I was looking at the various user groups on this page:

I see that only Clayton is in the WikiEditor group. Should you be in
that group as well?
It should be possible to alter the login page to show any important
information we want to share about the migrated site, correct? With
possibly a survey?
Also, what is the purpose of the Bots group?
The WikiEditor group is the default group for a MediaWiki extension,
FlaggedRevisions, which facilitates some of the control functionality
that Rob, you and other have been asking for. If you look at
Clayton's status page, this extension isn't yet put to use. A job for
post transition, I think. But that's why Clayton is the only current
member.
Yes, the Main_Page is a restricted page, but anyone can take a copy
and work on it in their User page hierarchy. When we have a consensus
that it's OK then I can move it back into main.
The bots group is for a function supported by MediaWiki where it
provides an XMLPRC to all batch process to work on the wiki. In this
case Clayton and co used the PyWikipediabot (I think) to carry out
bulk transactions. This needs an account with special privileges.
Hope this helps. Terry
Sorry Mind Fart. The phrase should read "it provides an XMLRPC based
API to allow batch processes to work on the wik"
