Superprotección
O 10 de agosto de 2014 a Fundación Wikimedia deu un dereito engadido de "superprotección" - concedido ao grupo de usuarios global "staff"- o que pode facer que as páxinas non se poidan editar mesmo para administradores, creando así unha nova xerarquía onde os administradores xa non son os usuarios de maior confianza nas nosas wikis.
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.
O primeiro uso da superprotección (no mesmo día) foi para impedir que os administradores da Wikipedia en alemán cambiaran o MediaWiki:Common.js, onde o MediaViewer fora desactivado na guerra de edicións que incluía a dous administradores e un funcionario da WMF. Como na Wikipedia en Inglés e Wikimedia Commons, a Wikipedia en alemán decidiu desactivar este recurso por defecto: A Fundación Wikimedia rexeitou a decisión o 9/8/2014 e a comunidade tivo que discutir que facer.
En vez de poñer este recurso como Beta, para que os usuarios poidan activalo de forma opcional, a WMF impuxo a súa implantación deste programa a tódolos lectores, con ameazas de quitar os permisos de administrador na Wikipedia en inglés, e agora impiden que ese script sexa modificado por administradores na Wikipedia alemá.
O 27/8/2014 a Fundación Wikimedia, eliminou a superprotección da páxina, pero deixou o dereito de superprotección e o estado do Visor de medios sen cambios.
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]
