The ombuds commission, on behalf of the Board of Trustees , investigates complaints about infringements of the Privacy Policy, the Access to nonpublic personal data policy, the CheckUser policy and the Oversight policy, on any Wikimedia project.

As a global community body, they will not investigate compliance with a requirement imposed by local community policies additionally to the requirements of global policy. They can investigate whether the terms of local CheckUser or Oversight policies or guidelines comply with the global CheckUser and Oversight policies. Local policies are permitted to go further than global policy in protecting user privacy, but not to opt out of global policy in any way.

The Commission are not an appeal body for local or global administrative actions, such as blocks, locks, and bans. Where those have been based on checkuser or oversight information, the initial checkuser or oversight action can be investigated, but the subsequent block or other result should be referred to other global or local bodies.

Opgaver

In addition to official investigation, they will mediate between the complainant and the respondent (usually a CheckUser , oversighter, Bureaukrat , Administrator , or arbitration committee member). When legally necessary, the ombuds will assist the General Counsel, the Executive Director or the board in handling the case.

When the case is litigious, the ombuds will be in charge of educating CheckUsers or others about the Foundation's privacy policy. When the Privacy Policy, Access to Nonpublic Information Policy, CheckUser Policy, or Oversight policy have been breached, the ombuds commission should report to the Executive Director or designated staff and recommend a course of action (such as removal of access to tools). Additionally, the commission might suggest suitable changes to policies or software.

Neutralitet

An ombuds' investigation should be conducted in a manner determined by the ombuds to ensure fairness and impartiality. As a general guideline, it is best that ombuds avoid conflicts of interest as much as possible, particularly by avoiding routine use of CheckUser or oversight access and not processing complaints on the projects on which they are very active editors. However, matters that come before the commission are not clear-cut, and the language and culture of various projects may pose barriers to outsiders. As such, how the commission investigates complaints is left to the discretion of its appointed members.

Medlemsskab

Members of the ombuds commission are selected from the Wikimedia community by Wikimedia Foundation officials. A call for volunteers is issued each year in early October on the Wikimedia-L mailing list and on the talk page of this policy, as well as other project forums as appropriate. They are appointed (assuming they agree) for a period of approximately two years (one year, prior to the 2023–25 Commission). One or more non-voting alternate member(s) may also be appointed. A Steward-Observer may be appointed to serve alongside the Ombudspeople.

Indsendelse

Complaints may be made to the ombuds commission through the following ways (preferably in a language spoken by one of the members):

To use the form, access this link: Special:Contact/ombudscommission
To write an email, access this link: Special:EmailUser/Ombuds commission

Both ways will send message directly to OC mailing list.

Please follow these guidelines when submitting an inquiry to the commission:

Be concise: Lengthy emails with unnecessary information make it harder for the commission to process the case in a timely manner.
Be objective: Avoid making inquiries based on speculations or subjective judgements.
Provide evidence: Please provide us with diff links and/or permanent links when possible.
Be specific: Specify what part of which policy has been violated.
Please inform us if your wiki has an Arbitration Committee (or a similar committee) and if you have reached them (or used other dispute resolution procedure customary to your community) before reaching the ombuds commission. Provide a link to the relevant case page if appropriate.

Processing/Reporting

Cases brought to our attention will be processed the following way:

Confirmation of the request: We will send a notice of confirmation to the requester, and if necessary ask for further information.
Scope: If the request is within the scope of the ombuds commission, we will do the investigation, if not we will decline the request and try to direct the complainant to a better place to get help for their individual problem.
Investigation: We do whatever is necessary to find out whether or not there was a breach of the policies or a non-compliance or conflict of local policies with the global ones.
Result: We give the result of our investigation to the requester, and if there was indeed a breach of the privacy policy, we will inform the user who was investigated and if necessary inform the Board of Trustees and if necessary recommend removing OS, CU or steward rights from the user breaking the policy.

Endelige beslutninger

Hvis Kommissionen har truffet en beslutning, der har betydning for det bredere samfund, kan den offentliggøre den. Selvom der endnu ikke er offentliggjort nogen beslutninger, er det hensigten at offentliggøre nogle i den nærmeste fremtid.

IP block exemptions (2016/42).
Disclosure of information (2019/125) (2019/122) (2019/121) (2019/138) – this decision outlined the circumstances where a checkuser may disclose information they have obtained through their privileged access.
Functionaries banned on other projects (2024/230) – dealing with a scenario where a volunteer banned from one wiki (or otherwise becoming untrusted) continues to have access rights on another wiki.
French Wikipedia Nominations Committee (2019/129) (2020/160) (2021/173).
