Revision as of 00:35, 28 August 2006

From RealCTY, the online community of people who don't know the difference between acronyms, initialisms, and expansions.

Announcements

  Failure to obey general editing procedure will result in account warnings, and possible
  bannage, especially when making stub pages or uncategorized pages.  Creating minimalist pages
  or making disruptive edits is a hassle to change, delete, revise, etc.

New Admins!

Based on the contributional history of some individuals in the RealCTY community, and the fact that most of the community will have to face the upcoming start of school (which directly affects my ability to be here every waking moment,), I have decided to appoint three new admins: Users Jeff Sachs, JW, and Sammka have been given sysop rights. This basically means that the three of you may now delete pages and ban users.

I don't ask any of you to devote any exorbitant amount of time to the site. However, I do ask that, whenever you do have the time, check in on things to delete spam, relocated poorly placed pages, etc. Basically, follow these general guidelines:

  • If redirect pages seem unnecessary (e.g., Egyptian rat Screw vs. Egyptian Rat Screw), delete the redirect page, and change the links on the site that lead to that page to the actual page.
  • If a page is poorly named, move it to a new title, and then delete the old page, except in the cases where redirect pages would be useful (again, different spellings of ERS, etc.). Again, manually alter links on other pages.
  • If pages are uncategorized, place them in all applicable categories; check a similar page for an example.
  • If stubs are created, either:
    • move them into the Lexicon; or
    • merge them with the proper page, or merge several stubs into a page series (e.g., "Places:" or games relevant to the Cult of Godzilla).
  • Check the RealCTY:Policy page for general guidelines on banning users; please place the info on non-porn bannages on the RealCTY:Community Portal page.
  • Reformat things that need reformatting (e.g., alphabetizing the Lexicon, fixing "br" tags when unnecessary or improperly used, etc.).

Otherwise, use your own judgment; it's been good so far.

If any of you would really rather not be an admin, please tell me. If anybody has any reasons why they think these people shouldn't be admins, please tell me. If anyone else would like to be an admin, please tell me. Of course, feel free to talk to me about nothing; that would make me equally (if not more) happy. 

  All other announcements have been moved into the Help:Editing page.  Please read them.

Userpages

Userpages are meant for the pages of users. If you want to create a page about a person, that's fine, but there are two restrictions:

  1. If you are making a page about yourself, create an account and put your info on your userpage if possible. Do not make an article about you if you have an account. Also, don't redirect an article with your name to your userpage; just change all existing links to re-link to your userpage.
  2. If you are making a page about somebody else, do not give the title the prefix "User:". This is completely unnecessary, and also disrupts the naming system, especially since it leads to the belief in nonexistant users, as well as causing possible problems if a user creates an account under that name.
