{{user|Ixo}} Avid supporter, OLPC Wiki watcher/maintainer, support-gang, grassroots, developer, and repair location (once application process is decided). Maintains over 8 Wikis weekly: examples: http://aobn.org http://relectronics.org/wiki http://notes.homelinux.org http://resume.homelinux.org also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:IainDavidson Wikipedian]. Other skills - graphic designer, photographer, programmer in 6+ languages.. :) |

Reasons for request: |
|||
* So I can stop wiki spam, such as [[Special:Contributions/61.130.108.194]].. instead of just being able to edit them out. |
|||
* Clean up '''delete''', '''deletere''' and empty wiki pages. |
|||
* Protect 'core wiki pages' and '''/translate''' from spam and other non-suspecting web surfers. |

|||
*: Question: when should pages be protected, and how do you test for deletability when someone tags a page with delete or deletere? --[[User:Sj|Sj]] [[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]] |
|||
**: ''A:'' '''protect''':I would only protect/unprotect pages, if I were instructed/authorizied to make changes. If heavily used 'for public' pages, with mostly static information... are getting hit by vandels or spam, and causing confusion/interference with functon. I might protect the page, and then let Sysops (You/others?), know what I did and why. |
|||
**: ''A:'' '''delete''':I look for any page linking to current page (What links here). If any, see if there are better places to link. Also I look through history, if intentionally blank, for awhile. Then remove. |
|||
**: ''A:'' '''deletere''': pages, should only be those in the middle of double-hops. And again, check links in, and out. Make sure appropriate via history. In some cases, if there's some question, I might contact the last few editors to see about the background story. I'd also check Talk pages, to make sure nothing is lost permanently. |
|||
**:''Spam'': For pages with spam, access to 'rollback' changes, or block repeating spammers/ip would be greatfully easier for me to help cut down system wide spam. Would also check 'User contributions', to see if real person or actual page spammer.--[[User:Ixo|ixo]] 08:05, 14 February 2008 (EST) |

This is the de facto place for admins to coordinate. Some notes for administrators. You can see a list of admins at Special:Listusers, and recent rights changes at special:log.
For older requests, see the archive.
Nominations for adminship
Adminship should be no big deal. Administrators need to learn how to use the logs, the delete and protect tabs, and the block tool; please nominate regular wiki users you trust, checking that they have some familiarity with the wiki.
To nominate a user, please add a section with their name, and a username (talk · contribs) template below it, along with a paragraph describing their work and why they should make a good admin. List newest nominations at the top of the page. After two weeks, any bureaucrat can close the nomination; people with unanimous support are likely to be adminned.
Nominations for deadminship
user:felice
Felice was a wiki admin and bureaucrat while she was updating pages that were being pushed to the live webserver and handling official OLPC materials, but hasn't been active this year and is likely to be active in the future. To keep the admin lists clean, I nominate her for regular user status. (She probably also doesn't want to receive random talk-page notifications from people who need bureaucrat help.) --Sj talk 16:11, 24 April 2008 (EDT)
- support as nominator
Recently discussed
Older Questions and Answers
On Administrative tasks
- I've been patrolling the general edits, does it help? I try not to patrol technical and similar edits that may compromise the hardware/software builds, etc
- Yes, it helps.
- I'm trying to categorize the site, and was thinking that Wikipedia's handling of subcategories as expandable lists would be a nice extension to have in order to avoid content being lost deep within sub-categories (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computer_architecture)
- Ahh, interesting point. We should do this.
- I've been doing some reworks with the Ask OLPC a Question area (mainly writing up /Summary pages for the ... about XXX pages). The selection of questions (and body of the answer) could use some OLPC staff member to review their correctness. comments? should those /Summary pages be protected? if yes, only to registered users or exclusively admins?
- No need to protect them; just keep an eye on them. I try not to protect anything until some vandal starts to make them unusable.
