I can think of several times my Wiki has engaged in projects wherein we gave out rights ad hoc to help it be completed. A good example is when our patrollers are clearing Special:Whatlinkshere & need to be able to edit threads to remove redlinks, so we give them temporary Discussions Moderator rights. The InheriWiki previously used a temporary vs permanent system with rollback rights, wherein many users can be temporarily given the right in times of excessive vandalism, after which point the rights are removed en masse. Allowing the rights to “expire” instead would be useful on all levels.
