Summary: Add 'confirmed' group to enwiki & commonswiki providing
the 'autoconfirmed' permissions, which can be manually
assigned
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All

Severity: enhancement

There are many cases where accounts are created for known-non-spammers by other
Wikipedians mentoring them, but our current implementation won't trigger the
'autoconfirmed' group on them any sooner.
As a result, perfectly legitimate folks are stuck with hardcoded restrictions
until a certain number of days or edits; this is rather inconvenient when
training people, doing user testing, or mentoring a new user in person.
Until we've cleaned up the autoconfirm system so we can make the temporary
restrictions more intelligent and manipulable, let's go ahead and add a
'confirmed' group on enwiki and commonswiki with the same permissions which can
be switched in manually.
Go ahead and dump the 'uploader' group on enwiki also, since that was meant for
a subset of this use case.
(Note Jennifer and Frank will want some accounts set up this way for a
Wikipedia Academy event in a couple weeks.)
