--- Comment #5 from Lupo <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #3) > Per-group gadgets aren't in line with MediaWiki's access control model which > is right- not group-based. That is, if your gadget is related to editing, make > it require edit rights. If it's related to countervandalism, require rollback > and so on. Then that model has already been subverted by the autoconfirmed and bot "rights", which are clearly "marker rights" introduced as work-arounds for there not being group-based access control. It would be easy and logical to add to that a "user" marker right. In the precise case, it's a gadget that makes certain editing operations easier, but people don't want to enable it for non-logged-in users (because of vandalism concerns). Strikes me as completely legitimate. But rights=edit doesn't fit the bill, that would enable the gadget for all users. We can (and *do*) work-around this limitation by using the "purge" right as suggested by Krinkle, but that's a hack. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
