As an event organizer, I want the Event Organizer right to be managed by admins (for volunteers) and Trust & Safety staff (for WMF staff members), so that the right is managed in a way that is more aligned with general wiki practices and so that the right can be granted or revoked with greater efficiency.
Background: The campaignevents-beta-tester right is how organizers can access organizer tools (such as enabling Event Registration on an event page, managing a participant list, emailing participants, collecting data on participants, etc). It has been managed by stewards in the past, but we are changing the process so it is managed by wiki admins. This change allows admins to have direct control over who has the Event Organizer right on the wikis, and it will improve the efficiency of granting/revoking the right, since more people can review requests. Since the CampaignEvents extension is currently only enabled on Meta-Wiki, we have started with consultation with Meta-Wiki admins (see discussion).
Meanwhile, we have also received approval from Trust & Safety for them to manage requests from WMF staff accounts.
Notes:
- Request for the right can no longer be added on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Registration/V1_Summary due to this change. There will be a different process/place on where volunteers will request the right, which is still being determined in a discussion with the admins.
- We are currently not creating a Super Organizer right, but we may in the future, if we learn that it may be useful.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Change the internal name of the right from "campaignevents-beta-tester" to "event-organizer"
- Change the user-facing name of the right from "CampaignEvents beta testers" to "Event organizer"
- Change link of group name to be the following page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Event_Organizers
- Change the management of the right, so that:
- Wiki admins can grant or revoke the right for any volunteer user
- Note: This will start with admins on Meta-Wiki, since the CampaignEvents extension is only enabled on that wiki, but this rule will be the default for other wikis, though perhaps this may be something they configure differently (to be discussed)
- WMF Trust & Safety staff can grant or revoke the right for any WMF staff user
- Wiki admins can grant or revoke the right for any volunteer user
- All users who currently have the right should still have the right under these changes
