--- Comment #13 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> 2012-03-18 18:39:57 UTC --- (In reply to comment #12) > Interpretation of a word may be different from person to person, but policy > tells me that your interpretation is wrong. > > [[m:Closing projects policy]] defines closing a wiki as 'locking its database > so that it cannot be edited by anyone except stewards'. As Vito says feel free > to open a discussion on Meta. On a technical level, closed really ought to mean closed. I don't understand why allowing a user with the "edit" right overrides the wiki being listed in closed.dblist. That seems like simply wrong behavior. I don't disagree with the idea that sometimes you might have to edit the closed wikis, I just feel that doing so should require the wiki being temporarily being removed from closed.dblist and then edited and then re-added to closed.dblist. Sometimes a little bureaucracy is an effective rate limiter. You're absolutely right that some of this is more at a wiki policy (non-technical) level, though. Maybe I'll start a discussion at Meta-Wiki, but it's going to me discussing with active Meta-Wiki users (which is primarily... the stewards), so I'm not sure how much it's worth my time. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
