Bug ID: 68312
Summary: OAuth: Grant "High-volume editing" is confusing (does
not provide "edit" right)
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: OAuth

When an app asked for an authentication via Wikipedia for "High-volume editing"
the first response is shock. Why would this supposedly read-only tool be
needing this?
I assume the grant is for generic "bot". In this case for "noratelimit" and
"apihighlimits". But please don't call it editing because it is incorrect (rate
limit applies to edits, but also other non-edit actions; and apihighlimits only
applies to queries, not edits), and simply wrong (this grant does not provide
the "edit" right at all).
