No. (en) I don't see a need for the tools here. Expanding articles is something anyone can do. Reverting vandalism only really requires rollback which would be find to grant. Maybe in the future with more antivandalism history behind them? –MJL ‐Tauk‐^☖ 20:29, 3 Julie 2023 (UTC)[replie]
Oppone - A'm seen nae need fur the tuils here. There's been twa instances ae coontervandalism, nae instances ae requestin speedy deletion ae spam, nae contreibutions ti discussions. Mibbe gin a see contreibutions ti deletion discussions an potential policy chynges, mair antivandalism/antispam wirk, an less churnt oot short/unreferenced airticles lik Inter Miami, Ulster Banner an Enner Valencia then mibbe in the future CiphriusKane (tauk) 04:13, 4 Julie 2023 (UTC)[replie]
