Forums - Rights with news reporters and admin

This page is an archive. Please do not edit the contents of this page. No reason for archiving given. Currently, due to someone adding it into the sysop group (not sure who), but admins currently have news reporter rights. Just wondering if we want this built into sysop (as well as being able to give out news reporter rights to non-admins, much like how patroller is built into admin but can be given out separately), or keep news reporter separate (like how QCG is completely separate). NovaHawk 01:39, 9 February 2014 (UTC) Allow them built into admin Keep them separate from admin I'd rather them separate personally. I just feel like the QCG, they're very different roles NovaHawk 01:39, 9 February 2014 (UTC) Per Nova.

Non-admins can still get the news reporter right as well (it would work the same way as patroller) NovaHawk 21:38, 9 February 2014 (UTC) Yeah, I understood (I was the one who defined the group permissions in LocalSettings). I think that if a sysop needs to edit news pages, they could be added to the news reporter group. All sysops don't need to edit news by default though, I don't think. --ToaMeiko (talk) 21:42, 9 February 2014 (UTC) Closing, and it looks like this has already been taken of.
