• 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 Legends category? (I'm not a mod; just adding my thoughts) 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.

To Do List

• 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

• 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. 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. Clizard 02:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• "I'm interested in becoming a year representative" - Kronos Year 10
• 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. Jonny 19:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC) Lower 6th
