| WiP. WORK IN PROGRESS. PROCESSES ON THIS PAGE SHOULD BE REVIEWED BY ADMINS & TECH TEAM TO SEE IF THIS IS THE PROCESS THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IN PLACE. THIS PAGE IS IN PROCESS OF ADAPTATION FOR TENTH FLEET WIKI, FROM THE GUILD WARS 2 WIKI'S [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2_Wiki:Requests_for_technical_administration Requests for technical administration] PAGE.
| | {{Under construction|Newly created – part of a larger Project to expand pages in the Help and TenthFleet Namespaces. Guild Wars 2 Wiki's [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2_Wiki:Requests_for_technical_administration Requests for technical administration] page served as the original inspiration for this needed page. Its scope and posting conventions are still being settled by the team.}} |

| Many MediaWiki extensions or non-default server configurations are incredibly useful for the day-to-day operation of the wiki. However, all changes of this nature have a cost, be it resources or simply installation issues. All requests to alter the wiki platform should go through this process.
| |
|
| |
| == The process ==
| |
|
| |
| Configuring or modifying the official wiki's technical operation requires the Tenth Fleet Wiki’s approval and assistance. Having a single, unified proposal process makes getting an official response much easier and much more likely.
| |
|
| |
| The Tenth Fleet Wiki technical team will check this page regularly for any new requests and post a response next to the request, indicating whether the change was accepted, and the request will be closed for a period of no less than four months.
| |
|
| |
| '''The Tenth Fleet Wiki administrators''': All current community requests are under ''[[#Community requests|community requests]]'' below.
| |
|
| |
| == Submitting a request ==
| |
|
| |
| The first step in submitting a request should be to discuss it [[Tenth Fleet Wiki talk:Requests for technical administration|on the talk page]]. A new heading should be created for every request.
| |
|
| |
| If there is consensus that the request would be beneficial to the wiki then a formal request should be created. Create a subpage of this article to hold the request and then include it in the "[[#Community requests|community requests]]" heading below. This request must include the following details:
| |
|
| |
| ; Title : Name and version (if applicable) of the software or change you request
| |
| ; Type : Note whether your request is the installation of a MediaWiki extension, a change to MediaWiki or IIS's configuration.
| |
| ; Reason : State clearly how the change you request will be used. Mention benefits of the change, particularly actions that are impossible or extremely cumbersome without this change.
| |
| ; Links : Provide links to relevant websites. Mention whether other prominent MediaWiki installations implement this change, and what problems (if any) they have encountered.
| |
| ; Possible pitfalls: Note potential pitfalls to making this change. This includes issues with server load and process execution time, potentially alienating markup on the wikitext of articles, or other tangible reasons why installing this alteration might not be a great idea. Most changes have at least one pitfall, so no change will be considered unless this section has something significant in it. If there really are no pitfalls, an explanation (or a link to one) explaining why this is the case is necessary.
