:: As it should, IMO. The chatter should go on talk. -- ] 19:17, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

==Purpose==

I'm curious what the purpose is of this board, is it merely for admins to facilitate in inter-admin communcation, or also for regular users who require assistance of some random admin? -- ]\<sup>]</sup>]] 11:21, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

:I intend it for admins to talk about admin related things. Wikipedians already have ]. I've created it because there is a need for admins to communicate with one another and I have not been able to communicate things by messaging all admins. Apart from it being totally impractical to ask these things in general (we have to use the mailing list, and IMO these things should be left for Misplaced Pages), it's frowned upon to message all admins anyway when asking for help. Little admin "cliques" are formed of admins who know one another and communicate things, so different ideas on adminship are thought out. This board gives us a forum to talk about admin related tasks and issues, that way we can see what's going on and communicate thoughts on a pretty tough job. I don't mind normal users talking on the board though. We Are Not An Elite Club (aka We Are Not A Cabal). - ] 11:39, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

::There already seems to be a tendency to use this board chiefly for complaints and that does not seeem right. We have Requests for sysop attention/commment/arbitration/mediation/whatnot. Can we please agree to keep complaints about individuals or their actions out of this place. Thank you. ] 21:24, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

::If you're referring to the discussion about Sam Spade, I'd like to point out that I posted that to get some feedback from fellow-admins before performing a block. It wasn't meant to be a complaint. ]|<sup>]</sup>]] 21:27, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

==Spamming all admins==

Well, shooting for the whole admin list feels pretty spammy to me too, tho i question a block as response. But the notice bd is a good plan; i've gotta add that to my bookmarks. --]] 07:20, 2004 Dec 10 (UTC)

Regarding your mass admin message on the matter, I'm not really sure why people are so upset about it, but I do think there are more efficient ways to contact all the admins. Maybe we need an ].

My slack drive would kick in around the 20th. :) ] (])] 04:49, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

:He ''blocked'' you? That makes an astounding amount of nonsense. I don't think it's worth getting upset about, though. I see you took my idle advice (or maybe someone else mentioned it as well) and made an admin notice board - good work! ] (])] 05:56, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

I would like the distinction between this page and the talk page restored, rather than having the talk page be a redirect to this page.

*First let me say I am *not* an admin. However, I would like to submit something for your consideration. It seems to me that Discussions about most issues could be kept on other pages, and this page could be used more for Pointers to those discussions; this would avoid redundant pages and make this page easier for admins to monitor. For instance, a discussion about double-blocking could be held at ], with a note here like "Please see my question at ] about checking IPs before blocking, to avoid double-blocking. <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" The Talk: page already fills the need for a place to discuss the issue; this page would fill the need to get attention of more admins, which is what prompted Ta bu to create this page in the first place. The way this is being used so far, I can see two things happening. First, we will have "also see the discussion at WP:AN/archive576" notes all over the Talk: pages, and discussions will be split between the Talk: page and here, making them harder to follow. Second, WP:AN will be so large and busy that many admins won't bother watching it. Reserve this page for short Pointers, and you keep the actual discussions unsplintered where they belong, while having an efficient place to get the attention of many admins at once. I suspect more admins would watch/monitor this page if it were used for short occassional pointers to other places, than the number that will watch/monitor the page if it is used for lengthy discussions changing many times a day. Put one more way: this page was created to get admins' attention; keep using it for exactly that, getting attention, then redirect the actual discussion to the Talk: page it would have been on anyway. Just my $0.02 worth. ]&nbsp;]] 06:44, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

::this is insightful. We need to avoid spreading discussion of one topic over several pages. ] <small>] 10:37, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

:: I agree, this is a very good point. I'll add a note to this effect to the head of the page (after my kids open their Christman presents :-). ] ] 12:51, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

:::Er, do note that there are some cases where there are no places to offload discussion. For example, some people may want to request specific assistance from an administrator. ] | ] 13:23, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

::::To request specific assistance from an administrator, see ]. To request assistance from a specific administrator, see <nowiki>]</nowiki>. Maybe discussion of ]'s 12-15-2004 blocking could have been off-loaded to ] or ]; maybe not. I'm willing to concede that WP:AN may turn out to be the best place to hold certain discussions; however, I think ''most'' discussions are better off ''held'' somewhere else, and ''announced'' here. Another thought: a discussion that ''is'' being held on WP:AN, which becomes lengthy, might be moved to WP:AN/Discussion_Title. ]&nbsp;]] 20:39, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

I found this page very useful in co-ordinating response to my unfortunate block. Without such a discusion forum I'm not sure that things would have gone as well as they did. ] ] 13:59, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

==Archiving guidelines==
Hi, can I get some feedback on how quickly to archive stuff on the main page here? (I think I've been doing OK so far, 'cause nobody's complained, but it would be nice to get something down so I don't have to rely totally on gut.)

In general my policy has been to try and keep stuff on the main page as long as possible, modulo keeping that page reasonably sized. (I.e. I don't move stuff off unless I need to, to bring the size down - better to leave it there in case someone happens by some days later and wants to add a comment.)

My sense is that with questions about specific pages/people, it's OK to archive them as soon as the situation appears to have been resolved, plus a few days grace (2-4). My reasoning here is that there's usually not a lot of policy lessons to be drawn, it's usually just very specific questions ("is anon a.b.c.d really a vandal"). If it's a question about abuse of admin powers, I leave them longer (a full week after the last comment), so as to avoid the appearance of trying to sweep evidence of admin power abuse under the rug before people can see it.

With the "here's something the community might need to know about" (e.g. the request for input on the Wiktionary link thing), I try to leave those as long as possible (modulo size) to give them as wide a visibility as possible. Eventually they are kind of stale, so after a couple of weeks I would move them out.

The general policy questions I try and leave the longest, because those seem to be the things where people seem to come by and add a comment, even after a considerable time has passed.

Does this all sound OK? Do people have recommendations for changes? ] ] 00:37, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

: Sounds good to me. I wouldn't change anything in that policy unless people started complaining. ]|<sup>] 08:11, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)

: All, sorry to be archiving stuff fairly aggressively, but the page is growing quickly, and I'm trying to keep the size down. ] ] 04:00, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

::I would welcome even more aggressive archiving. I would very much like this page page to remain manageable. ] <small>] 12:57, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

::Seconded. Especially the incidents stuff, most of that can go after 24 hours. --]] 13:44, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

:: OK, I will step it up a tiny bit to try and keep the page size down. Incident reports that don't get any discussion will go after a day or so. ] ] 15:37, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

== Misplaced Pages Disclaimers ==

There are a couple of holes in the legal disclaimers which might need addressing.

# From ], last element in the list, link "Misplaced Pages does not give legal advice" is linked to <nowiki>]</nowiki> which is an unprotected redirect to <nowkiki>]</nowiki>.
# From ], last element in the list, link "medical advice" is linked to <nowiki>]</nowiki>, but should probably be linked to <nowiki>]</nowiki>

Not sure where else to bring this to the attention of admins. - ] 18:24, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Editable archives

It seems that the ANI archive pages (e.g. Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1173) have section edit links. This is not normal on archive pages: is it something special to ANI, or a mistake somewhere? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:00, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Maybe {{Administrators' noticeboard navbox all}} can be taught to emit the flag to inhibit that, iff transcluded onto a "subpage" (or "a subpage containing the string 'archive'")? DMacks (talk) 20:43, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
That wasn't too hard. Which means I probably broke something as a side-effect. Trouts of various sizes welcome as appropriate. DMacks (talk) 16:01, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Well, it's suppressed the edit links, so Thank you for that. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:05, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Broken code in blue "Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents" box

At the bottom of it:

Closed discussions are usually not archived for at least 24 hours. Routine matters might be archived more quickly; complex or controversial matters should remain longer. Sections inactive for 72 hours are archived automatically by Lowercase sigmabot III. Editors unable to edit here are sent to the /Non-autoconfirmed posts subpage.

|- | class="plainlinks" style="border: 1px solid #aaaaaa; background: var(--color-inverted, #fff); text-align: center; font-size: 125%;" | Start a new discussion

Pretty sure the "|- | class= " etc. bit isn't supposed to be there. -The Bushranger One ping only 04:51, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

@The Bushranger: I think I fixed it. Jip Orlando (talk) 17:20, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
