WikiFur talk:Administrators
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Note that I've only put extra contact details for myself because I'm only sure it's OK to contact me externally, not because I intend to be the sole point of contact if things go wrong. If anyone else wants to put contact info, go right ahead!
Fair warning - people do use it, and sometimes they're very definitely not happy about things . . . --GreenReaper(talk) 06:54, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List order
Is the list of administrators in any particular order? It isn't alphabetical, though I'd be happy to change that! -- Sine 00:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Active vs Inactive admins
Looking over the list of amdins, there are a few names on there that I haven't seen contribute to the Wiki in awhile. While I have no problems with them retaining admin status, I would like to suggest that we split the list into "active" and "inactive" admins, with the delineator being that admins go into the inactive group when we haven't seen them on the Wiki in the last month.
My reason for this idea is to help us better keep track of how many admins are hitting the wiki on a regular basis, and to help us determine if we need to bring more people on as admins as the Wiki grows.
Just a thought. Comments? --Giza 23:56, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. Though I would prefer a neutral category title like "Admins that have not made any edits in the past month" instead of Active vs. Inactive. --Rat 03:00, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Note that the stats has information on who has and has not made recent edits. Admins tend to have most of the edits, so their names should be close to the top of both the active and inactive lists. --GreenReaper(talk) 00:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Should add Jack Phoenix to the list since he's technically a sysop atm, but he got his janitor flag today so the +sysop is moot anyway. --Charitwo 00:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'll just add "and janitors" to the note at the bottom, since the main list is generally reserved for those who are or were actively involved in WikiFur, rather than WikiFur in general. --GreenReaper(talk) 00:59, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Applications?
I was wondering if there's some sort of application to be an admin, or if it's only by current admin nomination (ie, GreenReaper asks someone to help out)? I'm interested, but I am admittedly still learning. ^^ Spaz Kitty
Edit: I also noticed the 'staff' lists below the main list...perhaps that would be something more up my alley for the time being.
- There's not really any application process; it's primarily been that if a person sticks around for a while and is a constructive contributor, with time GR will bump them to admin. Trust me, being an admin is not that big of a deal - it's like not being an admin, with a few shortcuts added :-) As for the "staff" list, those are people who are employees of Wikia, the company that provides the server space and software that makes WikiFur and so many other wikis possible. ----DuncanDaHusky(talk) 11:57, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] patrolled edits
After a vandalism edit has been undone, should the vandalism edit be marked as patrolled? (I assume it should, but I want to make sure) --EarthFurst 07:28, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Up to you - I don't tend to bother for mass vandalism, since you can use the bot reversion for obvious vandalism, and then it just won't show up for most people in recent changes at all. If you've fixed the problem, it doesn't need to be looked at by another, so it is logically correct to mark it as patrolled. --GreenReaper(talk) 10:56, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
