User blog:Cp kid/Admin duties

This blog is mainly for other admins to read and comment on.

Hey. I've noticed for quite some time now, a discrepancy in admins updating things on the main page. So I just came up with a small, yet organized idea that may help us in that job- a schedule.

It'd be simple, a month or so in advance, one admin would volunteer (or be selected) as the person to update everything on the main page the following month (including the featured user, image, article, Did you Know more than once). By selection, we would just cycle through all of the active admins. This might clear confusion between us admins (oh, so and so will update that later), and also get the job done.

Any questions I can answer, details I can clarify, or other ideas? WannaTalk? 20:13, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Before any of you guys were admins I used to do it automatically on my own. Since I've been busy, I haven't been able to do it on time. However, since my time here is limited, I am expecting other admins to help out since there will be a time when I won't be doing this anymore. As a rule of thumb, as it always has been, it's first come, first serve. Just get the job done when it needs to be. On the first day of the month, everything gets changed. It doesn't matter which admin does it.

CK, since you're so interested, why not do it all by yourself?? Either first come, first serve or just bring in a new admin or make the Main Page updates automated.

The last thing we need is another admin. It be worth a shot to automatically update it via a widget on both the voting page and the main page similar to a customizable poll (similar to facebook). -Wonderweez ^{(Talk · Contribs)} 23:15, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

I know it used to be automatically done, and first come, but now things never get updated (i.e. Things to Know). Also, if one person choose the featured image every month, it might get boring if the admin chooses all of a certain style or artist. That's why I figured it would be better if each month one admin was assigned the duties. That way, they'd know it's their job to update the main page that month (even if they don't want to, I'm looking at you tmyk), and our featured image could stay relatively fresh looking. It's not like some sort of punishment, I just figured it'd get us more organized while still being relatively easy... I mean, any admin could still update stuff, but it should be one admin's job for that month for the things that don't get updated (tmyk, image, whatever), so if it's not done there's someone to blame.
