Re: discussion guidelines
Hi, there are discussion guidelines, but they're hard to find and, in my eight years admin experience I've seen that very few people read either our discussion guidelines or our wiki editing policies. One of the main jobs of admin is to remind people of these rules because they don't do it themselves. Believe it or not, it's actually helpful to constantly post those comments in the discussion boards because anyone reading my posts learns the rules. Is it a pain for me to have to constantly repeat myself? Yes. Is it a pain for other users to have to see my comments over and over? Yes. However, it is the best solution, given the way these discussion boards are set up by FANDOM. Thanks and I hope this answers your question Shambala108 ☎  02:58, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Thanks! :) GaganTopia ☎  03:08, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Re: discussion boards
Hi, when it comes to being an admin, we prefer people who have been editing for at least a year. We don't have similar specific guidelines regarding moderators of discussion boards, but I wouldn't be comfortable making anyone a moderator unless they 1) have been posting for at least a year and 2) show signs of understanding the wiki's discussion rules (this would include letting new users know when they have violated one while still making it clear that you are not a moderator). Thanks Shambala108 ☎  00:00, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! :) GaganTopia ☎  00:03, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Should I talk of this at all (for example, if somebody says I’m “mini-modding”, shall I say I’m applying for discussions moderator)? GaganTopia ☎  16:46, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Council
Hey! Good question. It means I belong to the Community Council. You can read more about that here.

In my case, it means I was a Wikia Star back in the day, when that was still a thing. As a part of the Council I'm one of the voices for the community in the planning process. 22:44, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
