To-do list

  • 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
  • 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.

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. Jonny 22:21, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed and done :) Chris 22:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou! 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. 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 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.
  • 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 23rd Nov
