| − | I'd prefer the 2.30pm one, simply to get it out of the way and so I don't have to come on the computer that late [[User:Jonathan Parton|Jonny]] <sup>[[User_talk:Jonathan Parton|talk]] • [[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]]</sup> 18:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

| − |
| |
| − | Well, firstly, not everyone goes to the school any more. Also, we can't expect time out of lessons for something that the school hasn't really 'sanctioned'. A question I have though is: how are we going to do this? It's going to impossible to have a conversation on a page on the wiki as people will just keep getting edit conflicts and we'll get nowhere. I don't really want to post my MSN address on a public website, and I'm sure lots of other people are the same. So are you just going to set up a free forum/chat board or something for it?

| − | I know that Dave is a whizz-kid with computers, so it might be possible for him (or anyone else for that matter, if Dave doesn't have the time), to set up an IRC chatroom with a link on the main page closer to the time? [[User:Lenny|Lenny]] 21:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It's likely to be over an IRC or equivalent channel, possibly based around this site. Definitely CANNOT be in school hours, as the wiki is blocked at school for a start, as are all chat rooms. [[Chris_Priestley|Chris]] <sup>[[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]]</sup> 21:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

| |
| − |
| |
| − | I assume that's because you are a sysop. The ban should extend to everyone else, and I assume this is the case as no one seems to be making any edits during the day. [[Chris_Priestley|Chris]] <sup>[[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]] - [[User_talk:Chris|talk]]</sup> 21:36, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

| − | I'm quite confident that I could get round both the school system and the block on the school IP, I just need to try it one lesson. Saying that, though, I spend too much time on computers so know a few tricks, whereas most of the users wouldn't have a clue. Danny Smith told me the other day that he wasn't able to edit his page at school, so I think it works. [[User:Lenny|Lenny]] 23:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I still think the block has done the job though: even if a minority can get around it, the number of edits will be so small (<10) that we'll be able to easily check them all quickly. [[User:Jonathan Parton|Jonny]] <sup>[[User_talk:Jonathan Parton|talk]] • [[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]]</sup> 23:56, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

| − | Exactly, it's worked out extremely well as far as I can tell, as despite reducing the level of contributions, the edits we have now are generally of good quality. [[Chris_Priestley|Chris]] <sup>[[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]] - [[User_talk:Chris|talk]]</sup> 17:43, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

| |
| − | Meeting is now not a meeting, but a [[Suggestions]] page. The music department is on a separate network (or at least was a year ago) so I that may have a separate IP. I don't see many daytime edits so I think it's done the job. Keeping the block going is a matter for [[Suggestions|discussion]]. [[User:Clizard|Clizard]] 00:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

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)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *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)

| |
| − | * Uploads need a lot of work with retransferring all the old files, since it's no longer compatible. Good news is that all new uploads work. Bad news is that all old images are broken until I get them fixed. Shouldn't take too long! Made my edits invisible whilst I do this. [[User:Clizard|Clizard]] 18:42, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

| − | ===Protected pages===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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)

| |

| |
| − | Thankyou! [[User:Jonathan Parton|Jonny]] 22:26, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I think we should limit the number of protected pages, as protection is only needed when vandalism is a real problem. This may be the case with [[Kroll]] and [[Heskey]] - but not all the time so they don't really need protection. Wikipedia uses protection to stop massive vandalism, e.g. George Bush. I'm not sure if our legendary students stir up this much controversy/hate. Main page and technical pages are fine when it's important. [[User:Clizard|Clizard]] 00:03, 24 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: Student Legends]]; [[:Category: Teacher Legends]] and [[:Category: Other Legends]] 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: Student Legends]]; [[:Category: Teacher Legends]] and [[:Category: Other Legends]] 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.
