How strict do you follow the guidelines and why?
I'm trying to run a wiki of my own but my thread mods are inexperienced and I just want more takes from others.
Follow the guidelines like how you want others to follow the guidelines.
Here are some help pages:
Help:Best practices for administrators
Help:Blocking
Help:Common mistakes
Help:Community guidelines
Wiki Rules and Blocking Policy
Thanks, I'll make sure I and the other staff read up on this.
The one thing this can't fix sadly is bias, I have to either be stricter or be even more picky with mods.
If you haven't already, you should set up a Pathway to adminship to narrow down potential mods. An example of this would be Hazbin Hotel Wiki:Staff Rights Requisition.
Having these requirements will give you time to get a feel for who you want to promote.
What do you think?
