==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)
:::If you would like, I wouldn't mind becoming an admin to help you out. Thats only if you need/want help, though. Just thought I would offer. -[[User:ED|ED]] 03:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the offer. It sounds good, I'd appreciate the help. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 06:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
:::::Yup. I'll do what I can to help you now. -[[User:ED|ED]] 02:49, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
:::I wouldn't mind helping you out as an admin either. I'm on this site frequently clicking that Random Page button for some articles to read and maybe correct.--[[User:SPARTAN-137|Jack-137]] 14:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
::::Thanks for volunteering, but I think I'd prefer sticking with Ed for now. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 04:16, 14 September 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)
They were all but inactive and it was decided to discharge them.

:*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)

I concur, but the standards for administration would be very high, and an intricate system be set up. Hell, admins are only necessary for blocking vandals. Actually, ''do'' block J!MMY808. Just see the ~10 fanfic articles he wrote and the vandalism he did to the [[UNSC Carrier]] and [[UNSC Supercarrier]] pages b4 Vlad and I reverted those blasphemous edits and tagged those pages 4 deletion.

I just read what was happening of Halo Nation and Halopedia merging. I am a user of both because a lot of times one has some little details the other one does not. The merge news were great for me, like I am so excited, my only worry is the app. For me personally, the app is quite an easy access to the info.

== Angela ==
 
[[User:Angela|Angela]] is the cofounder of the wiki software, and so she has automatic sysop rights on every wikia wiki that exists, including ours. It surprises me how much she visits our site. She's not a dedicated member of our community, but I have seen her reverting edits, talking to users, and helping us out with our porject to get Halopedia its own Wikipedia article. Should she be added to the list of admins or at least mentioned on the page? -[[User:ED|ED]] 03:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah it always surprising when she drops in eh?  Writing that she has Sysop power would be a good idea ... unless that encourages people to write to her about trivial things, I'm sure she is busy enough. Maybe a disclaimer like local Admins handle local problems? -- [[User:Esemono|Esemono]] 04:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

== Porple ==
 
Hey, I just checked [[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage's]] contributions, and he hasn't been on since AUGUST! I think that qualifies as inactivity. His name should be taken off the list above. And, no, I don't think he needs a replacement. Esemono and Dragonclaws and ED have things taken care of.
