Seeking victims volunteers to serve as scrutineers

Help with admin policy change
[edit]There has been a consensus on ORWP about admin roles and I'm seeking help from bureaucrats to action.
Summary of consensus:
- An admin is expected to make at least 50 administrative edits in a year.
- Current admins without 50 administrative edits in the last three years will be removed from their roles, allowing active and experienced Wikipedians to become admins. If a former admin starts active editing contributing to (at least 10) admin tasks then they can reapply to become an admin again.
- Experienced editors who have not been admins and have been in assisting admin tasks can apply to become new admins.
This consensus will affect two current admins: User:Ansumang and User:Odisha1. On behalf of the community I'll request for removal of their sysop roles. Thanks! Psubhashish (talk) 02:45, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Psubhashish Odisha1 already got their admin permissions removed three years ago [1] due to inactivity. Please request removal of admin permissions for Ansumang at SRP#Removal of access, linking your new inactivity policy (and this discussion if you want). Johannnes89 (talk) 19:03, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks much. Done. Psubhashish (talk) 19:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Psubhashish: I removed the rights, removed the wiki from the AAR set [2] and updated Admin activity review/Local inactivity policies accordingly [3]. Let me know if I interpreted the policy incorrectly. Also, for transparency, could you perhaps document the inactivity policy somewhere, perhaps at or:ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ:ପରିଚାଳକ? EPIC (talk) 20:01, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, @EPIC. I've updated w:or:ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ:ପରିଚାଳକ with the details from the consensus. I also noticed that a request for stepping down from adminship shared by another admin (Soumendrak) is still pending. I've updated the same at Permissions#Removal_of_access.

RFC Notice: Requests for comment/Extract global bot policy to own page
[edit]Many parts of Bot policy are written 16 years ago (see here), have little modifications, and no longer in line with current practice. The only thing useful as a policy is the global bot part. So I propose to extract these parts to a new page and then obsolete the current Bot policy. GZWDer (talk) 14:11, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- A RFC is open at Requests for comment/Extract global bot policy to own page, please comment there. — xaosflux Talk 15:07, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
Special:PasswordPolicies for stewards
[edit]While browsing that page for other reasons, I discovered S are subject to same rule as an ordinary users, unlike the hardened rules for CU/OS/WMF-OIT/WMF-T&S/Crat/etc etc you name it.
I assume this was because SE requires admin privileges which in turn enforces hardened rules (and loginwiki CU forces them to the hardened rule), I think there is some benefit to using hardened rules for S role by default, unless global group has a special flag enforcing the hardened rule. Thoughts? — regards, Revi 20:44, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think this is displayed anywhere on-wiki, but the privileged password policy is applied on the steward global group as configured here and here. Taavi (talk!) 21:00, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Seems like that page is showing the rules for "local groups", while certain global groups (such as stewards) already have enhanced rules. While our stewards are local stewards here on metawiki for technical reasons, they are also global users. Someone could put in a feature request to spin up Special:GlobalPasswordPolicies if they wanted to. — xaosflux Talk 23:39, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
Is there a page that displays all steward activity?
[edit]Just wondering 'cuz I wanna forecast the upcoming election. Another Wiki User the 3rd (talk) 19:35, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- No, as "all" is a very broad term! However, there are statistics on many local wiki actions here: Stewards/statistics. There are many off-wiki activities that occur on other platforms such as phabricator, VRT, and UTRS. Additionally, there are actions that take place on project wikis. — xaosflux Talk 19:56, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
