Bug ID: 60616
Summary: Annotations from anonymous users can't be
edited/deleted
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Annotator
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Annotations from anonymous users are stored with user id 0. However, the code
for updating/deleting annotations checks for user id identity so even logged in
users can only edit their own comments. This could result in undeleteable,
uneditable offensive comments all over the wiki.
My proposal for this would be new permissions named "updateannotation" and
"deleteannotation" assigned to the sysop user by default. These permissions
would allow to bypass the "only update/delete your own annotation" restriction.
