User blog:Mroddy/Admin's Report: 08/13

(Now that we have more active admins, any admin who wishes to add something to the blog may edit it in.)

This is a day or so early. however I rather post it today, then have it be late in case I get called out to tutor people again.

Return?
I was away for a "lil"' while. I never stated so, but an oppurtunity came up for me to visit a relative I usually do not have the chance to meet, and so I jumped on it. While I was away I wrote with my lovely relative because she's an amazing frickin' person, who loved to hear me read things. That being said, I will still be heading to Uni in the fall, however my activity will be increasing in the months to come, as I'll need things to keep me occupied. (Has nothing to do with the fact that I'll be the only one in the Uni under drinking age... Nope, not at all!) Zac

Categories
Thank you to Sun and Mabel for keeping the categories clean, and for deleting the pages as needed. That being said, it is assumed that only admins are the ones to "help" the wiki since they have the power to ban/delete. This would be false <//3. The categories: Open, Current, Finished and Deletion, can be added to any page by any user. This means that you all can help the wiki stay alive by making sure this categories get used as often as possible. By making it so that the admins do not need to constantly check these categories for pages that need to be added and/or removed, we can focus on deleting pages, and coming up with fun, new activies for the wiki.

If you're unsure on how to add or remove a category, no worries, it's not very difficult at all! To add a category, just scroll to the bottom of the page, there it will have a smaller rectangle that says "add category". All you need to do is click on that, and type in the category you want to add. To remove a category (You can also add them this way,) just edit the page and on the right tab, there will be a categories heading, just click on the small X to remove the category from the page.

This being said, only add categories to pages that require them.

Open: This is used for camps that still have spots are free for users to sign up for the camp.

Current: This is used for camps that are currently running, by adding this you are saying it is no longer open.

Finished: This is used for camps that have concluded, usually with a winner.

(Candidates for) Deletion: This is used for camps that have gone over a month without activity.

Be responsible please, we do not need categories being spammed when they are in no way needed.

Art Work
The wiki is always a nicer place when users are able to upload their artwork and not have to worry about what others users will say about it. Please remember that the wiki has people of all ranges of ability, tread with care when you make a comment about something someone uploads. Though, it is always helpful to let them know something they can improve on for the next time.

All the while, I feel the wiki is lacking in terms of art in general. So to remedy this I will be doing random art requests here and there, to request please post under the "request" comment below. You can request anything, but I will do what catches my interest.

This being said, thank you everyone, once again for keeping the wiki active and drama-free. If you have any suggestions for things the admins could introduce to the wiki be sure to post below so that we can try and work something out. Z a c A tt a c k     Rawr
