Board Thread:Wiki Discussion/@comment-5632187-20150419140646

Hey all, I'm sorry for getting this out so late, I completely forgot to put this together yesterday! We had an interesting week full of a lot of stuff, so let's get right into it!


 * There was a community discussion closed on Wednesday that decided I should be promoted to Bureaucrat on the Wiki. I'm glad you guys trust me enough to give me such powers, and I promise that I will do everything I can to continue to improve the Wiki. The thread for this can be read here.


 * There was also a decision reached during this past week about Talk Pages or Comment sections to be used on the Wiki started by Brain. The ultimate decision was to switch to talk pages, though a couple people voiced opposition after the decision had been reached. If you wish to voice concerns or suggest something, the discussion can still be posted on, and is found here.


 * Another discussion was opened by Mats about creating new Boards on the Forums. He wishes to see us have more specific boards so that the discussions can be found more easily. Ultimately, the goal is to make Forums easier to use for someone who has never used them before. The discussion on this topic can be found here.


 * One final discussion was opened by myself about deleting the Vandalism in Progress page. I say that the page is useless to any Sysop on the site, as it is much simpler and easier for all parties involved to just post on a Sysop's message wall. We're looking for more input on the subject, so here is the thread.


 * This week, the Wiki received 1.4 million views and 913 edits on the Wiki. This is an unfortunate drop from last week, losing 100,000 views and 400 edits this week. The drop in edits, however, will easily be attributed to the removal of article comments, as those counted towards our weekly edit counts.


 * Our WAM score this week 98.36. This brought us to rank 59 in all of Wikia and 31 on gaming Wikias. This is a drop from last week of 2 in all of Wikia and 3 in gaming Wikias. We're still doing a great job though, guys, so don't be discouraged by the minor drop!


 * Last but not least, user shoutout of the week goes to.... STAR!!! Star has been a great editor this past week, helping with a ton of link fixes on the Wiki, as well as being a cool guy to have around chat. Keep up the great work!

Please feel free to discuss any of this below. I hope you all have a great week, and cya on the 25th! :)
