User blog:Bagwis/On Wiki Moderation

It has been almost a week since I asked on Discord our current wiki manager, ReverieCode, on the standard process of gaining a Bureaucrat role in the Fandom given that most of the users that has that role are either inactive or missing-in-action. As a respect to our head admin, Sulina, I've sent a message to his wall confirming about this matter. No reply was provided on his end yet.

That query is important since it's a necessary step to further put things into place as we're both gaining traction on wiki activity due to new editors since last season and that the number of people who are accessing the site are on all-time peak whenever a new light novel volume is being released.

Although basically a person with a Bureaucrat role only doesn't have administrative powers like sysop, they have the highest power in Fandom's local groups since they can promote, demote, and revoke any local roles to any editors (including themselves). It is true that we have three active sysops (admins) in the English Wiki, and fortunately at least one for each interlingual sister wiki sites; however, the main wiki is kinda lacking since we can't really do anything about promoting new members into admins as we're only limited to promoting someone into content and discussion moderators.

While we're on this topic, we would like to show transparency on group plans for the future.


 * User:Xalic and User:Chaka12 last edited around May 2017 and there's no sign of them returning. We are planning to demote them from their current role.
 * User:Sulina is on an unknown status but has shown signs of activity since last year but not as frequently as two years ago. We shall be retaining his role since we need him the most for the site redesign.
 * User:Lattesmc, User:Quandlm, and User:Freak1234 will be my co-bureaucrat and admin users.
 * The post for one to two slots on admin and three to five slots for content moderators is still open. I personally have a list in mind but we would like those users to present themselves voluntarily as we don't really like appointing anyone out of their inconvenience. It is highly recommended that a user has been consistently editing for more than a month as of this blog's posting. Users who are interested must present their deeds either via commenting here or by posting a message at #school-database in our Discord server. Knowledge regarding coding is not required since anything programming-related can be learned through experiencing trial and error.

This wraps up what we have in mind and we hope you express your honest opinion regarding this matter.
