		+	====Student Lists====
		+
		+	I notice that on nearly all pages about a form group, there is a different system for listing students within that form, and with many only having a small list of members. Would it be a good idea to try and standardise these sections for easier use, or just to make the Wiki look neater?
		+
		+	This would probably take a lot of time to do, but I feel it would improve this Wiki.
		+	I would like to hear what fellow editors think about it.

 ====Stub of the week====
 I was thinking the site could have a section on the main page for a particular page, which is in need of clean-up or filling out, which would be featured for a week, month or even daily. This could be particularly useful for retired teachers, old students and just general topics without much information, such as [[Mr Chambers]] and others. This would pull in group knowledge, and allow us to vastly improve some articles. [[User:Electric592|Electric]] 16:48, 4 November 2010 (GMT)
+: I like it, so there's now a link on the main page for [[Sixth Form]] and then we'll do [[Mr Chambers]] and if anyone else wants to recommend a few more... [[User:Clizard|Clizard]]
-====Email addresses for moderators====
-Moderators currently rely on the brgswiki@hotmail.co.uk address, which is slightly unprofessional and I'm not sure if everyone gets the email from it.

-Since the facility is available, I can add @brgswiki.org addresses, that can be checked by an IMAP client (e.g. outlook/thunderbird/etc).

-::I'd like to point out that all but one e-mail received thus far on the Hotmail address is a friend request on MySpace. The ONLY other e-mail received was the one from Darren Vass that has been discussed. I also believe that having one central address means that everyone is certain to know about any correspondence, particularly [[Clizard]] as he is the webhost.. {{User:Chris/sig}} 22:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

 ====Extensions====
 I think it'd really help the wiki if we had these extensions installed:
 '''[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Email_notification Email Notification]''' - allows you to receive an email if any of your watched pages have been edited.
 '''[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Username_Blacklist UsernameBlacklist]''' - stops people creating usernames that look like IP addresses, or that contain swear words (and so on)
-'''[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SpecialUserScore SpecialUserScore]''' - I think it'd just be interesting to see how many contributions everyone has.
+'''[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SpecialUserScore SpecialUserScore]''' ('''Implemented''') - I think it'd just be interesting to see how many contributions everyone has.
 '''[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DeletedContributions DeletedContributions]''' - allows moderators to check a user's deleted pages so we can see their entire editing history (deleted pages are removed otherwise)
-'''[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Whos_Online Who's Online?]''' - again, just an interesting one I think
+'''[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Whos_Online Who's Online?]''' ('''No: Privacy''') - again, just an interesting one I think.

-'''[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Permissions Permissions]''' - a lot clearer (and updates itself) than [[What can each user do?]]
-−
-'''[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Page_by_page_access Page by page access]''' - a lot easier for private discussion on the wiki if we can set up pages like this
 '''[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Newuserlog NewUserLog]''' - we can easily see if a user's contributions were simply because they were new or if they were vandalising. Also, it'd be interesting to see how many new users we get per week.
