Welcome to the Grand Theft Wiki Staff Noticeboard. This is a space for staff to issue notices and invite discussion amongst staff. Here, staff can explain recent events, things to watch out for and potential changes; or request comments, suggestions and ideas on anything on the Wiki.

This page is to be edited by Staff only. If you would like to discuss an issue mentioned here, please use the talk page.

Please start a new section for every new topic, and don't forget to indent properly and sign your comments.

Task List

I'd like to remind all our Staff of the Task List I created. This outlines the various cleanup and administrative tasks for admins and editors. Pick some tasks that you can regularly check on, and try to keep on top of those. Managers should ensure that all the tasks on that page are looked at periodically, if not regularly. Feel free to add more to the list, comment on the talk page, or discuss here - Gboyers ^talk 01:44, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned pages

Something we need to work on is Orphaned Pages (Lonely Pages). These are 141 pages which nothing links to (excluding categories). Categories are NOT the main way of navigating the Wiki, they're meant to be used to "find more stuff like this". Articles are the main way to find things, and lists can be very effective if used well. So can we start spamming links to some of these orphaned pages? It's pretty much a one-off job, then we can just keep an eye on it. Thanks - Gboyers ^talk 01:50, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Potential Candidate Administrators

I'd like to suggest the following users be considered for candidacy for advancement to Administrator status:

In my opinion, these editors seem to make very good edits, handle things in a mature manner, and generally work to improve the wiki and the community. Eganio^Talk 03:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

E-mail from Sukhoi-35BM

I would like to post here a copy, word-for-word, of an e-mail I received today from Sukhoi-35BM. I responded to his e-mail on his talk page, since he does not have e-mail activated on his Grand Theft Wiki user account.

“

So...I was banned without warning? Dude, the other admin was
a) being a cocksucker
and
b) abusing his power. He was talking down to me, to I talked to him like I would to any cocksucker. I have nothing against you, but perhaps better selection of admins is necessary...

”

I've been wanting to use that template for a while, now ;) --GuildKnight^Talk2me 03:46, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
