Summary: Allow automatic removal of temporary userrights
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have noticed that a lot of wikis (including some WMF wikis) assign temporary
rights. Meaning that somone with the capability to do so assigns a user flags
with the intent of removing them after a set period of time. However, some
smaller wikis forget to remove the flags or nobody happens to be available to
remove the flags, therefore ruining the concept of "temporary rights". What I
propose is that a function be added to the MediaWiki core to allow Bureaucrats
(or whoever assigns flags on the wiki) to set a specific time which when
reached will trigger the automatic removal of rights. I also think a setting
should be added (such as $wgTemporaryUserrights or similar) to allow wikis to
opt in or opt out of this feature.
