User blog:Zane T 69/Wiki Improvements

After being here for a little while, I have come to notice areas of improvement for the wiki. I created this blog, so that we as a community can discuss this.

Forums- We have none, this is an important part of a wiki. We could have advice forums, discuss rules, and other wiki matters, without flooding our talk pages with it. This would make it more open, and accessable. More users would feel comfortable talking there, because its public. And doesn't have someones name on the talkpage, essentially marking it as property.

Where are the Admins? Here. But why does that information require digging through wiki pages, or knowing exactly how to search. I suggest we should make this information more easily found, in the header of the wiki. Which is at the top, has On the Wiki, Seasons, etc.. Perhaps removing the random page option for space, and putting an admin noticeboard for reports of broken rules, and issues. Which all admins and rollbacks should watch when they can, or get an email alert when its posted on.

Furthermore, some admins haven't edited in, this year (2016). Why do they have the position. if they don't work for the community? They should be removed, from the positions, and elections should be held for more active users. Those are just Admins and Bureaucrats. How active are other ranked users who were given power to better the wiki?

What are the rules of this wiki? Does it have any? Why are they not posted where they can be easily found? Here they are I suggest they be placed in the header. How can we know we're obeying the rules, if we don't know them? Simply put, we can't. We could have already earned being blocked without knowing it. Some of those rules, like the three revert rule need to be removed.

Vandalism by, anonymous users. Most of it is done by them, and most wiki's have blocked unregistered users from editing. Is that harsh, to those who obey the rules? Yes, but it will help the fight against vandalism. I suggest we do the same. It can be easily done, on the WikiFeatures page, on Admin Dashboard.

Opinions, and criticisms of my views are welcome. So long as they don't break rules.
