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 WikiProjects that are always looking for willing people. Grutness...wha?  08:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Esperanza has something set up. NSL E (T+C) 09:03, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * And also, Category:Wikipedia backlog could always require help, and most of that is not related to admin buttons. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 11:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

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?
