Existing preamble:
When an account with advanced permissions appears to be harming the project, the Committee may authorize expedient removal of these permissions via the procedures below. If the account in question has multiple sets of advanced permissions, removal will generally apply to all of them. The use of these procedures by the Committee is not intended to constrain the authority of the Wikimedia Stewards to undertake emergency removal of permissions on their own discretion, pursuant to the relevant policies governing Steward actions.
Circumstances in which the ArbCom may wish to remove advanced permissions from an account, other than as part of an arbitration case
Circumstance | Emergency? | Discussion required? | Notification required? | Arbitration case or motion required? | Requirements for return of permission? | Other notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Account has been or may have been compromised | Yes | No |
|
No | ArbCom and/or 'Crats satisfied the account is not/is no longer compromised | Establishing the account is not compromised should happen privately and at Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard. |
2 | Unable to contact account holder to verify they are still in control and acting in good faith when there is reason to believe they may not be. | Yes | No |
|
No | ArbCom and/or 'Crats satisfied the account is not/is no longer compromised | Establishing the account is not compromised should happen privately and at Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard |
3 | Arbitration Committee has reason to believe that the person in control of the account is not currently able to act with the level of judgement required for the use of advanced permissions (for example due to reasons of health) | Possibly | Except in an emergency, discussion should happen first. This will usually need to be non-public. | At ArbCom discretion, taking note of the circumstances and what information the user has made public. | No | Arbitration Committee is satisfied that there is no ongoing danger to the project at the current time. |
|
4 | Account is or appears to be actively using advanced permissions to cause harm in a rapid or apparently planned fashion | Yes | Yes, after removal |

Usually, unless removal was in error. |
|
|
5 | Account is wheel warring | Yes | Yes, after removal |
|
Yes |
