Wiki Editor

Greetings. This is a blanket note being sent to all the Editors of the CaidWiki. It has been approximately a year since most of you have held this position. The editor position on the wiki requires a bit more responsibility than the regular user, as you are a go to resource for people needing help and are a reviewer for the areas allocated to you (as shown on the Help:Team). If you'd like to remain as an editor for another year, please reply to this message. If you'd like to become a regular user (no responsibility, but still have the ability to edit anything any time), please reply to this message. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Thanks! --Kolfinna 11:20, 7 August 2009 (PDT)

I am still interested in being an editor.--Avenel 17:25, 7 August 2009 (PDT)

• Cool. Thank you for continuing to serve! --Kolfinna 18:13, 7 August 2009 (PDT)

Populace Subcategorization

Thank you very much for chipping in with subcategorizing the populace category. One thing I've noticed that you're finding individual pages that do not have a "+ Populace [letter]" category within letters I had "finished" earlier. What is your strategy to find those kinds of errors?--Lachlan 16:01, 24 February 2010 (PST)

None whatsoever. I just follow links from pages, and if I come on a page missing the category, I fix it. Pages most likely to be missing it seem to be A's and R's. I only find them because I semi-obsessively read the Wiki.--Avenel 08:06, 25 February 2010 (PST)

• As have not been finished. I think most A names will not have a subcategorization. R, on the other hand, has been done for some time. It may be that I missed a block of names when I did that task. I'll double-check.--Lachlan 10:03, 26 February 2010 (PST)

Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall

• It is interesting that both Malcolm and you touched on this question in the very same day. Standardization would be very good. The most common way to name seasonal events is with the season first. Unfortunately, I think the opposite might be optimal. That way, when viewing an alphabetical listing of events, all events of one type would be grouped together, rather than all events in one season. The former would be more interesting to the user. I'll send Malcolm by here, let's discuss further.--Lachlan 10:08, 26 February 2010 (PST)
