Log Message:
- (bug 8834) Split off permission for editing user JavaScript and CSS from editinterface to a new permission key editusercssjs.
I'm not sure this is a distinction that should be made in core. Anyone with editinterface can effectively take over another user account anyway if not stopped, can't they?
Only until we finish getting rid of the HTML messages. :)
And anyone with editusercssjs can likewise pose almost any security risk as someone with editinterface. There's no reason to have this different except discouragement.
I'd disagree; they're rather distinct in essence.
+$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['editusercssjs'] = true;
Also note that this manner of implementation will cause a regression in any existing wikis that have disabled editinterface for sysops. It's possibly negligible, but it should at least be mentioned in the config-changes section of the release notes.
