Wiki Tribune Report

There's not too much to report. I meant to release this yesterday, but the site kept giving me an error when I tried to add the report.

NOTE TO ALL ASPIRING WIKI STAFF MEMBERS:

Sorry, but I'm not looking for applications at this time. There are all kinds of ways to help out without being on the Staff. Go to the DJBWiki, click "Random article" on the left-hand navigation bar, and look for spelling mistakes, unrealistic content, or whatever you want.

Let's go on to the next section of this report.

DARK SIDE SCROLLS:

Leaders of the Brotherhood (as in, QUA-CON),

If you believe that one of your members has been doing an abso-expletiveing-lutely outstanding job in keeping your Clan articles updated and awesome, please let me know, so that I can either award them [a] Dark Side Scroll[s] or work out some kind of merit medal/promotion with you. Yay!


Members of the Brotherhood (as in, everyone),

If you happen to have your character article featured, you will be awarded a Dark Side Scroll.

NOMINATE AND/OR VOTE:

Nominate and/or vote for a Featured Article!

Did you happen to see a great Wiki article today? Has it already been featured? If not, nominate it! There are currently five nominations up there, but we need more votes!

WIKI PROJECTS:

1) Fairuse image audit. (<span style="color:#00FF00">Complete.</span>)

2) User audit. (<span style="color:#FFFF00">In progress...</span>)

3) Clear the Dead-end pages list. (<span style="color:#00FF00">Complete.</span>)

4) More competitions. (<span style="color:#FF0000">Waiting...</span>)

5) Rejuvenate the staff. (<span style="color:#00FF00">Complete.</span>)

6) Categories audit. (<span style="color:#FF0000">Waiting...</span>) Begin: August 15

7) Project: Realism. (<span style="color:#FF0000">Waiting...</span>) This project has been pushed back so that we can begin work on "DJBWiki basic information." Begin: August 22

8) Tagged articles audit. (<span style="color:#FF0000">Waiting...</span>) 291 articles are considered "Under Construction." 26 are considered "Underlinked." 20 apparently have quality problems. 18 are considered questionable. It's time to go through and turn those big numbers into doughnuts.

9) DJBWiki basic information. (<span style="color:#FFFF00">In progress...</span>) If you go to Category:DJBWiki basic information, you will notice that there are quite a lot of project pages (pages that begin with "DJBWiki:"). These informational texts will be written to complete the background information that is needed for the Wiki (e.g. Copyright information, a general disclaimer, information about Sysops).

10) Advanced Wiki course. (<span style="color:#FFFF00">In progress...</span>) Props to Impetus for helping with this. Due to the overload of new courses coming into the Shadow Academy, the Headmaster has told me that this may not be released for awhile. This course will cover more "advanced" article editing, templates, special pages, and administrative functions.

11) Past Featured Articles awarding. (<span style="color:#00FF00">Complete.</span>) Leaders, if you look in your inboxes, you should have several emails about Dark Side Scrolls being awarded to your members. I awarded 64 Dark Side Scrolls to members who either wrote a character article that was so great that it got featured or (through my eyes) helped a non-character article reach the point where it was so great that it got featured. Congrats to the recipients of these medals.

Heres something for the bottom part. What if you work at a prison, or jail like I do? I guess its double pain. :P

That Phoenix bit is too funny! And like the best comedy, completely true.
