Change Details

With {T301180} and message from T&S[1], zhwiki community have preliminarily reached a consensus to introduce SecurePoll, this task is set to summarise unattended technical question, and for further deployment use if needed. #### Rationale After the WMF Office Actions happens in Sept 2021, the Chinese Wikipedia community is seeking for a safer sysop election method for the maximum protection for the safety of voters. In Nov 2021, community ran a trial vote {T295518} to test the functionality and collect community consensus of the adaptation of SecurePoll in further sysop/other advanced permission holder election. It turns out that the community agree to use SecurePoll feature for further voting, and up to now, the community have hosted 8 successful elections (May 2022 T308397, Sept 2022 T318147, Oct 2023 T342774, May 2024 T361902, Oct 2024 T377014, Apr 2025 T389915 / Jun 2024 de-adminship T368610 / Oct 2024 arbcom T377171). However, in the past, when running elections that used SecurePoll, the community has found some problems. As setting up the polls heavily relies on the T&S team, there can be a significant wait when they are busy, especially when holidays are involved; the community need to consider if their voting period overlap with other votes. Besides, as the Chinese Wikipedia community is accustomed to having a separate voting page for each candidate, it is technically very cumbersome to configure and update the list of eligible voters, which can place a significant burden on the T&S team. Switching to local SecurePoll setup will have these issues solved nicely. #### Consensus Discussion happens under message from T&S [1], the community has reached the below consensus: - Setup SecurePoll locally for further local elections - Enable sysop to create/configure local SecurePoll (`securepoll-create-poll`, `securepoll-edit-poll`) - Create a **scrutineer **(选举监察员) usergroup for vote verification, this group is granted by steward to local OSers each time a local SecurePoll happens (`securepoll-view-voter-pii`) #### Steps ....
