Guild Wars Wiki talk:Sysop discretion log

From Guild Wars Wiki

[edit] Other uses

Can this log also be used for actions which are not permitted or forbidden by policy? For example, if I made a discretionary block or protected several templates and wanted feedback, could I create an entry in the log? If so, should there be separate sections for actions contradicting policy and actions merely outside of policy? -- Gordon Ecker 01:46, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I would not mind them here, but GWW:RFC and the admin notice board would serve that purpose as well. --Xeeron 12:10, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Currently, the purpose of the admin notice board is to allow users to quickly get into contact with any available admin due to an issue which requires administrative action, however its' scope could be expanded, with a new section for admins to post feedback requests. -- Gordon Ecker 01:26, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I think you should also be allowed to use this page whenever you are unsure. poke | talk 06:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

No policy disallows using it, just requires it in some cases.

I do think it's a good idea idea to use it anytime something may be controversial, even if it is in principle established use: the reason being the section below. Sure, the notice board can be used, but that implies any debate happens on the notice board too. Backsword 10:51, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comments and challenges

Where should comments and challenges go? IMO they should go on the talk page rather than going in the log itself, with lengthly discussions being moved to their own subpages if necessary. -- Gordon Ecker 01:51, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes. --Xeeron 12:10, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I think a short note ("Challenged", "Contested" or similar) could be made on the log, and link to the discussion or subpage. That way it's easier to navigate and read up on discussions and decisions. - anja 12:23, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure. — ク Eloc 貢 21:29, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
