GuildWiki:Administrator information

Information about the status, behavior, and how to contact GuildWiki's administrators can be found here. For information about the role of administrators, see GuildWiki:Administrators.

Current Administrators

These GuildWiki sysops work hard to make sure the wiki is as readable and usable as possible. A system-generated list can be found on Special:Listadmins. If you are made an administrator, please update this list however you see fit.

The Bureaucrats

We think Felix is a pretty cool guy, eh handles regular sysop duties in addition to fulfilling a secondary role as bureaucrat in times of need and doesn't afraid of anything. Entropy may also perform some Bureaucrat duties.

Active wiki administrators

* indicates a bureaucrat

Dr Ishmael, El_Nazgir, Felix Omni*, Randomtime and Vipermagi are on the wiki daily to fight vandalism, block users, delete pages, and respond to general user requests.

Semi-active wiki administrators

* indicates a bureaucrat

Entropy*, Gimmethegepgun, JonTheMon, Marcopolo47, and Shadowcrest are sometimes active, and sometimes inactive, depending on time restrictions and other things.

Inactive administrators

* indicates a bureaucrat

Adam.skinner, Cress Arvein, Fyren, Gares Redstorm, Gem, Gordon Ecker, Gravewit*, Isk8, JediRogue*, Jioruji Derako, Karlos, LordBiro*, MartinLightbringer(CS), Nunix*, PanSola*, Rainith, William Blackstaff, Warwick, Xasxas256, and Xeon are mostly inactive. While they still occasionally pop into the GuildWiki, they probably should not be contacted for wiki concerns.

Wikia staff

Wikia staff may be contacted for administrative matters if no Guild Wiki administrators can be located for several days. A system-generated list of Wikia staff can be found here. The page Special:Contact should be used to contact a staff member.

Expectations

While administrators may exercise their powers as they see fit, they each typically follow a particular pattern, and the patterns between different administrators typically don't drastically differ by a great amount. The following is what individual admins would most likely do in a certain situation. Again, note that what an admin ends up doing in any particular situation may completely deviate from what that admin typically does, and the admin would not need to justify why that case is any different.

PanSola

• Action increase by one magnitude per recurring offense.
• Action magnitude goes from: "verbal warning" -> "ban for some hours" -> "ban for some days" -> "ban for some weeks" -> "ban for some months". "some" can range from 2 to 9 (but usually between 2~4).
• Revert wars may result in verbal warning on first offense, or protection of articles, depending on the situation.
• Personal attacks may result in either verbal warning or ban for some days on first offense.
• Sporadic vandalism may result in ban for some days on first offense.
• Large scale vandalism may result in ban for some weeks on first offense.
• No retroactive bans if the ban duration would have expired already had PanSola banned on time. In other words, if PanSola notices someone should have been banned 5 days ago for a duration of 2 days, PanSola won't go back and ban that individual. However if PanSola notices 30 minutes ago someone should have been banned for 2 hours, PanSola will still give out a 2-hour ban.
• Spam bots get perm ban. Users with offensive account names get perm ban. Other users and IPs typically never get perm ban even with multiple repeated offenses.
• Users banned by PanSola who have a sincere apology, a promise to reform one's actions, an acknowledgment of the wrongdoing, and reasons why the ban should not last its full length, should appeal to the other admins. PanSola will respect the other admins' decision to lift/shorten the ban, but will not personally bother to do anything about it.
• Users banned by PanSola who believe the ban to be unjust or a mistake may contact PanSola for a lift of the ban.

Randomtime

• Protects pages that need protection.
• Blocks for IPs, unless they are clearly an open proxy or using a tor node, then I will consider a ban.
• Ban for vandalism only unregistered accounts.
• Delete as I see fit, if required.
• Will try to be fair, to best of abilities.
• Will take into account for any admin actions, past record. Including other wikis, irc chat etc. This will never be a cause for a block on this wiki though.
• Ban/block time is to my tastes, depending on the actual vandalism. If vandalism is severe, I may block quickly, then edit reasons later on.
• For users, I do not warn, but I do a 3 strike contrib rule, if the user:
  • Makes 3 or more contribs in a row that are vandalism
  • Is mostly contributing vandalism
  • I will block them
