Table of info
The sysop pool is quite large now, maybe we could add a table of info, something like so:

and colour-code the row according to active/wikibreak etc in red, yellow, green — Skuld 13:03, 11 September 2006 (CDT)
- Oh, and anything can be omitted except talk and name (leave wikimail blank if it isn't filled in too) — Skuld 13:04, 11 September 2006 (CDT)

Looks great and fun. :) --

- Because I'm a geek I've made a template with different statuses and colours available. Go me! <LordBiro>/<Talk> 05:12, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- Lol :p — Skuld 09:29, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- Thanks :) What browser? They all display different >< — Skuld 12:23, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
What's this then? Another reason for another template ;) I like it. Good to have a record of admin locations. -Gares 12:45, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- I support this idea, but I disapprove of the template. There seems to be no inherent example to using a template as opposed to a normal table. If we're going to use yet another template, please justify it first. :) —Tanaric 19:49, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- If this was something that new users were supposed to do, I'd agree. As this is something for specifically the sysops to use, I see no problem with using the template. --Rainith 20:23, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- I do like the idea of using a table for this, but I'm indifferent about if we use a template to fill it out. I do feel that the template makes it marginally easier to use the color coding and to keep the coding consistent; but the benefit is very slight - so no major issue either way on its use to me. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:36, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- Considering nobody is putting their "external mail" do we need that column? Also William Blackstaff is from Australia, there's not many of us Aussies around but he's one. --Xasxas256 21:06, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- I put it in for him — Skuld 03:34, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
- In regards to external email, considering wiki-mail links to an external mail service, I don't see the reason to have the external mail column, unless you want to add an extra email account. -Gares 06:32, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
Mr Biro, any chance you could make a column for "last activity" for absent ppl? — Skuld 03:34, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
- I'm not sure if that's what you meant exactly Skuld... If not then I'll try it again :P <LordBiro>/<Talk> 04:11, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
- Perfect :) — Skuld 05:30, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
How about a "Language" column? -User:PanSola (talk to the 
) 12:54, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
Not to be a spoil-sport but I didn't really mean this to be a joke >< — Skuld 13:00, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
- With the exception of the humor in the "Preferred duties" column, I haven't seen anything to suggest it's being viewed as a joke. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:10, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
- I was about to say the same thing Barek. I've just noticed that PanSola has included a link to his contributions in the "last active" column, and this makes a lot of sense. Should we link to contribs instead of showing the date for each sysop? <LordBiro>/<Talk> 13:13, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
Stop editing, dammit! I got lots of contact info. I have been contacted via all these channels for GuildWiki assistance. What should I do? —Tanaric 13:16, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
- I would just put the methods by which you want to be contacted. I'm not putting down my MSN address or anything. <LordBiro>/<Talk> 13:31, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
- Yes, I thought that was implicit. That's why my phone number isn't in here. :P
- Also, I sorted alphabetically. The other obvious sorting mechanism would be by date of sysoption. Which is preferable? —Tanaric 13:52, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
- I'm all for a different order instead of alphabetical, as the person at the top of lists frequently gets the most messages ;-) But, sorting by sysoption date has hints of elitism to me ... any other suggestions?
- Oh ... sysoption? The wiktionary needs an update! --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:59, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
- Yeah, I was thinking that (with regard to elitism). But equally if you don't want to be top of the list then that's understandable. I just think alphabetically is the fairest way. What we need to do is make ab.er.ant or someone a sysop, that would solve the problem :P - although technically 8 comes before B :P
