Template editor

User:Nihonjoe

I regularly edit templates while working on various articles on my watchlist, or when creating new articles that are part of something covered by a template. ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:26, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Only because it was part of the admin package. ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:33, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I don't think this should be controversial, but pinging JJMC89 for comment as they removed this permission earlier today — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 17:57, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Please run through WP:TPEGRANT 5 and 6. I'm not seeing the need based on their recent template edits. —  JJMC89( T· C) 18:16, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply
If you are willing to grant it it to me, fine. If not, fine. It's not worth my time to argue with you. ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply
 Not done per JJMC89. - Fastily 03:54, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I don't understand this decision. The user easily meets criterion 5. There is nothing in the guideline that says the edits need to be "recent". I don't see how criterion 6 can apply because an admin would not usually be requesting edits to template-protected templates? — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 08:30, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Perhaps you would be willing to discuss your decision, or would you mind if I overturned it? — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 21:31, 17 April 2024 (UTC) reply
I agree with JJMC89. Rights are assigned on as-needed basis. Given that OP's admin/crat bits were just revoked for cause, I think it's completely appropriate to be discerning here - Fastily 03:53, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply
