== Scope ==

Global sysops have administrator access on all publicly editable WickedGov wikis. They ~~do not have administrator access on private or fishbowl wikis~~.

Global sysops have administrator access on all publicly editable WickedGov wikis. They can use basic tools such as deletion and blocking as well as more complex tools such as editing system messages and abuse filters.

~~== Check local policies ==~~

Global sysops may only use their access in the following cases:

~~Should a wiki have an existing local policy regarding the~~ global ~~sysops' scope~~, global ~~sysops must ensure to conform to the relevant~~ policy ~~before acting~~.

# Prevention or mitigation of spam or vandalism.

# Prevention or mitigation of disruption caused by [[compromised accounts]].

# Emergencies and urgent situations.

# Uncontroversial technical maintenance.

# Enforcement of global policies or actions, including [[global bans]].

# Other actions supported by local policy/consensus when there are no local administrators or all local administrators are inactive.

Requests for global sysop rights should be placed on [[Stewards/Requests/Global permissions]]. The request will be approved by a Steward if there is a consensus for the user to become a global sysop. The discussion is not a vote; comments must present specific points in favor of or against the user's approval.

=== Vote of confidence ===

Any Steward may remove a global sysop's rights at any time if they feel the tools have been misused~~, or if a request for comment has shown that a significant minority does not trust the global sysop~~. ~~If this occurs and the global sysop wants the tools back, a vote of confidence shall occur, where the global sysop must retain the consensus of the~~ community ~~in order to return their access~~.

Any Steward may remove a global sysop's rights at any time if they feel the tools have been abused or seriously misused. Access may also be removed after thorough community discussion.
