==User boxes and tracking changes== | |||
Using {{tl|User topicadmin}} places a userbox on your page. E.g. the moderator for 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:Singkong2005|Singkong2005]] · <small>[[User talk:Singkong2005|talk]]</small>'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. |

Topic Experts
Becoming a topic expert
Do you have expertise? Please conider 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.
Topic Moderator Discussion
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 topic experts page should have guidelines on:
- 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:
- 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 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. Singkong2005 for Category:Open source?

User boxes and tracking changes
Using {{User topicadmin}} places a userbox on your page. E.g. the moderator for 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 Singkong2005 · talk'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.
