Alternate proposal: Merging CheckUser and oversight to steward
Hello community! I’d like to propose an alternative to the proposal above about merging the rights. Here’s what I’d propose:
- Stewards are granted the suppression-log, view suppressed, and CheckUser-log rights for accountability;
- The CheckUser and Suppressor groups remain existent and aren’t removed;
This would allow for accountability amongst stewards and still allow non/stewards to be granted those rights if absolutely necessary. X (talk) 15:46, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- Support - That seems like a good and better proposal, which is why I withdrew my proposal. Drummingman (talk) 15:20, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Support AlPaD (talk) 15:28, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Support as proposer. X (talk) 20:58, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose viewsuppressed as it poses a confidentiality risk, Support the rest. Zippybonzo (talk) 07:14, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- Could you elaborate what you mean by “confidentiality risk”? @Drummingman requested I add “view suppressed” to list via Discord, so you may want to discuss with him. X (talk) 11:17, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- The reason I want to include view suppressed is that the logs already show a (partially) suppressed version, but to check each other properly you need view suppressed, and otherwise you have to add suppression yourself. The rest has to do with trusting the stewards to keep suppressed versions secret, which hopefully is already the case. Drummingman (talk) 13:21, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- What's wrong with adding the rights in that case? I don't view that as a significant imposition, and it aids public and community transparency. Dmehus (talk) 16:32, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think you should be able to just view suppressed revisions without the community knowing. Zippybonzo (talk) 10:43, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

- Support: per proposer. Whether non-stewards should be granted CU or SU is a question I will pose in another proposal if this one succeeds. Justarandomamerican (talk) 13:49, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per Zippybonzo. Dmehus (talk) 16:29, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- So would you support it without view suppressed? X (talk) 16:33, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yes. There does seem to be unanimous consensus here to at least
checkuser-log
being added. Dmehus (talk) 22:16, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

- Neutral - CU and SU practice for bureaucrats are optional, but I don't mind with CU and SU remain existent and not removed and steward having the CU and SU rights. Tailsultimatefan3891 (talk) (contribs) (rights) (block) 23:47, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
Possible close?
Drummingman, AlPaD, X, Zippybonzo, Justarandomamerican, and Tailsultimatefan3891, I'm involved, and though I am fairly certain there would be no objections to me closing in this way, I thought I'd {{ping}} you all here to receive your assent to this being closed as follows, as successful with checkuser-log
added to the steward
group and all other user groups remaining the same? Dmehus (talk) 21:52, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
Support proposed close and involved closure

- I don’t see why suppression log cannot be added too, given that there was no opposition to that. X (talk) 21:54, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'm confused. Why exactly would that be the only right added, given the fact that the only possible opposition to
suppression-log
is confusing as a (full?) opposition based on a partial opposition? Justarandomamerican (talk) 21:55, 2 July 2023 (UTC)- X and Justarandomamerican, I've refreshed my memory on what Test Wiki's Special:Log/suppress displays, which is what would be viewable if that user right were added to the
steward
user group. For all or most pages in(Main)
namespace or most other namespaces, there is little PII leakage. Similarly, there is also little to no PII leakage when secretly changing specific revisions to a page. However, the issue I suspected existed, which is what I think Zippybonzo was alluding to in his !vote argument is for pages withinUser:
andUser talk:
namespaces. Specifically, on pages where a user inadvertently edited while logged lout or where they created an IP user/user talk page instead of their own user/user talk page. If this user right were added, it would be very easy to associate the likely page creator/editor to the likely IP address. I realize Stewards are trusted by the community, but on the same hand, I also feel like it's a lot of information that could be gleaned without having to add one's CheckUser hat.

Greetings, @Drummingman: @Dmehus:.
I have a query regarding tracking and identifying individuals who have accessed a particular user account and conducted unauthorized activities, specifically acts of vandalism. Considering the recent blocks on the user in question, I believe it is important to determine the individuals responsible for such actions. Is there a feasible method to achieve this? Sav • ( Edits | Talk ) 02:04, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- I don’t think any action is needed at this time, considering the account hasn’t edited since March. If the account were to start vandalizing again, a CheckUser may want to take a look, but now I’m not sure it’s needed. However, it’s ultimately up to the stewards. X (talk) 02:10, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with X. CU also no longer makes sense because the logs are only kept for 90 days. However, I did block the account indefinitely as a Steward action because it is indeed a site risk. Drummingman (talk) 14:01, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
