Forum:New User Right

Ello' everyone I'm here to discuss a possible new user right. → what this user right will do is give normal users the ability to lock pages from anon's. I feel like it'd be a good thing for normal users to have if an anon is vandalizing or edit warring. I think its best to restrict the tool for anti-vandalism/edit conflicts only. With Black ops II around the corner, and potentially more vandalism looming, I'd say this user right would be a good tool to have. Please leave your thoughts below, We'll have to discuss the name for it and also see how it'd be set up (I imagine just like how Blog patrol or rollback works.) 21:46, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

I could see this being handy during the BOII multiplayer reveal. I'm in favor of it. 21:52, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

I feel that is a good idea, but not all of the anons on the wikia are trolls, most from what I've seen at times help out with articles that have some grammer and trivia problems, also if anons can't troll it what is stopping them from getting an account and troll on it with that account? 21:53, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I never said all anon's were trolls, and I assume the new right would just let normal users lock pages like admins do, (lock pages from new and anonymous users only.) 21:57, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

I personally think this is an exemplary idea. A right like this really helps benefit the Wiki, and I hardly doubt any bad would come out of this.  Madness   a.k.a. Salad b. Cow     22:00, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

It seems to be a sound idea as long as the right is handed out to trustworthy users who will use it responsibly and correctly. 22:06, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
