I can't believe it's been over a year since the last time I was majorly active here on Misplaced Pages, it feels like two months. This project was for the most part very enjoyable. Well, hopefully I can find some time to edit here again before another six months passes. Best wishes to anyone still stalking this page, ] ] 22:19, 4 June 2013 (UTC) |

== AfC - more than one set of eyes and factory-style processing == |
|
|
|
|
|
Viriditas talked about that years ago but I didn't click in to why it makes sense. Now I do. |
|
|
|
|
|
I really think the idea of a flow for AfCs makes sense. Start with a split at the wizard for commercial/noncommercial. Then, for the commercial ones, two sets of eyes moving rubbish to death row, then purge. The remainder will be viable and treated as such. |
|
|
|
|
|
Factories work this way for a reason. Right now, we dump the "jobs" in a basket and let the workers pick out what they want to process". Workers leave the bad jobs indefinitely. The worthwhile jobs get lost in the basket. The job authors yell "pick mine pick mine" Sounds like how a terrible factory would be run. Factories work with sorting and flow and processing for a reason. |
|
|
|
|
|
The thing's broken. And it may be being blocked like the global climate issue: "as long as there's any debate it will go nowhere". That's not fair. What can be done? ] (]) 02:26, 6 January 2013 (UTC) |

== Misplaced Pages Ambassadors update == |
|
|
|
|
|
Hi! You're getting this message because you are or have been a Misplaced Pages Ambassador. A new term is beginning for the United States and Canada Education Programs, and I wanted to give you an update on some important new information if you're interested in continuing your work this term as a Misplaced Pages Ambassador. |
|
|
|
|
|
You may have heard a reference to a transition the education program is going through. This is the last term that the Wikimedia Foundation will directly run the U.S. and Canada programs; beginning in June, a proposed thematic organization is likely to take over organizing the program. You can ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
Another major change in the program will take effect immediately. Beginning this term, a new MediaWiki education extension will replace all course pages and Ambassador lists. (See ] and ] for more details.) Included in the extension are ''online volunteer'' and ''campus volunteer'' user rights, which let you create and edit course pages and sign up as an ambassador for a particular course. |
|
|
|
|
|
'''''If you would like to continue serving as a Misplaced Pages Ambassador — even if you do not support a class this term — you must create an ambassador profile.''''' If you're no longer interested in being a Misplaced Pages Ambassador, you don't need to do anything. |
|
|
|
|
|
;Please do these steps as soon as possible |
|
|
First, you need the relevant user rights for Online and/or Campus Ambassadors. (If you are an admin, you can ], for you as well as other ambassadors.) Just ], and we'll get you set up as quickly as possible. |
|
|
|
|
|
Once you've got the ambassador rights, please set up at a Campus and/or Online Ambassador profile. You can do so at: |
|
|
*] |
|
|
*] |
|
|
|
|
|
Going forward, the lists of Ambassadors at ] and ] will be the official roster of who is an active Ambassador. If you would like to be an Ambassador but not ready to serve this term, you can un-check the option in your profile to publicly list it (which will remove your profile from the list). |
|
|
|
|
|
After that, you can sign on to support courses. The list of courses will be at ]. (By default, this lists "Current" courses, but you can change the Status filter to "Planned" to see courses for this term that haven't reached their listed start date yet.) |
|
|
|
|
|
As this is the first term we have used the extension, we know there will be some bugs, and we know the feature set is not as rich as it could be. (A big wave of improvements is already in the pipeline. And if you know MediaWiki and could help with code review, we'd love to have your help!) Please reach out to ] with any complaints, bug reports, and feature suggestions. The basic features of the extension are documented at ], and you can see a tutorial for setting up and using them ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
;Communication and keeping up to date |
|
|
In the past, the Education Program has had a pretty fragmented set of communication channels. We're trying to fix that. These are the recommended places to discuss and stay up-to-date on the education program: |
|
|
# ] has become the main on-wiki location for discussion of the Education Program. You can post there about broad education program issues as well as issues with individual courses. |
|
|
# is a very low-traffic announcements list of important information all Ambassadors need to be aware of. We encourage all Ambassadors (and other interested Wikipedians) to subscribe to the list; follow the instructions on the link to add your email address. |
|
|
# If you use IRC regularly, or need to try to reach someone immediately, the {{freenode|wikipedia-en-ambassadors}} IRC channel is the place to find me and fellow Ambassadors. |
|
|
|
|
|
;Ambassador training and resources |
|
|
We now have an online ], which is intended to be both an orientation about the Misplaced Pages Ambassador role for newcomers and the manual for how to do the role. (There are parallel trainings ] and ] as well.) |
|
|
|
|
|
Please go through the training if you feel like you need a refresher on how a typical class is supposed to go and where the Ambassadors fit in, or if you want to review and help improve it. If there's something you'd like to see added, or other suggestions you have for it, feel free to edit the training and/or leave feedback. A ] is included in the educators' training. |
|
|
|
|
|
The ] of the training is the main place for Ambassador-related resources. If there's something you think is important as a resource that's not on there, please add it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, whether or not you work with any classes this term, I encourage you to post entries to the ] whenever you see excellent work from students or if you have great examples from past semesters. And, as always, let students (and other editors!) know when they do things well; a little WikiLove goes a long way! |

|
*Our final round of hand-coding is complete, and the results can be found ]; thanks to everyone who took part! |
|
|
*We've made test deployments to the German and French-language projects; if you are aware of any other projects that might like to test out or use the tool, please let me know :). |

Hey Alpha Quadrant. I'm sorry to say that some bugs in code that ] is dependent on have resulted in us still not being able to deploy the latest version to en-wiki - although one advantage is that, because it's functioning on the German and French Wikipedias, the eventual release here will contain fixes for several newly-detected bugs without us having to bother you with them :P. At the moment, we're talking about several weeks of wait, I'm afraid - although the fix ''itself'' is not complex, it's dependent on Platform freeing up time to make and deploy it, and they're currently rather busy. I'll let you know when I have more news. Thanks :) ] (]) 18:44, 5 April 2013 (UTC) |
