| This article describes the governance of this wiki. | | This page is no longer used and has been archived. You can view [https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Wiki_governance&oldid=37377 old versions of the page in the history] |

| = History =
| |
| == Current state ==
| |
| Currently (March 2013), the wiki is effectively without government. There is a set of five [https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=sysop users with admin] rights:
| |
| | |
| * [[User:Genjix]]
| |
| * [[User:Kiba]]
| |
| * [[User:MagicalTux]]
| |
| * [[User:Nanotube]]
| |
| * [[User:Sgornick]]
| |
| | |
| However, none of them has shown any recent interest in applying their power in any sort of governance.
| |
| | |
| MagicalTux is the only [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Sysops_and_permissions#Bureaucrats beaurocrat], and nobody else is capable of appointing new admins.
| |
| | |
| [[user:ripper234]] [https://bitcoinfoundation.org/forum/index.php?/topic/51-could-should-the-foundation-manage-the-bitcoinit-wiki/#entry594 was chosen] by the Bitcoin Foundation (with MagicalTux in its board) to join sgornic as lead wiki admin.
| |
| | |
| == Future ==
| |
| * More admins are needed to make effective progress in governing the wiki.
| |
| * A core set of rules are needed. Admins will enforce these rules.
| |
| | |
| = Proposed Core Rules =
| |
| | |
| The rules below are only '''proposed''' at this point, some sort of discussion will take place before they are formalized.
| |
| They do not replace [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette standard wiki etiquette], but are rather in place to be used where the etiquette fails.
| |
| | |
| # Discussions that are not utter rubbish (spam/gibrish) should never be deleted or reverted. [https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ATonal_Bitcoin&diff=11554&oldid=11522 Example of rule violation].
| |
| # Edits should respect [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view NPOV].
| |
| ## In case of dispute, citations should be brought in to support a POV.
| |
| ## Citations should be "convincing". Quoting a few opinions and prefixing an opinion with "some claim that" is not cause to violate NPOV.
| |
| # No [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring edit wars] are allowed.
| |
| | |
| = Transgression =
| |
| The rules above will only be enforced starting from a particular future date - past "transgressions" are of course not punishable.
| |
| Admins will not be trigger-happy, and any punshiment for breaking the rules can (to some degree) be appealed (recommended medium is posting to bitcointalk).
| |
| | |
| However, rules without a bite are meaningless, and so appropriate measures will be used to enforce this set of rules.
| |
| The measures include warnings, locking articles, temporary bans, and ultimately might include permanent bans.
