You will surely agree bugzilla is the place to ask for the implementation of consensus or to notify mediawiki's bugs. Your objection doesn't involve any mediawiki's bug but it's a decision needing consensus. Nothing prevents you from opening a rfc on meta to ask for the removal of editing rights for stewards on closed wikis. Actually I think you're simply saying most of edits done by stewards on closed wikis are useless...but that's another matter. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
