Title: Changes to Staff hierarchy
[[File:AdminCello.png|center]]


Good news for all wannabe staff members and users in general.


Recently I've been thinking (I don't do that a lot). Lately, I've been getting busier and busier with my life overall, and since I've never spent much time in front of computers, I'm not used to let it take time from my other duties/joys. So for the past few weeks, my focus on wiki have been on the bureaucraut part of the job (being the punishing hand when needed and keeping things rolling when necessary) while our admins done the actual sysop tasks.


Also, in that same period, we had many new editors joining our wiki, some of them who are really good. And we had some old users standing out even more than they did previously. This time period also saw lots of changes on wiki in general, like ideas, templates, the groups proposition (which seems forgotten, as everyone wants to be a guardian ¬¬) and those damn nice little medals. And I've been considering ways to reward users besides that damn badge system.
The first DLC for [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]] has been announced. Named [[The Lost Archive|"The Lost Archive"]], the downloadable content will feature gameplay sequences similar to Desmond's Journey ones, but focused on [[Subject 16]]'s life. Unfortunaly, Ubisoft's trend of not including (or at least delaying) PC players also makes a appearance this time. Altough I expect it to be avaiable for PC at a later date, I still find the lack of explanation for excluding the PC version disgusting, without even a mention to the why.


And here it is:


The first main change request by some Istruttori is the writing of a... hierarchy.
On a cheerful note, this week the wiki has surpassed the TWO THOUSAND main article count! <small>(everyone cheers)</small><br />It's amazing to see that little 7-page site I found in 2009 become a 2000 pages encyclopedia, a compendium of information so complete and awesome that even AC developers use for reference. A encylopedia better even than Ubisoft's official one. And all of this build by us -- editors and staff.
Altough it is called such, it is not a command scale. This wiki doesn't belong to anyone, but we must have leaders and "sub-leaders" to keep things working, or it all should crumble. Hierarchy is the only applyable name, so we'll use it.


The staff tier is changed.
To celebrate this, [[User:Nostalgia AC]] (our newest Istruttore) have made a special commemorative userbox, which can be seen below along with it's code:

'''-Editors:''' Regular users, who have no obligation or duties inside the wiki, except for the informal commitment of helping the wiki be a lovely place and information source to everyone around the globe.

'''-Rollbacks'''''aka Istruttore under Training''''':''' Those users receive the power to [[Rollback|undo edits with a single click]]. They are either users being probed for Istruttore inclusion or users who stand out and are rewarded with a nice ability inside the wiki as a reward and help to their efforts.


'''-Istruttori:''' The wiki moderators. They have rollback abilities and the ruling vote on [[article nominations]].

The first DLC for Assassin's Creed: Revelations has been announced. Named "The Lost Archive", the downloadable content will feature gameplay sequences similar to Desmond's Journey ones, but focused on Subject 16's life. Unfortunaly, Ubisoft's trend of not including (or at least delaying) PC players also makes a appearance this time. Altough I expect it to be avaiable for PC at a later date, I still find the lack of explanation for excluding the PC version disgusting, without even a mention to the why.


On a cheerful note, this week the wiki has surpassed the TWO THOUSAND main article count! (everyone cheers)
It's amazing to see that little 7-page site I found in 2009 become a 2000 pages encyclopedia, a compendium of information so complete and awesome that even AC developers use for reference. A encylopedia better even than Ubisoft's official one. And all of this build by us -- editors and staff.

To celebrate this, User:Nostalgia AC (our newest Istruttore) have made a special commemorative userbox, which can be seen below along with it's code:

This user has helped the wiki achieve 2000 articles and has earned a slice of the Assassin's Poundcake.

I would also like to make a special mention for our oldest admin and my consigliere, User:Master Sima Yi. My second in command, his amazing writing skills and throughout knowledge of AC canon helped shape this wiki to what it has become today. Leadership and charisma aren't everything a administration needs to be successful -- it also needs efficiency, dedication and professionalism. And Sima helps to make sure the wiki has all three of them. He is the Spock to my Captain Kirk. He is the Guardian of knowledge of this Compendium of information. And he is a good friend of mine. Thank you, Phil.


"Now, this looks better without Reapers destroying everything."

Aaand this is all for now, brothers and sisters. Stay tuned for more AC news and sound off on the comments below. =]

Safety and peace, folks.

Cello out.
