[Labs-l] New wiki group contentadmin created

Wed Oct 24 09:28:01 UTC 2012

Can you grant these bits as well:

bigdelete
editinterface
rollback
browsearchive
deletedhistory
deletedtext

basically, they wouldn't allow much more, given that tools that are
already granted can somehow be used as workaround to get to same stuff
(undelete would let me read the deletedhistory, for example, just it
would be more complicated). It would make the wiki maintenance easier.
Thanks
