Change Details

== Background = I've got two requests from two communities where Flow is enabled as a Beta feature to give the right to create flow boards to some users/usergroups (namely Wikidata and fr.wikiversity). At the moment, [[ https://fr.wikiversity.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Utilisateurs_globaux/global-flow-create | only 3 people ]] have the right to create Flow boards globally on the wikis: @Catrope, @Quiddity and @Trizek-WMF. There is no local Flow creator group. **In which conditions Flow boards can be created?** * [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Flow/Request_Flow_on_a_page#1._Community_discussions | At the moment ]]: ** only wikis where Flow is already avaliable are eligible. If Flow is not available, it is not possible to have Flow deployed without a global consensus. ** a group of people asking to have Flow on a page must reach consensus from users who use the page they want Flow on (possibly one user alone when the request if for a new project, with no page created). * This rule can be locally changed, and it would possibly be the case when a community gets the Flow creator rights. == Questions == **Is it a good idea to create a local Flow create right?** * It will decrease the delay between a request and the application * Communities can do what they want, at their own conditions * It may be a source of conflicts between people pro-Flow or pro-Unstructured pages * It will ease page moves, renamings... * ... **Which users can have this right?** * An already existing group? That easier, but there is a risk to have people who are against Flow who will refuse or revert Flow board creations. Rules have to be provided. * A new group? That's more complicated but it can involve more people. Bureaucrats will then have the possibility to give this right locally, based * Should we give the Global right to Stewards? == To-do == In this order: [ ] Reply to the questions, and, by extension, see if it is a good idea [ ] Create the user right (if the idea is good) [ ] Document how to create new Flow boards with this new right
