To clarify, I get what you're trying to do, but
there has got to be a
better solution besides denying key features to and thus impairing
long-term contributors, because disabling this for everyone (but
apparently WMDE (?!)) does exactly that. On the wikis, for instance,
we have specific groups for this sort of thing (rollback, file moving,
bypass captcha, bypass rate limits), to let established users do the
things they need to do, without it being allowed of absolutely
everyone from the start, and without requiring them to be admins,
either, to do it. Perhaps actually using one of our more general
existing groups for this here would make sense?
Bawolff has suggested Trusted-Contributors as a group that might make
sense to add. That seems sane to me, so I've added that group in
addition to the list above. Hopefully that unblocks your work.
I agree: having specific groups that are granted specific permissions
that allow established users to continue their work unobstructed should
be achievable in the near-term.
