I was thinking about the "page titles to be deleted" list, and
some of the
empty or silly orphans. No need to accumulate that stuff in the
database.
So, yes--retain the ability to permanently delete pages.
Sure we do. But currently, you and Jimbo are the only ones who *can* permanently delete pages. Jimbo is too busy to do that, and AFAIK, you are currently as well (job, wife,...;) That's the reason I suggested the "trusted" status, to get some work off your shoulders (and actually done, look at the "page titles to be deleted"!) without compromising security. I don't think we'll get the "cabal" discussion again about this one, as we are not reducing user rights, merely expanding them for some. And, we could still give The Cunctator trusted status - noone could complain about the cabal THEN! :)
Magnus, just so you're clear, this is *exactly* what a cabal is. "Expanding rights for some" users == creating a cabal.
Giving me trusted status would have no bearing on whether such a cabal exists or the ensuing problems. That you assert it would is a deliberate misinterpretation of the point.
