There are a select few members that have been here since the start of DDO wiki and therefor have "Founder" status so to speak, these individuals are deserving of special consideration. To have been considered qualified as a founder, a user must have created and account and made useful contributions (not necessarily edits) in the first year of DDO wiki's existence.
How to Promote a Person in User Groups
DDO wiki VIP Promotion
This user group allows (skipcaptcha) and (auto-patrolled), and kind of substitutes auto-confirmed user and super user altogether. Administrators should promote users to this group as they become tired of patrolling useful edits from the same user, or by the time the user reaches 3-digit useful contributions and proved their willingness to contribute.
System Operator Promotion
As a DDO wiki VIP user starts doing advanced editing such as page move/merge, major cleanup, template tweakage, launching a project etc, existing administrators should consider promoting and letting him "join the club". It can be by request from the user also. It's all case by case basis and common sense thing after all. Two or more administrators' agreement is preferable. Majority vote if any objection.
Administrator Duties
Administrators (system operators and above) are encouraged (but not required) to do the following;
- Edit patrols on a regular-basis (use Special:Patrol)
- Ban spambots and revert their edits.
- Protect/un-protect pages when appropriate.
- Answering newbie questions on Forum:Reference desk as soon as possible (Remember, not everyone bothers to register on ddo.com forums!)
- Finding and deleting unnecessary pages (Special:UncategorizedPages helps)
- Note unnecessary pages are mostly just certain misspellings (Common ones may be useful to improve searches), spam and non-game related content. Not short/unfinished pages you deem unimportant. Short pages should be tagged with help improve, or redirected to a more complete related page. Also use the "What links here" tool to verify a page is not in use, and clear the links to it before you delete it if you are sure it's unnecessary.
- Fixing Double-redirects time to time (Special:DoubleRedirects)
Fansite Board Announcements (ddo.com forums)
To start a thread on that board, Turbine moderators' permission is needed. Currently, Borror0 and Yk49 (yoko5000) have the rights to start such a thread.
List of Current Administrators
Note that, not all administrators are listed on Home Administration section (Template:Home/Administration). One may go inactive, and one who doesn't want attention may choose not to be listed there. Administrators status is not intended to represent extra weight within community. Like all other users, administrators are expected to respect policy and consensus, and act accordingly.
