'''Editor in Chief''': I feel that, since it's a joint project with the Keyhole, that it should be one person from each site. That's my thoughts on that. It seems that the Editor in Chiefs have a lot of work, and some of it might not necessarily belong to them. Perhaps in some of the duties you highlighted, they should instead be in charge of making sure the work is done (for example, the Editors in Chief shouldn't ''have'' to alter codes or write the Round Room summary, but rather make sure that who ever knows how to has done it). All-in-all, though, the Editors-in-Chief seem like pretty important and needed people to get the magazine finalized. As far as the mailbox goes, it seems we're in a little snag at the moment, but we have an alternative until we determine if we need to make a new one or not. | '''Editor in Chief''': I feel that, since it's a joint project with the Keyhole, that it should be one person from each site.

*'''Location''': I already made [[KHWiki:Magazine|this]] and [[KHWiki:Magazine/Journalist Spot|this]] for the KHWiki and the template page will be made later. We should probably transfer the template to the Keyhole a week before release in case there's any new issues or bugs that need fixing. | |||
*'''The Arenas''': My mindset is that the Station of Awakening is enough motivation to visit the arenas. In my mind, a reader will look at the Station of Awakening and think "this discussion is pretty interesting, I want to go see more stuff like this" so then we'll invite them to the arenas in the form of the banner. The rest seems kinda superficial to me and they detract from the overall neatness and quality of the page. I do think the banner should include the titles "Mirage Arena" and "The Underdrome", though, and we should have a sentence below saying something like "For more heated debate, visit our two tournament arenas...". | |||
*'''Station of Awakening''': This should be moved up and then the title "Station of Awakening" should be removed so it's actually merged with "The Coliseum" since that's the page name. There's no need to have a separate name when there's no other sections to the page. | |||
*'''Comments''': If we do this, we need to agree on a few things. Should it require registered users (I think "yes")? Should it require a certain number of edits (I think "no")? Is it a problem if the comments will be split with two separate comment pages on the two different Wikis. | |||
*'''Editors in Chief''': Honestly, I think we no longer require a designated "Editor in Chief" and I know that I'm the one who first created that job title. From what I've seen, it's more effective (and heartening) to use discussion and cooperation to solve issues rather than a single person calling the shots. Here's how we can solve each job requirement: | |||
#Using the "Journalist Spot", people submit their work and other people feedback and comment on it so there's no need to have a single, one person checking on it. Another part to the Journalist Spot is people offer ideas so if someone isn't "on track", they can get inspiration from the ideas or anyone can help them out. | |||
#If there is an unassigned section, it's up to the entire community to figure out a way to solve the problem. It's no good laying down that heavy responsibility to a single person. | |||
#Firstly, the email has been retrieved! The address is "KingdomHeartsWikiBcrat@gmail.com" and any admin (KHWiki or the Keyhole) can get the password off [[User:Erry|Erry]]. Secondly, I don't think it's necessary that everyone sends their work to be checked via email in a secretive, hidden manner. I believe it's important that the drafts are reviewed by the rest of the community so there's a variety of feedback, which will most likely be far more constructive. I don't think the average spectator goes around looking at peoples's userspace so it doesn't detract from the publicity we get from the final product. And besides, the magazine alone can bag us some new readers, visitors and editors, but the Journalist Spot -the magazine writing- is a reason for the new editors to stay, some of which may potentially stick around long enough to become long-term regulars, which is the important thing. Speaking of which, like how we have for the Trinity Archives, MA and Featured Content, should we have a total mainspace edit requirement for the Journalist Spot? Hopefully, that'd offer some motivation for new editors to actually get involved in wiki work first. | |||
#Readying the issue for release '''is''' something that can't be done communally. But that wouldn't be for an "Editor in Chief"; it more fits the job description of a "Publisher". Even still, the publisher can change each issue and would just be a matter of someone capable saying "Yeah, I'll do this quarter's issue" a few days before release. | |||
#Proof-reading is included when people review submitted works at the Journalist Spot. | |||
#Selection can be done by discussing and voting at the Journalist Spot. | |||
#Anyone can do talk page promotion. It'd just be the quickest who does it first. :P | |||
#Coding issues can be solved by asking anyone who knows how to fix the problem. | |||
#The contents page can be written by the Publisher too, I guess. | |||
#On the journalist spot, people will feedback and tell people whether they should add more images or how they should add more images. | |||
#The Round Room summary is a job best suited for the podcast team since they're the most knowledgeable on the subject. | |||
#It's up to the admins who have access to the email account to look at the answers and sort out the awards and medals. | |||
#Everyone has ''some'' badass inside them! :P | |||
