"Awarded"? Me? Yay! How exciting! :D | |||
Who is...
This has been bugging me for a while, but who is Arckanghel? It says he's an admin, but he doesn't appear on the Sysop page. Also, he only has 20 edits under his name. Was he a friend of the founder or something? | |||
What if he comes back and reeks havoc? What will we do then? That brings me to this question:"Can Admins be banned?" | |||
Hehe, I thought the same thing. Arckanghel isn't an admin though, so I might remove him. However, I do worry that Shane might appear, go insane and start deleting everything. Odd thoughts, but you never know. But don't worry, admins can be banned. I could ban myself if I wanted. | |||
He was a sysop some years ago, I think. Must've been stripped of his title or some error occured back when this page was made. | |||
So Admins can be banned? So say if one of you guys went mad with power, you could just ban the other admins infinitely and then take over for yourself. Then you could rule the wiki in an oppresive regime of fear and domination. Fear keeping the lower classes in line, fear of random bannings. Scary thought. Please don't go crazy until after I've left. | |||
Should something like that ever happen, the sysop would be banned by the wikia.org staff and the "victims" would be unbanned by them as well. | |||
Well that ends my nightmare scenario in its tracks. Now I can sleep soundly at night. | |||
Lucy?
Does anyone know if Lycentia is in-active? :) according to her contributions she hasn't edited in over a month. | |||
I've been wondering the same thing lately. She probably just got busy like the rest of us. | |||
Should she be moved to in-active? | |||
Blue's awesome idea
Blue posted this in the MMIL voting thread, since he noticed that we now have five admins, one of which is a female: | |||
MMIL |
Diablo |
HeckoX |
Maybe we should actually put this on this page. :P Hell, it should go somewhere, because it is awesome. | |||
Well that means we can only have one more Admin since after that we'll be out of Judge Images. The sixth guy or gal should get the Judge of Wings picture. | |||
Good catch. However, using the JoW would mean our next admin would be a woman. Curse there being no image of Reddas in his Judge armor! | |||
So the next admin would be a woman aye...? Well if I must then I must: (sounds of sawing, ripping, and a chainsaw accompanied to by the sounds of horrible bloodcurdeling screams)

Either Vayne or... Gramis Gana Solidor or... Judge Basch! I'd like a Zargabaath. | |||

Except he didn't forge the FFWiki, he revitalized it. Just a detail though. | |||
Shane (whoever that guy was) is Gramis. Crazyswords is Gabranth or Vayne. | |||

the idea to end all other ideas
why not just let the Mods choose thier images? You guys seem to want some kind of order, but it doesnt seem like its workin out to well. | |||
Or...something even fun, let's use the character images from Before Crisis. | |||
Its about unity. Every image must have the same general theme or it will look like crap. | |||
@BH, I agree. With 15 mods, having a hodgepodge of summons or characters from different games would make the page look too messy. After all, it needs to be easy for newbies to know who they can turn to when they need assistance. I quite like the GF's for the moment, maybe in 3-4 months we can change it to the VI Espers? | |||
If we use the VI Espers, I call dibs on Ragnarok.
| |||
well thats no fun. eventually nothing will have enough to keep the group theme alive. Before long youl be back at my idea. | |||
Not true. Just make the mods choose a Boss Sprite from FFVI. That's enough to last for an eternity. | |||
You all realise that it'll be a while before more mods are appointed, if ever? | |||

TheSwordofDoubt - Xemnas may not be eternal, but his speeches definitely are. TALK - Nanoha ain't called "The White Devil" for no reason. | |||
I don't think so. If they were gone, I personally think that they'd tell us they were taking a Wikibreak or something. | |||
I like to think that they ran off together. Yes, those two are sipping fruity drinks on a white beach in front of a green ocean, just letting the sea air flow. =) If you're wondering where they are, contact their User Talk pages. Then try E-Mail. | |||
I contacted MMIL on her Facebook. She's just rather busy with real life just now. | |||
If we get new mods

I think we shouldn't get new mods. Who's wiv meh? ILHI 13:54, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
Not me. I think there is some well deserving people out there who would make good mods. - Valarie | |||
No, there are some deserving people who deserve to be listed here like most of our current moderators should have. What I'm trying to say is that Moderators are needed to keep the wiki standing -- Not to show good-editors above other editors. That's what CSM did wrong, Moderators should be the select few given the powers because admins believe they are the best users to keep the wiki in-shape, and not just any user that does extensive editing to the wiki.

Bluerfn

Er, Bluer got his position removed? Shouldn't Hecko's be removed as well? 'Cause, you know, we could always add Balthier as an image if we get a new admin. Now, for dribbling down little ideas for the Mod pictures, how about the Turks? | |||

Don't worry. One of our present Mods will be upgraded to Admin, so ILHI can take their spot on the Mod table. And with Bluerfn gone I suppose the new Admin will take Gabranth unless they elect something different. | |||

Now Faethin and 8bit can fight over Gabranth if they so choose. As for a final character, I suppose that Emperor Gramis can be picked, or perhaps Judge Cid. If I were going to choose, I'd take Judge of Wings. | |||
What is this? It seems that departed boss admin Bluerfn was removed of all mentions in the staff page! Is this a gesture of ungratefulness? This is far worse than the proposal I have below! How merciless >:O | |||

BlueHighwind Q? 12:23, 10 April 2009 (UTC) TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ: | |||
Bluerfn wants nothing to do with this wiki anymore, so he voluntarily removed himself from the Staff page and even somehow got his Admin status removed. Of course, AJ-Baby, I truly must doubt that you ever cared about Bluerfn or anybody for that matter, so what is your point? | |||
Bluer should be mentioned. He should be mentioned up there, as an inactive admin. Yeah, he doesn't have his powers: but if he had just left and never returned, he would have been placed there. He got his powers removed by WikiaStaff and Diablo removed him from history. Whether Bluer asked for him to do that (likely) I don't know.
Still, just ignoring one of the greatest contributors to the FFWiki isn't right. He left because he felt he wasn't getting enough respect for all he was trying to do. To then have his name removed so he'll never be remembered for it. I don't know if it's just me, but I don't think that's right. ILHI 12:28, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
BlueHighwind Q? 12:31, 10 April 2009 (UTC) TALK - So if you care to find me, look to the Western Sky!ツ: | |||
He's still on the History Page. We're not Stalin's Russia. Leaving for not getting respect, I should give that idea a good bit of thinking. | |||
Every user thinks they don't get enough respect. You can't really find respect and thanks working on a wiki. Unless you're a WikiMercenary. ;) ILHI 12:36, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
My point is that it is merely a ruse. If the so-called "departed" administrator HeckoX returned, then it is likely Bluerfn does as well. Though if that was so then he is merely one underprivileged person, and will likely to receive lesser respect than he ever thought he'd received in his short tenure. "Respect" aside, whatever happened to being a fan of the series? Such is unbecoming of an administrator... On a more merry note, I do believe instead of Larsa, Shane613 should be given the image of Emperor Gramis - noting his apparent "death" and Diablocon be given the icon of Larsa to signify his continuation to servitude for the wiki. I failed to find that image, however. If anyone would be so kind? >:) | |||
A new feature if I may
I foresee that my petition would be successful and achieve its purpose. When that happens, the users may still want to be credited for their contribution - whatever it may be. Therefore, how it is if we create a special section of "Acknowledgment" for our ex-rollbackers. It is a good compromise, indeed >;3 | |||
Despite my good intentions, it was severely rejected by the administration. But of course, who indeed tolerates sudden changes and the loss of privileges? But no matter! My brand of edit shall reveal all truths >;3 | |||
Shane613
I think Shane613 should have an Occuria image instead of Larsa! After all, he IS the founder of the wiki. Digitopolis 06:49, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

- About that, CSM has been active recently. I removed the inactive comment but he don't got a portrait.
- And a lot of the mods classed as inactive are hardly inactive. Just not as active as the six at the top. Netherith, Hexed and Nelo? I see Netherith editing every now and then, and Hexed was in RC earlier today I believe. Nelo has uploaded some art recently I think. ILHI 15:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

CSS and JS
Which staff member, if any one in particular, is it best to ask about implementing new CSS/JS? I was thinking it might be worth adding the "tabber" div class. An example implementation can be seen here, and I think it might be really useful. The proliferation of collapsible tables on this wiki, while not a problem, could be reduced. As an example application, this template has three collapsible sections, which could be replaced by tabs --

- Aha, found it. Forum:Tabs for multi-encounter enemies. Netherith suggested it, I said I don't like them, and 8bit and Drake didn't understand it. Now two have shown interest, it's two for, one against. 88.108.93.113 22:37, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
- I confess that I mainly want tabs 'cause I have a use planned in my Dissidia guide. In the end, my argument comes down to the one I used for USERNAME: basically we'd be adding it just for the sake of having another tool --

- I confess that I mainly want tabs 'cause I have a use planned in my Dissidia guide. In the end, my argument comes down to the one I used for USERNAME: basically we'd be adding it just for the sake of having another tool --
It's just some CSS and JS code. It's not going to harm anyone if it's unused. We may not want use it in our articles, since our wiki's style is already defined and relies more on collapsible tables. Also, unlike KH wiki, which in the case of enemies, has one page for each of them and divides the information in tabs, we have several, and by several, I mean up to some 12 pages on an enemy with the same name. So we're not using tabs for those.
But if we ever do, even if it's not probable since we're so used to collapsable tables (<3), it's there. I vote yay. - Henryacores^ 09:58, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
Incidentally, there's still my initial question of whether there is one particular "best to ask" sysop when it comes to adding new CSS/JS. I just wanted to reiterate that enquiry; I'm sure I'm not the only user who has ever wanted to know this -- 10:10, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Inactivity
With this I am trying to call out staff members to pro-actively define their status of activity with accuracy and responsibility. I'm not suggesting the use of timetables to illustrate it, or other complex methods, but I believe that despite the purely voluntary nature of the workings of the website and without trying to have affect upon it at all, the availability and the focus of each staff member's attention should be made more clear.
Fellow wikians and staff memebrs, thank you for your attention to this message. - Henryacores^ 18:59, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Put messages on talk pages. If they don't reply in four days they've failed the first test. :)
- Also, ILHI IS DEEEEEEAD!! JBed (talk) 19:37, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
- I'm sorry for the bluntness, but you didn't get the point. This is a request for each involved individual/user/staff member to take action and specify their situation, and is absolutely against that action by second or third parties. I personally oppose the enforcement of a status by anyone but the user, because users have a life beyond their time here, and I can assume that in most cases only they can be accurate.
- The message also applies to active users which have a conditioned availability. So, the keyword of the message is "their". - Henryacores 20:17, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
- I got the point-- Not that this is a place to discuss this, but if someone can't respond quickly to a request on their talk page then they are inactive, and if they later say otherwise they are either lying or their status has changed by the time they make a statement-- and then their stated status can be changed with their actual status. If a staff member happened to die, we shouldn't need them to tell us they are inactive to change it. That's all I'll say. JBed (talk) 20:32, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

I am also of the opinion that acknowledgements shouldn't be divided between active and inactive. The section is for acknowledgements of past work, and unlike staff, knowing whether an acknowledged user is still active isn't useful. JBed (talk) 13:17, July 21, 2013 (UTC)
Social media and bots
Two things: First thing, can we add Calca and Brina images for Intangir Bot and DrakeyBot respectively, and put them in their sections for Administrators? The bots have admin powers even if they don't use them for anything but editing locked topics, but it's probably important to mention that the bots are there (and that they are run by wiki staff). Second and bigger thing is, I think we should add a section for the social media staff. That is, the ones who have the passwords to and update our Facebook, Twitter, Twitch and YouTube accounts. This is because it is semi-important to mention the people that update this stuff and can update it, and this is probably the most convenient place to list them. Technically, it doesn't relate to powers on the wiki, but they are wiki-related powers, and they are responsibilities on the wiki, as well as being things people should know about. And users in the Acknowledgement section have no powers anyway, yet still get mentioned here. | |||
First point: Yes, but I would put their images and user list separate from the rest of the admins.
Second point: Project:Facebook, Project:Twitter? JBed (talk) 23:44, September 2, 2014 (UTC)
- Hm, I was thinking it'd be like bcrats and sysops. Portrait table below, and a h3, under the admin h2. But their own h2 works.
- As for the project pages for the social medias; well, we should definitely link to them here, but I think the user lists on those page should probably also go on the staff one, as it means you don't have to click the individual project pages for them, and they're still technically staff. Sidenote, I guess a Project:YouTube would work, and could encourage more non-LP uses of the account. Project:Twitch would be useless since we only ever use that for LP.-- Technobliterator TC 23:56, September 2, 2014 (UTC)
- On the fence about Facebook and Twitter, but I don't mind adding that bit to my Staff description along with Drake, Cat, Jeppo and whoever else edits Twitter. And a strong yes to a bot section, a very good idea. Tia-Lewise 18:04, September 3, 2014 (UTC)
- I don't have access to twitter; but, yeah, agreed. Bots shouldn't get an h3 because unlike crats and sysops their job is not to do admin work but to make mass edits (which are sometimes facilitated by the ability to do admin work). Runescape Wiki has Template:Wikia but I don't think we really need it because unlike them, we don't have a small army of automated editors.
- Of course, we could also start using our Twitch account for something other than LP recordings... :DC A T U S E 02:47, September 4, 2014 (UTC)
