Add translationadmin to Global sysops
[edit]Global sysops occasionally needs to delete translation pages on some multilingual wikis, which is restricted to sysops with translationadmin rights. However, any local sysops can grant the rights to self, and global sysops can't. That's why I think this will not be a bad idea to grant the following perms to the group:

- What multilanguage wiki's don't have a community process to manage their TAdmins? — xaosflux Talk 02:57, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
- I guess almost every wiki has (except foundationwiki or mediawikiwiki), but when a translation page deletion comes to us, we can't take action there. And as you have mentioned about community process, all wikis also have community process to manage their sysops and inter-admins, but gs's have those rights. 🪶-TΛNBIRUZZΛMΛN (💬) 03:30, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
- Both foundationwiki and mediawiki have processes for managing TA if GS need access [1][2] (examples [3][4]). Johannnes89 (talk) 05:57, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. I'll follow those instructions to request local rights. But is that not possible to add those with the gs bundle instead? 🪶-TΛNBIRUZZΛMΛN (💬) 06:02, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Oppose Not all GS have TA experience and not knowing how the extension works will break pages unnecessarily. GS experienced with the translate extension can, and should, go through the normal process of getting the right through community input. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 06:09, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
Support but do you really need all 4 rights to delete a translation page? Leaderboard (talk) 06:16, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
- I don’t know, if one or two of those rights is enough to delete translation page, then adding one or two is ok, someone experienced might help. 🪶-TΛNBIRUZZΛMΛN (💬) 06:19, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
- Found it on mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration, Deletion requires "delete" and "pagetranslation" permission. So adding the
pagetranslationonly is enough. 🪶-TΛNBIRUZZΛMΛN (💬) 06:41, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Per above, Support adding pagetranslationonly. -- CptViraj (talk) 12:31, 12 April 2026 (UTC)- Need to think more on this; striking for now. -- CptViraj (talk) 12:34, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
