Hello,
It seems I have entirely missed the whole discussion over this new tool. I discovered the tool just today and I was wondering :
- how did the current editors with access to this tool got it ? (which
process to get that new status). Are the people only from the arbcom ? Or are they accepted by the arbcom ?
Mixture of Devs and arbcom. Arcom would have had a hard time getting elected if they were not trusted and devs could already do this
It is needed to allow us to remove person information from page histories without hammering the servers.
okay
I found this one : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_permissions#Oversight_rights_for...
It seems to imply others than arbcom could have the access, but this would be granted by arbcom. I suppose it would be similar ruling than for the checkuser access.
