Proposal
To maintain this site's quality, we need to give people the tools to do so, after all, a small group of staff can't do it alone.
We want to grant as many permissions to as many people as soon as possible. To do that we feel like we need baby steps. We feel like if the steps are too big, our human nature will cause us to simply not grant the permissions. We feel that if we use small steps, trust will be build quicker because the risk is small each time and when we feel good about that step, we can take another step.
- Anonymous editor
- Login, can move (rename) pages, upload images, watch pages, be emailed from the site - Why create an account?
- AutoPatrolled, a permissions group which has auto patrols edits, meaning that the persons edits are automatically deemed constructive and not needing review of each one.
- SiteReviewers - gives auto patrolled folks an extra tools to help with maintaining site quality, i.e to deem an edit constructive
- peerrev - is removed (superceded by SiteReviewers)
- InterWiki - people who are interested in linking the wiki world in AboutUs by maintianing the InterWiki table
- System Administrator (sysop), can make AutoPatrolled and SiteReviewers, and delete and NoBot pages
- Bureaucrats - ability to create bureaucrats and sysops, and rename people
Discussion
Currently this is called RecentChanges patrol - there is some movement to get away from the patrolling "bad" edits ideology and to review peer edits.
Is is good idea for peerrev folks to have deletion ability?
One conclusion is that the cons here outweigh the pros as explained with the of the "baby steps" text above.
pros
- category pages
- junk pages
- request for deletion
- adult images
- deletion log can be a way to monitor this as well as recent changes and would be auto patrolled.
cons
- it's concerning when a non trafficked page can be deleted with virtually no oversight
- by needing to check deletion log and recent changes it is creating more work.
- it is an action that doesn't show up on a watched list.
- deletion is not a fundamental issue for the site currently
Do we (the royal community we) agree?
- Please indicate YES or NotYet below and when we have a clear consensus, we can act on it.
- Ted: NotYet We're not done refactoring yet.
- Mark: NotYet
