UDWiki:Open Discussion/Administrator Category

Administration Services — Protection. This page has been protected against editing. See the archive of recent actions or the Protections log.

I was trying to list every administrator we ever had here in the wiki. An almost complete list can be found in the successful promotions candidacies category, but some of them are missing there and the category list some names twice or more. What about we add a Category:Administrator to identify every user who ever were a sysop/bureaucract - past or present - and a Category:System Operator/Category:Bureaucrat to all active sops and crats ? --hagnat 18:05, 1 June 2011 (BST)

and while i are talking about categories... we could add a Category:Discussion to every one of them and simply remove the 'closed discussions' section from the open discussion page :P --hagnat 18:08, 1 June 2011 (BST)

So User:Grim s would no longer be a redlink? ~ _{18:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC)}

So ? --hagnat 18:15, 1 June 2011 (BST)

I personally wouldn't mind. Can't speak for all the ops, though. Since User Pages have special ownership rules, don't know if we should require these categories. You could, you know just add all the past sysops to successful promotions candidacies category (it needs to be updated with Karek (5) and The General (4) anyway). You can also put in a request through thegeneralbot to extract all those pages from the category so it can be cleaned up and listed how you want. ~ _{18:53, 1 June 2011 (UTC)}

when katt, ster, brent and others were promoted there wasnt a system suchs as the current promotion system (which, iirc, was written by zar and ster). And yeah, user pages are owned by their users, but not having the category in EVERY user who ever had/s admin privs would simply defeat the entire purpose of the category, though --hagnat 19:27, 1 June 2011 (BST)

Doesn't mean they can't be added to the table at the top of the category, though. Use plaintext with notations that promotion occurred prior to A/PR. ~ _{19:54, 1 June 2011 (UTC)}

Why doesn't somebody just make a list?--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 20:50, 1 June 2011 (BST)

I like turtles... categories, i mean --hagnat 21:01, 1 June 2011 (BST)

Use clever formatting and a custom title to make it look like a category?--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 21:03, 1 June 2011 (BST)

But then there would be not link to the category in each user page :P --hagnat 21:04, 1 June 2011 (BST)

Imagination and rainbows?--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 17:31, 2 June 2011 (BST)

Why must you waste your ego and time on such trivial useless shit, hagnat -.- -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 13:38, 25 July 2011 (BST)
