Maybe, if you ignore all the points listed below and brought up by other editors and MediaWiki developers here. To be frank, I am puzzled that even odder aka. Tomasz W. Kozlowski wants to see consensus proven. Any particular reason why, odder? As a commons 'crat, you know we had RfCs like [2] and they passed without a lot of attraction/ discussion. I. The extension was installed without community consensus. At least I never noticed any invitation to an RfC for enabling it. [1] Please prove it was really wanted by the community. If you can't I request the extension is removed from Commons immediately just for bureaucratic reasons. Bug 67211 for that. Sorry but you forced me to be pointy. II. Administrators must be able to administrate their wiki. This does not need consensus - and there is consensus that deletion, protection and revision deletion should be manageable by administrators has been provided often enough. Just because another extension is messing with the user rights, it is no reason to impose restrictions. I will start an explicit RfC that new extensions have to be passed by the community before they can be installed. That should lock-out such kind of issues for the future. III. We are volunteers. Don't make us unhappy for bureaucratic reasons. IV. Why did I have to write all this stuff again here? There is absolutely no learning. I feel more and more tired. Polemik heute geschenkt. V. "Community consensus" to restrict GWToolset rights (as too powerful to admins) was a bureaucrat-party on the bureaucrat's noticeboard. Why was this accepted? How can community consensus be established by a certain user group? I don't think so. But, well I didn't complain until now.
