Forum:New Discussions Moderators

Hi Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki,

It’s Bert from FANDOM. I am here today with an update related to the Discussions portion of this community. Hopefully this will be of more interest than my last post (a bit tumbleweeds-y, that one…)

Over in Discussions, some of you may know that there’s a small but vibrant group of users, primarily based in the Yu-Gi-Oh! mobile app, who have formed a pretty solid community. What you may not know is that Dinoguy1000 was their silent benefactor for quite a long time, moderating their community and keeping things under control by handling reported content (i.e. posts that users had flagged as problematic). Even though he never made a single post himself, his efforts really allowed the community there to thrive. Unfortunately he had no heir and so when he left, things started to get a little rough, with a persistent troll causing trouble, and some off-topic drama cropping up here and there.

So today I am promoting three users to the Discussions Moderator group, to manage things moving forward. They are RoiyaruRyuujin, TheArchGC, and  Legendary Zephyr (who formerly operated as Aquarius25). I will be working with them over the coming weeks and talking with them about talk pages and other facets of wiki editing and interacting with the editor community. Please feel free to reach out and say hello!

I will remain a contact with them for as long as is needed. It’s my hope that one of the admins might be interested in being their “contact person” on the admin team. Discussions Moderators can do quite a lot in Discussions but they are not able to set blocks, so they do need the help of an admin (or a global user) to do that.

In the coming months, Discussions will be getting the new local navigation design added to the desktop layout, and recent posts will start appearing again in the footer area of the page. So there will be more of a connected feeling with the wiki. Even if you’re not an admin here, please feel free to check things out and participate, they are a great group of people! Let me know if you have any questions. -BertH (help forum | blog) 15:52, June 27, 2017 (UTC)
