Superprotejare
Pe 10 august 2014 Wikimedia Foundation a adăugat dreptul de 'superprotejare' – granted grupului global de utilizatori 'Staff' – care poate face paginile needitabile nici chiar de administratori, prin urmare creând o nouă ierarhie, unde administratorii nu mai sunt cei mai de încredere utilizatori de wiki-urile noastre.
The technical feature was removed in November 2015, but the Wikimedia Foundation has not substantially addressed the reasoning that went into its deployment, or what conditions might prompt similar efforts in the future.
The first use of "superprotect" (on the same day) was to prevent German Wikipedia administrators from using MediaWiki:Common.js, where the MediaViewer had been deactivated in a wheel war involving two administrators and a WMF staffer. Like on English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, the German Wikipedia had decided to turn off this feature by default. The Wikimedia Foundation rejected the decision on 9 August 2014, and the community was discussing what to do.
Decât sa introducă aceasta măsură înapoi in Beta ca utilizatorii să poată dezactiva opțiunea, WMF a introdus această măsură tuturor cititorilor, prevenind astfel ca interfața sa fie alterată de administratorii Wikipediei germane.
Pe 27 august 2014 Wikimedia Foundation a eliminat superprotejarea paginii, dar a lăsat dreptul de superprotejare și starea Vizulizatorului Media Viewer neschimbate.
On 5 November 2015, the Wikimedia Foundation removed the Superprotect right from all Wikimedia wikis.[1] Executive Director Lila Tretikov stated:
We wanted to remove Superprotect. Superprotect set up a precedent of mistrust, and this is something it was really important for us to remove, to at least come back to the baseline of a relationship where we're working together, we're one community, to create a better process. To make sure we can move together faster, and to make sure everybody is part of that process, everybody is part of that conversation, and not just us at the Wikimedia Foundation." [1]
