Wikimedia defaults are decided by wikitech-l/Wikimedia. Specific communities can choose to opt out of those defaults if they choose. Requiring all communities to explicitly opt in to any changes would make the defaults almost impossible to change. The change requiring autoconfirmed for upload wasn't approved by all the communities individually in any case, so it wouldn't make sense to require the change back to be so approved. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
