Talk:Admin

Name and function of "admin" page(s)
The name "Admin" is verging on being too colloquial to be a page name in a serious wiki AND risks being confused with "Administrator" (ie sysop and bureaucrat).

Every page in the (currently perhaps underused) Sustainable_Community_Action namespace is theoretically about "admin" of this wiki. I can understand some of the reluctance to use that namespace, but you don't have to type or paste "Sustainable_Community_Action:" - just type "project:" and the software converts it. Pages about creating and "operating" the site are not what you want to show every visitor, eg when one hits "Random page" (which selects only from the article namespace).

Maybe it's time for a change of name or a new page? Do we have a page that mentions who the active administrators (in the technical sense) are (as distinct from the Wikia people who do admin jobs on request or when they feel the need)?

On most of the other half dozen wikicities (and several wikipedias) I'm active in, there are pages dealing with sysops and bureaucrats - how to become one (including project:Requests for adminship - see, for example, http://lotr.wikicities.com/wiki/LOTR:Requests_for_adminship), what they do, etc. This page could be renamed "project:Administrators" and altered with that in mind, while its current links could be left on it and/or could be put elsewhere.
