OLPC:Administrators
This is the de facto place for admins to coordinate. Some notes for administrators.
Requests for adminship
Firefoxman
Working with Michael Connet. He requested adminship by mail. I'd like to see a bit more non-admin cleanup first... Sj talk 19:06, 8 December 2007 (EST)
Questions
- 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.
- FYI: People are still posting general questions on the Talk:The_OLPC_Wiki page, even though it is supposed to redirect to Talk:Main Page (which makes it something of a black hole for questions). Is it possible to disable editing on that discussion page (or merge the two)? —Joe 11:51, 7 September 2007 (EDT)
Where are our readers from?
Some time ago (technically last year ;) I raised the question about who's reading what - and more importantly (for me) from where. (See here).
My question originates in that knowing that kind of information we may be able either to tune content or promote/demote links in the front page, faq, etc. For example, if I knew that it was argies rarely visit Argentina's page, it could mean that they are looking for other kind of news, data, whatever; but at least I'd know they aren't reading it - maybe it's just lack of local diffusion.--Xavi 20:49, 20 January 2007 (EST)
