Title: Wiki!
Post by: Eluvatar on June 27, 2014, 07:54:39 PM: We have a Wiki (http://wiki.taijitu.org/wiki)!

It's even up to date, code-wise.

However, there is a licensing (http://forum.taijitu.org/general-discussion/the-wiki-and-gfdl/) issue we should take care of.

Also, we should figure out administration of it. Our laws tend to be protected pages, on it, which means that an administrator is needed to update them when they are changed. Here's the current list (http://wiki.taijitu.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=&group=sysop&limit=50):

The bureaucrats are those persons empowered to change people into administrators or bureaucrats. The administrators are empowered to protect / unprotect pages etc. A full listing of powers is available here (http://wiki.taijitu.org/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights).

NB: Pragmia is Gulliver's account.

Akka-Wakka and Korinn haven't been seen around in... ages, so they probably shouldn't have administrator powers. Even if we don't remove them, they can't be expected to help us. That leaves us with 4 reachable wiki admins, three of whom can be expected to have at least somewhat correlated absences.

Who else would be willing to take the responsibility? (And I think we would expect it to be treated responsibly).

Post by: Delfos on June 27, 2014, 08:42:54 PM: I'm willing to contribute but not as admin, since Lapeirousia has been contributing on the wiki, if he wants it'd be nice to have an active member there.

Other than that, I think there's too many admins already, no need to replace inactive ones, just eliminate!

Post by: Khem on September 05, 2014, 06:19:58 PM: I would like admin privileges on the wiki. So as to delete things like:

Post by: Myroria on September 09, 2014, 02:12:48 PM: Al'Khem - I was going to make you an administrator but apparently I don't have the privileges for that as I'm not a bureaucrat. We'll have to wait for Eluvatar or Funkadelia. I also updated the main page!

Post by: Khem on October 12, 2014, 06:54:51 PM: :D We got it figured out. Annihilating spam is good.

Post by: Eluvatar on October 12, 2014, 07:03:29 PM: I suppose this is the right thread.

Added a wiki link to the top level menu as Delfos was asking for.

Post by: Khem on October 12, 2014, 07:31:31 PM: Could we set something up so a user needs to be given permission of a sysop to post? Would cut down on the spam if not the spammer accounts.
