#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.
Comport yourself in a collegiate manner, even when you're REALLY upset. The channel is private, but logs do leak. 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.
