=Wiki ~~Curator System~~=

The '''Wiki Curator Program''' recognizes and rewards editors who have gone above and beyond in their contributions to the UniWiki. The [[Wiki Department]] offers these outstanding individuals the title of Wiki Curator to formally acknowledge their exceptional efforts.

== Wiki Curators ==

~~In a nutshell:~~ Wiki Curators ~~take responsibility for a small section~~ of ~~the wiki, help enhance the pages, review changes by~~ others~~, proofread, add more links, improve style, and so on~~. ~~A curator is not necessarily~~ the ~~top authority on a topic, but more of a coordinator for content improvement~~ and ~~a caretaker for existing content~~.

'''Wiki Curators''' are editors who are eager to go the extra mile to ensure both their own edits and those of others are of good quality. They are recognized as experienced contributors to the UniWiki and assist in its upkeep and development.

~~== Areas in~~ need of ~~a curator ==~~

Wiki Curators do not need to be members of [[EVE University]]. All capsuleers are encouraged to become Wiki Curators by contributing their knowledge and expertise. While EVE University does host and administrate the UniWiki, the UniWiki serves all of New Eden; thus, all editors should feel welcome to participate in EVE University's mission to create an accurate and comprehensive resource.

~~Note that there are likely already experts on these topics and listing pages here is in no way~~ a ~~complaint or indication that the pages are not already well taken care of. We just want to make it official :D~~

=== Benefits of being a Wiki Curator ===

* [[~~Planetary Interaction~~]] and ~~related pages~~

* Receive a mention on the Wiki Department page even after you retire

* Carry the title of "Wiki Curator" in-game if you are a member of EVE University

== ~~Class Library~~ ==

=== Becoming a Wiki Curator ===

~~One~~ of the ~~most central features to [[Eve University]] is our class system~~, ~~and our audio recordings are organized on this page~~

* demonstrate excellence

There are many ways in which you can demonstrate excellence. Examples include:

* making good use of your [[Special:MyPage|User Namespace]]

* using [[UniWiki:Editing Guide#Drafts and User Pages|sandbox or draft pages]] before publishing major changes to an article

* creating or improving a [[:Category:Template|template]]

* following the [[UniWiki:Manual of Style]] and [[UniWiki:Welcome#UniWiki ideals|UniWiki Ideals]]

* writing expressive edit summaries

If you believe you eligible for the Wiki Curator award, but haven't been contacted by the Wiki Manager, feel free to contact them. They will tell you what else you should do before making you into a Wiki Curator.

=== Responsibilities ===

The scope of an individual Wiki Curator's involvement varies, but in general they will:

* monitor the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] on the UniWiki for signs of an editor that may need help or indications of trolling/vandalism

* assist others with regards to the UniWiki in the [[UniWiki:Welcome#Communications|UniWiki communication channels]]

* provide or relay feedback and input to the [[Wiki Department|Wiki Manager]] with regards to issues experienced on the UniWiki, new changes after implementation, etc.

* assist with tests and development of new features, templates, extensions or [[UniWiki:Projects|other large-scale changes]] to the UniWiki

* organize and update the UniWiki as a whole by adding [[UniWiki:Patch Notes|patch notes]], enhancing articles, review changes by others, proofread, add more links, improve style and so on

A Wiki Curator is not necessarily the top authority on a topic, but more of a coordinator for content improvement and a caretaker for existing content.

=== Activity requirements ===

To maintain Wiki Curator status, Wiki Curators are expected to maintain a reasonable level of activity by taking part in [[UniWiki:Projects]], completing tasks on the [[UniWiki:To-Do List]], adding [[UniWiki:Patch Notes]] or doing other UniWiki related activities. It is, unfortunately, difficult to place an exact definition of what a "reasonable level of activity" entails. Should activity levels for a particular Wiki Curator drop to a rate that the [[Wiki Department|Wiki Manager]] does not consider sufficient, the Wiki Manager will reach out to that individual to discuss the situation and provide time for communication, improvement and understanding, prior to acting to retire their role.

It is customary for the Wiki Manager to ask the Wiki Curator for a final wish before retiring their role.
