Proposal to change TAIV policy
The current policy for Meta:Temporary account IP viewers is the default one. As per the global policy in foundationwiki, there may be additional requirements as part of this review, so I'm seeking inputs for additional requirements. As the group mostly helpful to patrollers, (proposal 1): Users must be in patrollers user group to request the access. (proposal 2): And administrators can grant this to users (who does not pass the additional requirements) with their own discretion. 🪶-TΛNBIRUZZΛMΛN (💬) 19:51, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Tanbiruzzaman: It has always been the case that admins grant permissions at their own discretion, so proposal 2 is moot. What problem is proposal 1 intended to solve? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 20:48, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks. But I still mentioned that proposal 2 as there's no local policy yet, just a info page. Proposal 1, I think it'll limit any upcoming abuse of the tool. It is something similar to Checkuser, in this case it is like "check temp-accounts". 🪶-TΛNBIRUZZΛMΛN (💬) 20:57, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Tanbiruzzaman: Who has abused TAIV on Meta? Currently there are only 2 users with this permission, one of which doesn't need it (as a full admin). NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 21:08, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
- Actually both of them doesn't need it as Global groups also have it. What I meant is any upcoming abuse, as, currently, anyone with the basic requirements can request it, and they should be granted without any question. 🪶-TΛNBIRUZZΛMΛN (💬) 21:16, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
- Right, the second user was granted GR. Anyway, I'd like to believe that Meta admins are smart enough not to grant the permission to just anyone. Unless a specific case of abuse has happened, it's better to avoid instruction creep. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 21:20, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

- I don't think a local policy on this is needed, it is niche here. — xaosflux Talk 16:35, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
