==Topic Moderator Discussion==
Hi all,
The idea behind having and showing topic category moderators is:
#bring higher credibility to Appropedia
#bring more experts to Appropedia through incorporation
#maintain and encourage quality


The [[Appropedia:Topic experts|topic experts]] page should have guidelines on:
Firstly thank you all for maintaining this forum. I have actually learnt a lot from it over the last few months, finally decided to join.
#the responsibilities of the topic expert
#how to become a topic expert (e.g. description
#how the topic expert is replaced (e.g. after no reply in one month)


This would be better if it:
Hopefully I wil be able to give back to members as much as I have gained.
# could be administered not in the wiki text
# would show up below articles and subcategories
''these changes will probably take a progammer''


Currently I am the moderator for many [[:Category:Topic|topic categories]].  I have in mind a few experts for some of the topic categories, such as adobe and cobb.  Are there any offers, e.g. [[User:Singkong2005|Singkong2005]] for [[:Category:Open source]]?

What do you think? --[[User:Lonny|Lonny]] 23:32, 14 October 2006 (PDT)
Using {{tl|User topicadmin}} places a userbox on your page. E.g. the moderator for the "Water" uses the text <nowiki>{{User topicadmin|Water}}</nowiki>.
 
You can also add a link to the "related changes" for that category (see link in left column). See [[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]]'s page for an example. Or perhaps bookmark the "related changes" page. Be aware, however, that the Related changes link only shows pages directly related to that category, and not, for example, pages in a subcategory.

This is a suggested approach to improving and maintaining the quality of topic information on Appropedia. It is not fixed in stone - discuss on the talk page if you have ideas or suggestions, whether for expanding it or abandoning it.


Topic Experts

Becoming a topic expert

Do you have expertise? Please consider applying to be a topic expert on the discussion tab above. Feel free to request a new or existing topic category and see Category:Topics needing experts.

Hi all,

Firstly thank you all for maintaining this forum. I have actually learnt a lot from it over the last few months, finally decided to join.

Hopefully I wil be able to give back to members as much as I have gained.

User boxes and tracking changes

Using {{User topicadmin}} places a userbox on your page. E.g. the moderator for the "Water" uses the text {{User topicadmin|Water}}.

You can also add a link to the "related changes" for that category (see link in left column). See Chriswaterguy's page for an example. Or perhaps bookmark the "related changes" page. Be aware, however, that the Related changes link only shows pages directly related to that category, and not, for example, pages in a subcategory.
