Description Jesús Martínez Novo (Ciencia Al Poder) 2013-08-26 19:34:29 UTC
It currently has those permissions: lqt-split, lqt-merge and lqt-react.

Some users would like more fine-grained access control (see URL). lqt-react apparently controls whether a user is allowed to post a reply to another thread. I guess how useful is that right if there's no access control for creating threads, or even edit your own/other user's messages. Apparently, $wgNamespaceProtection does not work as expected when it comes to the Thread and Summary namespaces.

I think we should at least add those specific rights for:
* creating threads
* editing own message (message created by the user)
* editing message created by other user
* create/edit thread summary

The "editing *" right may affect also the ability to change a thread subject.
