Hello!
Per Polish Wikipedia community consensus[1] I would like to ask for creation of a new user group "Członkowie Komitetu Arbitrażowego" (Arbitration Committee Members) (group-arbcom). As stated on the linked page, the new group shall have the following rights:
Our local bureaucrats should be able to add and remove users to/from this group.
Thank you in advance.
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Add arbcom group to plwiki | operations/mediawiki-config | master | +10 -2 |
and probably some more, so IMO that shouldn't be an issue. However if Legal wants to take a look at it, then yeah, why not?
It's a formality because there's rules around accessing deleted text and voting on who can get it. It shouldn't be an issue in theory.
As a secretary of the Polish arb-com I would like to explain that so far members of individual terms of the Polish arb-com receive (for a limited period) full administrator rights. So that vote is supposed to organize the situation and in fact limit the powers, not extend.
Exactly like Jacek555 commented, this particular request is about limiting the number of rights that arb-com receive (without diminishing Arb-com power). Cheers!
@DannyS712: Not sure why exactly WMF-Legal was added here or what is wanted - also see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/28/
No need to involve Legal. Everyone who passed a RfA-like process, which include ArbCom members, can get access to deleted stuff. This is ready to be processed.

@Majavah thanks for the heads up. I was under the impression that it had to be +1'd first (aware the +2 is during deploy), but if that isn't required I'll go again and schedule.
