Editing SmashWiki talk:Junior administrators (version 3)

==Some Clarifications==
I mostly made this as a combination of [[SmashWiki:Junior administrators]] and [[SmashWiki:Junior administrators (version 2)]], both of which failed to pass. I added some questions I need answered before I attempt at getting this approved as a policy, which are in parentheses. Hope this works.

:The same problem is present with this proposal as with the previous proposals to similar effect: the differences between normal admins and junior admins isn't significant enough. The most important, major powers that are used by admins are the abilities to manage blocks, deletions, and protections; however, you assign junior admins all of these. Essentially, there's no reason that anybody would qualify for junior admin under a proposal like this if they wouldn't pass our current RfA system. That's why I continue to oppose a junior admin system.

::To be blunt, I agree with the above - however, I'm sure there's a way to figure this out. The way I would do it would be:
*Rather than explicit blocking powers, allow access to a suspended usergroup, which wouls be functionally similar to a block, whereby a user cannot create new pages, nor edit the mainspace, but can still edit any talk page.
*Allowed to hide pages to non-Rb's (if that's a thing on this system, not sure), which would simutaneously act as a non-permanent Delete and Protect.

== Some qualms ==

*Is there a way to prevent junior admins from lowering protection just so they can edit pages?
*While it's not absolutely necessary, I would like to lower the max edits for junior admin page deletion, most vandal pages will have five or six edits at most.
*I'd like to put further restrictions on suspension, like only allowing it for blocking new accounts (if possible).

I continue to '''oppose''' this proposition. I understand the desire to have more people with the power to stop a vandal, but this still seems overly knee-jerk and unnecessary. We have rollbackers, we have admins, and I really don't see the demonstrated need for this intermediary level to exist. If your concern is lack of admins, I would say that three active ones is a sufficient number for most things, and besides that the standard RfA system has been working fine. I'm also concerned about adding more hierarchy and user rights stratification to the wiki.

:The problem is that rollbackers don't really have the tools to actually ''stop'' a run of vandalism as opposed to individual vandal edits and admins are expected to have great conflict resolution skills. Therefore, I feel that users that can really be trusted for janitorial purposes but aren't believed to have the necessary conflict resolution skills (i.e. some of the recently failed RfA candidates) could be given this position to be more effective in fighting vandalism while not having to be given a whole slew of tools that are really needed mostly for conflict resolution.

#'''Neutral''' for now: I'm not fully sure about this proposal, so have some thoughts.<br />If I'm not mistaken, this policy's goal is giving more users a more effective way to deal with vandals, since right now non-admins can only undo, rollback and mark for deletion, and therefore have no way to actually stop an ongoing vandal attack.<br />The main issue is the low power gap between this and full adminship; therefore, in order to widen said gap, let's see how actually useful would the powers proposed by this policy be.<br />- '''restore''': completely unneeded, as regular users cannot delete pages and previous versions of files are kept.<br />- '''delete''': not fully needed since pages can be simply blanked and possibly marked for deletion and deleted by an admin later. This means more janitorial work for full admins but is relevant to widen the power gap. I don't see spam pages and files causing actual problems by merely existing, unless they contain illegal material. A truly dedicated vandal could also edit a page more than six times to give it a big history and bypass this. The one use I could see for this is '''undoing malicious moves''' (is there another way?).<br />- '''lock''': relevant for stopping vandals, but could also be used to stop edit warring which (as I understand this policy) might lie outside the scope of this position. This too could be time-restricted.<br />- '''suspend''': definitely the most relevant of all; its proposed implementation seems fine but I wonder if six hours is enough to guarantee an admin's presence for a check.<br />Overall this kind of position seems a nice way to help holding back vandals. The "another group of users to never be online" criticism would not hold if the group were large enough and its users were decently distributed along time zones. Which of course is also true for full admins, which leads to Miles's criticism.<br />Hope this helps. -[[User:Menshay|Menshay]] ([[User talk:Menshay|talk]]) 12:53, 30 October 2015 (EDT)

:I've never understood when people say this, it just looks like spam. Also @DekZek, will it be Toomaj deciding or Porplemontage deciding.

::Bumping is like a revival of an old conversation. It sort of reminds users that this discussion exists.

At this point, consensus seems split at best and leaning towards oppose at worst. Unless anyone has any other opinions, I think we may have to reject this policy soon.
