My user story is that I've been digging around case history for the purpose of candidate review for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ACE2024" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ACE2024">WP:ACE2024</a>. There have been a few consistent slowdowns that I feel could be improved by technical clerking on closed case pages.</p><div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div><p>The easy one: transclude <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Casenav" title="Template:Casenav">Casenav</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> at the top of case subpages in the <code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr">Wikipedia talk:</code> namespace.

A number of current and past arbitrators have expressed a need for more arbitrators to take on certain tasks. Previously I started the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitrator_experiences" title="Wikipedia:Arbitrator experiences">Wikipedia:Arbitrator experiences</a> page to collect links to descriptions of the work done by the committee, to help potential candidates better understand what they will need to do. Is there interest in having a more targeted pitch to prepare candidates, and that can talk about particular challenges that need specific skill sets? Beyond availability of time (which is a hard thing to manage with Wikipedia's volunteer environment), spreading the workload seems to be an ongoing problem. Are there any ideas about how to attract users willing to do some of the less desirable chores? From the outside, it's easy to see the drawbacks; from the inside, though, is there a way to sell the upside of being an arbitrator? <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Isaacl&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Isaacl (page does not exist)">isaacl</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Isaacl" title="User talk:Isaacl">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee#c-Isaacl-20241118184600-Recruiting_new_arbitrators" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:46, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Isaacl-20241118184600-Recruiting_new_arbitrators"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Isaacl-20241118184600-Recruiting_new_arbitrators"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Just_Step_Sideways-20241118190600-Isaacl-20241118184600"></span>Historically, the committee has tried and failed at having specific roles, such as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AUSC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AUSC">WP:AUSC</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BASC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BASC">WP:BASC</a>. I had no involvement with AUSC, but I was on BASC in 2014 and it worked like this: an appeal would come in, and either one arb would reject it out of hand, or one or two arbs who may or may not be on the subcommittee would comment on it, it would sit there for a while, then maybe one more arb would comment on it and eventually someone who again, may or may not be on the subcommittee would action the result and reply to the appelant. This process often took close to a month. Shortly after my term expired I proposed reforming the subcommittee to something that actually worked, but, to my surprise, we wound up getting rid of it. As of last year it worked essentially the same way, just without the pretense that there is a subcommittee. <a href="/wiki/User:Just_Step_Sideways" title="User:Just Step Sideways">Just Step Sideways</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Just_Step_Sideways" title="User talk:Just Step Sideways"><sup>from this world ..... today</sup></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee#c-Just_Step_Sideways-20241118190600-Isaacl-20241118184600" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:06, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Just_Step_Sideways-20241118190600-Isaacl-20241118184600"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Just_Step_Sideways-20241118190600-Isaacl-20241118184600"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Thryduulf-20241118193500-Isaacl-20241118184600"></span>A subjective impression of mine is that arbs who focus on back-of-house tasks tend to be less visible and possibly as a result tend not to be re-elected as frequently. I opposed getting rid of the BASC, preferring to reform it into something that required fewer emails prodding other arbs to actually make a decision one way or another so things didn't drag on for months, but that was not the consensus of the 2015 committee. I get the impression that there still isn't great workflow management because nobody has been able to get past the intertia. I wonder if there is a sweet spot for changes to things like this - not too early in the year so new arbs know how things currently work, but not so late in the year that enthusiasm for innovation hasn't waned? <a href="/wiki/User:Thryduulf" title="User:Thryduulf">Thryduulf</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Thryduulf" title="User talk:Thryduulf">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee#c-Thryduulf-20241118193500-Isaacl-20241118184600" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:35, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Thryduulf-20241118193500-Isaacl-20241118184600"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Thryduulf-20241118193500-Isaacl-20241118184600"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-CaptainEek-20241118194300-Thryduulf-20241118193500"></span>We are currently bouncing around half a dozen ideas to improve workflow. Each has their pros and cons though. I'm definitely interested to hear thoughts from Arbs who were on the Committee during the subcommittee times, because one idea is to institute a sort of tracking subcommittee to ensure we don't lose things. Not saying I endorse it or oppose it, we are in the ideation phase here and need honest feedback. I've elaborated on other ideas at ACE and will probably elaborate more here as things continue. <a href="/wiki/User:CaptainEek" title="User:CaptainEek"><b style="color:#6a1f7f">CaptainEek</b></a> <sup><a href="/wiki/User_talk:CaptainEek" title="User talk:CaptainEek"><i style="font-size:82%; color:#a479e5">Edits Ho Cap'n!</i></a></sup><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/CaptainEek" title="Special:Contributions/CaptainEek">⚓</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee#c-CaptainEek-20241118194300-Thryduulf-20241118193500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:43, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-CaptainEek-20241118194300-Thryduulf-20241118193500"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-CaptainEek-20241118194300-Thryduulf-20241118193500"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Isaacl-20241118200800-CaptainEek-20241118194300"></span>Workflow discussion is great, and I've tried to encourage it before (as well as in my thread regarding IT support).

In terms of the good things about being an arb: you can make close connections with your fellow arbs, you get to have conversations you wouldn't otherwise (this for me is one of my favorite parts of being an arb), and you can leave the committee with CU/OS if you want. But I think if we can fix the admin pipleline issue (and the October admin elections are promising in that regard) I think ArbCom is suddenly in better shape since a person who is like "I don't really have the time but if no one else runs I will" doesn't have to run because others do, where as now I think some people who are in that category of time end up running rather than waiting for a better time.

Some arbs have done this in an unnoficial capacity in the past.</dd> <dd>I also think procedures could maybe be changed to automatically declare an arb inactive on any matter where they have not particpated in seven days, even if they are otherwise active.

We actually have a private Phab space as well that I secured for us, but it is <i>really</i> bad at vote-tracking. At the end of the day, we can (and probably will) just track everything on ArbWiki (I plan on doing a proof-of-concept myself over the next six weeks) but it <i>will</i> require someone put in the time and effort to manage it.

Because I think there was a proposal once to have clerks perform this type of role that got razzed by the community, I was thinking about having an arbitrator emeritus role, where someone whose term had ended could continue to co-ordinate arbitration work without voting or discussing any substance of the matters under consideration, or an elected non-voting arbitrator who sits for longer terms. But it's not clear to me that we could get enough volunteers to staff such a position.

If someone wants to spend time making a statement that changes nothing, why should anyone care? <a href="/wiki/User:Primefac" title="User:Primefac">Primefac</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Primefac" title="User talk:Primefac">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee#c-Primefac-20241123211300-Serial_Number_54129-20241123205700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:13, 23 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Primefac-20241123211300-Serial_Number_54129-20241123205700"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Primefac-20241123211300-Serial_Number_54129-20241123205700"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Just_Step_Sideways-20241123211800-Primefac-20241123211300"></span>Like the vast majority of contemporary Wikipedians, I have become extremely lazy in posting in threaded discussions and use the reply tool almost all of the time.
