== Page Name Proposal == | |||
I'm not sure if there is enough of a need to make this change, but I want to present the idea as an option. On [[Special:ListGroupRights]] there is a section for Moderators. The link for Moderator is red because the page doesn't exist. Unfortunately, when this page was created, the title "Moderation" was chosen. Either the link on the Special page needs to be changed, or this page needs to be moved to the page name FamilySearch Wiki:Moderator. My choice would be to change the name of this page to Moderator. I welcome other thoughts and ideas. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 19:21, 25 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
:I agree that the link in the special page should link to this information. The best option would be to move this page as changing the link in the special page would be a modification to the standard MediaWiki installation, which I believe is not encouraged. I will make the move and if anyone objects it can be reversed. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 08:23, 26 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
::Excellent, and thanks for the quick follow-up in moving the page. I was concerned about the Special pages link being part of the standard MediaWiki installation, but I didn't know for sure if that was the case. So, thanks for the details and reasoning behind why the page move was the best option. -[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 17:01, 26 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
We also need to set up a Forum for moderators. Two purposes: One, so the requests for being a moderator can be added to the Forum instead of private email to the administrator. Two, so moderators can begin communicating with each other to share ideas and successful stories about their moderator activities. We might choose to set up a thread within one of the Wiki Forums we already have, but I'd prefer to have a separate Forum. Any other ideas? --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 17:42, 25 April 2010 (UTC) | == List of moderators needs improvement == | ||
We need to enhance the list of moderators and at the same time show all the localities that still do not have moderators. Is there a way to create a template or a drop-down template for the major locality areas that also allows someone to select the option to request to be the moderator? Some areas might also need assistant moderators, so more than one link would be need to request it. The same is needed for the major subject areas like the ones already on the page. I know there are other main subject areas not listed. I've only listed those for whom we have a moderator already. | |||

We recently received a request for someone to become a moderator and talked through the various things we wanted to know to evaluate them. I added a list of those things in the "Become a Moderator" section on the page. Any thoughts/suggestions?

:We brought the "Become a moderator" list up in a meeting yesterday and had some good discussion and made some revisions to it on the main page. Thoughts?

Is anyone really attached to that introductory heading "moderation" that is front and center for someone reading the page? If you remove the heading completely, the page begins with the short paragraph explaining what a moderator is, and then the subheadings provide details.
