After a request in AWB's bug talk to allow "eliminator" to delete pages via AWB in Portuguese Wikipedia I tried to replace !TheSession.User.IsSysop with !TheSession.User.IsSysop || !TheSession.User.IsEliminator It turns this can't work as a global change since it seems Eliminator user rights are not globally defined and sysop does not have eliminator rights. As a result, after this change in AWB's code, trying to delete a page as a sysop results in program not allowing it. I suggest that eliminator rights should be defined globally and in Wikipedias with no eliminator group, sysop get eliminator rights as default.

That's really not going to happen. We should just change to using HasRight('delete')/HasRight('undelete'). And then add a CanDeletePage in the UserInfo class, something similar to the CanEditPage method that's there already
