== electowiki Bureaucrats noticeboard ==

We don't (yet) have an official noticeboard for [[electowiki]] bureaucrats.  I think we should, so that [[User:Jameson Quinn]], [[User:Psephomancy]] and [[User:RobLa]] (i.e. me) don't make changes to the access settings that surprise any of the other bureaucrats.

As of today, users are required to add a valid email address to edit [[electowiki]].  I changed the <code><nowiki>$wgEmailConfirmToEdit</nowiki></code> setting to "true".  That setting effectively prohibits "anonymous" editing (from what I'm told).  Please leave a message here or on [[User talk:RobLa]] if you object to this change. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 23:45, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
:[[User:RobLa|RobLa]] As an ElectoWiki community member, a bureaucrats' noticeboard would be helpful, I think. It would also be a good, centralized place for [[m:Stewards|Stewards]] and [[m:Global Sysops|Global Sysops]] to notify of any global actions they've had to take in lieu of local administration (i.e., counter-vandalism). Not that ElectoWiki has many problems with vandalism requiring immediate attention, but it's prudent to plan for the future. If I may make one suggestion, though, I'd recommend the noticeboard location be [[Electowiki:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]], with [[Electowiki:Bureaucrats]] the policy page for bureaucrats. You could also have an [[Electowiki:Administrators' noticeboard]], too. [[meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 23:50, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

:: {{ping|Dmehus}}: thanks for chiming in!  I'm not so sure that we need to replicate all the processes and page names of [[English Wikipedia]], do we?  Since I haven't seen {{ping|Psephomancy}} or {{ping|Jameson Quinn}} editing this wiki in quite some time, I'm not so sure we need to try replicating both "[[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard|Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]]" and "[[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]]" here on [[electowiki]].  How common is it for other [[Miraheze]] wikis to have both types of noticeboards? -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 04:55, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
::: [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] No, it's probably not necessary to have both noticeboards, but since bureaucrats' roles are more limited, it would probably be better to just have an [[Electowiki:Administrators' noticeboard]], which would include bureaucrat requests, though some bureaucrat requests requiring a community discussion will occur at [[Electowiki:Community portal]], presumably. On [[meta:Miraheze|Meta Wiki]], what we've been doing is using [[meta:Meta:Administrators' noticeboard|Meta:Administrators' noticeboard]] for both administrator and bureaucrat requests.
