For obvious reasons we are keeping rights management a lassiez-faire operation for bureaucrats to perform. However, staff reserve the right to remove rights if they feel that local rights are being abused.


However, if a wiki has no bureaucrats, or if they are inactive, the staff will only grant permissions when a unanimous vote declares so (with notice posted and any bureaucrats notified), and looking into the user's history (including voters) and if any bureaucrats have recently logged in. With this policy, the ''administrator'' or ''bureaucrat'' rights may be granted.
If a local wiki has bureaucrats, staff will not interfere with their work unless we have a reasonable staff local rights are being abused.


For removal of bureaucrat rights, you should contact a staffer. The same rules as above apply.
However, bureaucrats may only be demoted by staff. This is decided on a case-by-case basis: self-resignation is generally accepted, otherwise, a consensus must be achieved by the wiki's community.
 
=== Policy for wikis without active bureaucrats ===
 
If a wiki has '''no active bureaucrats''', staff may grant permissions if notice is provided to the wider community and to the existing bureaucrats (if any), along with a discussion and vote. Under this policy, staff may grant ''administrator'', ''bureaucrat'', or ''bot'' rights (to a dedicated bot account). Staff might be consulted if rights are to be removed, falling under the same staff policy for removal of bureaucrat permissions on any wiki.

This is an official policy that guides granting of rights for staff.

At the global level

Global bots

In order to become a global bot:

  • The bot must have edited across 2 or more wikis, and have bot flags at these wikis.
    • In case a wiki is not covered (inactive bureaucrats) an exception is granted for this wiki.
  • If the bot requires administrator privileges, we do not currently grant global admin on your bot. You will need to seek adminship on the wikis individually.
    • The exception for historical reasons is for TuxBot.
    • If the bureaucrats on your wiki are inactive and you are an administrator on that wiki, staff may grant local adminship to the bot.
  • If your bot is abused in an editing dispute, the CPWN Staff have the right to remove global bot permissions.
  • Remember, having a global bot is serious business. You should ALWAYS have a link to your page (as the owner) or explicitly tell this in the username (e.g. User:TuxBot is owned by User:Tux).

Other global rights

The only other global right that can be granted is for CPWN Staff only: the staff global user group. Currently, we are not accepting applications for staff.

At the wiki level

If a local wiki has bureaucrats, staff will not interfere with their work unless we have a reasonable staff local rights are being abused.

However, bureaucrats may only be demoted by staff. This is decided on a case-by-case basis: self-resignation is generally accepted, otherwise, a consensus must be achieved by the wiki's community.

Policy for wikis without active bureaucrats

If a wiki has no active bureaucrats, staff may grant permissions if notice is provided to the wider community and to the existing bureaucrats (if any), along with a discussion and vote. Under this policy, staff may grant administrator, bureaucrat, or bot rights (to a dedicated bot account). Staff might be consulted if rights are to be removed, falling under the same staff policy for removal of bureaucrat permissions on any wiki.
