Hello,
On T334344 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T334344> was requested to add
the 'sboverride
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist#Notes>' right to
the bot usergroup on ruwiki. This flag has never been added before to a
group afaik.
I thought that having local consensus, and since the change involves a
trusted group, the change would be fine, but, after a brief discussion on
IRC with MarcoAurelio and Martin Urbanec, I realized that this could lead
to problems, also since a GRfC
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Allow_sysops_to_overri…>
on giving this flag to sysops has not passed, and that there is no valid
reason why to be able to overcome the blacklist.
What do you think? This should be included into the limits to the
configuration changes
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Limits_to_configuration_changes> or, if
local projects require it, this right could still be added? Many thanks for
your attention.
Have a nice day :)
