Does this wiki want global sysops

Summary by Taavi

We seem to want to keep things as is.

In 2021, without any discussion I can find, Leaderboard added This is a wiki that has opted in to allowing global sysops to work here without any discussion I can find. This wiki does not actually meet the default provisions for allowing global sysops (it has 137 admins, and 49 active), and was added to the global sysop wikiset in 2010 (m:Special:Log/1079847) without any apparent local discussion. Likewise, the reference to global sysops at Project:Administrators was added in 2010 (Special:Diff/307909) again as a factual statement without any apparent local discussion. I'm in the process of doing an audit of which wikis are global sysop wikis which is going to end up posted at m:SN#Global sysop set audit.

Personally I think it's fine to have global sysops here, but in order to keep the records straight we should formally codify that somewhere. So, what does everyone else think?

Leaderboard (talkcontribs)

Support global sysops (+ other associated rights) rather strongly. I'm guessing that any discussion regarding this in 2010 was held off-wiki?

It's been like this for decades without opposition, surely there is no actual need for a confirmation discussion at this time, unless someone wants to change it?

Clump (talkcontribs)

I don't see any need to change things either.

Me neither. Most admins do not check administrative pages a lot, and specially in the 02:00 and 11:00 UTC timeslot. Technically the wiki no longer meet GS scope with relatively active admins.
