Forum:A page for admin task requests

I thought of making a page, where people can submit requests for tasks that only admins can do (and possibly tasks only 'crats can do), similar to CVU, without having to look for an admin that's online. These tasks include protecting, deleting or editing fully protected pages, and more.

As I don't know how to do it nice and clean and I'm not hundred-sure if BB covers this, so I ask whether other people like the idea or not.

I think this is a pretty good idea. 17:20, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

 * "without having to look for an admin that's online".
 * Not everyone knows there's such a thing
 * People can leave it there as it can wait
 * Not everyone uses IRC instead of Quick CVU Adder, eh? 17:48, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

I understand what you're getting at but most of the time if it's brought up in IRC, an admin/crat normally tends to it since there's usually like 4 or more in there and you can explain what you want in real time: call in blocks, article deletions, etc. Carbonite 0 17:44, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * It can be an alternative. You can also use IRC if you want. 17:48, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * But there's always an admin on IRC, and I'm usually editing the mainspace. It's not that hard to find an admin. Ireland_flag.gif  CoaZ Talk Ireland_flag.gif  01:31, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying that there's no admins online. Then again, why do we have CVU if there's IRC? Not to mention any names, some people don't like going on IRC and would leave a message on an admin's talk, and though there may be other admins online, that one may not be and it could take even hours. This would be an alternative to IRC, but not a replacement (duh), and I don't see that it would be a bad decision to make this. 06:02, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * What if you need for example an abusefilter modification, and there is no admin available who knows enough about that, or need a .js or .css change, and no admins who know enough about that are available? Then such page would be very useful. 10:02, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Do I look like I know how to modify that kinda sorcery? O.o 10:09, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * ^^ That's one good example. Give me a bad side on having this feature that would rule out the good sides. 16:05, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

I'd like this because I almost never go on the IRC. Poketape Talk 21:21, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Or even better as an idea, a page with online admins/crats so that we know who to talk to, besides I need to do a lot of reporting, and the admins aren't always on IRC, usually away, then there's the IRCban factor. We need to get around that. 11:03, August 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * You don't need to bring your IRC ban into every conversation. -________- 11:13, August 21, 2011 (UTC)

Its not that difficult to go to the RC, find the green name nearest the top, and leave them a message. For a wiki our size, this isn't something we really need. 11:11, August 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * ^ This. 11:13, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Some people are too stupid to do that 11:17, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I still don't mean there are no active admins. Also, I have done that, but almost every time I do it, I find the first green/cyan name in 3 hours or so. While there are always admins on IRC, they also may be away for long times. 11:37, August 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * If there is a vandal on the loose, and there is no-one there to help, contact VSTF or wikia staff. 9/10 times an admin is needed is for blocking vandals. The only use I see for this now is to request page protections, .js/.css changes and to edit sysop-only pages; all of which are usually not important, save for the protections. 11:45, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Still, I don't see a bad side on having this that would be good enough to rule out the positive sides. Page protections, deletions and all those are not so high-priority, but it would be good to have a feature like this. And I'm not talking about vandal reports here. 11:50, August 21, 2011 (UTC)

I don't see this as a bad idea and the IRC point is also good as you can find an admin on there most of the time. And the point of admins being away for long periods of time is also a valid point. The page is a good idea for all non-emergency type requests that only admins can do. For image/page deletion requests and all other admin only requests this "to do" list, I think is a good idea. There is no harm in making a page for that purpose, and if it doesn't work out then we can just delete it, simple.  Talk 20:53, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

Its a nice idea, but I don't really see the difference to IRC atm. 12:49, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
