In other words, it wasn't so much as "all the admins were removed" as it was "all the admins were categorized by what they need to be able to do". In that case I totally understand the shift. The only thing I'd recommend is to still maintain a public list of who has what rights, mainly for the purpose of contact info should somebody need something done in Bugzilla or have a question. *-- * *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2016 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com | tylerro...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
