Description

Hi.

Currently enwikinews does not use the reviewer group (note: on en wikinews [[n:MediaWiki:Group-reviewer]] is 'Super-reviewers' so this group is known on enwikinews as 'Super-reviewer', but internally its the 'reviewer' group). We have no need for the 'validate' right it contains. It tends to confuse users, so we'd like to ask it be removed if possible. Currently [[user:Voice of All]] is the only member of this group

We understand that this group is defined internally within the flagged revisions extension, so if there is no clean way of removing it, thats ok, but we thought we would ask to see if it was possible.

Community consensus is at:

Thanks,
Bawolff
