Its original scope focused on page protections and BLP article content changes, in response to increasingly rising number of escalated calls for action, placed directly to the Foundation’s staff, by affected individuals. Danny Wool was the first <a class="external text" href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2006-March/041666.html">designated</a> Foundation staff member mandated to accept, <a class="external text" href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2006-March/041684.html">review and act</a> on such requests, after Jimmy Wales. </p><p>The office actions policy has undergone several iterations since, on both sites, and has been expanded to include a variety of office actions that have been taken over the years as common practice, broadening its original scope. At the same time, strict internal processes have been developed by the Foundation in order to complement as well as standardise office actions and staff use of advanced rights. </p><p>Office actions were originally intended to be <a class="external text" href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2006-March/041700.html">temporary actions</a>, alleviating pressures caused by controversial situations and <a class="external text" href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2006-April/044384.html">calling community attention</a> to them in the hopes of resolution. However, certain office actions have since evolved to be permanent and non-appealable due to the nature of the issues they deal with, while others have become defunct (<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Protection_policy#Superprotect">Superprotect</a>). </p> </div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Local_project_versions" data-mw-thread-id="h-Local_project_versions"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Local_project_versions"></span>Local project versions<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Local_project_versions"></span></h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Commons" data-mw-thread-id="h-Commons-Local_project_versions"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Commons-Local_project_versions"></span>Commons<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Commons-Local_project_versions"></span></h3></div> <ul><li><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Office_actions" class="extiw" title="c:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Office actions">Commons:Office actions</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Wikipedia" data-mw-thread-id="h-Wikipedia-Local_project_versions"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Wikipedia-Local_project_versions"></span>Wikipedia<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Wikipedia-Local_project_versions"></span></h3></div> <ul><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Office_actions" class="extiw" title="en:Wikipedia:Office actions">en:Wikipedia:Office actions</a></li> <li><a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Office_Action" class="extiw" title="de:Wikipedia:Office Action">de:Wikipedia:Office Action</a></li> <li><a href="https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kontor" class="extiw" title="no:Wikipedia:Kontor">no:Wikipedia:Kontor</a></li> <li><a href="https://si.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B7%80%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%B4%E0%B7%93%E0%B6%A9%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F:%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%8F%E0%B6%BB%E0%B7%8A%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F%E0%B6%BD_%E0%B6%9A%E0%B7%8A%E2%80%8D%E0%B6%BB%E0%B7%92%E0%B6%BA%E0%B7%8F%E0%B6%B8%E0%B7%8F%E0%B6%BB%E0%B7%8A%E0%B6%9C" class="extiw" title="si:විකිපීඩියා:කාර්යාල ක්‍රියාමාර්ග">si:විකිපීඩියා:කාර්යාල ක්‍රියාමාර්ග</a></li> <li><a href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Office_actions" class="extiw" title="simple:Wikipedia:Office actions">simple:Wikipedia:Office actions</a></li> <li><a href="https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E5%9F%BA%E9%87%91%E6%9C%83%E8%A1%8C%E5%8B%95" class="extiw" title="zh:Wikipedia:基金會行動">zh:Wikipedia:基金會行動</a></li> <li><a href="https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%8F:%D0%92%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%88%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%BE_%D1%81%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%80%D1%83%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2_%D0%A4%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B0_%D0%92%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%B0" class="extiw" title="ru:Википедия:Вмешательство сотрудников Фонда Викимедиа">ru:Википедия:Вмешательство сотрудников Фонда Викимедиа</a></li> <li><a href="https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%A7:%D8%A3%D8%B9%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%84_%D8%AA%D9%86%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%B0%D9%8A%D8%A9" class="extiw" title="ar:ويكيبيديا:أعمال تنفيذية">ar:ويكيبيديا:أعمال تنفيذية</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Wikibooks" data-mw-thread-id="h-Wikibooks-Local_project_versions"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Wikibooks-Local_project_versions"></span>Wikibooks<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Wikibooks-Local_project_versions"></span></h3></div> <ul><li><span style="font-size: 0.95em;
