[Foundation-l] Stewards' question: How to make your Wikimedian life easier?

Fri Aug 19 17:42:53 UTC 2011

New RfC [1] has been opened on Meta. Here is the description and one suggestion.

* * *

Stewards had short discussion at their list and came to the conclusion
to start the discussion how stewards could help to make life of
Wikimedians easier. It is mostly about small wikis and rules around
them. The idea is to make those rules more simple and more accessible
to editors of small wikis. Other ideas are welcome, as well.

''(Make your own suggestion inside of separate section.)''

== Admin and bureaucrat permissions ==
As admin and bureaucrat permissions shouldn't be a big deal, I suggest
next changes:
* Regular temporary adminship could be given once on three months. If
user is active and willing to keep admin permissions, after three
months she or he would get permanent permissions.
* Bureaucrat permissions shouldn't be a big deal as well. One
long-term active user should get them if necessary. Otherwise, let's
say, if wiki has at least three active users and at least 80% support
(in the case of less than 5 users, 100% support is needed), bureaucrat
permissions would be given.
* Inactivity: all permissions on small wikis could be lost due to
inactivity. Let's say, no edits for 6 months would be treated as
inactivity.
