Non "clear-cut" global locks vs. steward COI and local policies
[edit]FYI: A current case reported at en:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2023-06-19/In the media and discussed on the talk page there raises policy questions about global locks, including how they may relate to Stewards policy#Avoid conflicts of interest and Stewards policy#Check local policies. (TL;DR: A steward globally locked an account for actions on the steward's home wiki, with a rationale that appears to match none of the usual "clear-cut situations" listed at Global locks#Reasons to request a global lock, and with the user having been active on other wikis besides the steward's home wiki.) Not sure what the best location is for discussion about this; for better or worse it is right now happening on that page on enwiki, one of the projects affected by that particular global lock.

Re the note regarding the Serbian Wikipedia (under § Check local policies)
[edit]Underneath the link to the Serbian Wikipedia's local policy regarding steward actions, the following is currently noted:
A note from a local administrator: This page on sr.wiki documents certain global procedures, so it's not intended to be locally voted on. However, its English contents were specified and then approved by the local community.
I guess what comes to mind when reading this, is - is this note necessary/wouldn't it be generally assumed that local policies have been approved by the relevant communities? /gen
What's prompted me to ask this question is because I've been looking at that section with the intention of (hopefully) simplifying the translation unit. Courtesy pinging نوفاك اتشمان as the editor that added the note originally. All the best, —a smart kitten[meow] 18:25, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
