1604 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Hi everyone, As anyone who has ever applied to be a Wiki editor probably knows, our old application process left much to be desired. Turnaround times could be quite long, and if you weren't accepted, you were left wondering why, or if anyone had even seen your post. We're introducing a new system to remedy these issues. Starting now, you can visit the new 'Applications' forum to apply. We'll get back to you within a week, and we'll share info with you on why we came to the decision we did. In addition, please give a warm welcome to our two new Wiki moderators - @Articulated and @Cappy! They'll be helping out with the new application process in addition to helping keep the Wiki itself running smoothly. If you applied in the old thread after July 1, 2017, your name is in for consideration and we'll get back to you by August 11. Everyone else is welcome to apply again. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did not mention what you would like to contribute in the Wiki. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelixINX Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Hi, I'm not sure if I did my application correctly. It's been 3 weeks now and I'm not sure if I did something wrong or you guys are just in vacation. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the same issue–it's a bit frustrating when I don't have an answer as to why I didn't get accepted. 1604 said in the first post that they would get back to us within 7 days, but I don't know what happened there. I think they didn't reply because you aren't a good fit. I would like to know why I am not a good fit, not just telling me that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made three applications since my first one that got a reply (got rejected), but got no answer for almost six months now. I get that they are busy, but to get no answer for almost half a year now is frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FelixINX Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 The biggest problem with this wiki is... it is not a wiki. According to the inventor of the wiki : A wiki invites all users—not just experts—to edit any page or to create new pages within the wiki Web site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki When I do a edit on Wikipedia, I don't just correct a word, I update all the content. I do the same thing here : I don't just update a route name and division, I update all the 243 lines of the STM's system. And after the hours I pass to create a post in this board, nobody wants to edit it, because it's too much (and I understand). https://cptdb.ca/topic/18690-stm-routes-changes/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they imposed the application process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way I can make the edit directly into Mediawiki and they just click on accept, they don't have to copy and reformat what I post on the board.

The way it currently works is that you can only edit provided the staff designated you as a wiki editor in the first place. I don't see any other issues with this though.

STO_1601 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Question: Now that @1604 (who created this is and no longer an admin) who is responsible for checking the applications that members send to become wiki editors? As mentioned above, Members who have applied don't seem to get replies within 7 days now that 1604 is no longer admin and become a wiki editor himself.
