We are establishing a new position on Superlongevity Wiki — that of the wiki executive.
The wiki executive will essentially be the lead administrator and will spearhead positive changes and additions to the SLW. This individual will be the "go-to" for questions and concerns, and will also decide what areas of improvement to focus on for the wiki.
There are several reasons why I think we need an explicit position such as this, even when just reading the thread for this wiki on the 110 Club. This is a good way of clearing up any confusion on authority (who can I go to for help?), but also a way of reinvigorating the SLW and starting a fun little wiki-wide tradition.
Basic information
The wiki executive will be selected based on the result of a poll. Whoever wins the poll can "serve" as the wiki executive for a term of three months, and then a new poll will be conducted.
In their three-month term, the wiki executive can take the SLW any direction they like, since they have been approved by the community.
Role and Responsibilities
Act on ideas and suggestions from the community
Has the ability to change wiki guidelines
Can make unilateral decisions when needed
Encourages the wiki's progression as a whole
The wiki executive will technically not have any obligations as to how much they must edit or be active; that is their choice. However, they will be responsible for choosing a new featured article at the end of every month.
Here are some additional rewards for the position:
Selection
The poll to select a wiki executive will be created tomorrow. The term starts on 1 January 2025.
I will be in that poll and I would like to be selected. However, any user is free to place themselves in the poll if they wish to be chosen. If so, you must express your interest in a comment or message.
Any time there is only one candidate, the poll will have a write-in option.
That's it! Thank you for your continued interest in Superlongevity Wiki. ツ
