least two weeks, and require consensus for promotion and <b>a support margin of at least 80%</b>.</code> </p><p>However, the header under the Global permissions page (<i>and</i> the Global renamers page) says that </p><p><code>Please note that global renamer discussions are not votes</code> and <code>This is not a vote</code>. </p><p>They directly contradict each other, and I was turned down for this role because the rejecting steward used the former policy against me. I think this contradiction should be resolved in some way, by choosing one of the two (and sticking with it). Personally I prefer the second one because it is in line with promotion for other similar global permissions (Global rollback/sysops). <a href="/wiki/User:Leaderboard" title="User:Leaderboard">Leaderboard</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Leaderboard" title="User talk:Leaderboard">talk</a>) <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Global_renamers#c-Leaderboard-2021-03-20T14:56:00.000Z-Contradictory_rules_for_promotion,_and_discretion_to_extend" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:56, 20 March 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Leaderboard-2021-03-20T14:56:00.000Z-Contradictory_rules_for_promotion,_and_discretion_to_extend"><span id="ooui-php-1" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui='{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}'><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Leaderboard-2021-03-20T14:56:00.000Z-Contradictory_rules_for_promotion,_and_discretion_to_extend"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Leaderboard-2021-03-20T15:32:00.000Z-Contradictory_rules_for_promotion,_and_discretion_to_extend"></span>Also, in borderline requests (such as mine), is it possible to give discretion to the stewards to extend the voting period (this is the case for Meta RFA, for example)? I felt that my application should have been extended rather than turned down simply because two weeks were over considering the relatively fewer number of users commenting compared to other requests I've seen. <a href="/wiki/User:Leaderboard" title="User:Leaderboard">Leaderboard</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Leaderboard" title="User talk:Leaderboard">talk</a>) <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Global_renamers#c-Leaderboard-2021-03-20T15:32:00.000Z-Contradictory_rules_for_promotion,_and_discretion_to_extend" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:32, 20 March 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Leaderboard-2021-03-20T15:32:00.000Z-Contradictory_rules_for_promotion,_and_discretion_to_extend"><span id="ooui-php-2" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui='{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}'><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Leaderboard-2021-03-20T15:32:00.000Z-Contradictory_rules_for_promotion,_and_discretion_to_extend"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Camouflaged_Mirage-2021-03-20T15:53:00.000Z-Leaderboard-2021-03-20T15:32:00.000Z"></span>I haven't have time to understand the situation, but meta RFA we didn't have the tradition to extend voting. For the last marginal case, a <a href="/wiki/Meta_talk:Requests_for_adminship/TonyBallioni" title="Meta talk:Requests for adminship/TonyBallioni">crat chat</a> determined that late votes won't count (i.e. 7 days is all it is given). I will say however, the rules on the SRGP page can be seen as guidelines and etc, but the global rename policy is policy. When both contradict, it should be always policies coming first rather than guidelines. If they contradict, let us make sure that the guidelines are fixed to reflect policy, not the other way round. I am just thinking the note of not votes are linked to the notion of giving stewards discretion when they see evidences of canvassing / revenge voting etc. Anyway, all these rights (GR/GS) are all based on stewards trust if I am not wrong, even if the community have unanimous support steward could still have the discretion to not promote, as all these roles are all to assist stewards. <a href="/wiki/User:Camouflaged_Mirage" title="User:Camouflaged Mirage">Camouflaged Mirage</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Camouflaged_Mirage" title="User talk:Camouflaged Mirage">talk</a>) <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Global_renamers#c-Camouflaged_Mirage-2021-03-20T15:53:00.000Z-Leaderboard-2021-03-20T15:32:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:53, 20 March 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Camouflaged_Mirage-2021-03-20T15:53:00.000Z-Leaderboard-2021-03-20T15:32:00.000Z"><span id="ooui-php-3" class="ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-labelElement oo-ui-flaggedElement-progressive oo-ui-buttonWidget" data-ooui='{"_":"OO.ui.ButtonWidget","rel":["nofollow"],"framed":false,"label":"Reply","flags":["progressive"],"classes":["ext-discussiontools-init-replybutton"]}'><a role="button" tabindex="0" rel="nofollow" class="oo-ui-buttonElement-button"><span class="oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-iconElement-noIcon oo-ui-image-progressive"></span><span class="oo-ui-labelElement-label">Reply</span><span class="oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator oo-ui-indicatorElement-noIndicator oo-ui-image-progressive"></span></a></span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Camouflaged_Mirage-2021-03-20T15:53:00.000Z-Leaderboard-2021-03-20T15:32:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Camouflaged_Mirage-2021-03-20T15:59:00.000Z-Camouflaged_Mirage-2021-03-20T15:53:00.000Z"></span>Upon reading the essence of the request, @<a href="/wiki/User:Leaderboard" title="User:Leaderboard">Leaderboard</a> you should know that by pushing for it being not a vote, it will not benefit the application. I count several supports are just support (the very essence of not votes frown on) while the opposes had laid out their rationale in depth. Yes, there are some !votes for support (mine included) that had tried to address the opposes, from what I can read here is there is no consensus at best if we are trying not to have a vote tally.
