The BIONICLE Wiki talk:Wiki Jobs

So, I thought up a few that we don't have: somebody operating the News template (It seems kinda willy-nilly right now) and someone taking care of redlinks. The News one is a small responsibility, but the redlink one will be rather hefty (at least in the beginning). So, should we split them among some of the admins that don't have many responsibilities right now, or open voting for another admin (Who just may end up being Makao)? - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 23:05, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I personally think the jobs thing is getting out of hand, we have enough as it is. We don't really need a job for redlinks, that's just silly. It's like apointing someone to create pages for all the deadlinks, which is pointless because it gives editors something to do when they're bored. But I agree about the news thing. Auserv is our Chronicler, so it should be his job already. We have to include the community more, making more and more jobs is not going to help much. Especially when all those jobs can only be taken by admins. When I joined a year ago, editing was fun because I always found something to do, no one told me that I can't help out here, or edit this a little. Bioniclepedia is too admin exclusive right now, we make it look like you need to at least be a sysop before you can do anything. I think the focus of our attention should go back to monitoring for vandals, and more importently, edit anything that needs editing. Adding articles to the right catagories, keeping older ones looking like they belong in the Matoran universe, and making the new ones look like the Bara Magna junk for next year. If I were just a normal user right now, I would probably be having loads of fun adding older articles to the Matoran Universe catagory before 09 hits us. A template would help too, like one that says something like "The subject of this article does not involve the current Bionicle storyline." I am nearing my 3,000 edit pretty soon, I didn't get this far by following wiki jobs, I didn't even pay any attention to the Toa page upgrade we were doing back then. Legodude has over 4,000 contribs, I'm sure he was a hard worker back in the day. I have the second largest amount of contribs on this wiki, and I've only been here for 11 months. If we really focus on what we need to, Bioniclepedia will grow so fast we'll start using the welcome template the way we were this summer.


 * So that's my opinion. And I'm sorry Daiku, I didn't mean to make your idea sound stupid. It was a good one, I just don't think it's one we need at the moment. Panaka  lego  01:48, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
