::: Or they really should split "DYK queue editor" out of "template editor" as a completely separate right. The current situation is an affront to logic. [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 14:59, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

::::We do not need all these separate user rights, we just need to give out adminship to everyone who would volunteer more effectively with it. I would happily vote for abolishing the template editor permission. —[[User:Kusma|Kusma]] ([[User talk:Kusma|talk]]) 15:13, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

:::::@[[User:Kusma|Kusma]] That is very much a systemic issue, I think the [[WP:TPE]] user-right has a place when it comes to technical work -- it is a simple check of "do you understand that editing templates is very different from normal editing with different social expectations". However, [[WT:DYK]] appears to see it more as "adminship but not really" and that thinking is (I agree with you) kinda redundant and flawed to begin with and should be remedied by giving out adminship more freely.
