විකිපීඩියා:Global sysops
This is a draft; see discussion at Project:Administrators.
This page describes the global sysop and steward policy rules that are specific to the Sinhalese Wikipedia.
Rules
සංස්කරණය- Do not block IPs in the range <START_IP> to <END_IP>, except in extreme circumstances.
- These IPs are used by University of Colombo students and staff, who create the majority of the content on this project. If someone from the University causes issues, please leave a note on the user talk page. If there are any University staff online (see list), leave a note with them regarding the edits. Having the teacher explain things to the student is far more effective than blocking the majority of the contributors.
- Limit administrative actions to countervandalism (not routine actions like clearing deletion backlogs).
- This wiki has active administrators and policies. Do not block users simply for adding non-Sinhalese content except in extreme circumstances. Sinhalese users often begin new articles by posting English text and translating section by section. If it's a new user, politely explain (without templates) that this wiki is for Sinhalese articles only, and point to the correct wiki for their articles.
- Avoid protecting pages when you can, and use short expiry times.
- Many productive edits to this wiki are by IP editors, so please avoid content-space protections whenever possible. If you have to perform content-space protections, you should always use an expiration of minimal length.
- Do not remove links added with legitimate content.
- We've noticed that someone has paid some translators to perform translation and editing work here. Oftentimes, they will create an article from scratch and, at the bottom of the article, place a link to their website. Please don't remove this as spam: Until the local community has decided on the issue, it's not hurting anything.
Dispute resolution
සංස්කරණය- We have nearly no local disputes here. It's rather nice; the dispute resolution system here (at the moment) consists of:
- University of Colombo students that have issues with each other are urged to contact university staff for assistance.
- Non-UoC disputes by Sinhala-speaking users should be referred to Lee whenever possible.
- Disputes regarding users from other projects bringing issues here should be brought to Kylu when possible.
- Images which may be copyright issues or are missing source or license, and which are uploaded by a UoC student, should be tagged with {{UOC}} and a note explaining the issue on the user talkpage.
