I am proposing a private wiki, where only administrators, stewards and WMF staffers can view and edit the wiki. All LTA (Long term abuse) records shall move here and should not be re-created on the wikis. Other content that should be private to only admins is also permissible. This wiki also needs to be accessible to "IP masking" in their LTA UI. Whether "IP masking" LTA access is open outside of admins or any other group is outside of the scope of this proposal. Apparently the only way to have wikipages secure from the public is to have an separate wiki (see mw:Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_viewing_of_certain_specific_pages), so here we are.

I checked the other private wikis, and none of them where fit for purpose.

Rules:

  1. Administrators need to sign up to gain access
  2. Stewards handle removals. When a Steward request is made to remove rights, rights to this wiki are removed alongside it.
  3. Wikis who handle their own removals have to report them to an steward for removal of rights to this wiki.
  4. Stewards are allowed to use sanctions on admins of an wiki that do not report removed admins.
  5. Admins should not be encouraged to do actions on the wiki they are an admin on against their local wiki policy.
  6. Any content that has any rights of being public is not allowed on the wiki.
