Bug ID: 45898
Summary: Please can we unbundle certain user deletions so that
any user can do them
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page deletion
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
After some discussion as to how we handle the declining number of admins on the
English language Wikipedia we got consensus for one proposal to reduce our need
for admins by allowing anyone to delete their own mistakes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2013_RfC/2#Unbundling_-_some_U1_and_G7s
All logged in editors would be able to delete pages if:
Either: They were in their userspace and had not been moved there from
somewhere else, or edited by someone else (ignoring bot edits and edits flagged
as minor)(This does not allow you to delete anything in user talk or any other
namespace).
Or: Any page that the editor created and which is less than three months old,
unless it has been moved or has been edited by another editor (ignoring bot
edits and edits flagged as minor).
The three months might well be a variable that admins will want to vary by
project.
Limiting this to logged in editors reflects the reality that there may be
several people editing under the same IP address.
I suspect that many other projects will also use this feature if it were
enabled on EN wiki. As well as helping with the declining number of admins this
change would contribute to the WMF's agenda of making the projects more open by
empowering more editors.
