Isarra <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #15 from Isarra <[email protected]> --- Requiring being able to edit a page to delete it doesn't make a whole lot of sense in core: default MediaWiki comes with no situations in which anyone would be able to delete anything they can't edit, and few MediaWiki installs will have much reason to change the default structure in such a way. Of course in some cases it is possible that system administrators may add configuration where this may occur, and the use cases there could be something to look into, but really if this comes up, shouldn't they be using extensions in order to properly fine-tune the permissions? I think what this really concerns is extensions. Extensions are what will change the behaviour (unless we actually get some kind of consensus otherwise), and also what will be affected by such changes. Any extension that adds an interface where a user will not be editing a page directly could run into problems depending on how it is implemented (is there any standard?), because while editing can take a lot of different forms, some less direct than others (from using a special form to using a bot), deleting does not. Consider the example of talk pages - extensions such as LQT provide a new frontend for these, where users do not edit the base talk pages directly. But as I recall, it's the same old interface as ever to actually delete a LQT board, because it's still just a page underneath. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
