Project Redcap:Community portal

This page is about the community of contributors to Project: Redcap. For the broader community of Ars Magica players, see fan community.

This community portal page is a workspace for administrators and contributors. It's the hub where we propose ideas, share news, and coordinate on plans for evolving this wiki.

This page is meant to be edited! Add your own proposals and thoughts. Don't be afraid to use the Discussion page!

Announcements

• Rename (move) Project Redcap: Current events to something like "Project Redcap: Announcements?"

Change Proposals

• Proposed 2024-01-24: Remove page Project Redcap:Copyrights. Move copyright related content to Project Redcap:Terms of Service and trademark related content to Project Redcap: General disclaimer. The Copyrights page has 17 inbound links that would need to be updated, and a redirect should be created so any inbound links from the internet can go to the new content User:Andrew Gronosky

Ideas

Revisit Purpose

In light of the news that Ars Magica Definitive Edition will be community licensed, we have a chance to expand the Project Redcap: Purpose purpose of this site. We can use it as a publishing hub, a one-stop shop for the Ars Magica community to develop new open-licensed content for Ars Magica. I think this will take some thought about how to organize and label such content. Users who don't want their open licensed content edited willy-nilly by other users should post on their own non-wiki websites and link to them from Project:Redcap. User:Andrew Gronosky

Add Bureaucrats

Users with administrator privileges are called "bureaucrats" in MediaWiki documentation.

I'd like to see people volunteer for the bureaucrat role. Bureaucrats share the work of:

• Creating user accounts when requested
• Responding to moderation requests -- which happen rarely
• Patrolling the "recent changes" page and deleting spam and banning user accounts.

Update Main Menu

Consider updating the main menu to added pages such as:

• A landing page for contributors, such as Project Redcap: Getting Started
• A landing page for help
