User blog:Brocky292/18 August 2019 - Meeting Agreements

Hello everyone! I apologize for this blog being a week or so late, I was camping and this is the first chance I got to make it! But nonetheless I am here to provide some answers as to what the administration team agreed upon during the meeting that took place on the 18th of August, 2019.

Below you will find not only the questions posed to the admin team, but what was agreed upon as well.

Agreement 01 - Harry Potter Models

 * Can actors/actresses who have appeared in Harry Potter films and its predecessors be for less than around 5 or so minutes be used for a model on our wiki?
 * A list of models who can't be used and a list of models who may be used pending approval will be created by Fandom. Determining factors for if a model is allowed to be used will be heavily reliant on how big of a role the model had in the films, if they appeared in more than one, etc.

Agreement 02 - Username Display for Discord

 * Should a member of the community's name be displayed in their Discord nickname or in user tags?
 * ''It has been decided that we will stick to requiring users to include their username in their nickname on Discord. For example if I wanted to have a fun nickname still like Broccoli, then I would need to make my Discord nickname something to the same effect as Broccoli | Brocky292.
 * Furthermore it was discussed that including a user's pronouns in a user tag would be a good idea, so this will also become implemented moving forward.

Agreement 03 - Full Blooded Exotics Counting as Minor

 * Should a full blood exotic character (such as a full vampire or full veela with no magical blood) count as a minor character due to their lack of producing magic?
 * An admin vote will be created to come to a full decision, as not all members gave their input on the topic. After this vote takes place an actual concrete decision will be made.

Agreement 04 - Dual Exotic Characters

 * Should we allow a character to be a dual type exotic? Like for example one parent is half nymph and one is half vampire, or something of the likes.
 * Have a vote allowing dual exotics with the condition that one exotic doesn't count and the gene is recessive. This gives the users options for their children of which exotic they want them to be and there is no mystery as to why only one species type is in the child's DNA. It is a title. Other option is no dual exotics of any kind.

Agreement 05 - Minor Characters

 * Should we keep minor characters (squibs, ghosts and potentially full exotics) or just add them onto the major character count, thus increasing the total count allowed to 25 with 6 exotics allowed?
 * A vote will be made in order to come to a final decision, the vote will include the following options.
 * Keep minor characters just as they are, separate from the count
 * Add them onto the major character count, bringing the major count 25 (with 6 exotics) and have ghosts/squibs be counted as exotic
 * Add them onto the major character count, bringing the major count 25 (with 6 exotics) and have ghosts/squibs be counted as a major character and not counted against exotic count

Agreement 06 - Wiki Lore [ IC Titles ]

 * In character histories should we allow users to say that their character held X role for X amount of years?
 * It has been decided that in order to prevent any inconsistencies in our wiki's timeline, no in character position (minister, headmaster, head student, etc.) may be written into a character's history unless the character actually held the position in the wiki's timeline. The only position that can be used for a character history is Prefect as in HP canon it was said that there were multiple prefects both male and female for each of the four houses.
 * Furthermore, timelines/charts will also be created to display which character held important in character positions and for how many years. As to proudly display the wiki's history.

Agreement 07 - Wiki Lore [ General ]

 * This wasn't necessarily a question posed to the team, it was just a general agreement that we felt necessary to include.
 * Wiki lore is people helping one another to create a detailed history of wiki canon for new users. This includes time lines, charts etc. These will show not only the aforementioned IC roles/titles but also advancements in the wizarding world, events that took place, etc.

Agreement 08 - Admin Evaluation

 * Should the admin evaluation sheet (similar to the one we did a month or two ago) become a recurring thing to ensure the wiki is happy with their elected team?
 * ''Yes, the admin evaluation will be a recurring thing. Starting in September, the evaluation will take place every 3 months. What this means is that come November, we will be doing the admin evaluation sheet once more, following it up again in March, and so on and so forth.
