THIS IS A DRAFT
The WikiOasis community elects various people who hold global rights to perform global functions. "Global" means active on all wikis, as opposed to "Local", which means active on a specific wiki. This policy details guidelines for use of their tools.
Groups holding global rights
The following groups hold global rights on WikiOasis:
Wiki governance
- See also: Wiki governance.
Users holding global rights follow the principles of community governance.
Global rights and Meta
Those who hold global rights have a special relationship with Meta (meta.wikioasis.org). Stewards serve exclusively as Meta Bureaucrats and as Meta Administrators by default. This means Stewards participate in the local administration of Meta.
Global Administrators and Global Patrollers, who are not also Meta Administrators, may use their tools on Meta to combat clear and obvious misconduct. When in doubt, or if there is a complex dispute or any policy discussion, they should refer to Meta Administrators and Stewards.
Global rights and local communities
WikiOasis values local autonomy whenever possible. However, the volunteers might work with local communities to prevent disruption, vandalism, and spam. Therefore:
- Stewards and CVU may collaborate with local administration to prevent disruption.
- A local bureaucrat may request to opt out of counter-vandalism intervention by application at Steward Requests. However, this is at the discretion of Stewards, and if the wiki goes dormant or there is an uptick in unpunished vandalism, Stewards may revoke this opt out in order to combat vandalism.
- Stewards still have ultimate authority to penalize violations of global policies.
