Forum:Is there some kind of admin-only forum?

I vaguely remember there was some kind of admin-only forum. If there is one, why isn't it listed in forum categories here?: Forum:Index

I suggest listing it there. Most people have a hard enough time just finding the central forums and bookmarking it. Timeshifter (talk) 22:06, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Timeshifter, Yes! There is not only admin forums but an entire namespace dedicated to Founder and Admins. We have it linked in the global nav on Community. Take a look. Thanks for the suggestion...We're keeping the forums separate right now. --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 22:10, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Meighan. Why is it listed separately? Timeshifter (talk) 19:01, January 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Admin Central:Forum. There is usually a link to the Admin forum counterpart forum at the top of the place where the list of posts for each regular community forum appears. I guess no one reads the intro text. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 23 Jan 2012 4:45 PM Pacific


 * In the community wiki there is the community menu which links to the forums here: Community Central Forum. Many people will look no further. I don't think Wikia understands how many or most people use navigation. This is what people expect:
 * Community Central Forum
 * Admin Central:Forum
 * A simple link to Admin Central:Forum listed in line with the other forums would solve the problem. Put the subcategories under each too. Duplication rarely hurts concerning navigation. Timeshifter (talk) 00:35, January 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, it probably would have helped if I had linked out to Founder &amp; Admin Central &mdash; no? ;) . Although I understand duplication rarely hurts...But in this case Founder is linked right next to Community in the nav with all of the links there. We also have a nice little box on the front page of Community Central and link out in all of our welcome messages. Where else can we add it to make it more well known? Interested to hear your thoughts. --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:58, January 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * A helpful, yet minimal change would be to add a link to the top level of Admin forums under Community/Forums in the nav after General Discussion.
 * Looking at Support Requests, about half the questions there seem to be from admins because they are asking about stuff normal users usually can't change. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 23 Jan 2012 7:40 PM Pacific
 * Great idea. Putting links to Admin Central:Forum in multiple points of entry helps a lot. My point of entry is the "Central Wikia forums" link in the community menu here:
 * http://cannabis.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation
 * So readers of the cannabis wiki may use that point of entry. Like me they may not read introductions, go through the front door, or generally have much patience. :)
 * So a link mixed in with the other forums at Forum:Index is guaranteed to be seen there. I mean that is what people expect from an index. Timeshifter (talk) 03:40, January 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Timeshifter there is a link to Admin Forums on the Forum:Index page. --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 20:34, January 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, but many, many people don't read intros, manuals, tutorials, help pages, use Special:Contact, etc.. They just want to ask others for help quick. If they don't immediately see your forum in an index of forums, then they assume they have seen all the forums. Because an index implies completeness. People go first with what is intuitive to them. Graphical interfaces versus command lines. Categories versus lists. Menus versus search. I could go on. Some ways are intuitive to some, but not to others. Meighan, you wrote: "Where else can we add it to make it more well known? Interested to hear your thoughts." Timeshifter (talk) 00:51, January 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, the link has been there for awhile, but like the other links in the intro portion of the forum list pages, it seems to get skipped or ignored.
 * You haven't commented on adding the link with the regular forums in the menu nav. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 24 Jan 2012 2:57 PM Pacific
