Edit request

It is requested that an edit be made to the policy at Policy:Access to temporary account IP addresses. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or already supported by the Wikimedia Foundation elsewhere. If the proposed edit might be controversial, please provide additional information on the basis for your request and links to any related discussions elsewhere. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Hello,

Could you please raise with Legal the following proposed update at #Disclosure, bullet point #1, unless it can be done directly?

Users with access to temporary account IP addresses may privately disclose the IP addresses to other users who have the same access rights. To check if a user has access, please confirm within the local project's Special:Log/rights page for the ip-viewer right

with:

Users with access to temporary account IP addresses may privately disclose the IP addresses to other users who have the same access rights. To check if a user has access, please confirm within the local project's [[Special:ListUsers|user list]] page for users in the <kbd>ip-viewer</kbd> group.

Reason: If this access is being granted by means of a local user right (hopefully users in global groups that have access to this will just get it through their global group instead of 700+ local user groups, please?), Special:ListUsers would be the right place to get the actual list of users for a given user right (e.g. Special:ListUsers/sysop for a list of current administrators). Special:Log/rights just displays user rights changes, but not the user actual membership.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you, — MarcoAurelio (talk) 23:38, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it'd be even better to hint user to visit Special:UserRights/<username> which provides an easy way to check particular account's rights without browsing through hundreds of entries for those with whom I'm not interested to share the information.

Still looking into this! Trying to confirm that ip-viewer will definitely show up in that list, I assume that it will but I also assumed Special:Log/rights was The Place and have been wrong before :) MMoss (WMF) (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It may be easier to answer this when the missing bit (which is about logs) is finalized. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 23:31, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Translate minimum requirements box header

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Currently, the "Examples of more restrictive requirements" header is untranslateable. Please wrap it in the <translate> tags.

|header= Examples of more restrictive requirements

should become:

|header= <translate>Examples of more restrictive requirements</translate>

Thank you for catching this! The header is now tagged and marked for translation as unit 71. MMoss (WMF) (talk) 21:57, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
