BRGS Wiki Events and Changes

New Proposals on Rules for Moderation

Thanks for all your edits, viewing and support over the last couple of months. The site grew over 50% in September, in page hits and is looking to do so in unique hits too, according to our statistics page. As the site grows, it is inevitable that a wider audience will come along. Searching for something related to BRGS, like "fuller brgs" returns results from certain UK search engines to pages here.

Therefore, we now have a responsibility for a minimum level of quality - by making sure spelling and grammar is mostly correct and that articles are not offensive, nor rely on using swear words. To bring all current and future articles to this standard, a new proposal for the editing guidelines has been submitted and now features on the front page. We'd appreciate constructive feedback and edits on the draft. There will be no punishment for users not following the guidelines.

The To-do list

If you ever have a spare 20mins or so, or would like a section added and don't have time, the Community Portal now plays host to the to-do list.

New Colours

To give BRGS Wiki a more BRGS-esque theme, we've been experimenting with the colours. Hopefully they'll all work and are better (or at least more unique) than the defaults.

It begins From Myspace

So, the BRGS Wiki MySpace profile has been up and running for a few days now, and I'm pleased to report that you seem to be flocking to join up and help support the site. Better still, the Wiki itself now has some extra features, including a detailed statistics link at the bottom of the page that will take you to all the information you could possibly want about the site, and- perhaps more importantly- show you how many people access the page every day and see your work.

Now all we have to do is work out a way to appeal to the masses... any ideas?

Recommended Visits

The Community Portal is a great place to suggest ideas and gauge reaction to your plans.

The editing guidelines should be read before you dive in, as you can get some great tips on how to format your work, and avoid the wrath of the moderators!

If you can think of a way to improve this site, please suggest it in the Wiki Discussion area.

Any requests for moderation of pages can be made in the Moderation Requests section.

The moderators can be contacted in several ways - check here for ways to do this!

All "old" or redundant content is now in the Archive.
