User talk:Daxx

From Polarity

Hi! Well done for setting up the wiki, I might have done it myself if no-one else had. I noticed you asked if there could be a copy of the rules on the wiki, and you talked about modifications. Perhaps it might be a good idea to have a rules page with the official rules (including all their ambiguities etc.), a page to sort out all the issues with the rules (perhaps with frequently raised issues) and a seperate page where modifications to the rules or the rules wording could be hashed out by users of the wiki. What sort of other plans do you have for the wiki? It would be interesting to find out - if this gets large and you need assistance I would be happy to help out as a moderator, I have a fair amount of wiki experience. See you around. --Daxx 14:29, 15 January 2006 (PST)

Hi Daxx, you now have full rights. :) Thanks for your additions. You are right, a set of the full rules (protected) should be up with and openly edited version, and then a section for clarification for different situations. We'll see how they respond. --RobKohr 15:52, 15 January 2006 (PST)

I think it is best to leave it unprotected and fix the problem if it occurs. Changes are easy to roll back, and we also have a protected original version. I think the whole idea of a gatekeeper is a very unwiki idea, and in essence it makes the admins of this wiki take the place of TempleGames as the gatekeeper for the final rules. There is nothing sacred about the published rules, and this means if someone has a brilliant fix for, lets say, the entire fault system, they can stick it in and not have to bother getting community support. If they do something stupid, roll it back. If they continue to do it, then consider protecting. I just like to leave the wiki flow on its own. If you noticed the main site page for the entire system [1] isn't even protected. --RobKohr 11:28, 2 February 2006 (PST)
