User blog:Jessie1010/Austin & Ally Wiki Weekly- April 22, 2012

Hey Austin & Ally Wiki users! So this is a new start for the Austin & Ally Wiki. Every week, an admin will start to make a weekly blog post about new things going on at the wiki. We have recently held an admin meeting and it was a success! We have made many big decisions involving the wiki! These weekly blog posts will tell you what you need to know that is planned for the wiki. This week we have only a few things to share with you but they are very big!

 Weekly Blog Posts 

First is the announcement of the weekly blog posts! Every week, whether we have a meeting or not, we will be posting the weekly blog post. They will tell you things that we want you to know. You will be notified every week to come check out the weekly blog post. They will be posted normally on Sundays, around the afternoon. It's good for users to know what is going on with the wiki. Any questions regarding these weekly blog posts can be asked in the comments and an admin will reply to you in the comments and personally on your message wall.

 Justsomechic's Adminship 

The admins have decided that it is time for the head admin of the Austin & Ally Wiki, Justsomehic, to make her departure from the wiki.Justsomechic was a great admin until she had to take a break and became inactive in December 2011. By the time we reached 2012, Justsomechic was active again on other wikis. She even made it official on her profile page and said she was back. Well, since then, she has not edited at all. She currently only has 32 edits and that is absolutely not enough for adminship. We have gotten very far in building this wiki. The admins we have now have worked very hard and we thought it wasn't fair if Justsomechic was listed as admin or even head admin. She wasn't reliable to contact when we needed her. She never came on wikia so we had to cut her. Our admin, FashionGal, contacted the wikia staff to get Justsomechic's adminship taken away. It was a success and she is no longer adminship. Putting all of this aside, we would still like to thank Justsomechic for everything she's done for the wiki. She was the one who made KataraFan and I (Jessie1010) admins, the first admins after her. Without her, the wiki wouldn't be as developed as it is today. So thank you so much Justsomechic for everything.

 New Head Admins 

Due to Justsomechic's departure from the wiki, we no longer have a head admin. At our admin meetings April 17th, 2012- we decided on not one, but two new head admins.

 Jessie1010 

 FashionGal 

Jessie1010 (me!) and FashionGal are our new Austin & Ally Wiki admins! Jessie1010 and FashionGal are the two admins with the most edits. Jessie1010 currently has over 1,800 and FashionGal has over 1,400. FashionGal is also ranked #1 on the achievements leaderboard and Jessie1010 follows at #2. These two admins are deticated admins and are the perfect pair for head adminship. It almost was KataraFan and Jessie1010 because they were the two admins granted adminship after Justsomechic, but, KataraFan does not edit as much as FashionGal, FashionGal replies to messages faster, and KataraFan did not show up to the first admin meeting after she said she would, showing that FashionGal is a more reliable admin. Due to this head adminship, the admins also thought up a new rule. Only the head admins will have the title: bureaucrat. All current bureaucrats on the wiki (except the two head admins) will soon have the title taken away and will be demoted to just admin. We will see how this whole head admins thing works out. It's not completely official but for now this is how it will be. So let's all congratulate FashionGal and Jessie1010!

''' New Admins: Flyna4eva! '''

Also due to the loss of Justsomechic, the admins thought we needed a new admin to fill in those shoes. The user we all agreed on was: Flyna4eva! Flyna4eva (Celeste) is a very dedicated user. She is currently chat moderator but we wanted to make her more than that. Flyna4eva has more edits then some admins on this wiki. She is also ranked higher than many other admins and users (ranked #3 on the leaderboards) and she is often on the wikia. She is a reliable user and she makes good, well done contributions. So let's all congratulate Flyna4eva!

 Minor Characters 

From now and on, very minor characters will be on the minor characters page. Small characters who have small parts in an episode should be on that page and we will not give them their own page. For example, the Old Lady that is in Rockers & Writers, is on that page because, she is a very small character, she is only in that one small part of the episode, and we don't even know her name! Characters like that should be there. On the other hand, characters that have been in more than one episode and have a bigger role such as, Nelson or Dallas, would get their own page. If you are ever confused about where a new character should go, just ask an admin!

 Stub Articles 

Lastly, we need talk to you guys about stub articles! We need to less of these, We have too much. We need all of you users' help to build these pages or put them where they belong! We are going to start to make badges for building a stub article and we will make sure you are rewarded for doing so! So please help us guys! Users are very important in building a wiki!

So that's it! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns at all, PLEASE comment! We love to hear your feedback and answer questions about anything! Thanks for reading everybody!
