Get a new Wiki sysop

[stormeus]

Mario_Rinna has been very inactive, and my editor application has been under consideration for months with no response. No one has access to editing. The information is very outdated, and there are no new editors being added.

My suggestion is to either change the editing restrictions, or get a new, active sysop.
EDIT: Sysop = Main Admin or System Operator. Think of it as a wiki webmaster

[SugarD]

Agreed. I applied after Gandalf suggested it to me a few months ago, and I received no response either. I added information on many of the talk pages of what needed updating so admins on the wiki could do it themselves, but it seems someone thought it'd be funny to blank it out and not update anything so they could cover up their lack of work...

I would disagree with changing the restrictions especially if it will allow any regular tom to go and change things willy nilly. It would be much better to have a few more active people to work on the wiki when need be.

Honestly if the SysOps were active, it wouldn't be an issue for anyone to change it anyway. Either situation would work just fine as long as someone is there to make it happen :P

As far as i know, TeaM_Patton is working on keeping the wiki up to date.

If he is, he's the only one.

Half the people listed aren't in Argo anymore, are inactive, or are too busy to edit anything.

This, we had problems with spammers and still have bots who register on weekly basis; loosening the restriction could result in more of them registering and posting content. On the other hand, I do have a copy of the wiki on my local machine which I use to develop it - words, pictures and layouts - and just copy / paste on the wiki when I have it done; recent amount of free time has let me push a lot of changes I have planned, and hopefully much more will be added today and tomorrow if everything goes well. If you feel something is wrongly written or wish to add something, PM me over the forums or MSN, or make a talk page for it and it will be added.

Then help Patton with pointing out what needs to be changed / updated.

I did. Someone I don't need to name, (although it's fairly obvious who), went in and blanked out every talk page I mentioned updates on without updating anything. I tried to help out those who still update it, but a certain person seems to prefer covering things up instead...

[stormeus]

While I know Patton has been very helpful around the wiki, we can't be relying on one editor for everything. If Patton ever goes inactive, all work comes to a halt, which negates the point of having a wiki in the first place.

Maybe promote patton to sysop?

[SugarD]

He definitely deserves it, but the only guy capable of that besides the Server Owners is quite inactive himself...

Promote Patton to Sysop and allow Argonath Administration to update their own info.

[Seanolk]

Promote Patton to Sysop and allow Argonath Administration to update their own info.

I totally agree on this.
