Now Hiring Wiki Tribune

Tarvitz has been a force behind the scenes on the wiki for as long as I have known him and his tenure as Wiki tribune was no exception. Sadly he has had to step down due to that thing that gets many of us, real life.

Accessibility of information, aka making things easier to find and use for all of our members, is my top priority, and the wiki tribune will play a huge (and much appreciated) part of that in addition to helping members and summits record and catalogue their lore.

The job description for Wiki Tribune can be found here or in this summary I lovingly lifted from Arch.

Basic tasks include:

• Patrolling new edits to watch for vandalism or inappropriate content, and editing legitimate articles for things like template uses, image licenses/sourcing, and categories.

• Nominate high quality articles for Featured Article and take point on the monthly Featured Article and Wikipedian of the Month awards.

• Service as a public point-of-contact for members with questions or suggestions regarding the Wiki.

More advanced tasks once you get into the swing of things:

• Creating a new process for Featured Article and WotM nomination, as the current one is ancient and we don’t follow it.

• Assisting with permissions management, mass edits through AutoWikiBrowser, and other technical functions.

• Adjusting and writing new templates for specialized use.

• Assist in revising the Shadow Academy courses and in-Wiki guides for Wiki editing.

• Learn the dark magic that controls the Wiki backend,

• Modernize existing content to make important information easy to find, and ensure it’s actually accurate when members do find it.

Application Instructions
