Tables?

Made a slight change to the date formatting. I'd like to suggest another column or two--"Language Proficiency." I'd suggest having 1 for Japanese (obviously) and another for German. I'd also suggest rating ourselves on 4 levels: Very Proficient; Mostly Proficient; Slighty Proficient; Not-at-all Proficient. Or something like that. Just to help direct people who may have concerns about anything used.

And, hell, given recent editing... difficulties, perhaps a column for English as well?

Oh--and it might be nice to merge this page with a contributor list of sorts (just everyone who has registered and contributed at least... a few edits or something) Just a simple way for users to find each other's talk pages, things like that. I don't know. My fingers just keep moving and don't seem quite able to stop as of yet. Ah, there we are. Canary 03:31, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I can put a link to the user list — that should satisfy your second part. (I'm not sure if there's a way to find only people who have contributed; i'll look into it.)

As far as language proficiency, that sounds good. Wikipedia has a four-point system (which Bulbapedia also uses) where they do 1 for basic, 2 for intermediate, 3 for advanced, and N for native level. (I guess you could add in 0 for none)

I'll put something together in a tic

edit: Wikipedia's scale is actually 6-point (not including 0) — i didn't realise this. You can see here. I would suggest we emulate this, since people coming from WP or BP might be confused if we borrow their system but then change bits of it  ♥ kine @ 03:50, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Staff Page

Eventually (once we have more users) I'd like to make this page into a more formal "user list" page. Basically, a three-column table w/ each user in alphabetical order (possibly broken apart due to Buc/Admin/Contrib status). One column w/ user name, one column with date joined or total number of edits (or something like that) with the third column being a space for a brief 2-3 sentence comment from each user. Either saying something about his or her self, or outlying particular realms of interest. That way, when and if we get a bigger community here, it will be easier to facilitate communication and collaboration. For example, because I've done a lot of crap with Pre-Imperial stuff, I'd mention that in my own space, that way if anyone needs help or has a question/comment about pre-Imperial content, it's easy to see who to speak to.

Feel free to delete this page (and its sidebar link) should ya' find it a bad idea. Canary 01:19, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

No issues at all with the idea, but articles about the site itself should go in the Project: name space. So i would recommend moving it to Project:Staff ('Project:' is automatically converted to 'Gineipaedia:')

edit: Made the change, added a table  ♥ kine @ 02:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
