As a result of a Miraheze-specific MediaWiki configuration issue having to do with users who were previously either an autopatrolled user or an administrator and subsequently lost that user group saw their edits made while they were a member of either of those user groups became unpatrolled, which thus created an unneeded patrol backlog, a community proposal was launched by an active bureaucrat to add the autopatrol user group right to the autoconfirmed user group indefinitely. It was added indefinitely for two reasons, namely that (a) there was no known date for when the configuration issue/software bug would be fixed and (b) any registered user who is logged in can request administrator tools.
