sake of safety, the second part can also be mixed where the vote tallies are shown but each vote does not pertain to one person.

@jrbs
Due to local settings, it seems that admins are excluded in the group extendconfirmed, so I think we also need to add administrators into the eligible list of voters, or else they will be left out.

The best way to mitigate these security issue related to css and js would actually be adding a deployment (and/or review) period for these two things : Any changes in between two deployment periods (currently used to deploy newer versions of MediaWiki to different WMF-owned wikis) would be marked as a specific issue.

This is in the description at T71445: Implement a proper code-review process for MediaWiki JS/CSS pages on Wikimedia sites.

If this is the case, then there wouldn't be interface editors at some wikis.

The idea of an interface editor or engineer group that is meant to be more accessible than sysop is indeed backwards with regard to security.

I really would hope that the new group would be granted globally rather than locally though.

There is already global-interface-editor, but understandably, that right is very hard to get because of the potential damage someone could cause. With that said, though, I don't fully understand what you're trying to say. This task is about removing the right from people who don't use it anyway. If the individual communities remove it from people who don't use it, and let people who use it retain the rights, no one should notice any difference, while the security situation is much better. What you're saying seems to be that every new techadmin should instead be a global interface editor, but that would make the situation much worse with regard to security. It also would simply not work policy-wise. Only a small percentage of all techadmins across all WMF wikis would ever be trusted with global-interface-editor. You can view the complete list of members to get an idea of how restricted that is.

1233thehongkonger added a comment to T190015: Create separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JavaScript that does not include administrators by default.

@1233thehongkonger to me, that seems counter-intuitive. Allowing people to edit interface messages generally requires a lower level of trust than allowing them to block people and delete pages. On the other hand, allowing people to edit JS that is run in the browser of every visitor should require a higher level of trust than regular adminship, since it effectively allows them to hijack every account on the wiki.

Realistically speaking,
as a bug reporter and sometimes a person who pushes community consensus to phabricator, I don't see the reason for not giving current users having the interface editor permission or single permission equivalent to obtain the right automatically - that say that interface editor should automatically transit to techadmin, where administrators shouldn't do so.

Throttle it, add new tools, and I think all is set - Do not forget all those attacks. I think it is just the start only.

Just for a note, why not add a button at Phabricator to enable reverting to an earlier state?

Well, consensus showed that we do not want to do so. At the same time, @Urbanecm , I had proposed that but our result is: We should give only the required necessary rights.

The content is slightly different in each language variant because of naming methods in different countries. For example, in Hong Kong, we get a set of British names which are not used in other regions, and we would use noteTA to do the conversion.

The main point is about local content: it can now be correctly convert to a more localized version, which is done by noteTA.

I didn't see the difference. The bug is resolved, and most importantly, the localization is already in place but it is just blacklisted.

This does affect the content as we use NoteTA to alter local content, which is the major reason of enabling the variant
