Wowpedia:Community teams/Old

This page will soon be deprecated in favour of Community teams/Dev.

Please see Rehash! at Community teams .

A Community Team is a group of people dedicated to improving WoWWiki in some way or another - you can join one if you want to help out, or for that matter, all of them (there is no limit on the number you can join)! To join a team, simply leave a message on that team's join page, and the team leader will review you. You will be contacted if you are accepted.

Not being a member of a particular team of course does not mean that you can't carry out one of "their" tasks. Team members are simply expected to do so more, and be the place to turn for other WoWWikians. The only exception are the RC/NP patrols, who need special permissions to mark pages as patrolled.

Stub Team

 * This community team is dedicated to making sure that stubs are marked as stubs; that stubs merely marked &#123;&#123;stub}} are re-categorized into the correct stub sub-category; and that stubbed pages have some sort of minimal description of what should be there at least for future editors to build off of. Please do not call us "stubbies."
