Unfortunately, LDC never got around to porting the
promote/demote
feature of Phase II to Phase III, so Jimbo (possibly a developer)
will have to promote you two. I'm sure nobody will object to your
promotion.
I already did. Any of the developers can do it directly to the
database. I do plan to build screens for that, but I've got my head
buried in a new recent changes implementation at the moment that I
really want to get out first.
Again I would like to restate my proposal to have an
'old hand'
status that would allow users that have been around a while and
are generally trusted to move pages and edit protected pages.
Not everyone wants to have to keep up with the mailing list or
have the burden of being seen as some type of cop just to have
the ability to do stuff like moving pages or editing the Front
Page. These things can't really be entrusted to totally green
users that signed-up 5 minutes before and are totally unaware of
our editing policies and naming conventions but I see no reason
to deny this to longtime users.
If you want to give this out more freely (and I agree it should be),
then it will become a maintenance headache unless it's automated
somehow. Obviously "logged in as a user" is one criterion, and then
something like having edited some number of articles over some period
of time.
Aside.... Is the name "Pedia Wiki" used
anymore? Or does our
wikiware have no name? :-(
If you think it oughta have a name, give it one!
