How would superprotect be used in a legal situation and how would that be different from any other way that community and WMF have found to deal with that without the tool in the past? Can somebody provide a hyphotethical example please?
Is WMF willing to discuss with community how superprotect should be used? That was done before for other important policies and avoiding to explain this apparent unwillingness to openly discuss that does not leave a good impression, especially concerning the obscure ways on its creation and the fact it was created in order to make part of a wiki community... which is very contrasting. That maybe wouldn't disallow its creation, but just enforces a better procedure and more talking. Regards. *Lucas Teles* *Steward at Wikimedia Foundation.
