Wiki School proposal (Archive 45)
Having just gone through (and failed) the RfA process I would like to propose that a greater effort is made to help enthusiastic Wikipedians who feel they want to do more than just editing to develop.
I think the problem is that the RfA pages don't really direct users wanting to do more, about how they can do more without actually becoming an Admin.
I am thus proposing a Wiki School to help us post-newbies learn more of the trade.

- Category:Wikipedia maintenance is a good start for those looking how to help further without being an admin . -- Longhair 08:50, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- there are also any number of Wikipedia:WikiProjects that are always looking for willing people. Grutness...wha? 08:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- And also, Category:Wikipedia backlog could always require help, and most of that is not related to admin buttons. Radiant_>|< 11:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Admin school (Archive 74)
I've noticed that someone has came up with this idea and boldly implemented it, I thought this sounds refreshing in the sense that it is an extension of admin coaching. Then again the page found itself on the half-bakery.
Perhaps it may be plausible as an official institution/department, while others want nothing of it, the rest want to get rid of it. Or perhaps we can merge some of the concept/ideas to existing processes we already have to help out aspiring editors in getting familiar with process?
