One of the points of feedback on the recent autoconfirmed account creation trial has been that some Wikimedians who work in GLAM and outreach activities to conduct edit-a-thons and trainings felt that the trial negatively impacted their ability to bring in new members of the Wikimedia community. In order to help meet these concerns, I am proposing that a new eventcoordinator user permission be created with the following abilities and guidelines for use and granting:
eventcoordinator user group will receive the ability to temporarily add +confirmed to newly created accounts, and will also receive the (noratelimit) right in order to help with account creation. This will allow the Confirmed new accounts to create mainspace pages without waiting 4 days and 10 edits and allow the creation of many new accounts from the same IP address.eventcoordinator user right to editors with an established record of editing on Wikipedia. Administrators may at their discretion temporarily grant the permission to editors who are organizing outreach events but do not have significant experience on Wikipedia. Users who have not edited in over a year may have the permission removed for inactivity.
