Create wiki (legalteamwiki) for Wikimedia Foundation legal team
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In an effort to allow the legal and lca team to work directly on a wiki more often (including for legally sensitive work) and to move away from google docs and the like as much as possible we would like to set up a private wiki for the team.

In general Ombudsmanwiki would be a good wiki to copy settings from but for the ones I can think of off the top of my head:

Wiki domain should be legalwiki.wikimedia.org.
Language should be English.
Logo can be $stdlogo.
Favicon can be wmf.ico
Canonical server should be https (forced should be on).
Account creation should be bureaucrat only (not sysop).
Transwiki destinations of office, collab and meta would be helpful. (Not sure if private wikis can be tw destinations though... if not that's fine.
wmgUseDisableAccount should be true

I can be the original sysop/crat.

Wiki domain should be legalwiki.wikimedia.org.

Why not legal.wikimedia.org?

Above patches will allow VisualEditor support; it needs to be created first, however (obviously).

To keep legal.wikimedia free incase it's wanted for something broader and more open then a confidential wiki.

I don't know that either but would guess that not. Even if, you'd have the problem that any sysop on the target wiki could then make guesses which pages exist on the private wiki and try to import them.

How about legalteam.wikimedia.org? Using the name legalwiki.wikimedia.org could be confusing, as wiki internal names are by convention formed by taking the subdomain and adding "wiki".

I also disagree with 'legalwiki.wikimedia.org', especially if you see the potential of using legal.wikimedia.org in the future (which would probably be a wiki too, the difference between the two then actually being access controls - and obviously content).

I'm fine with legalteam if we prefer, I don't really care I just want it to make sense and get done :).

I note that ombudsmenwiki assigns no rights to the autoconfirmed and confirmed groups (except OAuth and transcode rights). Is this required for legalteamwiki?

hmm, no, I just saw that... not entirely sure why that was done but it would be best to still allow the normal options on legalteamwiki. I don't anticipate semi protection being a thing on the wiki obviously but no reason to turn something off (especially upload) without reason.

Does $stdlogo work on other privte wikis? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/legalteam/b/bc/Wiki.png 404s

Yup, but you are indeed correct, it doesn't work for private wikis because it puts it into a different (private) file url scheme which you have to be logged in to use. I'm uploading a config patch with the logo.
