Global sysops

Global sysops are highly trusted users with a strong track record of cross-wiki contributions that have administrator privileges on all public wikis for the purposes of antivandalism and routine maintenance. They have no extra editorial control over content or the local community.

Scope

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

Check local policies

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.

Appointment

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.

Removal

Continued global sysop access depends on both activity and the continued support of the Wikimedia community.

Inactivity

Global sysops will automatically lose their access if they have not made any edits to any WickedGov wiki in six months.

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.
