:If it provides better clarity to the title, then I am not opposed to this potential change. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 16:45, June 2, 2019 (UTC)
::I'm not opposed to this change, and agree it could provide better clarity of what actually is at issue. However, I don't think I understand how the pages will be re-written: which term will we use: "roles" or "rights"? You wrote that the MediaWiki page would be left untouched. Does that mean the content of the pages would not match with the new title? --[[User:RoseGui|<span style="color:#FF0038">RoseGui</span><span style="color:#DE3163"><sup>✿</sup></span>]] <sup> <small>([[User talk:RoseGui|<span style="color:#BE0032">talk</span>]])</small></sup> 08:54, June 7, 2019 (UTC)
:::Let me give you an example. Currently The Sims Wiki has a page called [[The Sims Wiki:User rights]]. That page lists the different special positions and editing privileges that editors can apply for or be nominated for - things like content moderator, administrator, bureaucrat, etc. My proposal is first to change the page name from "The Sims Wiki:User rights" to "The Sims Wiki:User roles." After that, I'd change the text of the article to reflect the rename:
::::'''''User roles''' refers to special privileges and tools given to active, experienced and helpful members of The Sims Wiki. These privileges are generally tiered, with acquisition and proper use of lower roles required for obtaining higher roles. These tiers are: ''
:::MediaWiki refers to these roles as "user rights," so for instance I could say that I have the Administrator and Bureaucrat user rights. This is correct, but I think the term 'rights' can be misleading, thus my proposal. The changes wouldn't change how MediaWiki refers to these roles - they'd still be called "user rights" in the software. It's just a way of making it clearer to less-experienced users exactly what we're talking about when we discuss user rights. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 01:33, June 13, 2019 (UTC)
