A-Room-spec Something to do with the room version specifications clarification An area where the expected behaviour is understood, but the spec could do with being more explicit good first issue This is a fix that might be an easy place for someone to start for their first contribution help wanted Interested in contributing to the spec?

https://spec.matrix.org/v1.10/rooms/v1/#authorization-rules (8) refers to 'required power level', which isn't a term which appears to be defined anywhere nearby.

(Other room versions have the same problem)

The auth rules were moved out of the server-server spec, and were still not near the power level definition.

for reference, the definition in question is at https://spec.matrix.org/v1.10/server-server-api/#definitions.

The room spec also refers to "redact level", which has the same problem.

https://spec.matrix.org/v1.11/client-server-api/#mroompower_levels does a decent job of defining "The level required to send a certain event", though doesn't use the words "required power level".
