Requests for Comment/Interwiki links editing

Interwiki links are links that allow wikis to link pages from other wikis. There is a global Miraheze interwiki which is the default for all wikis, as well as local interwikis for each wiki. Users are not allowed to edit their own interwiki, and this is due to the fact that interwiki can be used for phishing, spam and other malicious uses, since the links appear as any other wiki page.

Proposal 1
Create a new group called "interwiki-admin". This group will be able to edit local interwiki upon request, but not the global list which will remain restricted to Meta administrators. Interwiki admins may edit any interwiki where they are a bureaucrat, but naturally should not edit any other interwikis without a request from a bureaucrat there.

Interwiki admins are required to check every link before they add it to interwiki, to make sure it is not malicious.

Rights and Eligibility interwiki-admin is voted on by users. However, the following conditions must be met in order for the user to be eligible to be voted. If these conditions are not met, the user may not be a candidate for 'interwiki-admin' and any support votes will not matter. A candidate must:


 * Have at least 1000 total global edits on Miraheze (on more than one wiki)
 * Have had their Miraheze account for at least 2 months
 * Be involved in some way in community matters (in discussions on Community Noticeboard, etc.)

Revocation If an interwiki-admin adds any malicious site to interwiki, they can immediately be revoked without warning.
