Description Milos Rancic 2011-07-11 12:40:48 UTC 
To be able to impose partial global locks not related exclusively to vandalism and spam, wikisets are needed to be connected with CentralAuth, so global locks could be partially imposed.

(This is Wikimedia issue, although it requires MediaWiki implementation. If you think that it should be categorized as something else, feel free to change it.)
Comment 1 Ryan Kaldari 2011-07-13 20:41:34 UTC 
What are wikisets? Pardon my ignorance.
Comment 2 Milos Rancic 2011-07-14 01:12:58 UTC 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:WikiSets

Victor Vasilev made that extension, so we are now able to implement permissions on a set of wikis.
Comment 3 Ryan Kaldari 2011-07-14 01:16:19 UTC 
What extension is that? Searching for "Wikisets" or "Wiki sets" on mediawiki.org doesn't give me anything.
Comment 4 Milos Rancic 2011-07-14 01:17:29 UTC 
Hm. I have no idea. It's maybe just an addition to something else.
Comment 5 p858snake 2011-07-14 01:19:02 UTC 
Its part of centralauth as to my understanding
Comment 6 Casey Brown 2011-07-14 01:19:54 UTC 
Yeah, a Google search pointed me to "/extensions/CentralAuth/WikiSet.php"
Comment 7 Ryan Kaldari 2011-07-14 01:21:39 UTC 
If it's already part of CentralAuth, what is this bug asking for exactly?
Comment 8 Milos Rancic 2011-07-14 12:25:23 UTC 
Sorry for /my/ ignorance, then :)

Then just connection between global locks and wikisets is needed, inside of CentralAuth.
Comment 9 MA 2012-03-01 21:53:00 UTC 
I suggest WONTFIX. There's no consensus for such a change even among stewards. Global locks are for all projects and its scope is for plain vandals, spammers and cross-wiki abusers that needs to be locked out everywhere. Using global locks for anything else is not warranted. Thanks.
Comment 10 MA 2012-11-11 14:19:49 UTC 
WONTFIXING per comment 9.
