[15:01:32] <TestWikiRelay>	 [discord] <willtimes> Greetings, colleagues. I've discovered an interesting feature of the rights system in our project. It turns out that if a conditional vandal (speaking from experience — as happened with [[User:DisambiguousMonths]]) removes bureaucrat rights from you, you won't be able to unblock yourself. I don't know about stewards or system administrators. The latter have access to the server and the database, so in theory this

[15:04:30] <TestWikiRelay>	 [discord] <testinggames> That's intentional (and is the default MediaWiki setting nowadays)
[15:07:21] <TestWikiRelay>	 [discord] <willtimes> Good to know, thanks. Still, it feels like a single point of failure if a vandal can lock out a bureaucrat permanently. But if that's by design, then so be it.
[15:08:47] <TestWikiRelay>	 [discord] <testinggames> Admins can't remove bureaucrat rights (and even if they could, it's always possible for a steward to intervene)
[15:09:10] <TestWikiRelay>	 [discord] <testinggames> Even if that happened, which is very rare, it's always possible for a steward to intervene
[15:13:35] <TestWikiRelay>	 [discord] <willtimes> Got it, makes sense. I didn't know stewards have an unblockable flag. Accepted, thanks.
