How can you know who contributed? I want to know before I can start on the wiki.

[SCV]

How can you know who contributed? I want to know before I can start on the wiki.

We pay very close attention to who contributes.

On the wiki there is a "recent changes" and every page has a history we can look at to see who does what.

[ZMaster]

Alright, thanks, SCV. I'm going to start adding info to the wiki now. (Not literally now, but occasionally)

Btw, how can we know if something already exists or not?

[evandixon]

Hmmm....

I suppose that I might possibly qualify for the Developer rank, supposing that I actually made some progress on my Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Save Editor...

[Greencat]

Click the "All Pages" button on the bottom of the front page. It'll display all the pages.

[Torte de Lini]

There should be a rank for those who contribute by answering questions via the forum.

Also a rank for those who contribute event pokemon :3 Might give them more incentive to actually bothering to go to these events.

Since one of those ranks are subjective, I'm sure we can add two more.

[Greencat]

Many people answer questions on the forums, it would be hard to monitor.

Contributor is for people who contribute a genrous amount of events.

[Torte de Lini]

Equally hard to monitor those who contribute pages and pages of Wiki?

[Greencat]

Again, there is a recent option. It would tell the Admins how many pages someone has edited/created.

[SCV]

Equally hard to monitor those who contribute pages and pages of Wiki?

The wiki keeps an extensive history so it is easy to monitor that.

hi scv i was wondering about rank upgrades, and also when a person might receive one. I am new and plan to contribute a lot when ever possible, I also plan to post action replay codes, but im not exactly sure of the purpose of the wiki or how to use it. of course im not asking for a rank upgrade, as for I am new and just getting the hang of things. I do plan to be devoted to this site for years to come.

[FLOOTENKERP]

ima try to work hard to help this site. contributor status would be nice

[Akaria]

I'm upset there is no "Goofy Goober' rank featuring Bidoof.

Oh woe is me.

Edit: Forgot my :bidoof:.

[Neo]

Hey The Fallen Congrats on your Super Mod status

[randomspot555]

What are the Admins' feelings on a VIP-type class? On other forums (not Pokemon, but I don't think it has to be on other Poke forums to count), I've seen this class use when it's a notable person from another site (REALLY notable, not just some random mod or something), or for former staff.

However, I also know that the forums I'm referencing were built from the ground up, and Vbulletin might not have the ability for various types of ranks.

EDIT: I also recognize how trivial this is at the moment, because I don't think we have anyone notable from big fan sites ,or any former staff.
