We’re excited to announce a new way to contribute to Fanlore: Advanced Editors!
What is an Advanced Editor?
Advanced Editors are editors who have made significant contributions to Fanlore and have special editing privileges: They can move and delete pages. Advanced Editors are not official Fanlore volunteers. There are no requirements or duties attached to the status, just more editing power!
What’s the difference between Advanced Editors and Gardeners?
Gardeners are official Fanlore volunteers. They answer user requests, keep track of recent changes, take part in meetings, and generally keep Fanlore tidy and in order. That means that they have a voice in the development of Fanlore and Fanlore policy, but they also have more responsibilities.
Who can become an Advanced Editor?
Potentially, anyone! Advanced Editors should have a history of substantial contributions to Fanlore and no recent history of misconduct or hostile editing.
How can I become an Advanced Editor?
Contact the Fanlore Committee! A one-sentence note with your Fanlore user name is all we need. We evaluate each applicant individually by looking at their edit history. Once we've reached a decision, we'll get in touch with you.
If your application has been approved, we’ll give you temporary Advanced Editor rights for two weeks. Within that time frame, you have to complete a short tutorial to demonstrate that you know how to move and delete pages. Once the tutorial is complete, your status becomes permanent.
If your application is rejected, we will get in touch with you and provide feedback on what you could do to meet the criteria to become an Advanced Editor. (Hint: This will involve editing Fanlore.)
I think I want to be a Gardener, instead!
Great! We’re always looking for new Gardeners! Contact us, and we’ll get in touch.
