Requests for Comment/Community Disputed Wiki Closures

Given the recent incidents on 'Qualitpedia' wikis, I'd like to hard code a policy preventing wikis being closed without community consensus and allow the community to stage a steward backed 'coup' if one happens.


 * WHERE a wiki is closed by someone locally holding 'managewiki' rights
 * GIVEN the community (users listed as active users at the time of closure holding (auto)confirmed and that are human) dispute the closure
 * AND no local policy allows the closure
 * The community MAY open a single discussion on metawiki or another appropiate on wiki venue
 * THAT facilitates the reopening of the wiki
 * AND removal of any user that took part in the closing of the wiki
 * THEREBY appointing new local admins & crats OR restoring old ones not partaking in the closure
 * AND ALSO THEREBY reopening the wiki for us

Notes & Clarifications

 * local policy allowing the closure MUST only be deemed valid if placed more than 24 hours before the closure and was added with the allowance of existing policy or via local community consensus.
 * Any vote to add new admins will either by evaluated by stewards where no local policy exists or follow local policy.
 * local policy SHOULD be deemed null & void if it simply is a unilateral desicion of users which must be removed.


 * Each point (reopening, replacement admins, desysop of current admins) MUST be clearly detailed in the vote and MAY be done as seperate votes.
 * Community consensus SHOULD be determined by Stewards.
 * Other appropiate wiki venues MUST be subject to Steward & that venue's admin team's guidance
 * The terms SHOULD, MUST and MAY are defined by RFC 2119
