Changes to editing access and login setup

Hello @-revi: First, thank you for your efforts here on Foundation Wiki and now Governance Wiki over the years. Second, I wanted to make sure you were aware that as we complete the transition to the planned Governance Wiki setup, we will be making further changes to editing access and the setup of logging into accounts.

Over the coming weeks, we will be enabling Single User Login (SUL) on this wiki - allowing all registered users edit access to the talk pages as well as translation pages. Editing on main namespaces will be limited to approved accounts. You can find additional information about these planned changes on the Meta-Wiki page for Governance Wiki. Once this transition is completed, we will begin reviewing what additional access and setup changes may be necessary to best support the purpose of this wiki. Again, thank you for all of your assistance over the years, and we look forward to seeing you utilizing the new setup. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 01:48, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey, is it correct that anyone who is not WMF employee/contractor will lose access to this wiki (as in main NS)? Thanks for checking! — regards, Revi 23:28, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

@-revi: While we test and finalize settings for this wiki, yes, all editing on the main namespaces will be limited to a small group of staff (and of course, the Stewards). We may begin to expand that group over time. However, as of today, people are able to edit talk pages and will also be able to edit translation pages once that extension is fully setup (hopefully early next week). --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 15:17, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Gotcha. Thanks! @GVarnum-WMF, That reminds me for one more clarification request: are we (Stewards and GS) authorized to perform cleanups (of vandalism/spam) on non-limited namespaces? Thanks! — regards, Revi 23:04, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
