Requests for comment/Bureaucrat voting survey

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

The following request for comments is closed. Closing this RfC. As a survey, it served its purpose: it gave some feedback and useful signals. I don't think the participation is significant enough to draw conclusions. Effeietsanders (talk) 06:42, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]


I would like to survey users' opinion on how to vote for and keep bureaucrats on wikis, whether adding new ones or confirming existing ones. Many questions below with multiple choices are meant to be much more flexible than Requests for comment/Bureaucrats on small wikis proposed and withdrawn by Ajraddatz with my support, which could require at least 10 active supporting voters with at least 80% of supports. When answering each question, please do not support conflicting answers at the same time. If choosing others, please write in your preferences, whether stricter or laxer than already itemized choices. There is no need to oppose all other answers, but writing in the comments with any supports or oppositions may increase the value of the choices. Thanks for voting. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jusjih (talk)

To answer the talk page, requesting opinion here on how to vote for and keep bureaucrats is not limited to smaller wikis. So many possible answers are available to choose from. In case of very different opinions, we will find the best compromise.--Jusjih (talk) 03:29, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Oppose all, unfortunately I agree Bjarlin on talk page: this question is really illogical. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:14, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
