It would be possible, although kind of hackish. The procedure would be to create a "norollback" group that can be manually granted and revoked, then make the autopromote criteria for rollback require that the user not be in the "norollback" group. Possibly a nicer way of doing this would be good, but it should be good enough for now. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
