Change subject: Allow bureaucrats on WMF wikis to grant and remove 'confirmed' ...................................................................... Allow bureaucrats on WMF wikis to grant and remove 'confirmed' There was some consensus to make this avalaible for administrators but there also was some concerns as well as if this was really needed for small projects who do not care about user rights management. As such, and given the current Meta-Wiki policy on not granting 'bureaucrat' permissions but to well stablished communities that demonstrates a need of one, plus other series of securities to avoid wiki takeover episodes as we've seen in the past; I think granting this to bureaucrats will satisfy both parties. This is without prejudice of individual wikis willing their administrators to be able to grant and remove this permission as well and without prejudice of leaving the current configuration untouched as well: that is, wikis that have already granted this to administrators or bureaucrats won't have their configuration changed now unless it becomes redundant in which case a proposal for cleanup would have to be filed and actioned.
