--- Comment #11 from Jesse PW (Pathoschild) <[email protected]> 2010-04-11 18:59:47 UTC --- (In reply to comment #10) > 1a. accidentially get "Jimbo Wales" on your clipboard somehow :) No steward should hit 'Enter' without checking what they pasted, CentralAuth actions are easily reversible, and they are logged and reported so other stewards will notice even if the locking steward doesn't. It's fairly common for a steward to poke another about an action, and I'm sure locking Jimbo Wales would merit a few raised eyebrows. The bot actually reduces errors because it's so simple to use and verify before hitting 'Enter'. ("!lock Jimbo Wales" — hmm.) The regular flow I described above is so tortuous that stewards in a hurry occasionally make a mistake, like accidentally unlocking a vandal. The only CentralAuth action that's irreversible is deleting accounts, which the bot deliberately doesn't support. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
