--- Comment #4 from Tyler Romeo <[email protected]> --- It greatly concerns me that this was merged so hastily without any sort of review or discussion. There is a very obvious problem with making user permissions dependent upon each other and thus violating the atomicity of each permission. This causes a number of problems, specifically: 1) It makes it more difficult for administrators to fully understand what permissions they are assigning. 2) It makes certain workflows (as mentioned in gerrit) impossible entirely. 3) It opens the door to future dependencies, thus creating a hierarchy of user permissions, which would be completely unnecessary considering MediaWiki uses RBAC, which allows for group hierarchies configurable by the wiki administrator. This should be reverted immediately until consensus is achieved on this issue, or at the very least until somebody can provide an actual reasoning for why this change was made. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
