Please add two rights for the sysops on the Finnish Wikipedia: 1) abusefilter-modify-restricted and 2) abusefilter-revert. We have already two separate filters (#13 and #73) in place that are "blocking autopromote" but as it has apparently become a restricted action, there is no way to remove the flag from the filters when it has been set before. The second right to revert the filter actions should be self-evident as the administrators who put the filters in place should be able to revert the actions when needed. The level of trust is similar to modifying the filters. I think no community consensus is necessary for the changes because the rights to the sysops - including to block autopromote - were granted already in 2009, and the right to block autopromote has been used already before it became a restricted action. The other restricted actions (block, degroup) have been disabled system-wide already so that this would not make them available on fi-wiki. Pxos, sysop at fiwiki
