Dear Wiki team,
I'd like to ask you to provide my account max.mehl with full read and write privileges in the FSFE wiki. The reason for that is that in my role as coordinator of the German Team I've seen quite a few pages which should normally be accessible for all Group/German members but most likely set their ACL options only to single account names.
Instead of asking you for access to every single page (also to other pages relevant for my work, not only the DE ones), a full access would be much easier, if that's possible :)
Thanks and best regards, Max
Wiki Care Takers have no authority over ACLs, and I think the fact that a group wasn't able to handle their ACLs at some point, doesn't sanction overriding their access rules entirely.
System hackers have access to the underlying data storage but the purpose of this is limited to technical administration, not interference with page content.
You should indeed have access to most of the pages where ACLs are currently messed up, but this merely means we should sit together with the groups, and help them tidy up their ACLs. I also know from the migration, that the number of pages, which would be affected here is very modest.

I make you an offer. I will find out where this seems to be the case, then we can turn the permissions into sensible group rules easily, and check back with people from the groups before changing them. In the Berlin office I can probably do that over the desk in most cases, or in our chitchat meeting on thursday.
