Wookieepedia:Mofferences/Log/2009 January 25

[18:00]		Right. The Mofference begins. [18:00]		Woot! [18:00]	=-=	Mode #wookieepedia +v NaruHina by Graestan [18:00]		Psst. Dark Greetings. [18:00]		Right on time [18:00]		DARK GREETINGS [18:00]		First agenda item, proposed by Graestan, is to improve the welcome template. [18:00]		Dark Greetings [18:00]		Bright Greetings, all [18:00]		FYI, stay on topic or be booted. [18:00]		Period. [18:00]		Change how? [18:00]		http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Template:W [18:00]		An opening statement, Grae? [18:01]		I think it should have more policies linked. [18:01]		Like which ones? [18:01]		I think it's about time we rewrite, or at least add to, the welcome template. It does not point to policies I consider important for new users to look at, such as Wookieepedia:Attribution, and also links to things that perhaps could be omitted for newbies, like Senate Hall. I propose that ideas be brought forward as to what should be included, and perhaps proposals for a new look to this... [18:01]	<Graestan>	...template itself (I'm thinking something sleeker and more bold). Graestan(Talk) 14:50, 24 December 2008 (UTC) [18:01]	<Mecenarylord>	Agreed [18:01]	<Enochf>	It should be harsh and brutal. HEADS MUST ROLL! [18:01]	<Imperialles>	I personally think the current one looks quite bad. [18:01]	<Graestan>	Pretty much anything we have to point at for new users. [18:01]	<Toprawa>	I wish we had a preliminary Fanon warning for all. [18:01]	<Gonk|Busy>	Per Grae and Imp. [18:01]	<Graestan>	And I am *SICK* of Wormie on there. [18:01]	<Gonk|Busy>	and TOpe [18:01]	<Ataru>	Per Tope on that. [18:01]	<GrandMoffTranner>	Definitely need a preliminary fanon warning. [18:01]	<Mecenarylord>	Yeah [18:01]	<Imperialles>	Back in ye olden times I was actually creating a tutorial of sorts for new users [18:01]	<Graestan>	2005? [18:02]	<Ataru>	lol [18:02]	<Graestan>	Do you have any of that data left? [18:02]	<Imperialles>	Which woiuld be better than a list of links, I believe [18:02]	<Imperialles>	2006, maybe [18:02]	<Mecenarylord>	We should put a image of Chewie [18:02]	<Imperialles>	Yes [18:02]	<ChackJadson>	I don't mind the Luke image, FWIW [18:02]	<Imperialles>	http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:Tutorial [18:02]	<NaruHina>	Per Merc [18:02]	<GrandMoffTranner>	Do we even need an image? [18:02]	<Gonk|Busy>	Chewie with his arms up, maybe. [18:02]	<Toprawa>	I liked the Luke image when there was that caption - "Luke Skywalker welcomes you, etc." [18:02]	<Imperialles>	It's scewed up these days, though [18:02]	<Toprawa>	No caption is very bland [18:02]	<NaruHina>	Yes [18:02]	<Graestan>	Star Wars was overly Luke-centric for twenty years. It's someone else's turn. [18:02]	<Imperialles>	And it's very bare bones [18:02]	<Ataru>	Yeah, the caption is needed. [18:02]	<Mecenarylord>	per Gonl [18:02]	<Jedimca0|Busy>	Wookieepedia... image or Chewie... makes sense... [18:02]	<Enochf>	We could make an informative comic or instruction video about Johnny Fanon Gets Banned [18:03]	<Mecenarylord>	*per Gonk [18:03]	<NaruHina>	It is better than just a list [18:03]	<ChackJadson>	Agree that caption is needed [18:03]	<Ataru>	Enochf: Let's stick to the welcome template for now. [18:03]	=-=	Jedimca0|Busy is now known as Jedimca0 [18:03]	<Toprawa>	This is irrelevant [18:03]	<Imperialles>	Nice idea, Enoch Forrester [18:03]	-->|	Soresu has joined #wookieepedia [18:03]	<Toprawa>	The image isn't the point :P [18:03]	=-=	Mode #wookieepedia +v Soresu by Graestan [18:03]	<Ataru>	Let's discuss the links and stuff on the welcome template, please. [18:03]	<Mecenarylord>	just a suggestion [18:03]	<Soresu>	No way! Parental time controls set in just as we start, so I have to use GGI:IRC [18:03]	<R_F>	ugh [18:03]	<R_F>	http://www.starwars.com/video/view/000754.html [18:03]	<R_F>	Narglatches [18:03]	|<--	Soresu has left irc.freenode.net (Client Quit) [18:03]	<R_F>	WTF [18:03]	<Ataru>	R_F: Stay on topic, please. [18:03]	<Graestan>	RF [18:03]	<Toprawa>	Can we focus? [18:03]	<Imperialles>	Indeed. I don't think anyone could really object to adding more links to the template. [18:04]	<NaruHina>	Replace the SH link wiht a KB link [18:04]	<R_F>	oops, sorry [18:04]	<Mecenarylord>	nope [18:04]	<Imperialles>	More help = less work for admins = happier admins [18:04]	<Enochf>	Already linked to MOS, Things to Do, WP:NOT... [18:04]	<Mecenarylord>	Yeah [18:04]	<Graestan>	Shall we vote on just letting Imp and I work it out, or do we have to vote on each addition? [18:04]	<NaruHina>	How about the Userpage policy [18:04]	<Toprawa>	I agree the Attribution link should be on there [18:04]	<Toprawa>	That's pretty key [18:04]	<Graestan>	per naru [18:04]	<Ataru>	I think the fanon warning and an image caption would be good additions. Maybe a different image. [18:04]	<Ataru>	User page is on there. [18:04]	<Ataru>	(already) [18:04]	<Gonk|Busy>	let's not vote on each addition. Let's talk-page any objections about each addition. [18:04]	<Grunny>	per ataru [18:05]	<NaruHina>	Then why they don't look completely illudes me [18:05]	<Enochf>	I thought maybe we had a list of additions, and we'd thumbs up/thumbs down while we're here [18:05]	<Jedimca0>	going over every detail now would probably take to long. :/ [18:05]	<Imperialles>	In my opinion, discussing every addition/change here is a bit specific. I vote we let Graestan head the committee. I will help out. [18:05]	<GrandMoffTranner>	Agreed. [18:05]	<Toprawa>	per Imp [18:05]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Works for me. [18:05]	<Jedimca0>	per Imp [18:05]	<Enochf>	'K [18:05]	<Grunny>	agreed [18:05]	<Gonk|Busy>	Looks like we don't have that list, Enochf. (Also: "Whyy don't they look...") [18:05]	<Ataru>	This is something that "Boot to SH or CT" seems to work best on. [18:05]	<NaruHina>	Take out the visit in the IRC tidbit [18:06]	<Graestan>	I am to compile a list of what people want to see on there and do it; anyone with issues can use the talk page. [18:06]	<Ataru>	Sounds good. [18:06]	<Imperialles>	So, with everyone's blessing, I'd like to make this a non-CT issue [18:06]	<Cull_Tremayne>	What? Booting to CT makes the whole topic worthless. [18:06]	<Imperialles>	Let's just do it, eh? [18:06]	<NaruHina>	Per Grae [18:06]	<Gonk|Busy>	per Imp and Cull [18:06]	<Ataru>	Heh, fine then. [18:06]	<Graestan>	Those of us who care about the Mofference should use it to make firm decisions. [18:06]	<Enochf>	But a fanon warning will be included [18:06]	<Graestan>	Of course. ;) [18:07]	|<--	Mecenarylord has left irc.freenode.net ("CGI:IRC (EOF)") [18:07]	<Imperialles>	Proposal: Agree that changes can be made; the specifics can be discussed later. No CT required on this trivial issue. [18:07]	<ChackJadson>	Yeah [18:07]	<Toprawa>	Does this mean we can forego fanon warnings before block? ;) [18:07]	<NaruHina>	True [18:07]	<Ataru>	Toprawa: Probably not. [18:07]	<NaruHina>	Probably [18:07]	<Toprawa>	haha [18:07]	<Enochf>	Not [18:07]	<NaruHina>	Fine [18:07]	<GrandMoffTranner>	Per Imp. Unfortunately not per Toprawa. [18:07]	<Ataru>	Let's. . . STAY ON TOPIC please. [18:08]	<Imperialles>	Any objections to letting this slip past CT? [18:08]	<Ataru>	Nope. [18:08]	<AdmirableAckbar>	no [18:08]	<GrandMoffTranner>	None from me. [18:08]	<NaruHina>	No [18:08]	<Enochf>	So be it [18:08]	<Cylka>	no [18:08]	<Grunny>	no [18:08]	<Tyber>	no [18:08]	<Ataru>	Let's move on. [18:08]	<Imperialles>	Wookieepedia has spoken. Next item. [18:08]	<Enochf>	Guilty [18:08]	<Imperialles>	Admin age. [18:08]	<Graestan>	I really don't see why a full year and a half or two years of valid contribution cannot be a substitute for the age requirement. Admin age has never played into admin problems before, and I don't believe anyone who is not qualified would be elected by majorities of both user and admin votes. [18:08]	=-=	Ataru has changed the topic to “Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki - http://starwars.wikia.com - Site status: CTs inbound - Channel status: This is indeed the Mofference. Topic is: admin age - Please respect the IRC rules. Off-topic chat is welcome in #wookieepedia-social - Quotes: http://qdb.lucidfox.org” [18:08]	<NaruHina>	18+ [18:08]	<Imperialles>	Graestan proposes we lower the admin age a bit. [18:08]	<AdmirableAckbar>	I'm all for this, but I do have one reservation that's worth considering. [18:09]	<Graestan>	My proposal would NOT be lowering the age. [18:09]	<Graestan>	It would be a substitution of experience for age. [18:09]	<Imperialles>	My bad. [18:09]	<ChackJadson>	In favor of waiving the requirement for users aged 16 0r 17 with at least 18 months of service. No lower than 16, though [18:09]	<Toprawa>	Let Graestan explain, please. [18:09]	<ChackJadson>	Graestan probably has an idea, though [18:09]	-->|	Mecenarylord has joined #wookieepedia [18:09]	<Enochf>	But teenagers are filled with icky hormones [18:09]	<Tyber>	16 would do [18:09]	<Graestan>	Those with two years' experience of quality contribution would have it waived. [18:09]	<Tyber>	indeed [18:09]	-->|	Soresu has joined #wookieepedia [18:09]	<Imperialles>	Sounds good to me. [18:09]	=-=	Mode #wookieepedia +v Soresu by Ataru [18:09]	<Soresu>	Thank god I know how to hack my dad's account [18:09]	<Toprawa>	Users under 18 can be eligible for a vote with 2 years of site experience. [18:09]	<Graestan>	I do /not/ believe an unqualified person would be elected. [18:10]	<Imperialles>	In any case, the chance of someone not qualified to be elected is slim to none. [18:10]	<Enochf>	Any second they might burst out crying, go emo, or mow down their high school with an assault rifle [18:10]	<Toprawa>	per Imp [18:10]	<Graestan>	I think this is a matter of progress, where pure ageism can be put aside and experience be considered instead. [18:10]	<ChackJadson>	2 years is even better, IMO [18:10]	<Enochf>	Eh [18:10]	<GrandMoffTranner>	Per Grae. [18:10]	<Cull_Tremayne>	Eh [18:10]	<Imperialles>	Any counterpoints? [18:10]	<Graestan>	Two years was my idea. [18:10]	<AdmirableAckbar>	I have one. Sort of. [18:10]	<Imperialles>	Shoot. [18:10]	<Tyber>	quite a long time, isn't it? [18:10]	<Enochf>	I say keep the age requirement as is [18:11]	<Graestan>	Look at our 15-year-olds who are good users with one year's experience. [18:11]	<Tyber>	per enochf [18:11]	<Imperialles>	Your main argument is a shrug? :p [18:11]	<Graestan>	This would be an exception. [18:11]	<Toprawa>	heh [18:11]	|<--	Mecenarylord has left irc.freenode.net (Client Quit) [18:11]	<Graestan>	Not a change entirely. [18:11]	<Soresu>	I say no younger than 14 or 15 though [18:11]	<Cull_Tremayne>	I'm with Enochf here. I see no real reason to change it, but no real solid argument the other way for me. [18:11]	<Graestan>	Look at the admin problems we've had. [18:11]	<Graestan>	Look at my blunders; I am by no means a young man. [18:11]	-->|	Muuurgh|AFK has joined #wookieepedia [18:11]	=-=	Mode #wookieepedia +v Muuurgh|AFK by Nuku-Nuku [18:11]	<Ataru>	I don't see a problem with this exception. I just don't have any enthusiasm for the idea. [18:11]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Parents have control over younger users where adults generally have the freedom to use the internet if they wish. [18:12]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Ergo, parents can suddenly step in. [18:12]	<Graestan>	Some parents still control their kids at 23. [18:12]	<Imperialles>	Indeed. The problematic admins we have suffered thus far have by no means been young men by this site's standards. [18:12]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Which, afaik, has happened to one established young editor. [18:12]	<Enochf>	Dangnabbit, you youngsters [18:12]	<ChackJadson>	Meh. Minor issue, IMO, or even nonexistent [18:12]	<Graestan>	If they're goof enough to be elected, what is the harm? [18:12]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Grae: right. And if it hasn't happened in two years, then it's unlikely to. [18:12]	<Graestan>	good* [18:12]	<AdmirableAckbar>	It's just worth considering. [18:12]	<Tyber>	i think admins aren't elected for fooling around [18:12]	<Gonk|Busy>	Worst case scenario, they go idle for a couple years, then come back when they move out ^_^ [18:12]	<Graestan>	Look at Chack. [18:12]	<Graestan>	Look at Acky. [18:13]	<Graestan>	They are both ready, or almost, now. [18:13]	<ChackJadson>	Thank you, Grae :) [18:13]	<Jedimca0>	Per Graestan [18:13]	<Graestan>	Why do we wait for such people? [18:13]	<NaruHina>	Teens are in school [18:13]	<Graestan>	Tranner. [18:13]	<Tyber>	yes, per graestan [18:13]	<Ataru>	We have several admins who are college students, NaruHina. [18:13]	<Cull_Tremayne>	We waited for Jorrel though. [18:13]	<Ataru>	School has nothing to do with it. [18:13]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Well, I'm not here two years... :P [18:13]	<Graestan>	If the current admins already don't work on the site enough, why restrict ourselves? [18:13]	<NaruHina>	Therefore haviing a workload that can make it somewhat hard to work on the wook consistantly [18:13]	<Jedimca0>	NaruHina: not just teens are in school... [18:13]	<Graestan>	Cull: I tried last year for Jorrel specifically. ;) [18:13]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Naru: I don't see that. [18:13]	<NaruHina>	Yes but in college many things are due weeks later [18:14]	<Ataru>	Graestan: Well. . . like I said, I just don't see a need for this. [18:14]	<Cull_Tremayne>	I just am tentative to adopt this solely so that we can adopt a few good users into the admin fold. [18:14]	<Toprawa>	Right, we tried /not/ waiting for Jorrel [18:14]	<Ataru>	I'd abstain on this sort of thing. [18:14]	<AdmirableAckbar>	If they edit the site consistently for two years, then they've obviously found a way around that. [18:14]	<Graestan>	I have a career, and I have plenty of time. I am salary and I work up to 70 hours per week. [18:14]	<Imperialles>	Per Cull [18:14]	<Toprawa>	I think the important thing is is that no one is going to be elected who really doesn't deserve it. [18:14]	<Toprawa>	This is really to let people in who /do/ deserve it [18:14]	<Graestan>	Indeed. [18:14]	<Gonk|Busy>	Per Tope. We filter well. [18:14]	<Imperialles>	2 years of quality contributions does account for something [18:14]	<Graestan>	Who is in favor of this 2-year exception? [18:15]	<Graestan>	I am. [18:15]	<ChackJadson>	I am [18:15]	<Imperialles>	These people are well integrated members, not random kids [18:15]	<Toprawa>	I am [18:15]	<Imperialles>	I am. [18:15]	<AdmirableAckbar>	I am. [18:15]	<Soresu>	I am [18:15]	<Gonk|Busy>	I am, I said [18:15]	<Jedimca0>	I support this. [18:15]	<Grunny>	I am [18:15]	<Cylka>	yes [18:15]	<Tyber>	I agree [18:15]	<GrandMoffTranner>	I am. [18:15]	<NaruHina>	Would that disqualify any current admins [18:15]	* Enochf	votes present [18:15]	<Imperialles>	No, Naru [18:15]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Naru: no, because it only applies to under 18s. [18:15]	<NaruHina>	OK [18:15]	<Ataru>	Opposition votes? [18:15]	<Graestan>	Who is opposed? [18:16]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Anyone else would only need 6 month's contributions. Correct? [18:16]	<ChackJadson>	Naru: The youngest current admin is 20, I think [18:16]	<ChackJadson>	Wait, one question. [18:16]	<Imperialles>	Jorrel is 18, no? [18:16]	<Cull_Tremayne>	Is there any admin who hasn't been on the site for 2 years? [18:16]	<ChackJadson>	My bad. Jorrel is 18 [18:16]	<Toprawa>	Cull> Me [18:16]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Cav. [18:16]	<Ataru>	This is not relevant, though. [18:16]	<Ataru>	They're over 18. [18:16]	<ChackJadson>	Is there still a cutoff limit? Like, will we go below 16 for users with 2 years experience? [18:16]	<Graestan>	Exactly. [18:17]	<Ataru>	The exception deals with, IIRC, 16 and 17 year olds. [18:17]	<Graestan>	No cutoff. [18:17]	<Ataru>	*NO* cutoff? O.o [18:17]	<ChackJadson>	I support not going under 16 ever [18:17]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Well, no under 13s presumably. [18:17]	<Graestan>	Look at Soresu. He's very new, and he might be 15 3/4 at his two-years. [18:17]	<Ataru>	Oppose, for COPPA reasons. [18:17]	<Toprawa>	I think the cutoff is irrelevant - again, no one is going to make admin who doesn't truly deserve it [18:17]	<Toprawa>	we'll laugh them off the site :P [18:17]	<Jedimca0>	but... the chance that an 11 year old becomes an admin is very small... [18:17]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Per Tope. [18:17]	<NaruHina>	No -16 yr olds [18:17]	<Jedimca0>	I mean... who would nominate and support them? [18:17]	<ChackJadson>	Meh, yeah, per Tope [18:17]	<Graestan>	It's /pure ageism,/ in my estimation. [18:17]	<GrandMoffTranner>	Per Toprawa. [18:18]	<Graestan>	Wookieepedia should be more of a meritocracy. [18:18]	<Graestan>	PerJedimca0 [18:18]	<Tyber>	and that from you? ;) [18:18]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Grae: this would only apply to over 13s per COPPA, would it? [18:18]	<Graestan>	Who would nominate little ones? [18:18]	<Ataru>	For legal and professional reasons, we also don't need 15 year old admins, Grae. [18:18]	<Soresu>	Yes COPPA is an issue [18:18]	<Graestan>	Acky: Yes. [18:18]	<Cull_Tremayne>	Ageism will keep the local teenagers in line. Ageism and fear of this battlestation. [18:18]	<Graestan>	COPPA is 13 and below [18:18]	<AdmirableAckbar>	There's nothing legal about it, Ataru, with 15 year olds. [18:18]	<Tyber>	i would say 16 [18:18]	<Ataru>	It's hard to take a website seriously when they're run by young teenagers. [18:18]	<AdmirableAckbar>	*illegal :/. [18:18]	<Toprawa>	Not if they're mature and responsible [18:18]	<Ataru>	No offense to all our young contributors who do a lot of work around her. [18:18]	<Imperialles>	It's run by the bureaucrats. Admins are privileged users. [18:19]	<Toprawa>	Which is exactly what this is geared toward [18:19]	<Ataru>	*here. [18:19]	<Jedimca0>	Per Toprawa [18:19]	<Glaug-Eldare>	^ [18:19]	<NaruHina>	The Rebel Alliance Wook is a bad idea [18:19]	<Graestan>	We will be taken seriously because of our long-standing democratic-based system. [18:19]	<Imperialles>	Sorry, that was misphrased. :p [18:19]	<Toprawa>	This is designed to reward the mature and responsible youngsters who have proven over 2 years that they have what it takes [18:19]	<Glaug-Eldare>	taken seriously by whom? [18:19]	<Imperialles>	Per Toprawa. [18:19]	<Toprawa>	By you, Glaug [18:19]	<ChackJadson>	Glaug: The SW community as a whole [18:19]	<Ataru>	I'd be far happier if there was an age floor. [18:19]	=-=	Muuurgh|AFK is now known as Muuurgh [18:20]	<GrandMoffTranner>	Again, per Tope. [18:20]	<Ataru>	Better safe than screwed, IMO. [18:20]	<Toprawa>	I could go with no younger than 15. [18:20]	<AdmirableAckbar>	is the average reader who the site is created for going to know or care? I doubt it. [18:20]	<Graestan>	What is the vote count? [18:20]	<Gonk|Busy>	In effect, the floor is 13, because once someone says "I'm 13"... that's it. [18:20]	<Graestan>	Per Gonk. [18:20]	<Toprawa>	per Gonk [18:20]	<Jedimca0>	indeed [18:20]	<Bllasae>	...Gonk... [18:20]	<GrandMoffTranner>	Per Gonk [18:20]	<Cylka>	per Gonk [18:20]	<Imperialles>	What Gonk said. [18:20]	* Ataru	is still opposed to the idea, but I'm not sure of the vote count. [18:20]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Isn't it 15 in effect, then? Unless they don't reveal their age... [18:20]	<Glaug-Eldare>	pff, it's a star wars wiki, the best one around. whether you 'take it seriously' or not, as a collection of referenced information, its reputation precedes it [18:20]	<AdmirableAckbar>	when they join [18:21]	<Gonk|Busy>	yeah, Acky [18:21]	<Bllasae>	QDB that [18:21]	<ChackJadson>	VC is something like 11-1, if Ataru votes against [18:21]	<Graestan>	All opposed, please just say "no" to my initial proposal so we can get a count. [18:21]	<Bllasae>	is it 15 or 16? [18:21]	<Bllasae>	or 13? [18:21]	<ChackJadson>	No limit [18:21]	<Toprawa>	The cut off is 13 by default [18:21]	<Bllasae>	ah [18:21]	<Ataru>	No. [18:21]	<AdmirableAckbar>	13, but in effect it would be 15 in most cases. [18:21]	<Soresu>	I say 13 [18:21]	<Graestan>	It's 15 in effect, per Gonk and Acky's logic. [18:21]	<Bllasae>	it should be like 15 [18:22]	<NaruHina>	I say 15 [18:22]	<Toprawa>	I agree 15 [18:22]	<Jedimca0>	The thing that matters is, that no one will support a nomination unless the person (if they are under 18) is mature enough and has been active for two days. [18:22]	* Ataru	would be fine with 15. [18:22]	<Soresu>	Agree then [18:22]	<Gonk|Busy>	You'd have to be a pretty sharp 11-year-old to start contributing awesomely and keep doing it for exactly two years. [18:22]	<GrandMoffTranner>	Yes, 15 [18:22]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Two days? o_O :P [18:22]	<Toprawa>	haha [18:22]	<Bllasae>	Per Gonk [18:22]	<Graestan>	XD [18:22]	<Ataru>	I think we have general consensus on this matter. [18:22]	<Jedimca0>	*years [18:22]	<Toprawa>	per Jedimca0, to reiterate, of course [18:22]	<Jedimca0>	O_o [18:22]	<Ataru>	The exception passes despite my half-hearted disapproval.

[18:22]	<Imperialles>	Moving on. [18:22]	<Gonk|Busy>	Jedimca0: you were thinking of Darthipedia ;) [18:23]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Glaug: only if you reveal your age [18:23]	<Imperialles>	Search icons. [18:23]	<NaruHina>	Agreed [18:23]	<Toprawa>	ugh, search icons are very tiring to look at [18:23]	<Jedimca0>	heh [18:23]	<Graestan>	Is anyone capable of and willing to make more search icons? [18:23]	<Gonk|Busy>	Somebody kill that fat Gonk search icon. [18:23]	<NaruHina>	The age must be confirmed [18:23]	<Enochf>	Heh [18:23]	<Glaug-Eldare>	yeah, if you never disclose your age, you're good either way [18:23]	<Glaug-Eldare>	lol [18:23]	<AdmirableAckbar>	I think Ozzel does them by request sort of.

[18:23]	<ChackJadson>	New search icons must be made [18:23]	<Enochf>	Oh, how I pine for my long lost Killer RoboLeia search icon [18:24]	<Imperialles>	The thing is, search icons are mainly for "old school" users, who prefer Monobook [18:24]	<Imperialles>	Most people won't ever see them [18:24]	<Toprawa>	The search icons remind of bad radio stations...replaying the same 8 crappy songs over and over and over :P [18:24]	<Graestan>	Can we just adopt one, so I can tune it out more easily? [18:24]	<AdmirableAckbar>	We used to just have the Wookiee one, didn't we? [18:24]	<Imperialles>	What I have done in the past is to actively weed out the icons that displeased me, and add a few new ones [18:24]	<Jedimca0>	we used to have just one.

[18:25]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Most of the icons aren't particularly interesting anyway. They're just FAs. [18:25]	<Soresu>	Only a select few users even use monobook. Anons and new users all use monaco [18:25]	<Jedimca0>	I wouldn't oppose to having just one... I use Monaco... :P [18:25]	<Toprawa>	I oppose just having one.

I use Monaco, but I'm really tired of seeing that Ewok arse like I see right freaking now. [18:25]	<Toprawa>	I support a movement to create new ones. [18:25]	<Enochf>	Eh. They do load slowly. [18:25]	<Toprawa>	Make a team [18:25]	<Gonk|Busy>	We do kind of what Culator did for the big image deletion thing. Set a date and anybody who cares should drastically increase the number of search icons, or else randomness goes away entirely and we have *one*. [18:25]	<Graestan>	Soresu: 90% of long-time users. [18:25]	<Imperialles>	The new one would have to be pretty generic. No Wookiee repeat. [18:26]	<Graestan>	Logo. [18:26]	<Cull_Tremayne>	What happened to adding a search icon for each new FA? Or however that went? [18:26]	<Ataru>	*Monobook [18:26]	<ChackJadson>	What was the old one? [18:26]	<Toprawa>	per Cull [18:26]	<Imperialles>	The problem with that is that, Gonk, is that someone might hastily make tons of new icons [18:26]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Cull: problem with that is some FAs don't really make a good looking icons [18:26]	<Graestan>	Cull: I'll just go make 400 new icons now. :P [18:26]	<Enochf>	I think a Viper probe droid icon would work [18:26]	<AdmirableAckbar>	A planet, say. [18:26]	<Imperialles>	They would be poor in quality [18:26]	<Tyber>	per cull, if possible [18:26]	<Enochf>	Probe droid = search [18:26]	<Cull_Tremayne>	Graestan: Good, someone should. :P [18:26]	<Graestan>	See you in November. [18:26]	<Gonk|Busy>	Well, obviously, "QUALITY icons" then :) [18:26]	<ChackJadson>	What was the old icon? [18:27]	<Ataru>	I think the pertinent question is, do we want more?

Perhaps it is time again to discuss what the definition of an administrator is. In the section on absence, "visit #wookieepedia" is listed as legitimate presence before contact is attempted prior to sysops removal. I don't see how this constitutes a presence on the wiki, and propose that the line be removed. Also, the time frames provided are extremely lenient... [18:32]	<Graestan>	...(contact at 6 months' absence, warning at 8, and removal at a year's absence), and I would also ask that a shortening of these figures be considered. The wiki changes a lot in even six months' time, and to expect the new user base to accept and trust someone who was elected years ago and hasn't been around since they became users is somewhat absurd. [18:32]	<Graestan>	First up: [18:32]	<NaruHina>	I'd say they have to make an edit within 6 months [18:32]	<Graestan>	Hanging out in IRC =/= contribution [18:32]	<Gonk|Busy>	I propose a hard MINIMUM four months for contact. Some of us have semesters to worry about. [18:32]	<Imperialles>	Completely agreed. [18:32]	<Toprawa>	Then one person makes an edit once every 6 months and they're still legitimate/ [18:32]	<Toprawa>	?* [18:32]	<ChackJadson>	6 months (should)= no more powah!

That's a /two-month window./ [18:33]	<ChackJadson>	Agreed [18:33]	<Cull_Tremayne>	Not in favor of this, just because it's incredibly easy to get past this. [18:33]	<Bllasae>	Agreed [18:33]	<Imperialles>	Per Grae. [18:33]	<Graestan>	Per Acky, but we all know how chummy some of the violators are. [18:33]	<Enochf>	Are we thinking of anyone in particular here? [18:34]	<Ataru>	That's reasonable, though I think we should have some exceptions.

[18:34]	<ChackJadson>	Ataru: yes [18:34]	<Graestan>	Enochf: It's been different people at different times.

[18:34]	<Graestan>	Hedid yesterday. [18:34]	<Imperialles>	If admins have a proper reason for their absence, I think (hope) that should be taken into consideration [18:34]	<ChackJadson>	Because of their situation, not because of who they are [18:34]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Per Imp. [18:34]	<Cylka>	Greyman still shows up every few days. [18:34]	<Bllasae>	Alright, so what's the deal then? [18:34]	<Ataru>	Per Imp on that. [18:34]	<NaruHina>	He should be an exception because he has no control of that [18:34]	<Tyber>	per imp [18:34]	<ChackJadson>	Grae: I know, just using him as an example [18:34]	<Jedimca0>	exceptions for people who announce they'll be away for some time for whatever reason. [18:34]	<Bllasae>	Greyman still edits, so there's no problem. [18:34]	<Imperialles>	I am on the Russian border. Internet is extremely scarce. [18:34]	<Graestan>	Imp: The communication disclaimer would remain in effect. [18:35]	<Ataru>	Okay, but what if he didn't. [18:35]	<Enochf>	Yeah, he does still edit. Point. [18:35]	<AdmirableAckbar>	There doesn't need to be a proper reason, though, I don't think. [18:35]	<Bllasae>	He still edits [18:35]	<Bllasae>	So what's the problem? [18:35]	<Ataru>	WE GET THAT. BUT WHAT IF HE WASN'T ABLE TO? [18:35]	<ChackJadson>	Greyman was just an example, people! [18:35]	<Cull_Tremayne>	Admins have come back from long absences and done fine. If admins had come back from long absences and thrown the site into a tizzy, then yes. Otherwise no. [18:35]	<Graestan>	Hey, easy.

[18:36]	<NaruHina>	Per Acky [18:36]	<Cull_Tremayne>	People need to take breaks. People that have become obsessive about the site are the problem imo. Case in point, Kuralyov. [18:36]	<Toprawa>	Is 2 or 3 months really the question here? I thought we were talking about /long-term/ inactivity [18:36]	<ChackJadson>	Per Acky [18:36]	<Graestan>	I just want to propose communication at four months, then five for warning, then six for auto-removal, and remove the #wookieepedia nonsense. [18:36]	<Bllasae>	Per Cull [18:36]	<Ataru>	Grae's proposal is fine. [18:36]	<ChackJadson>	Let's vote on Grae's idea, ok? [18:36]	<Bllasae>	Per Grae [18:36]	<Graestan>	Who's in favor? [18:36]	<Ataru>	Aye. [18:36]	<Gonk|Busy>	Aye [18:36]	<Bllasae>	I [18:36]	<Graestan>	Me, obviously.

[18:36]	<Enochf>	Oh.... OK, aye [18:36]	<NaruHina>	2-3 months is /long term/ for those who are supposed to lead it [18:37]	<Tyber>	ok [18:37]	<NaruHina>	Per Grae [18:37]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Me, with the clause that people can bugger off if they tell people when they'll be back. [18:37]	<Bllasae>	So Grae's proposal passes [18:37]	<Graestan>	Per Acky, but that is already there. [18:37]	<Soresu>	Wait auto-removal? [18:37]	<Imperialles>	Of course, Acky [18:37]	<AdmirableAckbar>	Oh, right. [18:37]	<Soresu>	Couldn't we have a removal of rights vote [18:37]	<Graestan>	Auto-removal, as in Imp or someone asks staff to remove their sysops. [18:37]	<Imperialles>	Auto-removal: Bureaucrat tells Wikia staff to remove powers and points to the policy [18:37]	<Cull_Tremayne>	We've never had to deal with it yet, but I hope that if the situation does arise, that we can be more lenient than this policy is proposing. [18:37]	<Bllasae>	Cull: like another month? [18:37]	<Imperialles>	I have already done it once, MarcK [18:38]	<Graestan>	No, voting invites cronyism on the part of their buddies on the wiki, who'd probably tip them off anyhow. [18:38]	<Imperialles>	;* [18:38]	<Ataru>	Well, if we get an admin e-mail from someone at 5.5 months, they should be fine, right? [18:38]	<Gonk|Busy>	One can always earn one's sysop back. [18:38]	<Bllasae>	Yeah, which means they'd come back to secure it [18:38]	<Graestan>	Per Gonk. [18:38]	<NaruHina>	No votes, just loss [18:38]	<Ataru>	Talking about the admin listserv, that is.

I admit that I have closed at least one such CT early in the past, not realizing that the snowball clause (overwhelming votes one way or another) only applied to the Trash compactor at the time.
