| − | * I request to be a mod if ya need me --[[User:Oplopanax|Oplopanax]] 08:55, 14 Dec 2003 (GMT) (aka nic/zosdad of t.o.)
| |
| − | ** I second above. (edited to add: Maybe add LPetrich too?) --[[User:God Fearing Atheist|GFA]] 19:41, 14 Dec 2003 (GMT)
| |
| − | *** I second LPetrich as well. Not that we appear to have a great need for mods at present, although the EvoWiki is already too big for me to follow every development. --[[User:Oplopanax|oplo]]
| |
| − | *** I'm flattered at your appreciation of me; I'm not sure what my moderator responsibilities would be. -- [[User:Lpetrich|LP]]
| |
| − | ** Done both of the above, and sent messages telling you both what you can do as a mod! --[[User:Steinsky|Steinsky]] 15:26, 15 Dec 2003 (GMT)

| − | * Nominate [[User:Thomas Kettenring]], assuming he's willing? --[[User:Steinsky|Steinsky]] 00:51, 9 Apr 2004 (BST)
| |
| − | ** Oh! If we need that many admins, that's OK with me. I'll try to be more peaceful than last year, so I hope that the one admin I clashed with in the past won't object... --[[User:Thomas Kettenring]]
| |
| − | * Nominate [[User:TheIncredibleEdibleOompaLoompa]] (and assuming this already has TK's support). [[User:Steinsky|Joe D]] [[User_talk:Steinsky|(t)]] 13:45, 30 Jul 2005 (BST)

| − | ** Well that's fine with me, although I'll probably only use whatever priviledges I'm given to delete pages that I would have been blanking previously. If you don't mind the fact that I care more about editing than moderating, then I guess you can sign me up. :) [[User:TheIncredibleEdibleOompaLoompa|TheIncredibleEdibleOompaLoompa]] 17:38, 31 Jul 2005 (BST)

| − | * I joined this wiki lately. Well, mainly I'm reverting vandalism. If you trust me enough already, moderator priviledges might be handy for this (Recent changes patrol). [[User:Markus Schmaus|Markus Schmaus]] 00:11, 10 February 2006 (GMT)
| |
| − | ** Your account at Wikipedia looks good. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Markus_Schmaus] I'm for it.
| |
| − | * I nominate [[User:Apokryltaros|Apokryltaros]] who does the most vandal reverting at the moment. I think the tools would be helpful for him. --[[User:Thomas Kettenring|tk]] [[User_talk:Thomas_Kettenring|(t)]] 09:40, 27 February 2006 (GMT)

| |
| − | For lack of a better place at the moment, may I ask Steinsky: How is EvoWiki with backups? The project is reaching that point where it's starting to really get going, it is usually around this point that some kind of major crash occurs and much work is lost, which would of course discourage people from joining up. Perhaps there is some kind of auto-backup, or the Wiki software never crashes, but I figured I'd ask just in case. It would already be horrible to lose everything, we've created some good stuff... --[[User:Oplopanax|oplo]]
| |
| − | :I've been taking backups every month or so, and have one from mid november on cdrw and computer at uni. I've stuck another dump at http://www.evowiki.org/backup2003-12-24.sql, but I'm at my parents' house on a 56k so I can't be bothered downloading all 25MB to check that the backup worked alright. I'll take another one in a month, when I've finnished exams. The server owner used to make sure there were regular tape backups of everything, so it's probably all safe... --[[User:Steinsky|Steinsky]] 19:19, 24 Dec 2003 (GMT)
| |
| − | ::Thanks for the info, that's reassuring. We might consider making it a regular thing, especially if there was a way to automate the backup e.g. weekly. One would still lose alot if we lost a month. Obviously Xmas etc. will keep us all busy for the next few days so don't worry about it immediately...thanks! --[[User:Oplopanax|oplo]]

| − | In the latest version of MediaWiki there's a new feature for admins on the recent changes page: edits which have not yet been checked by an admin for vandalism (at least, I suggest using this only for vandalism, but we could use it for fact check/peer review, but that would then make checking RC a lot more time consuming) are marked with a <font color="red">'''!'''</font>. When you click on the "diff" link there is a link at the top of the page saying "Mark as patrolled" which will remove that <font color="red">'''!'''</font> from the RC page so that we don't have all the admins checking the same pages for vandalism.
