Bug ID: 69380
Summary: Investigate whether taking an action on a page
(delete, import, etc.) should require being able to
edit it
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.24-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown

Background: "superprotect" launched on de.wp which prevented admins from
editing the page, but they were still able to delete it and undelete it, which
then removed the protection status.
In Ibe28a69c9fbab00b81c53b1643df722a3f1fbf19, it was changed so that you had to
be able to edit a page (including checks by extensions/hooks) to be able to
delete it.
Political issues aside, should we require users to be able to edit the page
before they can take an action upon it?
I don't believe that we should, and that userrights and the different actions
should be independent of each other. It's called "edit" protection, and should
only stop against edits.
