Fair use is US law and doesn't apply to large parts of this world, for example the European Union. As admins currently have the passive right (deletedhistory) anyway, they could also actively hide log entries after bug 18674 is resolved. > I think it would be reasonable to give bureaucrats deletelogentry rights, > though; that would strike a good balance between transparency and enabling > necessary deletions. I disagree as the bureaucrat group cannot be seen as a superset of the sysop one. And revision deletion is clearly something which only admins should be able to do by default. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
