Meta:Event organizers: Difference between revisions

Event Organizers are Meta-Wiki users with the technical abilities to coordinate and manage events on Meta-Wiki. The first tool available to users with the Event Organizer right is Event Registration via the CampaignEvents extension. Event Organizers who use Event Registration have the following abilitiesː

• Create an event page in the event namespace
• Add users (with the organizer right) as co-organizers of an event
• Enable registration on event pages that they created
• Collect information on participant demographics, if they agree to a clickwrap agreement.
  • Participants can answer optional questions when registering onː Gender, age, profession, comfort level in contributing to Wikimedia projects, and if they are a part of any Wikimedia affiliates
• Edit event registration information
• Disable event registration on event page
• See who registered for the event and when they registered
• Remove participants from the participant list
• Send emails to registered participants

The following are recommended requirements for users to be granted Event Organizer rights. These criteria serve as a guideline and may evolve based on community agreement or consensus:

  • A minimum of 300 global edits
