I propose the restructuring of our "minor" user groups and the introduction of autopromotion to user groups other than autoconfirmed.

= Current situation =

*(auto)confirmed: Some minor rights like moving pages and editing semi-protected pages
*autopatrolled: autopatrol + patrol + (auto)confirmed rights
*rollback: rollback + autopatrol + patrol + (auto)confirmed rights
(contracted; show full)
==== No autopromotion to rollbacker ====

# …

== Removal of the confirmed user group ==

Almost all users who are manually confirmed are also assigned autopatrolled by the admin dealing with the request. As the rights of the autopatrolled group now also contain the (auto)confirmed rights (see [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/88694/4/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php,unified this change]), I also propose that the "confirmed user" right be removed completely.
 When a user who is not yet autoconfirmed would need rights of the (auto)confirmed group, he would be given autopatrolled instead. This does no harm, because patrolling is only a control that no vandalism happened.

== Merge autopatrolled and rollbacker user group ==

If the proposal above to introduce autopromotion for both autopatrolled and rollback passes, and if the requirements for both groups will be the same, it would make sense to merge them. The only difference between the groups is that rollbackers also have the rollback right, all other rights (autopatrol, patrol, (auto)confirmed rights) are included in both. Therefore, my proposal is to remove the rollback group and to give the rollback right to autopatrollers, should the above proposal pass.

= Option 2 =

== Merge autopatrolled and autoconfirmed user group ==

This alternative proposal is already enforced on the English language Wikipedia where all autoconfirmed users have the ablity to patrol other users' edits. For Wikidata, this would mean that both the confirmed and rollbacker user group remain (unless the proposal below passes as well).
