What are the rules for appointing users such as global sysops and global patrollers? Do they need certain votes or percentage support? I saw some recent requests for these rights but I cannot find the rules. [[User:Bosco|Bosco]] ([[User talk:Bosco|talk]]) 15:55, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

:It hasn't officially been decided, but for now they will likely follow the requirement for stewards. 5 votes, 5 days, 2/3 in support. [[User:Globe|Globe]] ([[User talk:Globe|talk]]) 15:57, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

== Global Infrastructure Issues: Stale CSS Cache & Phorge Auth Failure ==

I am reporting two linked technical issues that appear to be caused by server-side cache/session desynchronization:

* '''CSS Cache Issue (superscience.wikioasis.org):''' Updates to [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] are not propagating. The production site is stuck on an old version of the stylesheet.

** '''Evidence:''' Adding <code>?debug=true</code> to the URL loads the correct, updated CSS. This confirms the issue is with the ResourceLoader/CDN cache, not the source code.

* '''Login Failure (phorge.wikioasis.org):''' Unable to log in to Phorge. The OAuth redirect fails with the following exception:

<blockquote>Unhandled Exception ("Exception"): The authentication provider did not return a client state parameter in its response, but one was expected.</blockquote>

** '''Note:''' This persists in Incognito mode and after clearing all <code>wikioasis.org</code> cookies. It appears the "state" parameter is being lost during the handshake between the auth provider and Phorge.

'''Request:''' Please force a purge of the ResourceLoader cache for the affected wiki and investigate the OAuth state synchronization issue. [[User:PandaFiredoge|PandaFiredoge]] ([[User talk:PandaFiredoge|talk]]) 14:30, 18 April 2026 (UTC)
