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.
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)
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:
- Enable mandatory cookies: Users have to explicitely accept the mandatory cookies to get access to the wiki. If this setting is not activated, users accept the mandatory cookies implicitly.
- Enable mandatory "Privacy policy" and "Terms of service": Users have to consent to the "Privacy policy" and "Terms of service" to get and to keep access.
- Accept "Privacy policy" and "Terms of service" on login: Accepting the "Privacy policy" and "Terms of service" is integrated into the login process. It is required on first login and everytime a user deactivates the consent in the user preferences.
