Whut? Promoted? Me? Admin?

LOL! I assumed that Winston had PM'd you.

No, Winston has mixed Selezens and my name - even send me a pm that I've got admin rights right now.-)

But Selezen has stated a while ago that he is familiar with this kind of stuff and would join too, so I've answered Winston that he should leave it now as it is. 4 admins are enough and it's not good to spread user data all around.

I'd like to thank my agent, the cast and crew and most importantly, my parents...

First thing I note as an admin is the high number of spambot accounts. Now all I need is FTP server access to kill them...

It's worse than that... you're unsalaried staff.

If we’re going to be administrating that wikithing, we should probably have some sort of back channel. Lacking that, I’ll make do with a front channel:

On my other wiki, we have a bunch of administrative templates like {{deleteme}}, {{dontdeleteme}} and {{spam}}, based on simplified versions of Wikipedia’s Ambox templates (and various support templates). Any objection to me importing those to EliteWiki?

I reckon thats probably a good idea.

Oh btw, you probably have got me to blame for getting you the adminship!

I have been corresponding with Winston by PM for some time now about the Wiki, trying to get file uploads reinstated.

I suggested expanding the admins to include you (wanted it for myself also, but he neglected to include me!!). Not to worry though, I got what I wanted, file uploads!!

Oh wait, those templates use the ParserFunctions extension, like every single interesting MediaWiki template in existence. Dear Winston, for Christmas I would like…

While we’re at it, User Merge and Delete would be rather useful.

As long as you don't import Wikipedia's attitudes and empire-building then we should be fine

I wouldn't hold your breath! I asked him if we could have AllowExternalImages enabled, but I think he ignored me!
