Following a discussion at English Wikisource, would the settings please be added to the site configuration to have the FLOOD permission activated. Looking to ... 1) Have flood right added (updated for addition) # groupOverrides 'enwikisource' => array( 'autoconfirmed' => array( 'patrol' => true ), // http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12355 'autopatrolled' => array( 'autopatrol' => true ), # Bug 18307 'flood' => array( 'bot' => true ), // (add here) ), 2) Have the ability for the flood group to be administered # wgAddGroups (updated for addition) ... '+enwikisource' => array( 'bureaucrat' => array( 'autopatrolled', 'flood' ), 'sysop' => array( 'abusefilter', 'autopatrolled' ), ), # wgRemoveGroups (updated for addition) ... '+enwikisource' => array( 'bureaucrat' => array( 'autopatrolled', 'flood' ), 'sysop' => array( 'abusefilter', 'autopatrolled', ), ), # 'wgGroupsAddToSelf' (add the line) ... 'enwikisource' => array( 'sysop' => array( 'flood' ) ), # 'wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf (add the line) ... 'enwikisource' => array( 'sysop' => array( 'flood' ) ), Discussions at ... https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:Scriptorium&oldid=3852614#Flood option that administrators can apply https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:Administrators%27_noticeboard&oldid=3850419#Consideration of flood flag as part of admin tool kit From looking at the InitialiseSettings.php file, I have covered what seemed necessary, though please don't assume that I have it right, or got it all, as there are no instructions.
Those links are https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:Scriptorium&oldid=3852614#Flood_option_that_administrators_can_apply and https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:Administrators%27_noticeboard&oldid=3850419#Consideration_of_flood_flag_as_part_of_admin_tool_kit The first seems to have only had one comment in the last couple of weeks and there aren't that many on the second one either. Is there anywhere else that you can notify users about this change, I imagine the English Wikisource community is slightly larger than the other Wikisource communities?
[Damn lack of preview, apologies about the urls failing with paste.] It is hardly an issue for the bulk of the community as they don't use it, wouldn't use it, and simply don't have an opinion. For such matters that is the two places to make comment, and is our process.
Submitted in gerrit, https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/8326/ awaiting review.
Change merged by Reedy - please mark as verified if it works.
