Re: Why not fix Candidates for Deletion?
We don't have good cleanup, or a specific template for bad wp copies. As for the "job" of an "admin". No-one has any jobs, responsibilities, or obligations on a wiki. "Admins" are nothing but users who demonstrate they know enough about the wiki and can be responsible with the permission flag. You can't expect that every single time some editor makes a poor edit an admin is going to spend a bunch of time on each page writing a better article. Tagging the page at the least gives the ability for the pages in need of improvement or rewriting can be found again. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)

RE: Cleaning up the Wiki and Being a Bureaucrat
SMW isn't working on any Wikia wiki right now, Wikia is having issues with it and the 1.16 upgrade so they disabled it... again. Probably best to just get used to Wikia once in awhile messing SMW up.

I don't really see anything in your list that requires sysop permissions, much less bureaucrat. If you see something that needs cleaning up, then go ahead and clean it up. If you think you can fix the series template, then fix it, it's not protected. If you see something that needs deleting, then tag it for deletion. The quick (ours) and speedydeletion (from Wikia's templates) categories are empty, and Category:Candidates for Deletion is only populated by pages which were tagged because they were a bad Wikipedia copy before we had the template which they should be switched to use, and one template that I'd like to delete, but is annoyingly being used on a lot of old ugly stuff. So there isn't much to "delete" for a sysop. If you see something without any tags on it that should be deleted, that's what we have the delete template for.

The job of a sysop is simply supposed to be to do the things like deletion, protection, and banning that the community needs or requests. The best way to get the flag is to demonstrate you understand the wiki's own local policies and how it works, edit normally, and tag so many pages that actually need deleting for deletion and make so many valid requests for modifications to a protected page that the people already with the flag get tired of handling the requests and feel it's easier to just give you the flag so you can do them yourself. ~ NOTASTAFF Dantman(Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 10:33, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
