I talked about a similar idea in ["Advanced editor" status discussion](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/advanced-editor-status-discussion/410058) however I didn’t say how one could acquire such status. I mainly talked about a different UI for the different editor groups but having “more power” for the more experienced editors wouldn’t also be too bad.

For example I can see myself as an experienced editor but every time I see someone nominated for the auto-editor status I notice that they usually have 10 times more edits than me 🙂
