User talk:Davidwr/AdminiBot
Initial reflections
[edit]I've been an editor since late 2006. The English Wikipedia community has consistently been reluctant to "un-bundle" the tools. Therefore, it's highly unlikely that this entire proposal will be adopted any time soon here. However, it may be adopted in other communities.
What I do see as a possibility in the English Wikipedia is that if the bot is written for another project, it may be re-used to implement the "user" permissions, but only if there is a backlog of administrative tasks and allowing users to do these tasks by themselves would have a significant impact on the administrative backlog when the issue is brought up for discussion.
I write this in March 2013. Communities change, and it's entirely possible that a year or two from now Wikipedia editors will be more interested in tool-unbundling than they have been in the past. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 19:47, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
