Club Penguin Wiki Network:Global Policy/Rights

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.
