Forum:New Administrators 2011/New Admins Discussion

Well, we are now admins. I made this forum for us to discuss who should be admins and who should be bureaucrats. I'm also going to invite Angel to the forum so she can explain the differences in responsibilities and whatnot between admins and bureaucrats.DancePowderer 06:18, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

I don't mind just being an Admin. A Bearu position should probably go to the more senior editors anyway. I will however admit to wanting to change the site design a bit. The current one is killing me. Nothing fancy, but just something that says "This is a ONE PIECE wiki." -- YazzyDream  08:36, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

I was thinking the same thing about the bureaucrat positions. We'll have to see if Yatanogarasu and MasterDeva are ok with it.DancePowderer 14:14, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

I expressed from the beginning that I wanted to help as a secondary administrator or to focus mainly on maintance tasks; it was not my intention to become a bureaucrat, however, if you all feel the same about it I'd gladly do it. Maybe we should wait until Yatanogarasu and Hawk have gathered before starting to go through the details of the matter. MasterDeva 17:16, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

I know what a bureaucrat and Admin are, but can't explain. On another wikia I am in bureacrat role and there is a page we can borrow from there for here;

Don't know if it helps. One-Winged Hawk 23:26, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Well, thanks for choosing me as admin. I'm totally ready for that. Don't known too much about bureaucrat: like, are they higher in ranking and have more responsibilities or something? Yatanogarasu 01:43, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

First off, thank you, Angel. Those links were very helpful. Second, it appears that admins and bureaucrats are the same job, but bureaucrats can revoke admin status if necessary, make other users into bureaucrats, and control rollback privileges, which we don't use too much, if at all. Basically, it wouldn't matter who does what, just know that two of the users will technically have power over the other two, not that anyone is about to go mad with power. That is why I agreed with Yazzy that MasterDeva and Yatanogarasu should be bureaucrats. In the big picture, you two have more seniority, so it would be natural for you two to have the higher positions. However, that doesn't have to be the case. If anyone has a position they want over another, they should state it. I personally do not care if I'm a bureaucrat or admin. I'm not sure how we contact wikia to become admins, but I can find out. I know an admin on another wikia who's done it a few times. Anyway, we should discuss who should do what.DancePowderer 02:00, January 27, 2011 (UTC)
