Hello,

_/I want to propose a slight change in/_

Special:PasswordReset

similar to what I proposed last year in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/95596 which was then reverted in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/95618 because the change was not properly justified and discussed last year.

I now suggest these changes:

1. includes/specials/SpecialPasswordReset.php

class SpecialPasswordReset extends FormSpecialPage { public function __construct() {

• parent::__construct( 'PasswordReset' );

• parent::__construct( 'PasswordReset', *'special-passwordreset-access'* );

}

Because we already have "passwordreset" (right to view the password reset mail when it was sent to user) in order to avoid confusion I choose special-passwordreset-access (this should be renamed as suggested in bug35121, not topic of this mail)

2. includes/DefaultSettings.php:

• *$wgGroupPermissions['*']['**special-passwordreset-access**'] = true;*

3. languages/MessagesEn.php:

'right-passwordreset' => 'View password reset e-mails',

• *'right-special-passwordreset-access**' => 'Can access

Special:PasswordReset',

Is it possible to reach a consensus about the new right so I can submit such a change to core ? I'll be available in #mediawiki now.

Is there a bug for this?
