This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more BattleTechWiki contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of BattleTechWiki's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
This page in a nutshell: Editors & Admins are nearly identical; good Editors provide an immense amount of value to the BTW project. |
What is a BattleTechWiki Editor?
- A BattleTechWiki Editor is interested in creating, writing, modifying and improving articles that interest him.
- She enjoys locating new tidbits of information that may not yet exist on BTW and then inserting them in the appropriate places.
- He is interested in seeing the total amount of knowledge on BTW increased constantly, with the goal of encompassing everything BattleTech.
- She is involved in the writing and discussion of the policies, essays and procedures that help shape the site.
- He seeks out and aids in projects that help categorize the wide variety of information currently available.
- She advertises the site's existence when and where ever possible, to both highlight the resource we have all built and to bring in new Readers and Editors to the fold.
- He proposes, crafts and imports new products and features that will enhance a first-time Reader's visit and help 'sell' the value of the site.
- She guides and assists Readers and other Editors in resolving their problems with information (or direction to policies, essays or procedures) or in answering their questions.
What is a BattleTechWiki Admin?
- All of the above Editor's qualities, plus
- the ability to access pages (such as the Main Page) that are locked to protect from vandalism, and
- deal with vandals that seek to harm the site for whatever reason control them.
