KHWiki talk:Staff

Update

Slight update, see here. The only thing not there that would be is the actual staff tables, only for the sake of space, but it would go where they currently on this page. Thoughts? KeybladeSpyMaster 05:48, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Looks good. But this is the project page for detailing information regarding the staff members and their responsibilities, right? In regards to having sections that details how the wiki deals with vandalism disagreements, and etc., I think they should be moved to KHWiki:Policy (once it's created) and sub-sections should be created detailing specifics policies (and linking to to those with their own pages), such general policies that applies to all users, Videos Policy, Image Policy, Deletion Policy, Blocking/Banning Policy, and et cetera. I can't explain it very well, but I do want to make a rough draft of what I have in mind later down the road.--NinjaSheik 20:34, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Right, of course. All the stuff after "KHWiki:Staff Manual" would actually replace the set of pages currently found in KHWiki:Administrators. I've proposed those changes in the talk page. I just combined it all as one page to save space (since I had a lot of things I was writing drafts for at the time). I've always been in favor of a KHWiki:Policy page to be created as a general hub for all the policy pages on the wiki, too, though. KeybladeSpyMaster 05:57, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Posting my comments on this and for the KHW:Administrators page: How you have things split up looks good to me. In regards to this staff manual, this was always something BebopKate/TNE/Kryten (?)/Yuan/whoever else from "the old days" tried getting into motion. There may be more information in the userspace on such material- not sure. Xion4ever 00:39, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Update 2

With KrytenKoro leaving the KHWiki and Neumannz being MIA for a year now, I think the time is as good as any to talk about staff and revising it. The community has talked about this in the past, but since we're so busy in RL and updating articles on the mainspace, we never gotten quite to it. While I wanted to wait until it was properly discussed, Porplemontage promoted me to bcrat. From our existing pool of active users/staff members, I think it's time for the community to reelect new staff members since so many users are inactive. I've been mean to bring this, but as KeybladeSpyMaster‎ was also an admin before leaving due to RL circumstances, and seeing as KSM has returned and has been consistently editing since his return and his excellent conduct, I've been meaning to request that he'll be reinstated as an admin.--NinjaSheik 23:08, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

I agree that we should consider new staff elections. I won't count on me, because that'll be up to everyone else, but we definitely need people that will be here or can be here if needed. If we're considering an additional bureaucrat (I think we should regardless of whether or not Neumannz chooses to stay as one), I would suggest TheSilentHero, who has done excellent work on this wiki and has especially helped fight some users who think spamming or sockpuppetry is okay.

EDIT: Also, may I suggest once this discussion is over, that we archive this talk page. KeybladeSpyMaster

I agree that KSM should get his admin status back. He's been doing a lot of stuff for the wiki since he became active again. As for the bureaucrat, Porple said he usually stays out of staff decisions, and I think he made NinjaSheik a bureaucrat, so we have at least one active bureaucrat. Like she said, we'd normally do this after discussing, so I'd like to officially nominate NinjaSheik as the new bureaucrat. She is the most active out of the current admins, and edits practically every day, so I think she would be the best option for bureaucrat. On the messenger chat, Kryten suggested that Neumannz should consider demoting himself due to inactivity, and he said he'll consider, so do we want to wait on what he decides, or appoint another bureaucrat, regardless of what he chooses?

It's been brought up on the wiki's Discord that this topic be discussed in a Roundtable meeting. I wanted to bring this out to this discussion so everyone knows and we can decide whether or not we could do this and when. And where, with the wiki's Discord now hosting a lot of the members of the wiki. As for nominations, I back NinjaSheik's nomination for bureaucrat, and like I said, I think regardless of what Neumannz chooses, it might be good to have a third bureaucrat for now.

I've archived the talk page. Honestly, there's a lot of talk pages that needs to be archived on the wiki, but I digress.

Neumz hasn't made a mainspace edit since Jan. 2017, so he's MIA for over a year. That being the case, I think it's only polite to contact him and get solid confirmation that he's unable to come onto the KHWiki on a consistent basis. If he doesn't answer within a week, then I think he should get demoted. I'm sure, like all fans, they love to contribute when they can, but being a staff members means being around—not every day, of course, but on a regular basis of some kind. As for nominations, I nominate TheSilentHero and ShardofTruth for bcrat status, and as I mentioned before, KSM should be reinstated as an admin. Both TSH and SoT are active, consistent users who contribute to the KHWiki, and both already have admin rights. I don't know if a third bcract is necessary since most of there active users here are already admins, but I support whatever decisions the community makes.--NinjaSheik 21:49, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
