Narutopedia talk:Staff

Has some issues and needs work
I see a number of issues with this page that need addressing before it's the main way users access this stuff from the site navigation.


 * Calling this page "Staff" is problematic. None of the people listed on this page are employed by the wiki, these are entirely voluntary roles. And it's ripe for potential confusion because Fandom has actual staff members.
 * This page completely lacks the navigation we're using for these kinds of pages and now the other pages are harder for users to find.
 * The tables are way to manual. Instead of using a template for the "Username | User Page | Contact | Contributions" rows, they are duplicated over and over with each row needing the username repeated multiple times. Additionally now this page requires manual editing every time someone is (pro|de)moted. Which is never something we've had to do before.
 * The static tables like this are also sub-par for finding a sysop/moderator to talk with. The Administrator page (which is harder to find now) links to Special:ListUsers/sysop which already provides the userpage/contact/contribs links, but also sorts users by who was last active and is most likely to respond to a request.

 * Yeah you make good points. I figured I'd try it out so it could be more easily accessible on the Community page for beginner users to find. I ideally want a page like this for noobies rather than people more experienced with the formatting/usage of this wiki. If you want, I don't mind deleting it, but I don't have any other idea in order to make an easier more accessible alternative for our standard users or newcomers. -Ventillate { 👤 | 💬 | 🔧 } 23:04, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm certain there's a code/template way to get users listed according to user group rights, similar to how kekkei genkai get listed in that article by collecting info from other articles through categories and infobox parsing. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:41, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * That would be a drag as Shikamaru always says. It would probably end up having to create a whole template and then modifying the CSS which I find dreadful. I think I found a better solution actually, so I might go ahead and delete this page soon and make something more direct and easier. -Ventillate { 👤 | 💬 | 🔧 } 14:52, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
