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.
user:cjl
Cjl (talk · contribs) has been an active contributor since January, and an active wiki-patroller and categorizer, and has also been helping out with the Support gang. Somehow he hasn't yet been nommed for adminship :) I'd like to remedy that.

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.
- What should I be doing to patrol vandalism?
- Take a look at OLPC:Vanalism and monitor Special:Recentchanges using some of the features there : toggle viewing "logged in users", for instance, and you will only see the IPs who have never logged in. You can also visit Special:Contributions/newbies to see contribs by the newest users.
