Preliminary results of the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections
[edit]Hello all,
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.
The following four candidates were the most voted:
While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.
Learn more about the results on Meta-Wiki.
Best regards,
The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group

Does this wiki want global sysops
[edit]| RESOLVED | |
| We seem to want to keep things as is. This has now been codified at m:Global sysops/Local discussions | |

In 2021, without any discussion I can find, Leaderboard added This is a wiki that has opted in to allowing global sysops to work here without any discussion I can find. This wiki does not actually meet the default provisions for allowing global sysops (it has 137 admins, and 49 active), and was added to the global sysop wikiset in 2010 (m:Special:Log/1079847) without any apparent local discussion. Likewise, the reference to global sysops at Project:Administrators was added in 2010 (Special:Diff/307909) again as a factual statement without any apparent local discussion. I'm in the process of doing an audit of which wikis are global sysop wikis which is going to end up posted at m:SN#Global sysop set audit.
Personally I think it's fine to have global sysops here, but in order to keep the records straight we should formally codify that somewhere. So, what does everyone else think? * Pppery * it has begun 00:48, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support global sysops (+ other associated rights) rather strongly. I'm guessing that any discussion regarding this in 2010 was held off-wiki? Leaderboard (talk) 06:30, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- It's been like this for decades without opposition, surely there is no actual need for a confirmation discussion at this time, unless someone wants to change it? Ajraddatz (Talk) 13:11, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see any need to change things either. Clump (talk) 13:27, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- Me neither. Most admins do not check administrative pages a lot, and specially in the 02:00 and 11:00 UTC timeslot. Technically the wiki no longer meet GS scope with relatively active admins. ToadetteEdit (talk) 14:40, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
