Requests for Comment/Direct Appointment by Stewards

Hello! I would like to propose the following: Global Administrators and Global Patrollers, along with Wiki Creator (a future group) and any global group below Steward that is not controlled by the WOF, may be appointed by a Steward who receives a vote of confidence for the candidate from another Steward. Community governance makes sense to a point, but delegation/appointment fills in crucial gaps in volunteers. Justarandomamerican (talk) 20:25, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

1.  Oppose as written. Permanent appointment without community approval is exactly the problem community governance is trying to solve. Tali64³ (talk) 22:19, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

   I don’t plan on commenting further as I don’t have a strong opinion on this, but the community would still be able to initiate a revocation request. Globe (talk) 22:21, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
