Background: During the discussion to enable CampaignsEvent at Wikipedia in Spanish, an admin pointed that private registration of participants can add difficulty to the patrolling activity regarding a given event. This is because the admins only know who registered publicly -- not everyone who registered.
This admin considers that not being able to transparently and publicly access the full list of participants (in case of private registrations), hypothetical problems with events (like mass creation of new articles without sources, deletion of promotional articles, protests about quick deletions that do not allow time to improve articles, etc.) could not be prevented or solved and the community would not be able to apply sanctions in case of tag violations, nor would be aware of any misuse of permission or transgressions of the Universal Code of Conduct.
Since it is important to protect the privacy of participants, we might consider to grant admins with the power to see the full list of usernames of the participants (included those who registered in private), as a possible solution to reduce the difficulties for patrolling, while maintaining the privacy of the participants in front of the rest of the community.
Acceptance Criteria:
- Given that an organizer creates a new event,
- When users register, they should see the following text about private registration: “Private registration: Your username in the participant list can only be seen by the event organizers and members of the following user groups: [user groups listed here]. Your contributions during the event may be excluded by the organizers on the Programs & Events Dashboard or other tools to collect statistics.”
- And if a user registers privately,
- Their username and private status (i.e., lock icon next to username) should be displayed to admins
- Their username and private status (i.e., lock icon next to username) should remain displayed to event organizers
- And if a user registers privately,
- When users register, they should see the following text about private registration: “Private registration: Your username in the participant list can only be seen by the event organizers and members of the following user groups: [user groups listed here]. Your contributions during the event may be excluded by the organizers on the Programs & Events Dashboard or other tools to collect statistics.”
- The [user groups listed here] part should be generated in the same way as the list used in the badaccess-groups message (for a real-world example, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:DeletedContributions while logged out)
- If a wiki has configured to have only event organizers view private registration, then the first sentence of the text should end after "...event organizers."
- We will have as default that admins are the only new user group added to be able to see private registration, but wiki communities can choose to assign the new right to other user groups, if they want
- This should only be released AFTER communications finished on the change (confirm with Ilana)
