CSE Wiki:Governance

CSE Wiki being open to edit, needs some governance structure to ensure that users do not enter into conflict. To ensure consistency and smooth running, there are guidelines that all users have to follow.

User groups

To achieve accuracy, efficiency and relevancy, the users are divided into different user groups. Each user group have certain privileges which cannot be enjoyed by other users. The different user groups and their privileges are shown below

User group	Eligibility	Some special rights
(All)	All non logged in users	Can read all content
Users	All registered users	Can edit/create pages on main namespace
Autoconfirmed	All registered users who have contributed enough based on a set criteria	Can edit semi-protected pages
Administrators	Most active users chosen by Administrators	Edit protected pages Delete pages (and undelete pages) Create, Edit and Move pages in CSE Wiki namespace Block users
Bureaucrats	Chosen by Bureaucrats	Can change user group of other users (can promote a user to Administrator) Rename and delete users
Officers	Selected Candidates of Civil Services Examination	Can edit and create pages in Strategy namespace

Organisation of content

Content on CSE Wiki is organised using namespace and categories. Namespaces are like folders (or sections) while categories are like tags.

Namespaces

Namespace	Usage	Edit rights
(Main)	All content pages	Users
Strategy	Strategy by toppers	Officers
CSE Wiki	Important information related to website	Administrators

Categories

A page can be have multiple categories. To see all the pages in a category go to its page, which is at Category:<category name>. A category can also be a part of another category. This creates a hierarchy of categories. (Note: Applying one category to a page does not automatically included parent categories. They have to be manually applied).

See the example of category Organisations and International Organisations. International Organisations is tagged with the category of Organisations, which makes is a subcategory of Organisations. All pages should be tagged with both to appear on the category pages of both.

See all categories in use at Special:Categories.
