DDO wiki talk:Administrators' noticeboard

General Discussion
shouldn't this be all under DDOwiki namespace? --yoko5000 (Contributions • Message) 06:50, April 2, 2014 (EDT)
 * That's one option, another might be forum and I believe half of the environment can be hidden removed from the wiki text of the page that way. I'm mostly curious as to why we need to fragment this all into so many tabs, I mean there are only  administrators,  active users, and  total editors...

 * , I'm not sure why I didn't initially think about putting in the DDO wiki namespace. I have moved all of the pages over there now. , this is just the initial layout that I had brainstormed.  I am trying to avoid having it be one VERY long page that editors and admins have to sort through to try and find any new and/or relevant information to act/work on.  I want to keep it as is for the moment, but I will likely combine everything involving requests of some sort into one "Requests" tab and have fixed headings that users/editors/admins can post under.  Additional tabs could be added later on down the line if a need is identified, or similarly, tabs could be removed and merged with other like tabs.
 * My main vision for this noticeboard is not to have massively long entries with long debates/conversations. It's going to be an organized location where users (speaking universally, regardless of position on the wiki) can post concerns, requests for various administrative tasks to be done, a place for admins to vote on multiple issues in one central location.  I understand that using one of the forums might have been more ideal in some aspects, but i know personally, when I go through the forums here, it can be difficult to find things at times.  -- Ague (Talk · Contribs · Blocks · Deletions · Imports · Patrols · Page Moves · Page Protects · User Merges · User Rights) 16:25, April 2, 2014 (EDT)
 * So I made some edits and changes to the noticeboard. I feel it is ready to be used in its current state.  It will likely be molded and shaped as time goes on, which is exactly what i hope it will do.  If anyone has any questions or suggestions just make it known.  I would like to add this to the Side Bar navigation, so if nobody objects, then I'll go ahead and place it there tomorrow.  Please feel free to edit and update the General page as needed.  I'm going to work on it a little bit more and try to make it look all shiny and stuff.  -- Ague (Talk · Contribs · Blocks · Deletions · Imports · Patrols · Page Moves · Page Protects · User Merges · User Rights) 15:43, April 3, 2014 (EDT)
 * I still think this should be set up as a new forum section in the forum space. It would be so much easier to manage and control that way with less opportunity for error. ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 10:51, April 9, 2014 (EDT)

Visibility

 * Tech, if this was only showed to just admins, it would sort of defeat the purpose of being a central location for wiki users and/or editors to come to to get things brought to the attention of the admins. Perhaps, maybe Super User and above with restricted editing for SU and above as well.  I think that would be good considering that a good chunk the highly active editors have SU rights.  What do you think?  But as far as the link showing up in the Sidebar only for certain people wouldn't work per-se.  They would still be able to view it via hotlink, Recent Changes, etc...  -- Ague (Talk · Contribs · Blocks · Deletions · Imports · Patrols · Page Moves · Page Protects · User Merges · User Rights) 10:10, April 9, 2014 (EDT)
 * Yeah. I was thinking something specific, but I don't remember exactly what it was right now. I'll post back when and if I remember. ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 10:52, April 9, 2014 (EDT)
