#wikipedia-en-admins is a closed channel for administrators on the English Misplaced Pages. Many Commons admins, former admins and developers are there as well.
Purpose
There's a lot of chitchat, but it's basically somewhere to talk about admin work. It's also amazing how people who argue furiously on the wiki can be a lot nicer in real time. It's good for quickly asking questions. Admins are more likely to find a checkuser when they're in a hurry too.
The channel was created by Danny to deal with urgent living biography issues. Foundation staff and board members will often go onto the channel with a problem needing solving.
Conduct on the channel
You're an admin, you were picked for your judgement. Use it.
The channel is private, but logs do leak. Comport yourself in a collegiate manner. Try not to disparage editors under discussion, it'll get back to them.
The channel is useful for double-checking yourself, but don't decide things based on an IRC discussion without noting it on WP:ANI for review. You might be wrong.
How to get access
- Request an IRC cloak here. (Sean then processes these by hand.)
- Request access on User talk:David Gerard, giving your cloak (e.g. wikimedia/DavidGerard). (David then processes these by hand.)
David and JamesF would quite like all en:wp admins on this channel, particularly new ones. Though IRC is not mandatory to being an admin, and if anyone tries to make it a criterion for support at RFA they should be ignored as hard as possible.
