==Halopedia Leaders==
{{Archived}}
Well, since we have moved from the old location, It seems like AgentSeethroo has stoped coming here altogether. Porplemontage and Buz almost never come here, and I don't see any admins from the previous site. So who is in charge of Halopedia now? Is Dragonclaws the only leader? Is there need for any more Admins? -[[User:ED|ED]] 04:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
==Honorably Discharged==
:[[User:Porplemontage]] and [[User:Dragonclaws]] are the admins of the site --[[User:210.174.41.209|210.174.41.209]] 04:41, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
::I know that. But Porplomontage only visits the site once a month or so, at least according to his contribs. That leaves Dragonclaws to perform all the duties of an admin. -[[User:ED|ED]] 05:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
:::And what persay are the duties of the admin?  My understanding the only differnce is that between an admin and other users is that admin can grant admin status to normal users ... and delete pages which never happens here anyway. --[[User:210.174.41.209|210.174.41.209]] 15:49, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
::::And ban vandals, and edit system messages (like the copyright note at the bottom of an editing page). I would have to agree that we are not at full power with only one admin. However, I don't find this much different than the norm. AgentSeethroo would only pop in occasionally to talk about where he wanted Halopedia to go, Porplemontage only handled the technical side, and Buz only showed up at the very begining before leaving. Now that we've moved, I'm not sure who's in charge anymore myself. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 19:14, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

==Admin policy==
Several admins were "Honorably Discharged" in April. I was just wondering what this meant. Reddy645 22:49, August 20, 2010 (UTC)


We need to state a clear admin policy we can't just be passing out admin rights to everyone.  Now with more admins we don't know if they're going to just give admin privilages to all their friends, people the community hasn't chosen.  We need a clear policy of voting in New Admins. --[[User:210.174.41.209|210.174.41.209]] 00:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

:There is only one new admin, and that is me. I have been part of Halopedia for almost a year now, and I can assure you, I would not just randomly give out admin privledges. I was given them because, as per a concern I have had over the past year, there has been only one admin actively monitoring the site. I don't intend to make new admins without consulting Dragonclaws. In fact I leave it up to him entirely if he wants more admins. The general policy is stated on [[Halopedia:Administrators]].  -[[User:ED|ED]] 02:50, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

As long  as ED doesn’t go power mad there’s nothing wrong with him being an Admin, and it seems for now that two Admin’s will be enough. But as ED say’s on his user page  “'''With three more books, another game and a full length motion picture planned for the future, I suspect Halopedia will double, maybe triple, in size'''.” So there may be need for more help in the future.        -[[User:Climax Viod|Climax Viod]] 11:13, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

The [[User:Zervon]] , needs to be added to the Admin list as he was able to protect this page, [[User:Zervon/monobook.css]].  Protecting a page is one of the things only admins can do right?  Maybe this guy was made admin by [[User:ED]] as one of Ed's support staff or does this particluar type of page become protected when ANYbody creates it?--[[User:John117|John117]] 02:08, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
