Hi,
On Monday (2016-09-12), I plan on deploying a change that allows most users to change the "content model" of a page[1] (the "editcontentmodel" user right). This functionality has been available to administrators for a few months now. The permission is similar conceptually to "move", so it is being granted to all groups that have the "move" permission (and taken away from those that don't have "move"). Specifics can be seen in the Gerrit change[2].
This functionality is mostly technical, and documentation can be found at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:ChangeContentModel. Currently, the main usecase is to allow any user to create a MassMessage target list[3], but others are planned in the future.
If you find documentation missing, or want to change your wiki's configuration, or have questions in general, feel free to respond via email, or file a task in the MediaWiki-ContentHandler project and CC me.

Hi,
A few more blockers were identified (and some resolved!) so I'm going to postpone this until at least Thursday (2016-09-15).
Thanks, -- Legoktm
