Global sysops/Vote

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
The following discussion is closed: This proposal passes, but without the "Global blocks" related rights.


This proposal's raw rating is : 1385 / 1802 (76.9%).

One of the main points of concern about this proposal is the ability of global sysop to globally block accounts. (supports 39, 209, 422, 520 / opposes 5, 6, 13, 25, 50, 67, 77, 82, 89, 102, 148, 171, 180, 187, 217, 231, 242, 248, 252, 327, 331, 349, 387 ; plus all the people that voted "as per" them)

The proposal should have been closed a whole month ago. The most viable compromise seems allow the proposal while removing this litigious bit.

so.

The Global Sysop proposal is accepted, with the following rights removed from its original formulation :

  • Bypass global blocks (globalblock-exempt)
  • Disable global blocks locally (globalblock-whitelist)
  • Make global blocks (globalblock)
  • Remove global blocks (globalunblock)

    Support Support'd. perhaps wikis on external sites elect to be included in this list, if they feel that they would be better off with the aid of these obviously-very-qualified editors. I assume wikis about specific topics are not under Wikimedia's administration, but if they are being overrun with vandals or have administrators fighting, these sites could issue a metaphorical call for help through whatever medium we set up. The next version of the wiki software could include a tag of whether or not to allow these people power, and they (the external wikis) could add themselves to the privilege list.

  4. Seems sensible, if you only have two or three admins on a project you can't expect them to be online 24/7, especially if the vandals are english speakers who don't necessarily operate in the same timezone. WereSpielChequers 11:32, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    And what happens if there are only one or two admins, who only check the project on a daily basis, or even less - many only dedicate a few hours each weekend. global sysops will do all the work because it "needs" doing, except during the time those admins are around. The result is that the local admins will not be able to shape their project, and without the sense of responsibility to tend to the garden, they will walk away from the project leaving it to the global sysops who probably dont understand the language. Or, they will opt out. John Vandenberg 12:34, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    That would be a sound argument if global sysops did more than anti-vandalism. I hardly think blocking rampaging vandals, which is likely to be 99.9% of the work (even nonsense pages are tagged for local evaluation today rather than given to the stewards to handle), will annoy the local community. NW (Talk) 12:41, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    blocking rampaging vandals does not need global sysops with all of the rights of local admins and global blocking.
    The proposal currently says they will be doing "non-controversial maintenance", which is the vast majority of a local sysops duties on a small wiki. John Vandenberg 12:58, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    A few anti-vandal experiences that I have seen while doing SWMT work. These all require tools in addition to the block button: An editor on the Greek Wikipedia who uses multiple IPs and a script to vandalize on page over and over again. Temporary semi-protection is often used to stop this. Multiple IPs go on a mass vandal page creation, creating pages with solely obscenties. Is there really any reason to for those pages to stick around? Page-move vandalism still occurs on small projects. I would go on, but I probably shouldn't. In any case, these are not isolated incidents. These happen every week, and stewards are not always there to stop it. NW (Talk) 17:09, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Weak Support Support. On the one hand, there are editors like EVula who are dead impartial, a good trait for an admin on so many wikis. On the other, there are people who feign goodwill just so they can get the tool and proceed to abuse it. Plus, it's extremely powerful, which could either do good or bad, depending on whose hands it's in. I'm putting up a weak support because I'm assuming there are enough honest editors on the project to keep things under control. --Gp75motorsports 20:28, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Support Support Publicly Visible 00:50, 9 January 2010 (UTC) Most of the naysayers seem to be either misunderstanding the proposal (e.g. the oft-overlooked "opt out") or misguidedly shouting about tyranny when many small wiki users are voting "yes". As far as I can tell, this proposal has almost everything to do with cross-wiki vandalism, and these cries for assistance from users helpless to stop cross-wiki vandals while the stewards are unavailable fill me with righteous rage! A global sysop group that doesn't have the power of stewards but can deal decisively with these insolent whelps is definitely a great idea.[reply]

    It seems many people represent the opposition as folks who predict pervasive tyrany, this doesn't really seem accurate and it doesn't really seem to be the thrust of their objections. The problem cited is that the potential is created, and that along with the increased complexity, responding to inevitable abuse of power becomes harder. The degree of abuse will probabl be quite minor based on my present understanding of this proposal, but who can say, especially when the means for gaining the privledge and for revoking it are still a bit unclear. The problem I see is that the wikis where this is needed will be by-definition under-policed. I would think it easier to deal with a vandal that anyone can check than a privledged user that is immune to most user's objections. So we create a class of users who will be given extraordinary powers over particularly unmoderated sites- this to me seems to be a possible problem. As for the pros of the proposal, I see no reason why more stewards can't be recruited nor why the requirements for obtaining this privledged status and the manner in which it may be used can't be modified if needed. It seems to me that if the steward program isn't working on certain sites then this program should be discussed directly. In short, the complexity, opportunity for arbitrary excercise of power in an environment with less oversight, and the unclear necessity of creating a new user class rather than simply getting more stewards or changing the nature of this user class's functions and appointment process as needed, makes me oppose the proposal, and it seems many share similar views. It isn't that prevasive abuse is foreseen, its that the need for this change is unclear and that the negatives, however slight, push many to not being able to see this proposal as a beneficial change given the readily available and well-tested alternatives (steward program expansion, modification) not having bee shown inadequate.--Δζ 05:28, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Weak Support Support. On the one hand, there are editors like EVula who are dead impartial, a good trait for an admin on so many wikis. On the other, there are people who feign goodwill just so they can get the tool and proceed to abuse it. Plus, it's extremely powerful, which could either do good or bad, depending on whose hands it's in. I'm putting up a weak support because I'm assuming there are enough honest editors on the project to keep things under control. --Gp75motorsports 20:23, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Support because…

    • (a) It is possible for someone who doesn't speak the language on many wikis to detect vandalism and other blatant forms of abuse. Can conflict of interest, weasel words, and other forms of subtle vandalism, be detected? Probably not. But I regularly visit and do contribute to sites in languages I don't speak. Languages in a non-Latin alphabet or that are markedly different from English would not be a place I could help much, but that's the smaller portion of the total number of wikis. (I am not a local sysop and would not want to be a globabl one; I'm just sharing my experiences as a frequent cross-wiki visitor and contributor).
    • (b) The "powers" being given to the global sysops are essentially the same as they would have if they were local sysops. No biggie there. They are just assisting the local ones. Maybe the name for the role should be changed to "Global Assistant Sysops" to make that point more clear?
    • (c) For the people who don't see how this "helps Wikipedia", you're living in a monoculture with blinders on. "Wikipedia" is a vast multilanguage project with several related sites. While English encyclopedia articles may be your interest, someone in Laos may be much more interested in the Laotian Wikinews site. If the person goes there, and the site is all fouled up due to obvious vandalism or other serious maintenance problems, that person will have a very poor view of "Wikipedia". If that person is a journalist, blogger, or otherwise well-connected, his or her low opinion of "Wikipedia" will spread. Negative feelings for non-profit organizations keeps donations down, makes major contributors nervous, and harms the overall project. "Wikipedia" is a complex organism, and damaging even small parts of it (i.e., smaller projects in uncommon languages) harms the larger, more visible parts, too.
    • For those reasons, the reasons already voiced above, and more that I can't think of, I support this proposal (and would strongly support it with the name change to "Global Assistant Sysops"). —Willscrlt “Talk” • “w:en” • “c” ) 10:46, 9 January 2010 (UTC) (edit conflict)[reply]

Because of that, it might make it easier for a patient, malicious user to slowly infiltrate the community using fragmentary, poorly coordinated support from smaller wikis in order to gain general blocking rights. Thus at the very least I'd like to see strong contributions to and consensus within one of the bigger wikis (perhaps even English Wikipedia itself) as an additional criterion for the status.

    We already have "global sysops" - they are called stewards. This proposal will create a second set, who don't have checkuser, and are not subject to a well advertised election, but still have the ability to globally block. i.e. this proposal waters down who can do global blocks.

Support Support Some people here commented that an active Wikipedia should have enough local admins, but even a somewhat active writing community may lack a person with required knowledge and desire to administrate.

  2. Support Support More stewards are needed, yes, but there is a higher required standard for steward selection, especially given the potential damage that a steward can cause versus that of a global sysop. Having a larger pool of people willing and able to handle obvious vandalism alone is worth implementing this proposal. I'd encourage people to reconsider opposes based on inability to understand the local language: Stewards don't understand all the local languages now, and yet manage to assist these projects in adminstrative duties.

  78. Support Support Explained very well by Willscrlt. While some of the "no" arguments seem fair, a substantial proportion seem unfounded (e.g. failure to understand that a non-native speaker can detect obvious spam; global sysops would not be involved in content politics), others seem to assume the worst motivations on the behalf of sysops (if they are doing the thankless task of interwiki antispam, it would be very unfair to accuse them of being "little Napoleons" or "powerseekers"; I fail to see why this proposal is "anti-democratic"), others seem due to a bias against "useless" small wikis "draining" (wo)manpower from "useful" larger ones. If an editor wishes to be involved in anti-spam and anti-vandalism, it isn't for us to dictate how to do it in the most "useful" way, or accuse them of bad motives - but we should ensure that editor is equipped with the tools required to do the job efficiently and with minimum hassle.

    The alternative POV is that the projects may one day be viable, but lack sufficient interest at the current time and when people who can contribute find a project full of major problems with the frustrating inability to do anything about it (and the lack of support for the too busy stewards) is going to prevent the project ever taking off. And as this oppose section illustrates, being sysop is a thankless job, people like to hate you and many editors like to just avoid it. If you force people who would prefer to be editors or lack the experience to become administrators, because no one else can handle the mess then these people have less time to contribute and may end up leaving all together when they get too annoyed with being an admin Nil Einne 03:24, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    First of all one example doesn't prove "most vandalism". Secondly, it isn't unmistakable gibberish, it's a "Stinky & Loof" level file. Thirdly, you haven't even proven this single example is vandalism, inserting "not" at position where it is grammatically correct would be less work for the alleged vandal and more work for the self appointed "vandal fighter". Erik Warmelink
    I surely am able to make a good guess as to what language a text is in. Ukrainian would for example be written in Cyrillic; Vietnamese tends to have quite a few accented characters. Both have an average word length that is well below 30 characters.

    That line unfortunately assumes that local administrators would be naturally incompetent to handle vandalism. If a project has more vandals than its natural administrators can handle, then a better idea would be to advertise the particular project across our various projects and request interested editors in joining the particular project. If that particular project has depth and interest value which is enough to allow these new editors from other projects to stick on and become administrators, so be it.

I will never support any global sysop proposal at any time. Even though the proposal claims to promise that global sysops have no editorial control and whatnot, there will still be other issues. One major issue: if a user cannot understand the target wiki's language, the user simply cannot do anything right, including the very tasks in the proposal. In addition, this will create another class of users in the rights hierarchy, creating more complexity and resentment amongst the greater Wikimedia community. The option of individual wikis opting-out is simply not enough—a software solution is needed and must be ready for use by the time a proposal like this is brought to vote (correct me if I'm wrong).

    Stewards are excepted because they are elected by the greater community. Often times, if not all the time, they are among the best at what they did/do before stewardship, and thus are held to very stringent standards in terms of conduct. Some sysops on, I believe, mainly the larger wikis and those involved in SWMT may very well not be as competent as stewards in terms of conduct.

    It might seem unlikely, but I'm a bit touched by the conflict currently occuring on the German wikipedia, where many users don't agree with the general administrative consensus about deleting pages. The privileges the global sysop right grants to the sysop may seem ordinary for the sysop's position, but I think since the global sysop's privileges apply to a quite large range of projects, they should be cut down even further to reduce the risk. Even the stewards cannot overlook a large range of projects and so a lot of abuse originating from the global sysop can happen before they get their rights removed. With even lowered permissions (I'm talking especially nuking pages and autopatrol) I see a lower risk in that. – But that's only my opinion, feel free to object against it! Perhaps I'm also seeing things too critical. Yet I have not been convinced to draw back my vote, however.

Oppose Oppose. Firstly, elections of global sysops with such set of rights (including global blocks) must be a subject to a broader community consensus. Secondly, 10 active sysops is a very strong criterion, most non-Wikipedia projects (Wikinews, Wikisources etc) have less sysops. In some situations even stewards can make very strange desicions, for example, in Ukrainian projects there have been some deletions, where a steward understood neither content of the page nor the reason of nomination (like here - deletion of a historical debate as POV or here - adding Category:Swedish writers to speedy deletion template), and I think that adding global sysops, who will do that work on regular basis, not only in emergency situations, will be potentially more harmful. In my opinion, the only reason to activate global sysop rights in a project must be a community desicion that they really need someone to watch their project. Otherwise we will have conflicts between global sysops, who think that their actions are correct, and local sysops, who know the language and local policies better. And, of course, there are stewards, who can always help fighting vandalism and spam in any project. If stewards can not help, we may just need more active stewards — NickK 11:43, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Yes, we do need more stewards, and we will hopefully have them soon. However, the volume of work will still outpace the growth of our steward team and the manpower available. This proposal aims to overcome that growth.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 19:32, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    The difference between a steward and a local sysop is that stewards act only in emergency situations, and that's a very good solution of problems with small wikis. However, a global sysop will be able to act like a local sysop. Projects with 9 sysops and even some projects with 2 or 3 sysops usually have rather developed blocking or deletion policies and have a rather broad community. If a global sysop works their like a normal sysops, deleting pages that (he or she supposes) match the CSD or banning users who (he or she thinks) add nonsense to articles, and makes some mistakes, we will definitely have a large number of conflicts, as global sysops are not supposed to understand the language of the project they are working in. I support this idea if: a) they can't work with global blocks, as large wikis are also affected, b) they can't mark their own edits as bot edits, as local sysops can't, c) they help only in emergency situations, when there is some heavy vandalism/spam or local sysops are inactive for a long time. Otherwise we will have conflicts between local and global sysops — NickK 20:38, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    (e/c)Actually, you are mistaken. Global sysop are aslo only to act in emergency situations. They are not there to resolve contenct disputes or to take non-urgent action. Tiptoety talk 20:49, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Global sysops don't act like regular sysops; they only intervene to deal with vandalism or extremely uncontroversial maintenance. Anything else would be left to the local community. –Juliancolton | Talk 20:40, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    "uncontroversial" is not "emergency", which is the definition that stewards currently use. Unless the global sysops can read the local policies, they can't know what is controversial and what isn't. Often the policies are not yet written down - they live in the minds of the contributors who are building the project. The definition of "vandal" differs per project. Blocking "vandals" is editorial control except in the case of cross-wiki vandals. Do you know that we occasionally write poems to our vandals over on English Wikisource, instead of blocking them? John Vandenberg 12:50, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, that's not true. Stewards are permitted to take action in a far wider variety of circumstances than this proposed user group would be. The whole point is to restrict that for these users. The vandals this aims to deal with are unmistakably vandals. I don't know how to make this clearer.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 15:33, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Of course, you are right. Stewards are allowed to go to projects which have forty (40!) oversighters, and oversight a revision at w:WP:ANI because they didn't care to understand the term that they had been told was a bad. And then forty-five minutes later the same steward oversighted another 33 revisions resulting in further confusion among the oversight team. You can read more about it here and there.
    If you wanted to make it clear that global sysops are only permitted to fight vandalism, the proposal would mention specify vandalism. It doesn't currently mention "vandal". It says "urgent cases of abuse" and more worryingly "non-controversial maintenance".
    Fighting vandalism does not require these global sysops to be given ipblock-exempt, proxyunbannable, globalblock-exempt, globalblock-whitelist, globalblock, globalunblock, browsearchive (i.e. w:Wikipedia:poor mans oversight), deletedhistory, undelete, editusercssjs, editinterface, autopatrol!!, import, patrol, reupload, unwatchedpages, etc, etc. John Vandenberg 05:11, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I Support Support this statement. My actualy vote is below. --Buntfalke 08:53, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually John Vandenberg explained what I was talking about. I considered global sysops as normal sysops after having a look at the set of their rights. I understand why they have to be able to revert or delete pages, to supress redirects, to block users etc. I can understand why they can edit interface, assuming we want to see a global sysop as an advanced "global rollbacker + editinterface". That would be a good idea. But rights... global blocks, marking edits as bot edits, patrolling (not autopatrolling), import rights — is that really needed for uncontroversial mainentance? The new intro at Global sysops makes it clearer that global sysops will use those rights only in emergency situations, like vandalism or spam, but what is the meaning of that uncontroversial mainentance? Stewards page clearly mentions dealing with emergencies, and intervening against crosswiki vandalism, aand that's fine. However, are speedy deletions an example of uncontroversial mainentance? There are situations like Requests for comment/Mass deletion request on Haitian Wikipedia: a project has one sysop, who is active enough, and no deletion policy, so will global sysops delete pages like that, or will they make community decide? In my opinion, this system would work only in case global sysops act when there is clear vandalism or spam or when local community needs help with some speedy deletions or something like that and all local sysops are away. The phrase uncontroversial mainentance, unfortunately, is not that clear — NickK 12:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    The situation on htwiki is obviously one that is not "uncontroversial".  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 19:13, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    You're missing NickK's point. (I think the word "will" in his statement was misleading; "can" would have been clearer.) Of course it's obviously not uncontroversial - but only after you read the explanation! Without knowing the background, such deletions can easily appear "uncontroversial" to an outsider, and a a global sysop who speedily deleted such pages would be completely in accordance with policy. SebastianHelm 21:39, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm responding here because this seems to be the most recent comment about it but I can put it below if thats better. I noticed that you were talking about marking edits as "bot edits" by which I assume you mean the markbotedits rights. That is actually a part of normal local admin tools and is also a tool that is part of the global rollback global group as well. It doesn't actually allow you to mark your own edits as bot edits on whim what it allows you to do is to rollback vandalism edits marking both the rollback AND (retroactively) the vandalism edit as a bot edit. This is a little known but very powerful ability that is actually given to all local sysops as far as I know and can be invaluable during an attack on a small wiki where the recent changes can be totally flooded by a spammer alone let alone the rollbacks, this would allow us to hide the attack so as not to give the abuser the recognition the often seek. You can see an explanation of how it's done at mw:Manual:Administrators#Rollback, I generally use a great script by pathoschild that makes it easier. I'll be happy to explain and/or show it to you off the page as well. Global Blocking is obviously controversial and while I think its benefit outweighs the risk I understand the concern. If I remember correctly Import was left on the list because a couple stewards commented that it would be good for them to have it to help them set up new wikis (this was on the old discussion page I can find it if you want.

    Sorry, it is simply not true that all projects have administrators. Furthermore, many projects with administrators are still unable to deal effectively with abuse of the wiki. The proposed user group would provide additional manpower to assist stewards, who are currently unable to deal with the volume.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 19:32, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe it will be better to elect more stewards instead of global sysops. What I see is language problem. For example, in my case, if I am elected as a global sysop, I can only contribute in English wiki, Simple Wiki, Spanish Wiki and Ladino wiki, but, what happens with the other wikis? I do not speak all languages. That is what I see. Regards Rrm·Sjp Enwiki Dewiki SimpleWiki 02:36, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Sorry, that is not even a requirement for stewards. That's because the requirement makes little sense.

  4. Oppose Oppose The way this is proposed it's lacking lots of clarity. First only experienced wikipedians know what a sysop is: why not explain it that it's an admin? Second, why not define clearly what is local and what is global. Third, why not present a table with the situation now and situation in the future? Voting is required for everyone with more than 150 edits. That's not a lot, so voting is being required from lots of people that don't know well wikipedia. Fourth: It's not explained what quorum is required for the voting so that the proposal passes. For all these reasons, I reject the proposal. I tend to vote "NO" any time I don't know what I'm voting for and the proposal is not clear enough. Call me stupid, I call myself conservative.--Sulmues 14:30, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Oppose - 10 sysops is too high, and that criteria should be abandoned. The criteria to base it on admins actions in the last few months is also odd; global sysops should only step in if there are no willing local sysops. Stewards do not replace local crats unless the local crats are ignoring requests. If there are no requests within a few months, they are not failing to do their duty. It should be opt-in by local consensus, with the stewards able to add a project to the list if they feel that the local admins are belligerently refusing to opt-in while also not properly administrating their project.
Globalblock should remain only with stewards.

    The requirement of recent activity was included because we often see people with admin tools disappear. When the tools aren't being used for the benefit of the community, they might as well not be assigned to anyone. So, in those cases, it would make sense to allow global sysops to fill the void - at least for the specific tasks they would perform. The requirements for being elected will be at least as stringent as what you suggest. I'd be interested to hear the reasoning behind the rest of your comments - these were questions raised early on, and the folks participating during the many iterations of this proposal came to a different conclusion than you.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 19:32, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Oppose. I think that local administrators can effectively work with technical questions because they know their own Wikipedias and its features and have enough language skills to contact with users using their native language (or, at least, well-known language). Also the possibility of global blocking can produce some conflicts, in my opinion. Also I agree with Vituzzu - it's a way to demotivate local communities to find out new local sysops.

    Well, but in this case a global sysop must be very advanced Wikipedian. I know, that our international community can find so experienced men. But I think that global sysop should work only with Wikipedias in well-known languages. For ex., how will this man able to correct vandalism and delete articles in foreign language? Or global sysop will leave this work for local colleagues? If the job of global sysop will be only technical, I can agree that it's a potentially useful idea, but this work is only for very responsible people. LexArt 16:27, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Oppose Not against such a proposal in general, but against this proposal as it stands. Who watches the watchers, from what community will these sysops be recruited? probably the most active ones such as en:wiki,in which case there's a strong possibility that a small community will be overwhelmed and pushed into doing things the way a global sysop is used to, from his home community, which may be at odds with the local culture. If admins are the local sheriffs, then a global sysops would be Federal Marshals, and I would prefer to have a marshal who has been around a bit before they get given their badges, someone who has reasonable language skills in multiple languages, has already independently achieved admin status on three or four different communities and has had a history of substantive contributions and interactions with local communities pan-wiki. As there are not likely to be that many candidates who meet my criteria for a global sysop, rather then vesting the power in an individual how about vesting the power in a body, teams of say seven or so. Whatever the system we finally adopt to be acceptable I would need to see in place in place a system of checks and balances (i.e. appeal, repeal, and oversight procedures) before being able to support such a proposal.KTo288 16:07, 7 January 2010 (UTC) Info Info Voter decided to withdraw vote (see here) - KTo288 checked by (RT) 18:33, 9 February 2010 (UTC).

  1. The proposal suggests that candidates would have extensive cross-wiki experience. They'd almost certainly be global rollbackers already. There is essentially no danger of electing people without sufficient experience for the work. Please note also that there is a strong section on removal of access.

    Striking my vote out on principle, but letting my comment stand. I think this proposal would have been better served if we had been introduced to this proposal first, before being asked to vote, to get our questions and miscomprhensions out of the way before the vote was launched, you guys have spent months working on this and know its ins and out, you can't expect those of us who first learnt of it this morning when the banner went up to have the same understanding. I only voted because of the banner, and to be honest I voted out of gut instinct against what I saw as an attempt by meta users to grab power for themselves at the expense of local communities. It was only when questioned about my vote that I dug into the previous global sysop proposals, the talk page and why exactly this proposal is needed. I can't say that I now totally understand the issue just that I now better understand it and that is why I'm striking out my vote. I am not a regular editor of the smaller wikis, and will probably never be personally affected by this proposal and as I am not a regular contributor to those wikis, do not think I should vote on this, indeed I think that this vote should have been restricted to the regulars of the affected wikis rather than the community at large. If I was a contributor at a small wiki I would resent having things decided for me by a mob of outsiders who have never edited at my wiki and never will, and therefore remove myself from that mob. You claim that there is a strong section on removal of powers, but what constitutes abuse how high or low is the bar of proof, if a sysop is so lacking in finesse that abuse is seen even if none exists should he go? and what is a substantial minority, I guess you have in your mind what you mean by each of those terms. Would seven editors constitute a significant minority? would three? Of course these thing are variable with the needs of each situation and wiki, but even so if I was a small wiki editor I would want it in black and white and to know exactly how it would affect me before I sign up for it. Much of this proposal deals with tools and powers, what a future global sysops will be able to do and how. But with power there must come responsibility and a code of conduct along the lines of Stewards policy would not have gone amiss.KTo288 23:10, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Actually, stewards cannot currently keep up with the volume. I think we need some help. There are active projects with no sysops, I'm not sure it makes sense to simply shut down projects because they cannot find someone who wants to be an admin. Furthermore, even when a wiki does have an admin, or several, it is still often the case that they cannot deal effectively with disruption 24/7. Finally, we made an effort to be very inclusive with this vote, and it will be advertised even more widely as the vote progresses.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 19:32, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The small, obscure wikis this would target would likely not have awareness of global sysops or their ability to opt out until strangers come blocking and deleting without respect for their local conventions and policies. The attitude that knowledge of the wiki's language is unnecessary to properly sysop strikes me as a bit arrogant. If this were opt-in, I'd be all for it. Until then, help for understaffed wikis should come in the form of recruiting qualified speakers of the wiki's language. -kotra 00:01, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  2. Oppose Oppose While the idea seems to be not an unreasonable approach to a problem, I oppose it for the following reasons. More user classes add complexity and confuse newcomers and even regular users. In addition to these relatively minor negatives, I see no particular need for this change at present: I see no reason why stewards can't simply be recruited if that is what is desired. If they can't be recruited, then why give their powers to others who don't meet the requirements to be a steward? If a project can't self-manage, their are already concerns, and giving users the ability to affect powerful change in these by-definition under-policed projects seems concerning. Not that the proposed privileged users would be tyrannical per se, but if a project can't manage its own vandals, I'm not optimistic they can handle a hypothetical abusive privileged user. The recourse I see would be concern from the larger community across projects, but given the most-effected userbase is unable to deal with the privileged user/vandals well (due to them needing this proposal in the first place), I don't see how this recourse is at all sufficient in this hypothetical. If the requirements or nature of stewards or steward-like users needs adjustment (which may well be the case), then such should be dealt with more directly than by a proposal such as this. I'm open to reconsideration, but oppose at present.--Δζ 08:01, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  2. Oppose Oppose I have two concerns for this proposal. First of all, I would like to see a more formal examination of how global sysops would be chosen, and what the standards will be for who is eligible to request access. Without that information, I am not comfortable supporting any proposal. Secondly, I am concerned with the idea of allowing anyone who is unfamiliar with a project, and most especially unfamiliar with the project's language, to take some of these actions. What may appear to be gibberish in one language may be actual good content in another (I for one find that some languages have far too few vowels for me to recognize when someting is a word). What may appear to be English words dropped in randomly to a page may actually be cases where those words have been borrowed by another language because there is no equivalent. Furthermore, small wikis are much tighter communities than larger wikis. There may be unwritten rules, norms, or injokes that would be unknown to those from other wikis (a wonderful recent example of this on the English wikipedia is the Randy from Boise oversight incident in late 2009).

    Oppose Oppose If you've ever seen the edit wars over single letters ([13]) [14][15]), you'll know the difficulty you can get simply by having two users from different regions and/or countries with common languages. Add to this the fact that you'll now have people not only from different countries, but from countries with different languages with administration permissions. Translating programs on the internet are not always accurate, and even when they are they tend to give garbled grammar, and if someone were to find something that didn't translate as intended, there could be a large amount of problems. Keep in mind that even the highest positions on Wikipedia already get into edit wars; having to deal with cultural and lingual differences between countries would not help much.

    I work in articles where conflicting editors from profoundly different cultures, speaking different languages and working in a language not native to any, still manage to produce (sometimes painfully), improved articles. It presents challenges. The people and peoples of the world have been addressing those for years, and more now than ever. WP itself is clearly a product of success in such efforts.

    Oppose Boo So, I am to understand that we are voting on whether or not to create transient inter-wiki janitorial staffers to act as harbingers of beaurocro-blandness through the smaller projects by a majority vote of all projects? Folks who would be able to instantly affect content in communities of which they are not members and further push other wikis away from communal and democratic concepts that helped add over 3 million articles in under ten years. For this to ever be even remotely viable as a solution, individual projects should have the option of preventing the incursion of these sysops-at-large. My position my not be articulated as best as possible, but I'm sure the same folks dissecting the rest of the opposition's reasoning will address that soon enough.

You want to see a dead site taken over by spammers, go to craigslist. Wikipedia AFAICT looks pretty damn good. The main problem is not spammers, it is bad writing (including massive plagiarism), bad research (IE, Heydrich's page used to have almost no reference to the holocaust, i'm sure there are other pages like that out there), poor coverage of important topics (business history), some pages that are messy disasters (the CIA), and a confusing citation system. Where is the massive attack from spammers? Im not saying it's not happening... but please, show me some evidence before you go giving some new cabal of bureaucrats a bunch more power. ......2.......

Oppose Oppose It seems to me virtually impossible to take the right decisions when it comes to vandalism if you don't speak the project's language. The rest of the right of this class of users seem to me simmilar to sysops. Furthermore, the first condition of wiki inclusion (less then 10 administrators) is useless - most wikis with less than 10 administrators don't need any more than they already have. Instead, I think a personalized recruitment policy should be put in place for stewards. By that, I mean that current stewards should choose users they trust and ask them to step up and become stewards. --Strainu 23:27, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Oppose - I think it's an abysmal idea. Each one of all Wiki-lang-versions has its own local rules, and own local team of volunteers. It should be untouched in my humble opinion. I'm sure, that problem may really exist, but that way of solve is unacceptable for me. I suggest to create a web service just for local teams to report abusers. That kind of solve may be helpful to work jointly with another teams against abusers. I can understand a Wiki-teams with small communities. But nice idea to deal with vandalisms locally are approved versions and editor privileges. It works successfully within polish Wikipedia. -- Michalgarbowski 20:53, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not as "opt-out"; imposing (as is currently proposed) a minimum vote count for opt-out shows no respect for minorities. (Like user:Seb az86556, I don't have any problem with the global blocks, but with the unfairness of people voting on something that doesn't affect them. While, theoretically, Nil Einne's reply is correct, it is wrong in practice: For most of the voters, it is extremely unlikely that they ever would be affected by the vote.)

  2. Oppose Oppose Doesn't make any sense to me. I, for example, wouldn't recognize vandalism in Russian or Tagalog if it bit me in the butt. Who would other than speakers of those languages? If a project is so small that it doesn't have enough admins then it needs to promote more regular editors to adminship and/or seek admins from other projects, who actually at least marginally understand the language in question. If it can't successfully do any of this, maybe it isn't a viable project to begin with. This proposal puts too much authority into too few hands, and too many questions and proposed modifications have been raised. If this idea is, underneath, actually a good one, this needs to be demonstrated more clearly. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 01:18, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For all the assurances that banning/blocking authority would only be used "rarely" in cases of "extreme abuse" we know that just ain't so- admins already are way too eager to ban and block for nakedly political or personal reasons. We've only just emerged from a period wherein a certain (former) admin madly locked, blocked and banned in over 5000 articles just to ensure that nothing which contradicted his ideological hobbyhorse ever appeared.

  5. Oppose Oppose I would only support if the powers of global admins were explicitly limited to fighting global vandalism (easy to detect, as it will, by definition, be in an inappropriate language), and helping to set up new wikis (actually, that sounds more like a job for a global bureaucrat, or at least a separate office; maybe a global interface editor?). I'm sure local admins can handle local vandalism, local deletions, local interface improvements, etc. Ben Standeven 04:07, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  6. Oppose Oppose First of all, uncontroversial maintenance would be the main task of a local sysop; the controversial stuff is a minor part of the job, I expect, particularly on a small project. I therefore agree with John Vandenberg's assertion that it would be better to leave this type of maintenance to local sysops who are growing a project rather than having them leave it all to global sysops. I also think giving these global sysops the ability to institute global blocks is a decidedly bad idea. And lastly, global sysops may not be able to understand the local language and therefore the local policies. There are shades of imperialism in this proposal.

    Just to confirm, overruling a global block is indeed a power of local sysops at all WMF wikis. I'd also say that if it ever gets to the point that they are "fighting" for whether a user is banned or not the Global Sysop most definitely should be going through a review.

  33. Oppose Oppose This is a power grab. If there are not enough stewards, then we need to get more stewards. This proposal grants near-steward powers to those who would not, or could not qualify as stewards. Stewards have to meet a high-bar set of qualifications because these same powerful tools are entrusted to them. Under this proposal, a person who can't pass the 'trustworthy' test will still get the Power Tools through this back door. There is a reason why these powerful tools are only entrusted to those persons who can demonstrate a high level of trustworthiness, fairness, and honesty. But this proposal would grant (through this newly created back door) those same powerful tools to lesser beings. (break) Without doing any research. I can already tell (but can't prove) that this proposal is driven by persons who are tired of being 'reverted' on their 'Small Wiki Project'. This will be their 'trump card' to block legitimate users who have contributed legitimate content that conflicts with the content the 'Newly Minted Global Sysop' had previously put on the page. If the proposers had included language that 'Global Sysops' would be prohibited from using their power on ANY page that they are 'currently' editing on, and prohibited from using their powers against ANY user who reverted their (the GS's) recent edits, then we could consider whether this is really meant to fight 'Cross-Wiki-Vandalism'. (break) Oh, and to Mike and Nuke and similar ilk, don't 'sub-comment' here. This is a vote page, not a 'damage control' page. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about my vote or comment, it goes on the Discussion Page, or in the 'Comments' section at the bottom of this page... not here.

  36. Oppose Oppose - I have read the arguments about the problems that supposedly stewards are facing in terms of crushing overload of work they should be working on. I've strongly considered in the past to become involved as a steward, and I think I could meet the standards required to get that sort of status.... provided that I cared. If there aren't enough stewards, get the word out and seriously try to start recruiting stewards that could meet this challenge. I am very certain that there is an element of the community who could meet just about any standard of trustworthiness that you could throw at them that would qualify as stewards but haven't bothered to be involved yet. No, I don't think that such a significant effort has been made, even if "calls for stewards" have happened in the past. This proposal seems to be creating a new class of users, of which I see that the standards are being lowered compared to stewards but are given nearly the same authority. I only see glory hounds and a small handful of legitimate users that really should be considered for stewardship anyway, but will be kept from the "inner circle" of stewards because of increasing stratification of the Wikimedia community. Too much of that exists anyway, from my perspective. --Roberth 08:52, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Requests for Explanations

List specific details you are concerned about here. Do not discuss in this section.


Why are these rights needed?

Rights which seem unneeded for fighting vandalism:

  • Bypassing IP blocks, auto-blocks and range blocks (ipblock-exempt) is needed because <develop explanation here>
  • Bypassing automatic blocks of proxies (proxyunbannable) is needed because <develop explanation here>
  • Bypassing global blocks (globalblock-exempt) is needed because <develop explanation here>
  • globalblock-whitelist is needed because <develop explanation here>
  • globalblock is needed to fight malicious bots and extrem vandals from wandering about all wikis.
  • globalunblock is needed to undo globalblock once it was used.
  • browsearchive is another local sysop right that goes with delete/undelete. It is used to assist with searching deleted contributions, which is mostly needed to see the vandalism history of pages and users or to undelete something mistakenly deleted.
  • deletedhistory same as above, local sysop right that goes with delete/undelete
  • editusercssjs is needed because (rarely) user CSSs/JSs can be used as parts of attacks or as the attacks themselves. If you post something in your CSS/JS it will show up on RC (FIXME: What's RC?)Special:RecentChanges et cetera. Vandals could edit other peoples CSS/JS because <further explaination needed>.
  • editinterface is less useful for global sysops but could be useful to allow them to assist the local community or notify them when needed (the biggest thing I can think of is putting up a site notice in the, hopefully rare, chance that someone put the wiki up for closure so that they know what is happening).
  • import was left in because stewards noted that it would be useful to have Global sysops be able to help them set up new wikis (where this is used )
  • patrol is not needed because either the language is known to the global sysops and he will be able to what is abusive and is not to be marked as patroled, or the language is not known to the global sys op, and he will not be able to detect proper usage - again, not to be marked as patroled. (Is the following abusive or not? éí ayóo daniłchxon dóó beʼazdzą́ą́ éí kiyąąh sizíní.)
  • autopatrol' is needed since there is no need for sysops to patrol edits of global sysops which will center around anti-vandal work.
  • reupload to help combat file upload vandalism/abuse, the right allows you to overwrite a file (for example with the previous/good version)
  • unwatchedpages is a local sysop tool generally used to see pages that are more at risk for vandalism because no one is watching them. Less useful for global sysops but serves almost no harm.


Aspects not specified by the Global sysop proposal:

  • fighting vandalism is not stated as the goal, yet said to be it. Since spam, malbots and many similar issues need to be addressed, all of these are encompassed in "urgent cases of abuse.
  • opt-out is mentioned without describing the procedure for opt-out. By now, there is the proposal to amend the wording of what has been suggested to be decided about. See below!
  • No procedure for recourse/complaints in case of dispute between local and global sysops is given. There is such an informal procedure outlined in the Communication section of the proposal.
  • Criterion unclear for "removal due to inactivity". "Global sysops will automatically lose their access if it is unused for more than six months" - what is an access? Log-in? Edit? Use of sysop tools? Use of sysop tools granted specifically by the global sysop position? See below.

General Improvement Requests:

  • The chapter about the 'idea' (headline wording of german description) only lists cases for small and very small wiki sub projects as candidates auto inclusion. Thats just the minority of affected wikis. it should be clearly stated in teh beginning that the big amount of remainders need to vote in order to join this method.
  • in the whole text and especially in the introduction the main scopes of works for that sysop class are not mentioned at all. That far as i understood, its vandalism, spam, illegal activity and similar that is applied across several databases and services that can be easier cleaned up when done by a more priviliged person or group than by dozends of individual project sysops.
  • it should be put more emphasize on cleaning up the impression such a sysop class should care for "local" vandalism or "local" article disputes. that should only be the case when for some obvious reasons local sysops were not in state (e.g. natural catastrophe, time shift, etc.) to handle it on their own. such back up activity should be only up to a degree that it fixes the obvious problem e.g. avoid severe damage from the wikipedia system and its reputation, and stopping generally as abusive understood interfacing like edit wars. notifying the local sysops for carrying out final actions should take place manually if not the measure or situation already should have done that.
  • activities of global sysops should be tracked for their own self control (detecting black sheep in their rows) and in a way that allows to fiddle out the most endangered project so that areas for long term improvements can be identified and probable unseen gaps in the local sysop area get unveiled. long term measures might be, closing rarely used parts to read-only or even fully, call for more local sysops in certain areas, call for more global participation of other qualified local sysops in certain areas, general approval of global sysops for deeper works in tiny project parts, and what else might help problematic situations.

Nota Bene: This section is to simplify the discussion below by eliminating or stressing common concern, if or if not a good explaination can be developed. It is an attempt to answer Frequently Asked Questions as well as questions left unanswered in the regular discussion, an attempt to enable everyone to jump-start into this discussion, to compile serveral explainations and answers for questions into a common argument, for everybody to benefit. Trolls, stop deleting this section - thanks.

  • Global spammers can easilly be defeated by setting a minimum number of good contributions before an account can be globalized. For example enforce that the parent account should be autoconfirmed before globalization. Note that this solution is pretty old, but still hasn't been implemented. In my opinion it should be implemented as it is far petter than the current proposal. Note also that autoconfirmed should be checked as it has a few bugs if I'm not in error… — Jeblad 17:18, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Spammers of any kind easily make up whatever entry is necessary. Unless, of course, "good" is understood as "each edit reviewed, signed and sworn by a trusted human" but there's not enough humans to write articles. I'd be more concerned with the threat of hatemongering sysops chasing their dead horses all over sister projects and the wheelwarring with native sysops that might follow in response. NVO 11:22, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Birdy: You are absolutely correct that we need more stewards. However, the current situation is, we don't have enough. IMHO, the attrition rate among steward is too high to justify holding elections only once every year. Unless that is changed, I am sure the situation will always be what it is now, namely long wait times, backlogs, etc. This proposal would at least let those stewards who are still around focus on issues that require a very, very high level of trust, instead of wasting time dealing with petty vandals. J.delanoygabsadds 22:13, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Well said. Having users who can help deal with a subset of steward tasks means our currently-active stewards are able to focus on the steward-only tasks more. However, I think we need to examine seriously how active our current complement of stewards is, and elect more as soon as possible. We're supposed to have a steward election soon, but I haven't seen any preparations :( Removing inactive stewards and adding (many) new ones should be a high priority when those elections + confirmations happen.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 02:28, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    All this effort into this global sysops could have been spent on setting up a steward election.
    I started the steward election pages last year, and will do it again if nobody else beats me to it. It only takes a few hours to create the pages. The hard part is advertising it so that suitable candidates hear about it and put their name down. John Vandenberg 23:24, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    user:Jamesofur has already started setting it up at Stewards/elections 2010. --John Vandenberg 23:47, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tjako, err, that comment seems to contradict your vote. By opposing, you apparently assert that the small group of stewards are able to handle the workload, yet you suggest it's better to spread out responsibility among more users, which this proposal intends to do if implemented. –Juliancolton | Talk 06:11, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • obviously everyone is free to have their own opinion but I don't understand robsters oppose and those who agreed with him. The point of the position isn't for normal admin duties, most small wikis do in fact have 1 or 2 admins who are at semi active even if it is just temp sysop because not enough people are there to elect them. The big reason for the proposal is for anti-vandalism purposes. Not all wikis need help, there are plenty of small wikis I have never touched as a global rollbacker because they never really have issues. However xwiki vandalism can end up being very disruptive from 100s of edits on one wiki to edits spread over huge numbers of wikis. My very first day on swmt I had to undo more then 120 edits from. A vandal bot on a small wiktionary project over about 20 minutes before we could find a steward to block. Of course the next morning the active users, admins and their 1 crat realized what had happened but their was nothing for them to have to do to clean up (other then they extended the block). Just because a wiki does not have 24/7 coverage does not mean it is not viable, however it does sometimes mean they will need help and the stewards have a lot more to handle. I understand the global block issue some people have, personally I think it is necessary for the big xwiki attackers though I do think they should be limited to very short duration blocks and the stewards can extend them if necessary. I'm not sure how technically feasable that is but any global sysops would be working closely with (and under ) the stewards anyway. James (T|C) 20:18, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think we can place a technical restriction, however I think that, as a social matter, some level of deference to stewards makes sense, particularly in the beginning.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 02:25, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are small wikis with few sysops available in daytime while no or few steward understand the language used there (for exanple, such as ja.wikisource or ja.wikiquote). Once in a while vandals would come to such wikis and disrupt articles - if you (not a sysop in those wikis) find such vandals, all you can do now is to request stewards to come and block vandals in wikis where that steward understand not a word. Yes, global sysops would be very helpful in such wikis where no or few steward understand their languages.--miya 06:02, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The one thing that I see will to be addressed and cause traffic is the requests for review of globalblocks imposed by global sysops. One would hope that this is where the stewards can undertake the oversigh and be able to manage these cases simply, sweetly and without the bureaucracy of an ArbCom. billinghurst 03:26, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I noticed that quite a few of the opposers dislike the idea of global sysops having access to global block. While I disagree with them, it is obviously a contentious issue that hadn't really been raised in the preliminary stages. Perhaps we could drop it from the proposal by now and have a discussion on the talk page afterwards about adding the right? I'm not sure if it would lead to more confusion that it is worth for now, but if we do decide to do it, we should probably do it soon. NW (Talk) 03:36, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • ResMar: The whole idea is that there aren't enough stewards to effectively deal with vandalism, so they need global sysops as minions. Also, your comment about people making decisions on unfamiliar projects also applies to stewards; surely they don't know 200+ languages? –Juliancolton | Talk 04:35, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could somebody please explain why this is being advertised on Wikipedia? The rules clearly state that this is intended for established Meta users only, not users of Wikipedia or other Wikimedia-related projects. Given this is a select few out of the hundreds of thousands of active users on all Wikimedia-related projects, I don't quite get why it needs to be advertised in an area where it is considerably irrelevant, due to so few people being eligible for voting. Brokenwit 05:08, 7 January 2010 (UTC) Apologies, didn't read the rules clearly enough to figure I answered my own question. That said, how can each vote be determined to represent an actual user on a specific Wikimedia-related project? As far as I can tell, any person who can access this page and open up a Meta account could theoretically vote on this matter, making fraud a distinct possibility.

  • Well for starters, because of Help:Unified login you can't create an account with the same name as someone who already has an account on anoter wikimedia project. Some may already have such an account from before unified login, but I guess the moderators are going to make sure each meta account is unified with an active account, e.g. as mine is. For those few that aren't, I guess the moderators may ask the main account for confirmation it's them Nil Einne 07:58, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Proposal It seems to me that being a global sysop is somewhat counter-productive, so I have a proposal to make. I would suggest anyone wanting to apply for the global sysop position to be required to have at least 250 edits, spread across two (2) or more projects. Please comment.--Iner22 05:44, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The requirements would be, and are much higher than that. Tiptoety talk 05:47, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are you getting confused by the 150 minimum edit requirement vote in this election? In any case, as Tiptoety said, the minimum would almost definitely be higher because unless I'm mistaken, technically there is no minimum currently defined but the chance of an editor with only 250 edits in two project being elected is close to zero. Indeed I suspect the stewards may automatically reject such person even before there's been any discussion. Nil Einne 08:41, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Because it seems much of the opposition fundamentally misunderstands the proposal, so it'd be unfair to let it fail to due a series of inaccurate assessments. –Juliancolton | Talk 21:14, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I would add that those who support the proposal misunderstand it but that's just my opinion. Let other people express their opinion. I'm sick of all this wiki-pressure from people who seem to think that they know best and go out of their way to crush anyone who expresses a different viewpoint. How is a global sysop supposed to know what's vandalism and what's not? People talk about there being a "need" for this (Mike.lifeguard, in some of the above comments) but if that's the case SHOW us the need. People say that it's offensive to say that so much 'power' could be bad but why's that a bad thing to say? Too many administrators spoil the wiki and over the past year or so that saying (invented by myself) has proven itself to be partly true.--Xania 21:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Any support implicitly accepts the reasoning given in the proposal, so additional explication is unnecessary. Where opposers have left comments which make their misunderstanding evident, I think it is imcumbent upon us to ask them to clarify their opinion or change it, lest it be invalid. There's a reason we try not to vote.
    As to showing you evidence: I'd be happy to, but what sort of evidence do you want? Shall I make a list of instances where small wikis were unable to fend of vandals effectively because all their sysops were asleep and no stewards happened to be around?  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 23:15, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Mike.Lifeguard your fervent defense of this bad idea suggests that you might be the kind of person who WANTS the job, the POWER that is so much of the interference to information and the spread of knowledge on WP. The better thing to do, to maintain better stewardship of the information here (read: protection from vandalism) could come from education. Instead of WP turning into more obscure languages and secret codings, make this system less unintelligible. Teach people who care, masses of people who care, how to watch the information they post. The ultimate success of the WP project will come through consensus battles, not through leadership by one individual or group of all powerful individuals. In the subject that I edit, I know there are several watchful eyes viewing my every word, sometimes they correctly reword things. Our areas get vandalized constantly, but enough people are watching. If more people knew how to watch, and how to solve an issue, we'd have less of a problem. And no need for a corruptible superhero to save us.Trackinfo 00:03, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not saying anything about what else he is saying I did want to point out that Mike isn't really wouldn't be in the running for the position at least at the moment since he is already a steward
I think this will be treated just like electing sysops etc, if the community is able to elect a sysop (so they got 4-5 votes usually to do that) then they are fully able to decide if they want to opt out (or in). If there is only one person who edits and he wants to control the whole thing then it may be more difficult but that has been very rare in my experience. James (T|C) 00:04, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • We’re so little that we can’t even get permanent sysops (even though we have willing and able volunteers) and usually we can’t field more than two or occasionally three votes.

    Faulty reasoning?? There is a large volume of faulty reasoning in the support column as well, votes without any rationale, and votes from big wiki people who have never set a foot on a small wiki. I respect your faulty reasoning; please respect mine. John Vandenberg 07:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that we shouldn't have an extreme amount discussion hence why I'm purposely not viewing either section to avoid getting drawn into further discussion. However I think some discussion is fine. So if you find any faulty reasoning in the support column, then I would encourage you to question it. Hopefully, it will encourage those people to think about their reasoning and others who may support them to think carefully about whether the reason they are making their decision is sound. In votes such as this, it's easily possible that people may be confused, not have thought of something or just be unaware and worse, an unchallenged but incorrect claim may result in people voting in a way they wouldn't have were it noft for that claim. For example, in this section (not sure about the votes) I see some people who seem to think the 150 edits is the threshold for people to be global sysops which is clearly not the case, and hopefully we can all agree we should help inform people who are confused by the requirement for 150 edits to vote as meaning people with 150 edits are likely to be global sysops. Obviously you should not harass or intimidate people until they give in or are scared of voting, and people are free to ignore the responses. And clearly, people shouldn't challenge those who don't express an opinion since there's nothing to challenge and this is a vote, nor challenge someone because they are from a big wiki (who appear to be on both sides, which isn't surprising since the small wikis by definition don't have many people so unfortunately are only ever likely to be a small part of the vote). But I haven't seen any of these queried or challenged. People have queried those who have voted against the proposal because they feel they feel this is being directed by the big wikis, which is of course a different thing and I would say you're welcome to do the same for those who support the proposal because the opposers are coming from the big wikis and especially those who support because the opposers are coming from the small wikis. Ultimately the responses will in no way themselves contribute to the outcome, other then if people upon reading the responses changed their mind. I would point out that in the 2008 en.wikipedia arbcom election, I had faulty reasoning in voting against you, and someone pointed it out (on my talk page) which resulted in me deciding to abstain instead. I didn't make this up, and in fact checked my page to make sure I had the right person (I did) so you're welcome to check my page or ask me about it if you want. Reading peoples comments was also part of my decision making process. I doubt this wasn't unique to me and it was one of the reasons some object to removing open voting and is surely the nature of an open and public vote and people choosing to express an opinion of why they are voting. Remember no one is trying to force you to change your vote, or saying you can't vote because you have faulty reasoning. In other words, you're welcome to your faulty reasoning, as am I to mine, but within reason I'm welcome to query your faulty reasoning, as are you of mine. Unfortunately some may be intimitaded by such queries but we can't help that, the better thing would surely have been to make this a private vote if we didn't want people to be able to query votes.

  • Question: Why do people from un-affected wikis get to vote on this? It's easy to vote for apartheid if you're not black (comparison might be harsh, but you get the point) I would support this proposal if it said "wikis without any active local sysops". Seb az86556 03:14, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Technically there's no such thing as an unaffected wiki, since all wikis can choose to opt in (the same as any wiki can chose to opt out). It is rather unlikely that a number of wikis, such as en.wikipedia, whos contributors I expect make up the vast majority of voters would be affected (*) although some of them may one day choose to participate in other project and could even be more if for example the wiki become better off thanks to global sysops. However there's clearly no simple way to differentiate between those who will be affected and those who won't unless we require all wikis now to decide now which would be a bit silly. (*)Also as some of the opposers have pointed out, as global sysops have access to the global blocklist technically all wikis are affected even if they optout. Nil Einne 08:23, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unlike most others who oppose this, I do not have any problems with global blocks. Let them have the global-block hammer - there is already a stringent policy describing under exactly what circumstances a GB is warranted. I have a huge issue with people messing with content (deletions, etc...). Where exactly would be the place for recourse or complaints without having to engage in wheel-warring between global and local sysops? If there is no such place, who do you think will "win" that war? The global sysop, of course. Who do you think is more likely to be admonished or possibly blocked? The local admin, of course. Will local admins be forcefully de-sysopped for restoring deleted pages? Seb az86556 21:58, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The first recourse would surely be to the global sysop since it's quite clear that global sysops have to be contactable by any wikis they take part in. If the response is not satisfactory, then the obvious next step is the stewards or failing that the foundation. If you don't trust either of these to do their job, then you might as well quit now since this proposal doesn't really affect their responsibilities or rights but simply provides a set of people to aide them. Wheel warring is always a bad idea and any sysops particularly global sysops who engage in it without very good reason should be removed. And in fact global sysops could easily be at far greater risk of removal since they have greater responsibility (generally speaking those who have greater responsibility also have a far lower threshold for removal) and the entire community has a way to remove them if they desire. I for one think it's quite clear that global sysops should not generally be going against local sysops except when they have a very good reason, and that reason would be one where a steward is likely to take the same action, so again, this proposal isn't changing the status quo in that regard.

  • Here's something from my mind: I'm a staff member of some forum sites, and what I've seen in many of them are that their "owners" (administrators) act like as if they are "deity-like" or "God-like", thus they can impose heavier rules and punishments without the consent of its users or members. Is there any way, if the sysops will kick in, to monitor the administrators' conduct as well because I know that the internet is for everyone to use, but, there are some that use it just to abuse their power, and thus becoming counterproductive to the rest of the virtual community? wishfulanthony 05:06, 8 January, 2010 (UTC)
  • Yes. Important that Wiki projects are protected against diversionary uses. I am a firm inclusionist (i.e. if you LOVE your local park, then it should be allowed to have a page about it, even if it is on 10m square). I beleive the central wiki values (presentation of facts from a neutral POV - even though unacheivable in practice) is a “healthy” goal for a human endeavour and helps to ensure that even our many disagreements are conducted in a “healthy” style. We need distributed sysops as the number and size of projects increases despite the inevitable inconsistencies and biases that this involves. Yes Diggers2004 06:20, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • i voted nay first of all because it is not clear in the proposal context what "problem project" means, in terms of content domain, content size, language or geographic region, dispute issues, etc. which makes the handwaving about trusted users and community consensus deeply murky; can holocaust deniers post nonsense and approve their own sysop to exclude correction? my second concern is that this proposal seems to perpetuate rather than resolve the turmoil by handing "nuke" and other big hammers to certain users simply because they are admired by a content clique; the reach is farther than the grasp. and finally i don't really see how the administrative rigamarole of discussion and approval really vets candidates in specialized "projects" for skill set and character. "trust" is something that you have -- until you don't. at that level, crankweb is a fact, and wikimedia are a magnification system for the fact. in fact, i am wary of wikimedia precisely because it does not, as a collective, aggressively highlight and forewarn about that fact, under the cheery slogan "we're all making it better." as for "projects" too small to be adequately supervised, that states the problem clearly: they're too small. at minimum, perhaps projects should be proposed and voted, or by quota queued into existence at a manageable rate, rather than left to free spawn exponentially as more work for the overworked and more nutrients for crankweb parasites. (i'm also puzzled by projects that are claimed to be too small yet also assumed to be large enough to propose, approve and even "desysop" among themselves.) perhaps projects too frequently or radically edited (by kilobyte change) can be automatically reverted by server software to the last editor approved version, until the understaffed stewards and editors can get around to reviewing and fixing them to their best judgment.
Voting criteria are too low as some comments of Yes user "Why not let's try"???, obviously it is very new user who are voting and deciding to giving global power and affect all not largest Wikipedias, and create not needed duplicating of rights, and possible conflicts between specific Wikipedia community and global sysops. Why we need this? Voting should be restarted with higher criteria, example user made 5000 edits or have admin rights to avoid newbie voting as this should be decided by much more experienced users. --Atlantas 19:55, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
One problem with such a voting restriction would be that it would prevent many from smaller projects participating. EN, ES and PL Wikipedia users may have thousands of edits but it's unlikely that many on GV wikipedia for example (Manx Gaelic) would have this kind of number and they're the very people who are most affected by such a proposal. But it would be nice if those voting in favour of the proposal would say something about their decision.--Xania 21:05, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just to agree with what Xania said. This was basically on purpose, there were (and are) actually people who thought it should be less then what it is. Making high requirements would totally shut out the wikis where this is the most important and would guarantee the only people with power in the discussion are the biggest wikis (just compare the number of enWiki admins to the number of admins anywhere else). James (T|C) 21:23, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If such rights will be implemented I suggest to imagine likely typical situation. A global admin decided to make order in a small Wikipedia. It pops up and conflicts with local ones admins and they not understand global administrator language !?! Also, global one is not aware of small Wikipedia inner rules and could be viewed as be doing negative actions to local users (as foreign), however he acts according hes previous main Wikipedija (for instance English).

You are so naive, will you ask each small Wikipedia: do you want that somebody who do not know language and inner rules of project and you do not trust (as you not elect them) make important decisions in your project? I would vote NO as I would not like this to be implemented in my "local" Wikipedia. It would be logical self defense against intruders. I think every or most of small projects will vote against to avoid intervention from outside if there are any active user ... From large Wikipedia it may look like very nice initiative to block vandals and etc. (as it also do not concerns user of biggest Wikipedia!!!), but in reality it could turn to very nasty for small Wikipedia users. Also about rejection how you image this: 100 elected global admin, but few small Wikipedia users later said oh no he doing wrong in our project? So goes like this 100 against 5 votes and small Wikipedia falls to influence of bigger Wikipedia users ...? Yes, it is pessimistic scenario, but it maybe fatal blow for small Wikipedia as project could loose last active users. --Atlantas 12:43, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They both serve to discredit our efforts with the 'peer review' crowd (who rightly require transparency and accountability) and are a sandbox for bots. My last anti-vandal action (netzpolitik.org wiki) was very painful (I only sysop that one, none of the wikipedia projects) but in the end it was clear. We did NOT impose any qualifications, only required that you register. This only slowed down the attacker, who was determined. In the end we learned: those who are determined we can only block with a lockdown, those who are interested in contributing register. I'm for roadblocking bots and doing away with anon edits altogether.Mwasheim 11:26, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have written new Wikipedia articles, added significantly and insignificantly to others, and have generally provided editing assistance and constructive comments. I assume that there are a great many users like me who like the Wikimedia concept, appreciate those who have developed more expertise, but don't have the time or passion to dive deep into the administrative issues.

  • Long since I already cast my vote in this debate, I have run into one of those abusive administrators with what is now obvious to me, a long history of Administrator abuse. When I come to this vote, there is his user name casting a vote in the affirmative along with a reasonable sounding statement expressing his willingness to "help" as one of these super administrators. These negative characters are exactly what this kind of power will attract. There is no accounting for the damage this kind of bully can do. As I look through his history, most low level wikipedians don't know their recourse, they just bend over and accept this abuse. I'm slightly more experienced and don't know the recourse, yet. But I'm going to learn. How many people will go on a heroic crusade to save articles? How many WON'T? WP, one of the top internet sites, is supposed to be open and free, but look--it is controlled the extreme minority of geeks who can figure out how to achieve administrative power. This proposal will allow the wrong people to consolidate their path of destruction. The clueless masses will not be able to defend themselves. This is a potential disaster.Trackinfo 02:49, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • NO NO NO! This is all wrong. I shouldn't even comment on the proposal itself; the method used to carpetbag it in is poisonous.
If I thought I had anything to say about this, then I would wonder why I didn't hear anything about it until a great big box popped up and demanded my VOTE. Then, of course, I'd be annoyed that anyone had the brass to do so.
But, since I'm primarily an en: editor, with (I believe) no content edits to any project that might be covered under these rules, I don't see that I have anything to say. How many "voters" are similarly disqualified?
Still, now that I think about it, this is a very bad idea. I want to see a much stronger firewall to keep global meddlers out of any place I might support. Our local meddlers are quite bad enough, thank you.
Anyone who even accepts this robe under protest should have it, and all others, stripped from him. Anyone who seeks it should be beaten severely.
My greatest fear is that some amok-timer will take even this comment of mine as some indication that "consensus" is in play here.

  • The proposal seems reasonable and I cannot demonstrate evident flaws in it, but the oppose vote of Brimz deterred me from voting. A sysop making a lot of useful (and acknowledged) job, tends sometimes to undertake controversial steps and to ignore objections; this syndrome in quite common in ru.wiki. There is no grounds to assume that future global sysops will be immune to it. Therefore, fears that small projects may be flooded by the incompetence of a general public and, possible, even crushed by the majority tyranny IMHO have some grounds. The Foundation need some means to stop ignorant and harmful interventions, because this case has some probability and this probability will increase in the course of imminent future mass-production of global sysops.

  • Wow. I can only assume that most of the people above have somehow run afoul of some admins along the way, and now they believe that the admins are all power-hungry and evil. I admit that when I first started out, it seemed like all of my best intentions were running into one policy or a guideline that seemed to only be in place to hamper all my seemingly wonderful contributions. But, I got over myself and discovered that most of the time, the admins were right. And when they weren't, it was usually because (a) they were overworked and under-appreciated, and had jumped to the wrong conclusion (i.e., they acted as humans), (b) because my actions matched those of problem-causers, even though I wasn't being one deliberately, or (c) somebody used an automated process that went wrong. Is that going to happen with Global Sysops? Sure. Like I said, these people are human. But if people recognize that fact and stop looking for conspiracies, power grabs, and so on, and start thanking admins for their efforts--or even better, start helping them out and not relying on these folks to mop up messes we all could go--then maybe their reactions to our actions would soften up a bit, and the opinions all-around might improve. Overall, I think that the admins do a "good-enough" job (and I set "good-enough" at a pretty high level in my mind), even if it is not a perfect one. So I really wish that all the trouble-makers and harbingers of conspiracies would turn down their volume and focus on the issue here rather than just using this as a forum to gripe. I will not turn down my own volume. —Willscrlt “Talk” • “w:en” • “c” ) 14:28, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I dont doubt that the global sysops will do their best to look after these projects, and they will be doing a "good enough" job. However, of the 47 Wikisource projects which will come under these global sysops, 44 already have local sysops who look after these projects - I have talked to the majority of them, and they respond promptly to email. As for a project without sysops, here is an example of the last 90 days on a project without sysops: [18] I have asked the people pushing this proposal to justify this imposition on small wikis, and they have failed to provide any metrics or evidence of having investigated the problem domain. So, where is the problem? It is not on the 47 Wikisource projects included in this "solution". I have carefully inspected the recentchanges and logs of all 47 Wikisource projects over the last fortnight, and I don't see a problem. This proposal will merely mean that it is non-native speakers, unaccustomed with Wikisource, who will be doing a "good enough" job. They will act sooner than local sysops, resulting in less local administration control, and they will act when local sysops have consciously decided not to act.
    So we will have global sysops doing a good enough job, effectively replacing local sysops. These global sysops will be thanked for being so effective; they will be heros.(i.e. a mediocracy) In reality, these global sysops will reduce the quality of the administration, both because of poor decisions and because the logs will be littering with English. Every log entry that is not written in the language of the project turns away native speakers who can't readily understand the decisions made, and are unable to communicate directly with the sysops making these decisions. The few people who can point out the erroneous or ill-conceived global sysop actions will be drowned out by the hordes of people who don't care to actually look at the public logs on these projects which stand as a testament to the fact that this proposal resulted in a take over of many projects without adequate justification.

XSS issues

Giving editinterface rights to a large and relatively unchecked group seems like an invitation for XSS attacks. Somebody with that right can edit the site-wide js of some small wiki where no one is watching, post to a large wiki to direct, say, stewards or enwiki admins there, and steal their session cookies (this does not work on modern browsers, but there will always be a few people using older ones). If I understand correctly how single-login works, that would access to that users account on all language versions of the same project. I doubt this risk is worth the benefit of global admins changing siteniotices once in a while. (Of course this attack could be performed with local admin rights just as well, but global editinterface rights would open it up to significantly more people.) --Tgr 10:37, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, single Meta admin can organize XSS injection via CentralNotice now (and it will be really global), and almost all global admins would be Meta admins (since fighting crosswiki vandalism frequently requires editing global title and spam blacklist). So I doubt that it is really an issue. vvvt 16:40, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That Meta admin can do it, doesn't prevent it from being an issue. Actually, it's a bigger issue that meta admin could do this, and ought to be fixed too, but it's a separate issue you've pointed out. Letting global sysop do the same just makes it worse. Notices should be a separate facility, and incapable of including scripting on pages. XSS is not the only risk. And an admin does something bad intentionally is not the only threat. --Mysidia 05:33, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wider attacks such as changing the scripts on a large wiki are, in a way, actually less dangerous because such actions are noticed by a lot of other admins and can be reverted immediately. (I don't know the CentralNotice interface, but I assume it has some sort of watchlist...) Scripts on small wikis, possibly without a single contributor who would have the technical expertise to understand what's going on, would have a much larger chance to stay under the radar. --Tgr 23:19, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Six months"

As I've added the question above, the criterion for "removal due to inactivity" is unclear. "Global sysops will automatically lose their access if it is unused for more than six months" - what is an access? Log-in? Edit? Use of sysop tools? Use of sysop tools granted specifically by the global sysop position (ie. not if you're also a local sysop on the project in which you exercised your sysop power)? This is an especially likely problem if an editor who is already sysop on multiple projects become a global sysop. --Deryck Chan 14:01, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I understood this as "if you don't use your global sysop-tools globally for six months, you will lose the global sysop-status". Somebody confirm this please. Seb az86556 15:42, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's correct.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 14:47, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Would you please define the exact scope of this "use your global sysop-tools"? Does that mean performing sysop duties on a project in which you're a local sysop doesn't count, even if that project has opted into the global sysop scheme? --Deryck Chan 21:33, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure, but that would make a lot of sense. The spirit of this seems to be "use'em or lose'em"Seb az86556 22:50, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This "not sure" is precisely the reason why I'm voting against the proposal - the "use'em or lose'em" clause doesn't make sense unless the exact scope of "access" is specified in the proposal. Can someone check with the writers of the proposal and reword this clause? --Deryck Chan 13:43, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, notice that both the Chinese and Japanese translations of the proposal have translated "access" in this clause as "to exercise the privilege". --Deryck Chan 13:48, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to amend wording

Proposal not passed

In order to make it very clear what "opt-out" means, the wording needs to be changed:

"Projects may opt-in or opt-out at their own discretion if they obtain local consensus." is insufficient.
change to "Projects may opt-in or opt-out at their own discretion if they obtain local consensus, according to the same procedures that apply to electing local sysops. If a project cannot muster more than 5 votes, the opt-out-request will be rejected.'"

This is according to the comments/answers we have received thus far. Please comment if this is incorrect.

James (T|C) 19:52, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    This is exactly what has a notion of nilly-willy. I saw the adminship request page last month with one request (4votes) put under scrutiny and rejected, and another request (3votes) processed without any further questions. If you want to avoid a backlog, you must give people a clear statement along the lines of "do not come here before XYZ is true." The same should be implemented for admin-requests, lest people will feel that they're treated unfairly and biased. It will also make it easier for stewards, and end arguments and discussions: less than 5[or whatever] -- rejected or temp, archived, next. Seb az86556 21:42, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    That is why I support the clarification even if I still object to what the final goal would enable see the proposal as a bad approach to the problem, I will remove my stated opposition if this clarification is done.

No

  1. Oppose Oppose I want opt-in. This proposal is contradictory. If it is "according to the same procedures that apply to electing local sysops", then there are sysops who were elected without "5 votes" [sic]. The usual procedure on small wikis is "unless anyone objects". On Latin Wikisource, removing the tools from the previous 'crat was based on only two supports; our 'crat only had five supports; one of our admins only had four support. Currently we have a sysop candidate who only has two supports, after more than two weeks of the nomination being open. (see s:la:Vicifons:Magistratus and s:la:Vicifons:Magistratus/Vetera)
    On small projects, it takes a lot of effort to engage five people; it usually requires emailing people, which I don't like doing.
    Small projects should decide that they need help.
    A forced opt-in should require a vote by the stewards, after there has been a demonstrated persistent problem. On most projects, vandalism sprees are very infrequent (i.e. yearly), and they are caused by vandals who are importing their problems from the big wikis. Grawp et. al. don't have a problem with small wikis projects. They want to play with people from the big wikis. Global sysops enables them to justify playing their petty games on the small wikis, where global sysops can come to the rescue. John Vandenberg 09:15, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with your reasoning, but unfortunately that is not the way it is done, and that is not the way it will be done. My proposal is simply to add these lines to make clear what is already the procedure. It does not mean I support it; I simply want to avoid the confusion on what "opt-out" in this proposal really means. The constant re-assurances above are somewhat misleading since the proposal makes no mention of what actually happens, e.g. local consensus is frequently overruled, and (unfortunately, but good for you) you were lucky with "unless anyone objects" -- or maybe that particular steward had a good day. Whether or not that line is added, that's the way it will be done. I simply don't want people to be given the wrong ideas here.
    Secondly, you bring up an interesting point: the existence of global sysops could actually attract more vandals... of course - no-one's ever considered that around here... why am I not surprised... Seb az86556 13:37, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Why the hell should there be "forced opt-in"?!? That is retarded. Are we trying to be fascists? They just started their own wiki and have worked hard on it for a long time and now we want to take over control of it without their consent, after them having done nothing to harm or endanger us? Does that sound right to you? Permissible? Excusable? Sane? It should be discretionary opt-in on a per-steward basis. (But global vote needed to "certify" stewards.) Kevin Baastalk 16:07, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    The current proposal, as it stands, is forced opt-in. that's precisely what I'm saying. If you don't like the idea of a forced opt-in, you will have to vote "no". Seb az86556 23:46, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  3. Oppose Oppose. There will be small projects where mustering 5 votes would be difficult (as John Vandenberg illustrates above) - the original wording at least allows local norms to be followed - this wording is too persciptive. With this amendment I can foresee situations where projects want to opt out and can't (yet they probably will have been 'opted in' without even being told about the proposal in their own language). If we are interested in local accountability go for an opt in system anyway - something this amendment does not address. -- (RT) 16:37, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So, setting requirements on opt-in is counter-productive (except maybe on large projects), but setting clear and easy opt-out procedures (though flexible enough to accommodate both large and small projects) is important. —Willscrlt “Talk” • “w:en” • “c” ) 14:04, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to amend wording #2

Proposal not passed

Insert after Global blocks but before the bullet points: The intent is to grant global sysops merely the ability to block IP addresses from projects which are participating in the global sysop system. At the time of this writing there are no efficient technical means by which they could block IP addresses on participating projects only. As soon as such an instrument becomes available, its usage will replace the permission to use globalblock.

Prop. 2 Yes

  1. As proposer. User:Davidwr/talk 18:31, 12 January 2010 (UTC) (Note: I tried to improve his wording; he proposed a different text --Buntfalke)[reply]
  2. Chris-marsh-usa 20:57, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prop. 2 No

  1. The second part is not going to happen. The first part is certainly true, and I'd support adding that clarification. Additionally, it may make sense to clarify that such use constitutes abuse which can be grounds for removal of permissions. I think those changes would be better than what's presented above. Note that this is already true, it just isn't mentioned specifically in the text.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 19:06, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    It's my understanding that global IP blocks are just that, global, i.e. there is no technical ability to use them for anything other than globally. Therefore, "such use constitutes abuse" is not applicable. It is also why long-term we need something halfway between a per-wiki block and a global block. Davidwr/talk 21:06, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    "Such use" refers to the wording that was present at the time of my comment -- ie using global blocks target a user on a wiki not included in the wiki set. Such use would be a case of the user deliberately overstepping their bounds, and I would generally consider that abuse of the access.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 22:28, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  2. As Mike says, the second part of this proposal is vapourware, and I doubt that any developer will build a "small wiki" block type & log.
    Blocks which only affect a set of wikis would be a nightmare, especially when the wikis affected are likely to be non-English projects where the (potential) contributors may not be able to understand the block log/message. Problems with "small wiki" block entries will not be reported as often, or if they are reported, it will be on a anon talk page in some strange language on a very quiet wiki. Who will find these complaints, and will they be able to understand why the anon is blocked?
    In the short term, global sysops should ask stewards for global (un)blocks at Steward requests/Global, just like everyone else needs to do.
    Long-term, we need local sysops on these small projects. John Vandenberg 00:01, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal #3 to Amend Wording

Proposal not passed

Under the Removal Criteria apply the following:

Term Limit A user's status as a Global Sysop is automatically ended after two years. A user may not serve again as a Sysop for at least two years following their original term as Sysop.

This ensures that there is a continaul cycling of users in the Sysops positions, and that no matter the circumstances, no one person is able to acrue to much influence or weight in an administrative position.
