Fairy Tail Wiki talk:Policy & Standards Council/Archive

Rollback users?
I have seen that there are just 2 rollback users here. In Avatar Wiki, we have 20+ rollbacks (myself included) but we don't need that much here as the wiki is not very big here. I just feel that we could have atleast 7-8 rollbacks who could handle a situation for which we have to wait for more time to get solved.

For doing so, we can open a requests for rollback rights which also be open to nominations. I don't think a vote is needed for it. In addition to this, there are several things that I would like to change here. Forums need to be used and the images need to be reduced. The pages to images ratio is really laughable with it being almost 1:4! Policy needs to be written. 12:29, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

No need. The Fairy Tail Wiki, as you've said, isn't humongous so we don't need that many rollback users. I'm on most of the day, and when I'm not Rauleli, jabberjay, or B j usually catches any vandalism. Also there is the fact that we don't really have much vandalism on our site so 7-8 Rollback users is far too much. In order to have rollback you must be on the P&S Council, and users can just apply on the P&S Council Page.

I agree with you about Forums, but Forums are indeed used here. Whenever I catch off topic things on Talk Pages I move them to an appropriate Forums. Also, anytime I want to discuss a major change with the community I field it in a forum. We have policies in place that say Images must be used to be on the site and we are well aware of the image problem. There are currently over 1000 unused files and i'm handling the deletion of them, although it is taking me longer than I'd hoped.

Image Galleries
Hey you guys, I need help with these Image Galleries. I need every character to have an image gallery, and it should be formatted like Mirajane's Image Gallery. And once the gallery is done it needs to be placed here, and every time a new correctly rationaled and licensed image is uploaded it needs to be placed in the appropriate gallery or put here. I was hoping we could get this done as quickly as possible and in an orderly fashion.

I'll help out after I finish with Chapter 244, just want to ask if we are going to put a caption after every pic?

Thanks, and yeah we are.

I'll help out too after I get home from the dentist which should only take half an hour, since the dentist is just two streets away.  02:21, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Great, thanks to you both.

Uhmm. How do we start here? Just add the pictures that have been categorized? {{User:B j/Sig|02:31, July 27, 2011 (UTC)]}

I would recommend creating the page, then going to the characters page and get all images that are on the article and paste them onto the page. Then go to Category:Images of whoever and then get all those images and put them on the page as well. If you notice any duplicates mark them for deletion.

Okay. Thanks. Good thing I have this much free time since there's a storm here.

Lucky me ^_^.

Should we include Manga Covers and the pictures that are meant to be their mugshots??

Yup.

Like this?

Sorry, I wish I could, but I've got a few other things going and for the next few days I'll still be active but not as much as I ussually am. 03:02, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

@B j, yep, except on Mirajane's page, I put that the widths should be 160, that can be deleted. @Rauleli, it's cool we should be able to handle it.

Like that?

Yes.

I can't help but think Bj and I live in the same country because there is a storm here as well, so no classes, lol. Anyway, I'll get started.  03:30, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

I live in the Philippines. How about you?

I was right. Philippines as well.  03:43, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

I'll work on the others later, my internet slowed down.

Hey guys, is it okay if I just go around the site and add categories to the images? Since I can't create the pages at the moment...

I finished the adding categorized images on Cana's Image Gallery. Is it right or are the links unnecessary?  04:10, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

@jabberjay, ok. @B j, the links are fine.

Aldarinor Nomination
I would like to nominate Aldarinor. He is a loyal contributor to the wiki, while talking to him he revealed that he checks recent edits for vandalism and his edits are very descriptive.

I am the nominator. 20:49, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

He's been extremely helpful to the site. I think he'd make a great addition.

I agree. He's a good member and his edits are really helpful to the site articles. 04:42, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

In my opinion, people that are nominated for this position should be at least been on and edit the site for at least three month. Two month may be a bit too early for this position. No offense, Aldarinor, but I would like to wait for a bit longer before I make my decision. Chaos Knight -{E-mail}  21:20, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

If this discussion is still open, I support Aldarinor. He has been helpful and is a great addition to the wiki.

Highlights
How do you guys like the highlights implemented for Council and Admins (with custom sig colors). If you can't see it, try doing a hard refresh.

where are you supposed to see it? Wiki activity? Recent Changes? 20:59, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

It'll show up in both. It makes a link to a users username a certain color. For example I see any link to your userpage in red because that's the color I associate you with and so I set you as red in my global.css. it might take a while to show up.

Oh, I see it. Awesome! 21:06, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Yep, it can be used for multiple purposes. To keep track of editors whose edits you don't trust and want to check immediately. And it can be used to see when the last time an admin or rollback user has edited. I've been using it for a while, and figured that I'd see how you guys like it. Of course it's only on a trial basis. As I have to see how everyone else feels about it.

Do you have any other colors in mind Raulelina?

Well, dark red and black are already taken so no. Just leave it as it is then. 21:19, September 19, 2011 (UTC) Well, I like it, it just makes me look like a dead link. 21:12, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Pink! I LOVE IT!... Not really. I can's see it yet though. 21:28, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Lol, the pink was for Ishthak, but you can have it if you really want it.

Nope I'll take the dark red. 21:32, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Real men wear pink, but whateva i'll give you your dark red.

Thx 21:39, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Now it looks even worst. How about bringing it back to red or MidnightBlue? Please 21:49, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Nope, I like it and so your stuck with it! Jk...chaning it to MB.

Thanks. That's why we love you Rai, you do anything for us no matter how stupid it is! 21:54, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

You guys love me?.........FUCK ALL OF YOU!! Sorry, i'm not used to being complimented, I didn't know how to react.

SUPER AWESOME! Thanks! That green suits me just fine! =D =D =D

Men, I've been in the Council for just some hours and you've already granted me a super exclusive and awesome privilege... I love ya guys xD (How wil Master Jakuho react? Will he tell us to fuck again? We'll discover it in the next, exciting episode xD)

Though I feel a little bit awkward and sorry for the other editors who aren't given such chance... :P

-- 13:44, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

WOOOOW. I got stuck in school doing schoolwork and attending to my extra-curriculars from 6AM until 8PM, then I come home and see a customized link. What do I think? IT'S THE BEST THING EVER. Day = made. Thanks! 13:29, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

I've had time to calm and I won't yell again... maybe. Glad you like it JJ (i'm calling you this now, you cant refuse!!).

Images
From now on, all images uploaded must have a Fair Use Raionale unless it's fanart. If you guys see any images like that from this day forward tag them for deletion and warn the uploader.

Redirects
O, and by the way. Any time a Manga stream chapter misspells a character name or introduces a term like "Tenma" make a redirect to the correct character or page. The reason being is that anywhere from one hundred to two thousand people will search for the incorrect name. For example "Tenma" has been searched for exactly 1975 times (maybe more now). I know this because of a wiki feature that I use.

Garyness
So, I was thinking about possibly creating a 5th seat for the policy and standard's council and letting Garyness occupy it. The reason that I only created 4 seats initially was because I didn't honestly think that any good users besides Rauleli would arise, but then -jay came, then B j and then DaRinor. I think he'd be a good addition to the council as he does a good amount of work on the site and he's been here longer than me. So what do you guys think. Should a fifth seat be created and should Garyness occupy it? I'm limiting this vote to only P&S Council members since it's not just the induction of a new member, but it's changing the structure of you guys' organization. Please start your vote below.

What a coincidence! Just yesterday, I was thinking of this very same idea! (or at least let Rauleli be an admin to open up a spot for Garyness. jay would be the chairman, I'll be second seat, Aldarinor will be third seat, and Garyness would be fourth!) If everyone else agrees, I'm all for it! 03:13, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Great minds think alike. I have actually been considering Rauleli for Adminship for a long while, but we already have 5 admins meaning we have no open slots. Although two aren't really contributing much... Which is why I was thinking of opening up a community vote to decide 3 things. 1. What's an appropriate amount of admins to have on our wiki, 2. Which admins will keep their position as admins on our wiki and 3. If some of our admins lose their administrative power, who will replace them. We can discuss that at an appropriate forum after this vote is finished if you guys want to. Right now, we don't want to create a discussion in a discussion.


 * That's a great idea! I did notice recently that 2 of the 5 admins haven't really been contributing. If I was to rank the admins it would be: 1) IamJakuhoRaikoben 2) Ishthak 3) ChaosKnight 4) Retro7 5) Shock Dragoon Retro mainly adds summaries to arc pages while Shock only joins during discussions. 03:31, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Then it's settled. When we finish this up, I'll open up a forum.

I think that having Garyness as a council member would be a awesomeistic terrifically great idea. He is very helpful. 19:32, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Despite having some really weird character preferences (he's by no means the only one around here, though...) Gary is a great editor, and, in addition, he's been around here for longer than me. If a Fifth Seat were to be created, I think he'd be the rightful owner of that place.

However, no one dares to take the colour green. THAT'S MY SIGNATURE COLOUR!!!

-- 13:11, October 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Garyness' siganture is orange, so don't worry, he won't take your color. 13:14, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

He's been here a long time plus he's a really good and helpful editor. I don't see why not. 13:59, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I'll create the fifth seat and update Nessie's user rights. I'll also get to work on figuring out how I want the forum to work. @DaRinor says the guy who likes Macao...

That "he's by no means the only one around here" was meant SPECIFICALLY for you, Guild Master...

-- 23:45, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

There's no need to be spiteful because my favorite characters are more epic than yours.

If you say so...

-- 15:01, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

My wish
I wish I could be one of the council as well... 07:07,11/10/2011

Too early. 07:15, November 10, 2011 (UTC)
