             Bug #: 39497
           Summary: Improve permissions
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: ArticleFeedbackv5
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


Permissions are now a mess: documentation is all about "editors, monitors,
oversighters", while code is more specific like "aftv5-hide-feedback,
aftv5-delete-feedback, aftv5-feature-feedback, ..."

Right now, the code largely uses "aftv5-feature-feedback" to identify "an
editor" - even if the functionality has nothing to do with "featuring", which
leads to confusing code (there have been multiple permissions issues before)

Either stop using "aftv5-feature-feedback" as a generic identifier for "editor"
usecases (and instead start using multiple permissions like e.g.
"aftv5-see-hidden-feedback" but make sure they're all assigned to the correct
groups of people), or make the "editor" identifier ("aftv5-feature-feedback")
less confusing.
