Brianna82 added a comment to T257: Requests regarding Turnpike Wiki.

Okay, this rather harsh and unfriendly communication from a staff member already painted a bad picture. Now, we have this, which is totally unacceptable and amounts to global users with "superpowers" overriding a local community/admin action. That's two strikes. One more and I leave. This is not the behavior that I expect from the staff team from a service like this.

Brianna82 added a comment to T257: Requests regarding Turnpike Wiki.

But... while all RevDel leaves a trace, there are two levels of RevDel. The "lower level" can be restored by anyone with the deletionrevision right, which by default is assigned to the sysop group (as on Wikipedia). The "second level" can only be restored or viewed by users with the suppressrevision right, which is what the WP:OS is.

lewiscawte added a comment to T257: Requests regarding Turnpike Wiki.

No. Oversight is the group that remains at Wikipedia assigned the RevDel permissions. Oversight was an extension that used to leave no trace that was replaced by RevDel. All RevDel now leaves a trace and can be restored, all this information is on the WP:OS page you linked - however, this does not matter as we are not granting that right to users.

ShoutWiki is indeed not consensus-operated and individual wikis' settings generally speaking need consensus only from the existing community (if any); "global consensus" just isn't something that's a thing over here.

@znotch190711 If you aren't sure what projects to add a task to, don't. This isn't a task that requires a lot of code so it doesn't belong in Major Code. Also, stop the world and his wife to tasks.

lewiscawte closed T253: User account deletion as Wontfix.

I'm going to close this as this is really more of something that has to be dealt with upstream - deleting accounts is something that MediaWiki doesn't handle in single wiki installations yet, so until an appropriate solution has been dealt with upstream for a single wiki, we can't really develop a way to do this without breaking wikis. You can read about this more on MediaWiki.org.

If you need per-page or partial page access restrictions, you are advised to install an appropriate content management package. MediaWiki was not written to provide per-page access restrictions, and almost all hacks or patches promising to add them will likely have flaws somewhere, which could lead to exposure of confidential data.
