User blog:PeterPeter5000/Summer 2013 Updates

On June 18th, 2011, I joined the admin team here on Roblox Wiki, with my old account Colgatecity. Over the past two years, I have learned a lot about how to keep a community running. My biggest accomplishments were helping former 2012 intern Colt324 create a new wiki theme, and achieving bureaucrat status. This summer, I will be collaborating with our current administrators to apply the updates below.

New admins
Our wiki has been gaining page views over the past few months. The past seven days alone, our wiki has gotten 63,200 views! Sometime during the week of July 7th, 2013, I will privately ask our administrators to nominate two wiki users for sysop rights. The two that garner the most attention will recieve the rights the next week.

DEFCON index
I will personally be bringing back the DEFCON index during the week of July 14th, 2013. This index measures the volume of vandalism the wiki has recieved in the past 24-48 hours. For more information, look here.

Changes in the definition of 'celebrity user'
During the first year of being an administrator here, I got into a dispute with XiaoXiaoMan about the qualifications of having an article about himself here. At the time, the only key component for having an article on Roblox Wikia was that the user must have over 100,000 place visits. Although XXM only had 80,000 place visits, his argument was that he was famous because of his youtube channel. During the week of July 21st, 2013, I will have an online meeting with our administrators, where we will discuss changing the qualifiications for being a 'celebrity user', having an article here.

Improving quality of articles
Quality, not quantity. I estimate that more than half of the articles on Roblox Wikia are poorly written and do not follow wiki article format. During the week of July 28th, 2013, I will ask our administrators to help create a list of poorly written articles for the Roblox Wikia community to edit and develop.

Ending remarks
That is all! Remember to keep editing when you are available, and have a nice summer. :)
