{{Developer}}
Hi there, I've noticed on recent changes that you have been working tirelessly on templates over the last few days and you clearly seem to know all the codes for things unlike me. A template I use an awful lot is the welcome template, which I put on the talkpage of every new user that signs up. I thought you may be interested in giving it some colour or an image etc because the message given is perfectly fine, but it appears to be fairly simple compared to what you've been doing (I seriously can't do many codes!) so I thought I'd let you know so you could give it a new lease of life. Hope your enjoying the wiki. All the best. {{User:BRGSMan/sig}} 21:35, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I'll change the template. '''''[[User:Alan|Alan]] 00:32, 4 April 2010 (UTC)'''''
+
What have you got that stops us from editing the user page, cause you'll need to to everyone else's opinion.

I know that you mean well but this isnt wikipedia and we dont nessecerly need the exact same words for templates throwing a new word into the mix will make sorting out all these small articles a nightmare. Thanks {{User:Camponhoyle/sig}} 19:18, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
  
Also, I've started the [[Templates]] page, as a database of sorts for each template. I think keeping the number used to a minimum would be helpful. If you make any more can you add them to this page so that all Admins know when to use each one. ''{{User:Chris/sig}} 14:55, 4 April 2010 (UTC)''
 
  
===Admin===

Hi, I've just archived your messages, just to clear up your talk page. {{User:BRGSMan/sig}} 13:14, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
  
OK, you're now an Admin! We'll review how you're doing after two weeks. Don't feel under too much pressure to do anything, we'll base it on your general contribution and not a specific number of edits or the amount of time you spend on here. BRGSMan seems to be on here a lot so I'm sure he'll be able to give you pointers too if needs be. Just bear in mind there is a [[Bans]] policy if there's any dodgy edits, again if you aren't sure ask one of us for advice.
+
And all these templates are good but the system worked fine with what we already had and having hundreds of templates doesnt make our job any easier but very confusing. And although hese new templates are well and good wouldnt it be easier to just do some editing yourself. According to your contributions you have only edited your own page.{{User:Camponhoyle/sig}} 16:37, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Admin. There's no specific requirement, if you want to become an admin we can start you off on a trial period for a couple of weeks. You seem familiar with Wikis so there shouldn't be a problem - there's a basic outline [[Administrator Policy|here]]. If you're interested let me know.

Adding a bit of content to pages rather than just creating templates and categories, whether it be about teachers or students. Also to look at pages that others have edited on recent changes and clear up spelling and grammar errors, as well as anything potentially offensive or content just not worthwhile.

Just a note, I'm away for the next few days with school so you will have to watch the wiki a bit more than usual, putting the idea above into practice. Chris can add his comments on top of what I've put. All the best, {{User:BRGSMan/sig}} 20:27, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

I'd pretty much agree, I'd say you're doing fine. I think the point about only using a couple of templates is valid, we probably have enough now. Also, as you're currently at school it'd be good to get updates on which teachers are still there etc. Otherwise, good job! ''{{User:Chris/sig}} 08:01, 21 April 2010 (UTC)''
