Administration

→ More administrators?

Hello everyone, after looking around a bit I think that Brickipedia could benefit from one or two more administrators. This forum is also brought on by my attempting to get article comments enabled again, after which we could use more admins. There isn't much else to say, so please just say if you think that we should have a couple more admins or not. If everyone is in agreement, then I will re-open the admin nominations section of the user rights requests page. I think that these should also stay open, even if we oppose every request with the reasoning that we have enough admins. That way we can get the best people, in my opinion. Anyways, please discuss. ajr 01:29, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, we should re-open them (the nominations). Jag 01:37, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

I'd like that.

Bingo! ?(Peace sign) :) -Mariofighter3: Brickfliming now in session! 01:59, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

I think we should have another election :/ That was fun :P --Lewis Cawte (Talk - Contact) 06:41, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

I'm neutral to this, however I think two more admins may be a bit too much...  Samdo994 talk contribs  11:30, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hm, per Samdo about the amount.. I'm going for - one new admin via another admin election. --Lewis Cawte (Talk - Contact) 11:36, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Per Samdo 100%. But, I'm happy for admin requests to be re-opened, however, before that happens, I think we need to have some set rules on what the required net score should be for the right to be granted, and if there are any other things required for a right to be handed out (eg, +5 score total, +3 admin score). Also, a period of not being able to request the right should be put into effect too, so we don't have a user continually requesting admin (or any other) rights. Kind of in a hurry at the moment, so sorry if this doesn't make sense NightblazeSaber 11:48, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Per Samdo and NH ----- It's Magic - Kingcjc 14:10, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, maybe two is too much. For the admin requests, we could have it so that a user must wait two months before being nominated again, or heck, we could move it back to the system of nominations only. ajr 14:25, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

If were going with just the one admin, why open up nominations again? That wouldn't really work because it'd be a race to get nominated and then get votes.. the election would be so much easier to manage these problems. --Lewis Cawte (Talk - Contact) 15:29, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Meh, I'd be fine with that I guess. ajr 15:42, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah. I think two would actually be better because we have gotten so many new people recently. BobaFett

Yes, but rex is back, so i would stick with 1 ----- It's Magic - Kingcjc 16:41, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah I forgot about that. BobaFett

I still think that it would be best to just reopen the admin nominations. Even if we need to oppose every request by the fact that we have enough administrators, then we can get the best people for admin without needing to open a forum for this every time. I realize that we have the patroller group, which is essentially a "sub-admin", but without any counter-vandalism tools. That's what I intended. However, I don't think that it would hurt to have a few more people with those tools. There is no limit to the number of administrators that we have, unless you consider adminship to be some position of "power", which it shouldn't be (beyond the tools). ajr 23:34, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Ajraddatz has a point. BobaFett

Ajr has no point :P We don't need loads more admins, we have enough people to hit the few extra buttons every know and again, vandalism and spam is still dealt with pretty quickly. Also, BF2, please start indenting your comments :/ --Lewis Cawte (Talk - Contact) 07:23, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Fine Lcawte...also it's now and then, not know and then. And those buttons aren't always being pushed quickly enough.

Sorry for the absence. My house is selling, so I'm really busy, but yeah! Some of our admins aren't even active anymore! GG 360 12:44, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

There should be one more administrator one the wiki,so I agree.Dionnefamily 14:30, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

I don't see how anyone can push the buttons any quicker. We have admins from different places and around at different times. Unless your saying we choose a candidate from Australia to get that time zone covered.... ----- It's Magic - Kingcjc 16:38, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

If you want that then it's not an election, it's just saying here Gladiatoring, be an admin. BobaFett

 Talk  MOCPages Group (Click)  16:39, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Then how do we make it quicker to press the buttons? The fact is, I bet that an admin checks at least what, every 2 hours. Its not like its sitting their for weeks... ----- It's Magic - Kingcjc 16:49, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

It's the school year that's a problem. And yes some do sit there for weeks. During the school year, when people are busy a large portion of the day, it makes more sense to have another admin who can be on at different times. BobaFett
