Wikipedia talk:Requests for oversightership/Enfcer

Crat chat

I would like to note here that as of the 7th day of this RfP (21 May), there were less than the 25 votes of approval as required by WMF-wide OS policy. Were this particular RfP to close on-the-dot on the 7th day, this would have been considered a failed permissions request. Nevertheless, this is not an uncommon situation on this wiki, due to the relatively small community and comparatively wider activity intervals, and thus I move to close this RfP as successful, with the following factors influencing this particular call:

• Precedent in past RfPs for OS/CU: Wikipedia:Requests for oversightship/Fr33kman, Wikipedia:Requests for oversightship/The Rambling Man, Wikipedia:Requests for checkusership/Djsasso 2
• Acknowledgement by members of the community that such extensions do occur: Wikipedia talk:Requests for permissions/Archive 2#Proposal
• Zero oppose votes and zero comments in this RfP

Agreed. I think we can use common sense here and say that it is undoubtedly successful by any everyday terms. IWI (chat) 12:40, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Just so you know since these don't happen often. This is a crat chat for crats to determine if there is consensus to close one way or there other, not a general community discussion. -Djsasso (talk) 12:42, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

 (change conflict)  Unfortunately, I would have preferred not to rely on "common sense" reasoning for a thing such as RfPs. In Wikipedia:Requests for oversightship/The Rambling Man, a bureaucrat at that time did voice their objection to such de facto extensions (which, I emphasize, are not properly defined in policy pages). For that particular RfP, the discussion didn't really take off, as far as I can tell, and it was closed as successful in the end. When this is all done I intend to initiate a new discussion on ST to provide clarity to WP:CFA. Chenzw  Talk  12:47, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

• Yep I think we can close this as successful. -Djsasso (talk) 12:41, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

@Djsasso: I thought that may be the case, but knew my input wouldn't do harm. Sorry about that. IWI (chat) 16:51, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
