User blog:BaconBoi1111/How to show Leadership as the Wiki Founder

Hey guys, welcome to this blog! In this blog, I will be showing you how to show Leadership as Wiki Founder! Wiki Founders have an extra tag named “Founder”, together with Administrator (commonly referred as Sysop or Admin ) and Bureaucrat rights. Although that the Founders have an extra “Founder” tag, they do not have extra rights, except being given bureaucrat and admin rights by default.

Starting off
After your wiki is complete, introduce it! When new editors come, welcome and introduce the wiki to them! In wikis that are running on Legacy, you can use the Welcome Tool o send a default message at a user’s first contribution. However, wikis running on Unified Community Platform do not have this system, but you can still go to “Recent Changes” and check the editing, and social activity to see if there are any new users that you’ve never seen in the wiki before. Go to their message wall and drop them a welcome message! You can add a blog and copy-paste the blog post every time, to make things easier.

Seen a rule-breaker?
Okay, so in the situation that a person spams or vandalises, but it does not SEEMS like that person is doing it on purpose, people may get confused. They might even get confused and thinks that a person PURPOSELY vandalises or spams without investigating or stopping to think. There would be one solution: to drop a warning message. It’s you’re less than 50%-65% sure that they are purposely breaking the rules, you should drop them a warning message. You can, as always, use a blog post and copy-paste the message, and same goes for block messages. However, if you’re 65%-85% sue but not 100%, you should investigate more: If the spam is posted more than 3 times, like 5-12 times, then it probably is a spam and on purpose. If it is spammed minimally, like 2-4 times, then it might be on accident, and you should really just give them only a warning. If the vandalism goes on for a lot of pages that floods the wiki activity (covers at least 50% of the wiki activity), then it probably is vandalism on purpose and you should take action immediately. Remember, 3 steps, revert, block, ignore. If the vandalism only does on for a minimal time, it can be likely that the person is trying to improve content but is not much of an expert at it. In this case, you should probably only give them a warning.

Reminders
You can also use reminders to “warn” a new people, but without as much severity as used in warnings. Once again, you can do so in a blog post and copy-paste it every time you have to remind someone. A reminder is only used for new people who broke the rules. You often need to remind them to read over the community guidelines before editing.

Draft Design
The below are draft designs that I find as an excellent reminder, warning and block template!
