The editcontentmodel user right (see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:ChangeContentModel]) is currently bestowed (I believe mistakenly) to new users, which you can check via [[Special:ListGroupRights]]. This allows any logged-in user to change the content model of any page on the wiki between CSS, Javascript, JSON, plaintext, sanitized CSS, and wikitext, using [[Special:ChangeContentModel]]. On the English Wikipedia, this is a user right only granted to administrators and other such trusted user groups, I expect because it can massively reformat an entire page, and because I'm not sure if it checks for permission to edit the target page. | The editcontentmodel user right (see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:ChangeContentModel]) is currently bestowed (I believe mistakenly) to new users, which you can check via [[Special:ListGroupRights]].

There's only been three uses of this tool (one use being a test by myself) on this wiki, so I'm sure you guys aren't going to be missing out on much by restricting usage of this tool to only trusted users.

:This is enabled by default in MediaWiki, presumably because wikis are intended to be permissive and collaborative by nature. Thanks for noticing though! I will be pushing an update shortly to restrict it appropriately. [[User:JakeL|JakeL]] ([[User talk:JakeL|talk]]) 18:52, 13 March 2026 (UTC) | |||
