| This article describes the governance of this wiki.
| |
| | |
| = History =
| |
| == Current state ==
| |
| Currently (March 2013), the wiki is effectively without government. There is a set of six [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]]
| |
| * [[User:Ripper234]] - Added on March 2013
| |
| | |
| MagicalTux is the only [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Sysops_and_permissions#Bureaucrats beaurocrat], and nobody else is capable of appointing new admins.
| |
| | |
| [[Wiki_admin_nominations|This page]] will contain nominations for new admins, and hopefully some of them will be added in the future.
| |
| | |
| == 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/gibberish) should never be deleted or reverted. An an exception, resolved and/or dead conversations may be pruned as necessary to make cluttered Talk pages more manageable. Archival pages may also be used to separate historical content from current material.
| |
| # Edits should respect [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view NPOV]. Do not merely revert edits if you disagree with some perspective; instead, try to rephrase the language in a way that does not disenfrancise the original perspective, while being more agreeable to your own.
| |
| # Avoid [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reverting revert wars], they are unproductive. Seek cooperative solutions and compromises which satisfy everyone. Perfection is not a goal here.
| |
| | |
| = 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.
