Used this for the first time at a training event yesterday, users were able to create new pages / move their own drafts to main space, and no captchas, hurrah. Confirmed them just for 1 day, was all very smooth.

The group were library staff from public libraries in Scotland, the event was one of a set of advocacy workshops we’re doing across Scotland to encourage more library services to engage with Wikimedia projects / open knowledge, through the Scottish Library & Information Council Residency. Feedback was good!

Best, Sara Thomas (Scotland Programme Coordinator for WMUK)

Following changes which now disallow article creation by unconfirmed editors, a successful RfC was held to establish a new permission, "Event Coordinator". Details are at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Event_coordinator

This permission will be very useful for all of our volunteers who are involved with events and I'd encourage all of our regular trainers to apply for the permission at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/Event_coord...

Please let me or Daria know if you encounter any problems with an application,or if you're unsure of anything related to the rights.

Cheers
