This wiki has outgrown me over the years, and I'm uncertain how I can help.&nbsp; I am neither part of the Doom community nor a competent FPS player; mostly I've organized and summarized research by others.&nbsp; Let's also remember that Wikia's maintenance is my fault &mdash; note the timestamps [https://doomwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=30%2C000_Levels&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=] [https://doomwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ryan_W&oldid=79253#30.2C000_Levels] [http://community.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum%3AAR%3AAdoption_request_for_Doom_Wiki&action=history&year=2012&month=-1&tagfilter=].&nbsp; At the very least, if you have a general question, try [https://doomwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Doom_Wiki:Central_Processing&action=edit&section=new here] or [https://www.doomworld.com/forum/1-doom-general/ here].

<ul><li>Make it easier for other Doomers, steeped in deathmatching or modding or community history, to edit:

<BR />
<ul><li>Standardize [[User:Ryan W/Maintenance|boring scut work]] so that occasional contributors never have to think about it.</li>
 
<li>Stop users being hounded off the site based on "policies" that don't exist, are clearly disputed, or were written by one person a decade ago without discussion.</li>
 
<li>Update the FAQ and make it short enough to consider reading.</li></ul></li>
 
<li>For topics I know a little about (mostly [[Vanilla Doom|vanilla]] gameplay and associated [[Special:PermaLink/61280|levels]]), make all articles complete, [[Doom Wiki:Style|polished]], and easily navigable.</li>
 
<li>For topics I know nothing about, find experts.&nbsp; I've no clue how to actually go about this &mdash; we are an all-volunteer project with none of the rewards of a forum or social media, so we can't just guilt-trip people to donate their time.&nbsp; The current level of participation is unsustainable, however, and we know that collaboration among experts [[zdoom:Main Page|can occur]].</li></ul>
 
 
 
=== About being an [[Doom Wiki:Administrators|administrator]] ===
 
 
 
[[User talk:Ryan W/2007#Sysop|In 2007]], this was purely a technical position.&nbsp; I was permitted to do obvious and tedious tasks (deleting someone's vacation photos, cleaning up my test templates, banning neo-Nazis) without filing paperwork each time.&nbsp; In return, if I didn't comprehend some of my new tools, I was expected to ask for help before [[Doom Wiki:Central Processing/2014#Misuse of Interwiki extension|breaking anything]].
 
 
 
Since the {{dwforums|id=52973|title=fork}}, its meaning has changed to be more like a forum mod: enforcing an overall project "vision" above and beyond stated consensus, teaching new users about contributing, maintaining relationships with the rest of the internet.&nbsp; I don't believe I'm at all qualified for these, and I certainly don't meet [[Doom Wiki:Central Processing/2015#Openings for new admins|the criteria]] from the most recent thread.&nbsp; As of July 2017, I think I'm doing a VERY VERY SMALL amount of good (spam, page moves, system message typos), but obviously I could be wrong.
 
 
 
=== Terms from Doctor Who that I overuse and probably should be reverted ===
 
 
 
''Season 12:''&nbsp; absorb, ampoule, carthorse, constitution, countersigned, fail-safe, ham-fisted, infirmary, subsidence
 
 
 
''Season 18:''&nbsp; annihilation/annihilate, anomaly/anomalous, anticlockwise, automatically, calcified, cheeseboard, consul, dodecahedron, enquiries, hysteresis/hysteretic, nexus, out of phase, wild catastrophe<!-- Jeez, a vocabulary of 4000+ words!  Or was Chris Bidmead just putting himself in the shop window, assuming he'd be fired halfway through? -->
