I think the [[Main Page]] should be completely protected even for registered users as it doesn't need editing anyway: you just go to the relevant section and it automatically updates. Also, the [[Current Events]] page might as well be protected as it's only mods who are going to be adding news and protecting it removes the possibility of vandalism. [[Contact]] would also be better fully protected to avoid people substituting their email addresses in or something. [[User:Jonathan Parton|Jonny]] 22:21, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

===The "legends section" discussion===
+
 
+
*As students are no longer allowed on the Legends page (for what reason?), I propose a new category for Legends within the Student body, whether it be the student body as a whole, or by year group (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Sixth Form) - ie Students that are well known in their year groups and other year groups for various reasons. These students include people like [[James Hesketh]], [[Simon Kroll]], [[James Lendrum]], and [[Felix Mulderrig]], etc. Each year group knows who these Legends are, and so each year group should be allowed to mark them as Legends.
+
 
+
*Yeah, that seems a bit stupid really; because now we're just going to end up with two categories for basically the same thing. Why aren't students allowed in the [[:Category:Legends|Legends]] category? (I'm not a mod; just adding my thoughts) [[User:Jonathan Parton|Jonny]] 21:32, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
+
 
+
*Adding to what I earlier proposed - should students be allowed back into the Legends Category, it may be worth splitting the Legends category as a whole into Teacher, Student, Building, Other rather than having two 'Legends' categories.
+
 
+
*I think that would work: if we had a master '[[:Category:Legends]]'; then add [[:Category:StudentLegend]]; [[:Category:TeacherLegend]] and [[:Category:OtherLegend]] into there. Then simply lock the master page, so that people can't be accidentally added into there and use one of the minor categories for whatever you want. Then they'll be categorised; everyone will still turn up on the master 'Legend' page, but it'll be more organised. [[User:Jonathan Parton|Jonny]] 22:15, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
+
 
+
*OK; I just did that. [[:Category:StudentLegend]]; [[:Category:TeacherLegend]] and [[:Category:OtherLegend]] are all in the master category [[:Category:Legends]]. (Sorry for messing up [[Recent Changes]] whilst I did it. [[User:Jonathan Parton|Jonny]] 22:39, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

+
*I think this is a decent compromise, as personally I don't believe students who spend two, five, seven.. whatever years of their life in school can really compare with someone who has been "enriching education" for forty years or more. But I think this could work - well thought up ''[[Chris_Priestley|Chris]] 23rd Nov

==To Do List==
+
 
+
* <s>Need a page for the legend that is [[Mr Chadwick]]
+
 
+
* '''ATTENTION!''' [[Mrs Greaves]]' section in the [[retired teachers]] department needs some serious expansion before we forget any of the great stories connected with the mother of all language teachers. Any assistance much appreciated.
+
 
+
* Where is the page on [[Mrs Hughes]]??!! There should be a huge section on her quotes, like 'My knobs a bit stiff' from Tuesday
+
 
+
* -[[UCAS]]-
+
 
+
* Perhaps we could add something about school trips since these are fairly regular and static between years. The area below supply teachers may be a good place to place a link to a school trips category.

==General Discussion==

==Times on Recent Changes==
  
*People who object to their pages may of course edit them. Lower school I think should be able to request their removal. In case of someone wiping a page of content, I will generally reverse and then balance the page to positive/neutral content if necessary. [[User:Clizard|Clizard]] 02:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

The times shown on the recent changes page are 1 hour behind. I think this should be sorted out. I hope this helped [[User:Dangerousx|Dangerousx]] 20:34, 30 September 2010 (BST)
  
*An update on inappropriate pages: Current policy is a 1-3 day ban for non-school ips (practically, edits outside school hours that are against the basic editorial guidelines). We currently have moderators from upper sixth and the previous year's upper sixth, however we could do with representatives from other years also, if interested, add your account before (and also make sure you've added constructive edits to the wiki before). Pages can now be protected to be editable by members only. Once I get time to test and sort out the system, this will become an effective tool to preventing repeated malicious edits, without completely restricting pages like before. There's also a few other things on the new system that need to be tweaked still. [[User:Clizard|Clizard]] 02:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I've noticed that, It's because the server time on recent changes is for GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) but we are currently at BST (British Summer Time) because we went an hour forward way back in March. The time on the end of posts is correct because they are BST. Don't worry though, the times will go back to 'normal' at the end of October when the clocks go back! {{User:BRGSMan/sig}} 21:10, 30 September 2010 (BST)
  
* "I'm interested in becoming a year representative" - [[Kronos]] Year 10

==Archive==
* I'll be a representative; but I don't have many edits under a username (as opposed to an IP address); so you might want to wait. [[User:Jonathan Parton|Jonny]] 19:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC) Lower 6th

Times on Recent Changes

The times shown on the recent changes page are 1 hour behind. I think this should be sorted out. I hope this helped Dangerousx 20:34, 30 September 2010 (BST)
