Bleach Wiki talk:Administrators

Requests for Rollback (Nwang2011)
Nwang2011 (Mr. N) has requested rollback rights on Bleach Wiki:Requests for Rollback. Twocents 01:38, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

I don't know, are we giving out roll-back rights to people outside the Policy/Standards committee? Mr. N seems to do mostly spelling/grammar correction edits, and while they are relatively minor, they are well done. He has also done some updating of articles based on new chapters/episodes. I did see that on one article he was adding the "we don't use this template" formatting, but that hasn't happened again since it was pointed out to him. With the exception of August, he seems to be a fairly regular contributor. -- Yyp  (Talk)  16:14, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Anybody have any thoughts on this? Or should we ask him if he is interested in the committee? -- Yyp  (Talk)  18:18, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Um, I'm not sure about giving rollbacking rights to people who aren't on the committee or an admin, just because it seems like something that's given to people who have a little more authority on the wiki, and if we gave rollbacking rights to everyone who was a pretty good contributor, it might get confusing for other users as to who to turn to. But I'm fine with encouraging him to apply for the committee instead. Twocents   (Talk)  01:48, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Templates
We apparently have an issue with some of the templates on the site. Namely the translation template. Now majority of templates besides the ones that have done are generic and linked from the animapedia sight. Now the biggest issue as i said is the translation one which if you click it apparently puts down a translation template that is a numbered list. A format that we do not use on the wiki, i looked at it last night and couldn't decipher truly what was wrong, once more i couldn't go about making a original one just for this sight as i was uncertain how to go about it at the time. Anyhow we all need to be aware of it and find all the ones that come from that sight. Until they can be replaced with something original to the sight they may continue to be a problem. Until the translation template can be fixed, its probably best to just inform those users that use it that its wrong and explain which kind we do use. They shouldn't be held accountable unless they don't listen to the instructions of the right way to do it. On top of that there seems to be a few templates or styles that we use here that may not be listed anywhere and they need to be, unfortunately i can't think of any off the top of my head but i know that we have used them in the past couple of weeks when certain users have done the opposite. So if anyone can recall one, make sure you list it on the manuel of style. Salubri 22:56, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Committee Initiation
As mentioned above, Minato proposed an initiation of sorts for our three committee nominees, Gold3263301, TomServo101 and Animeluvr92. In case anyone missed it, he suggested that they write five anime summaries each so that we could get an idea of what they are like. I think it is a really good idea and would give us a great chance to see what they're like. I kind of want this to be moved along as nothing has happened on it in a while and I'm sure they are wondering what's taking us so long. -- Yyp  (Talk)  18:18, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

As stated above im all for the idea. Salubri 18:55, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

I'm also fine with it. I think we're just waiting for Arrancar109's input at this point. Twocents  (Talk)  00:38, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

I'd say yes with Gold and Tom, but I'm not too sure on Animeluvr. I'll have to look into his/her contribution history. Arrancar109 18:04, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Right then, I've given Minato the go ahead to start the initiation with Gold & Tom, and he has contacted them about it. He'll leave Animeluvr for the moment. -- Yyp  (Talk)  20:11, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

References Removing Glitch
Just bringing this to your attention: twice in the last few days I have encountered a rather strange and quite damaging glitch. This glitch removes everything that is in < > tags, including all references and the small writing underneath the anime-only arc headings in the synopsis. The first time was by Minato, who had no idea what happened, but said that he was editing a page and encountered the edit conflict screen, then clicked back, cut the text he was adding, clicked forward again, added his bit and saved. Whether that had anything to do with what caused it or not I don't know, but those are the circumstances behind it and here is a link to the two instances of it I have encountered: [] and []. The other person did not reply to my question on his page, so I don't know if the circumstances are similar in the two edits. If it had not happened with Minato first, I would have treated it as vandalism. In both cases, no other edit showed up, just the removal of the references etc. I'll go mention it on the wiki central forums. -- Yyp  (Talk)  18:39, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Blogs
I know blogs are supposed to be a little free compared to that of Forums but some are getting way off mark on the topic of bleach and in fact going against manuel of style or policies by just existing. Why i cant speak for all blogs ive noticed that the ones created by Flamingsword300 and flaminghorse, not sure of the difference with either user. But they both have blogs comparing series and characters from other anime, that coupled with the fact that both barely have any actual contribution history if at all. There are plenty sights that cater to aimless far fetched speculation of this kind. I personally find it pointless and ridiculous like comparing wolverine to superman (do people really care). I would hope that we wouldn't encourage it here. Considering we need progress people with all the projects and everything on the sight when people aren't being productive and making good faith edits and are only here to socialize about crazy things that would never happen (purely beyond speculation and wouldnt take place) as if this was myspace. It encourages the same behavior we had to deal with Elisukya2 about the user page situation. I don't know it just seemed like something we should at least talk about.

 * I think any that the ones comparing Bleach to other series should be deleted. I just don't understand how people can even discuss that when there are such huge differences between one series and another. Maybe some people find it fun or whatever, but as far as I'm concerned, it's just junk. And this one should go too: User blog:Flarm2/PEACE▒▒▒. Especially that one. Any others? -- Yyp  (Talk)  20:20, December 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I've gotten rid of the PEACE▒▒▒ one, as it was nothing more than spam advertising and I think the user only registered here to advertise that site. I saw that Flaminghorse had also created the Forum:Bleach Cross over. The forum has received no replies and there is little interest in either Flaminghorse's or Flamingsword300's blogs. They won't be missed if they're removed. Will I go ahead & take them down? -- Yyp  (Talk)  17:48, December 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * I say go ahead and also make sure they understand why, so theres no repeat performance. Salubri (Talk)  18:17, December 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * Done. -- Yyp  (Talk)  19:36, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
