Looking for Wiki "Super Editors" https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=1557.msg13991#msg13991
« on: December 23, 2009, 06:23:09 am »
I'm going to appoint a couple of members "Super Editors" of this new wiki. Super Editors are people who run the wiki and have freedom to basically do whatever they want with it. I'm not planning on micro managing this project, and once the things start rolling, I'm moving back to the forum side of things, letting Super Editors steer the boat.

I'm looking for these qualities:
- you are an active and known member of this community
- you are motivated
- you want to actively add more content to wiki
- you want to make wiki easier and more efficient to use
- you can work independently, instead of being a "do-what-you-are-told-and-nothing-more" guy
- you want a cool custom title on your forum profile

You don't need any coding experience or anything like that. We use Wordpress so if you know how to use MS Word, you know how to use this wiki. Knowing something about web design and usability is a bonus but not required.

Like I've said before, this "new wiki" is not official yet, but the goal is to make it as perfect as possible so that everyone wants to get rid of that Wikia version we have now.

PM me if you are interested.

I assume this thread is meant to be locked?

Super Editors... Me, Chriskang... I'm curious, but how many more people do you need?
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

You assume wrong.

It all depends on how much work you and chriskang want to do. Actually chriskang hasn't said anything about this yet (he's still on holiday I think). Who knows maybe he wants to concentrate on doing Elements especially since he's already done the wiki once? We'll have to ask him.

I don't care how many people run it as long as everything goes smoothly. Usually in projects like this one, optimal number is 3 people. If you have more than that, things might become too complicated. If you two think you don't need any more help, we can go with that.

I definitely cannot manage the entire Wiki by myself. Sure, I can go there every day, but I don't have that much time. 2 more super editors sound good.

I assumed this thread should be locked because you said "PM me if you're interested"...

BTW, you haven't answered my PM yet. What do we do with the n00b articles? We can't just delete them. But my solution is this: you must have a registered account to edit anything. This prevents random anonymous n00bs from creating useless articles, such as "my deck 1 shortswrd 17 erthpillrs 6 garboid 6 shreikr sry i wrote this quikly".

Yeah, sorry about that. I actually wrote that reply (a long one) and sent it. Or thought I did. I just checked my sent mail and you are right, I haven't replied to you, so I failed in that sending somehow.

I'll just reply here because there's nothing secret about it.

There's not much we can do about "n00b" articles. I think deleting them would be a bad idea because everyone has the right to post to wiki and it's not always ours to decide what post is good and what is garbage. Of course if it's as bad as in your example there, then Super Editors can just remove it.

Also we have this star rating system which means that people can rate articles from 1-5. This way all the semi-"n00B" articles will get a bad score and people can just ignore them.

And to answer to your other question, yes, you can lock posts. Basically you can do anything you can do in a regular wiki and much much more.

Hmm... Star rating systems could be good. Let the people decide if the article is good or not.

And yes, I actually have seen an article in the current Wiki exactly like the example I gave. It was something like this: "[article title] **************** sry i wrote this quickly".

I also updated the Wikia wiki with the same information

There are no Super Editors yet because I haven't made that usergroup. I'll do it in the next couple of days.

Thanks everyone for helping with wiki.

Can I join please? I'm relatively new to elements but I have played mtg a lot in the past and I do have some experience in web design. I'm also hard working and honest.

I am not exactly well known, or known at all for that matter.  But I have a decent while on Elements though I sucked for awhile.  I also have done a small amount of work on other wiki's.  Mainly Remnants of Sky Stone.
