What they do in the Portuguese Wikipedia is not what i propose; it's only close to it. What's listed at [[en:Wikipedia:Perennial proposals]] is very different from what i propose. I don't propose limited adminship; i propose to retire the concept of adminship entirely, because it's an outdated lump of very different things. (And by the way, i have a habit of re-reading Perennial proposals every couple of months.) A checkuser, for example, is not a limited admin. He's a checkuser and it's good that it is this way. What i would really like to hear in this discussion is opinions outside of the English Wikipedia. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
