@STei-WMF the second change is merged.

Unfortunately it's not as simple as adding a column, otherwise we would have done it long time ago. For example, there are many filters on Special:Log that wouldn't be able to use the filter if we implement this. e.g. logging based on action/type which could make the queries extremely slow and bring down everything. Also not that logging table is overly large and needs some clean up before we can add more columns/indexes to it.

Would there similarly be an issue with hiding actions that were explicitly marked as bot edits (T18816)? That is, if it becomes possible to pass bot: true in API calls, would this prevent the addition of a hide bot function in Special:Log?

Yes, the notification should arrive after the second change is merged.

I will start thinking of some potential wordings, though. (@neriah, any thoughts?)

Is there anything specific we should report? For example, should we explain that during peak hours, some time may pass between when the permission actually expires and when the notification is received?

I believe that you are right. However, it is possible that for certain permissions there is still benefit in an update a week before the expiration of the permission, for example for ipblock-exempt, for which users can certainly benefit from an early notification. Perhaps it will be possible to disable it by default, and to enable it only on wikis that will request to renew this. @Leaderboard

+1.

• Should we give users a preference to turn off this type of notification in Special:Preferences -> Notifications tab?

@Pathoschild, Can Synchbot be used for the task?

Hi @Novem_Linguae, I would prefer the discussion to take place in T419623. A related question has already been asked there.

Out of interest, would this sort of logging/alerting be intended to cover JS files that get automatically loaded by MW itself (e.g. common.js, <skin>.js), or would it also e.g. be intended to cover any .js files in a given user's userspace (e.g. User:A smart kitten/userscripts/fancy-userscript-name.js)?

No response from @Vanshika. I'll do it myself.

Hmm, are you sure that right now it's possible to view the IP address of temporary accounts during a read-only period? I haven't checked it just now, but I'm pretty sure that during the recent emergency read-only period, when I tried to display IP addresses, I got an error.
