This is a failed proposal. Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump. A straw poll was held, and closed following an opposing statement by the legal counsel for the Wikimedia Foundation. |
Following a June announcement by the Arbitration Committee, it is requested that the community considers activating the user right to allow selected users to view deleted pages, on English Wikipedia.
This is a passive user right; it does not provide a means to change any thing, or to delete/undelete any content.
The activation of the user right, and a policy allowing its grant for good cause, would allow non-administrator users to gain wider participation in the English Wikipedia community.
