Allow stewards to assign IP Reveal to x-wiki patrollers without being subject to the thresholds
Open, Needs TriagePublic
Actions

Description

Motivation

Cross-wiki patrollers may not be able to meet the 300-edits threshold that is currently set as a minimum requirement for everyone who has access to the IP reveal feature (see T325451). To allow cross-wiki patrollers to continue their work effectively, stewards should be able to grant them an exception.
Note that currently several global groups do get this access including global sysops and global rollbackers.
This request was raised on meta.

See the third point of T376315#10655196. Currently https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses does not allow doing so, so the policy should be revised first.

You are right. This is something we are working with the Legal team on. The policy needs to be updated to reflect the changes to granting IP reveal as well.
