Create user group 'template editor' (Moved from Commons:Village pump/Proposals)

IMPLEMENTED:

This is now in place. There are still quite a few odds and ends to deal with not to mention the big project of actually downgrading the templates. So please be patient while we work all that out. --Majora (talk) 20:11, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T227420

I propose to create a new user group called 'template editor' with the following rights:

  • Edit protected templates (templateeditor)
  • Enable two-factor authentication (oathauth-enable)
  • Override the title or username blacklist (tboverride)

I know several trusted technical users who regularly make edit requests. They should be able to edit the protected templates themselves, and maybe help with fulfilling edit requests made by their fellow users.

Requests to become a template editor should be made at Commons:Requests for rights and granting this right to candidates is at the discretion of admins. 4nn1l2 (talk) 01:34, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support padlock option 1

  1. Option 1 for me. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 20:31, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Option 1 for me too. is not clear. BTW, why the vertical bar inside curly brackets? 4nn1l2 (talk) 02:39, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @4nn1l2: The alternative has been changed. Still prefer this choice? 1989 (talk) 19:44, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @1989: Yes. is clearer than . 4nn1l2 (talk) 00:52, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
# Option 1 is easier to read and more accurate in its intention, though the brackets could use a rework to look like the ones in Option 2. I note, however, that the Chinese Wikipedia ended up adopting instead. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:01, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support padlock inbetween

  1. Even better, see how it looks at 20px: .   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 12:27, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Looks best to me at icon size Abzeronow (talk) 17:29, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support padlock alternate

  1. This alternate for option 1 also matches other padlocks featuring characters: ({{). Compare used on enwiki. A variant with bigger symbol was aesthetically unappealing. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:49, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @LaundryPizza03: Any reason why you reverted the bigger symbol version? It is much clearer to see. 1989 (talk) 19:17, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @1989: At that request, I have decided to restore the version with the bigger symbol. Clarity is much more important than aesthetics. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 19:28, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  2. This would be my second choice.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 21:24, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Compared with the others, looks best - but with difficulties when at icon size 20×20 -- sarang♥사랑 16:53, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Looks better now. 1989 (talk) 19:40, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  5.  Support Now looks much better at icon size! To me it clearly depends to templates. -- sarang♥사랑 05:41, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support padlock option 2

  1. Option 2 (two) looks the best, in my opinion. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 01:31, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Option 2 - the brackets are better to distinguish, at option 1 they are too difficult to identify as brackets --sarang♥사랑 03:44, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sarang: actually, that's not universally true. At icon size, is more clear than . Option 2 couldn't be used anywhere at icon size. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 11:30, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    The different protection messages shows it larger; there are at least 3 larger displays. Because always the same icon should flag the same case, I am thinking about creating an icon which combines both advantages. --sarang♥사랑 07:24, 13 June 2019 (UTC) - - - It looks like that: - the rough drawn large curlies are better visible?[reply]
    @Sarang: The alternative has been changed. Still prefer this choice? 1989 (talk) 19:48, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I change now my preference to "alternate". -- sarang♥사랑 05:41, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Option 2 - Best design.--Vulphere 04:32, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
