Terms of use pages

When users log into the wiki for the first time, they usually need to accept the privacy policy and the terms of service of the wiki.

Terms of service

If these two pages do not yet exist in the wiki, the wiki shows a banner to wiki admins. Wiki admins need to create these two pages. The pages are also linked in the wiki footer.

Account deletion or anonymization

Request to administrators

When a request for anonymization or account deletion is made, all users in the sysop group will receive an email notification.

They can then access the Privacy page located in Global actions > Administration or by navigating to Special:Privacy_Administration.

This pages lists the submitted requests. Administrators can review and approve or deny them.

  • Grant request (click on Approve)
  • Reject request (click on Deny)
Review privacy request

In addition, administrators can see the status of thePrivacy policy consent for every user.

Direct action by users

The wiki can be configured so that users can perform these actions immediately without approval from an administrator first (not possible in BlueSpice cloud). Requesting actions applies to:

  • anonymization
  • account deletion

Immediate action can be configured as $bsgPrivacyEnableRequests = false; in LocalSettings.php.

Configuration settings

The following settings can be made in the config manager of the wiki: {{#dpl:title=Manual:Extension/BlueSpiceConfigManager|include=#BlueSpicePrivacy}}
