Talk:Miraheze Volunteers

Can we separate the staff and volunteers into its own page? Example page: Below is a list of staff and volunteers. Feel free to add yourself.

Original table taken from IRC page.

Created real page. Tankobot (talk) 08:50, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I actually want to create a Staff_and_volunteers page where all volunteers & staff are listed along with a small avatar/picture of them, introduction, 'job title' and such. Southparkfan (talk) 12:10, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The place you copied it from was theoretically in the correct place as it was just meant to give people a reference to their irc nicks for irc communication. Though I do agree we spread several lists of people into several different categories for some useless reason. John (talk) 14:15, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

I think the site is awesome, and I'm going to try to use that enthusiasm to help with some fund raising.

I'm confused as to who is in charge of the content in Meta
Which of these roles is in charge of the content in meta?


 * Administrator
 * MediaWiki System Administrator
 * Stewards

Thanks, Rsterbal (talk) 10:43, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Administrators regulate content and enforce guidelines/policies. They're not "in charge", users are in theory in charge as they have the right to decide policies and guidelines over what is and what isn't appropriate for content on meta. John (talk) 11:08, 19 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Administrators are a local wiki group. This means they only have powers on the wiki they're an administrator on. The Administrators of the Meta wiki (this wiki) enforce all the policy we, the users, decide on. MediaWiki system administrators are people who work on the backend of all things Miraheze. They assist SPF and perform various actions that ensure MediaWiki servers continue running. Stewards are like "global administrators". They have privileges on all Miraheze sites and can change anything on that site. Their power is restricted by Miraheze policy and they help resolve community disputes, help appoint new bureaucrats and so on and so forth.

Any more questions? Feel free to direct them to any of the noticeboards or to my talk page (I'm happy to help). &#32;  CnocBride | Talk | Contribs  11:33, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Can we add a Roles page?
I'd like to see a page on Meta with all the Roles defined. Rsterbal (talk) 03:37, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Seconded, and I suggest appending it to FAQ, or putting it at the top of this page and having FAQ point to it. My rewrite of this was post-edited as I had used one role when the correct phrasing was a different role.  I was fuzzy on the roles and still am.   03:51 26-Oct-2017
 * I don't see the point of this edit. It's just adding a new column which is completely useless, since the roles one already clearly states whether they are a sysadmin or not. Could you please indicate why you think the column you added has any sense?
 * Furthermore, "I'd like to see a page on Meta with all the Roles defined." My answer is you are already commenting on it's discussion page. I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this, since roles are clearly shown on Miraheze Volunteers. Reception123 (talk) ( 'C' ) 06:51, 26 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Foreign keys are extremely useful in understanding date, which is why I added them to the table. The details of the roles are not clear to me just by a list of the labels. Rsterbal (talk) 18:19, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I see. Another question, what is the difference between saying "Appears on System administrators page" and "Is a System administrator"? And also, except this extra column you added, what do you think would make it more the roles more clear for you (and potentially other users)? After re-reading the page, is the fact that for some users it says "Operations" while for some it says "MediaWiki System Administrator" confusing? If so, maybe we could add (Sysadmin) after each one.
