The Wikimedia Steward Wiki is a private MediaWiki site controlled by the Wikimedia Foundation. The purpose of the wiki is to allow users with global steward permissions across WMF sites to have a workspace to collaberate and discuss proceedings. The wiki is completely private except for the Main Page due to the fact that sensitive information regarding CheckUser and Oversight tools, both of which stewards have access to, are often included in the wiki’s pages. The Steward Wiki is not unified as part of WMF CentralAuth and therefore global accounts on public wikis like Wikipedia cannot be used to access the Steward wiki. Only select accounts can be created by site administrators, and accounts are only given to users global steward access. Jimbo Wales, the founder of the WMF, also has access.
