| ===Heya!===
| |
| {{FinalRest|time=19:00, 14 February 2011 (EST)|happy=Hey, TNE I'd like to get to know you too! Just a question though, I've seen both admins and bureaucrats floating around here and I have no idea what either of them are. Would you mind explaining what they are to me? Haha, I'm so clueless! XD}}
| |
| {{TNE|time=19:15, 14 February 2011 (EST)|text=Right, I'll explain the various positions to you :
| |
|
| |
| *'''Moderators''', or '''mods''', are those who help in combatting vandalism. They have similar functions to most other users with one added feature — ''rollback''. Rollback allows the mod to undo a string of unconstructive edits from one user. In most cases, we'd have to press the undo button and it'll take a long time, but rollback allows us to do this in one click. This is most often the first step one takes when he becomes a staff member.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Admins''' are able to do most things most users cannot do — they can :
| |
| **edit '''MediaWiki pages''', which are pages which determine the wiki's coding and functionality. Most users would only be able to view the source code only.
| |
| **block and ban users.
| |
| **rollback just like mods.
| |
| **delete files, pages and redirections, though for policy reasons, it's done on request.
| |
| **protect pages from unregistered IPs, or from all other users except administrators.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Bureaucrats''' are very much like admins, except that they have '''one extra ability''' — they can promote and demote users. Though again, for policy reasons, bureaucrats don't just promote and demote anybody unless elections have been carried out, and unless there are serious concerns that need to be addressed.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Checkusers''' — I don't think they're in our list of staff now, but I'll explain them nonetheless — they help check two registered users who are suspected to be one and the same (i.e. sockpuppeting). The rest of us can check users to a limited extent by looking at their IP addresses, but it's difficult when they edit under their usernames, and this when a checkuser comes in.
| |
|
| |
| *'''IRC operators''' are usually members from the staff mentioned above, and they operate the KHW's IRC channel. They can :
| |
| **mute the IRC channel. This happens when the operator needs to speak something of importance and get everyone's feedback without anybody barging in. They can also unmute at will.
| |
| **kick, block and ban disruptive users.
| |
|
| |
| I guess that's about all, but I'll need to double-check this with Kryten or another one of the Staff. And anyone can be a staff member — all he needs to do is work his way up, particularly in the mainspace.}}

| {{FinalRest|time=18:08, 15 February 2011 (EST)|happy=Okay, thanks for clearing that up for me! Are you a userbox swapper? If so, then heres mine: <nowiki>{{User FinalRest}}</nowiki>. And what part of the world do you hail from?}}
| |
| {{TNE|time=18:17, 15 February 2011 (EST)|happytext=You can find my userbox [[User:Troisnyxetienne/Userbox|<font color="gold">here</font>]].
| |
|
| |
| Also, I was born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but only recently came to the UK to further my studies.}}
| |
|
| |
| {{FinalRest|time=02:30, 16 February 2011 (EST)|text= Wow, cool! Was it a big change? And how come you had to move countries for your studies? Also, where is Malaysia located? Pardon my arrogance, geography is my WORST subject. All I know is that my tiny country (New Zealand) is close to Australia and New Caledonia. And I think Italy is shaped like a boot. That's all my geographical knowledge summed up. XP}}
| |
| {{TNE|time=06:45, 16 February 2011 (EST)|text=If you know where Southeast Asia is, well, Malaysia is smack in the middle of Southeast Asia. West Malaysia is between Singapore and Thailand ; East Malaysia borders Indonesia on Borneo.
| |

| |
| It was a welcome change, to be honest — home has given me enough heartbreak. I had the option of doing two years of LLB in the UK because that's practically where the heart of common law is. I also had the option of doing an external degree from King's College, University of London. By the time I enrolled for first year, I had missed out on the external programme, but then decided that a transfer would be a great thing. So after my first year, I transferred with my credits and everything. And here I am now. ^_^}}
| |
| {{FinalRest|time=17:26, 16 February 2011 (EST)|text=Wow, thats a pretty big step! And I saw you speak a heck of alot of languages! What are they, cause I can't understand the userboxes. ;P}}
| |
| {{TNE|time=17:46, 16 February 2011 (EST)|text=English and Malay (my first language is English, and I had to learn Malay in school), French, a bit of Chinese, very little Spanish and very little Breton (Breton is the regional language of Brittany in France). And I even added the Al Bhed userbox from the Final Fantasy Wiki just for kicks. ^_-}}
| |
| {{FinalRest|time=18:40, 17 February 2011 (EST)|shocked=Wow! I've never even heard of Breton before! I'm just an english speaker, although I've done the basic french and German courses at school. :D}}
| |
| {{TNE|time=19:24, 17 February 2011 (EST)|happytext=Breton sounds something like... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJMAvDVk-7s this...] At least for songs. I've heard it spoken, too, but I applied it properly for this cover.}}
| |
| {{FinalRest|time=17:16, 18 February 2011 (EST)|text= Wow,thats interesting. How do you end up learning that?}}
| |
| {{TNE|time=18:21, 18 February 2011 (EST)|text=Out of curiosity, but I believe it started some time after I got to know one of my [http://fr.kingdomhearts.wikia.com/ KHFrancophone] friends, who is Breton himself.}}
| |
| {{FinalRest|time=23:14, 18 February 2011 (EST)|text=Oh, okay. And why did you learn french?}}
| |
| {{TNE|time=04:14, 19 February 2011 (EST)|text=I wanted to open up options. I initially thought of doing medicine, and if we have French, education in France is subsidised. Later, when my parents talked me out of medicine, I continued learning French because I knew that I'd use it at some point.}}
| |
| {{FinalRest|time=17:33, 19 February 2011 (EST)|text=So how do you learn all these languages? I mean, you're only nineteen right, and you already speak quite a few different languages. Its quite an interesting talent.}}
| |
| {{TNE|time=05:45, 20 February 2011 (EST)|text=I've been given the opportunity to learn French and Chinese (but I sorta faltered with the latter). As for the others, I had to pick up by myself, or I could understand just a wee bit — for Breton in particular, I went on one of the sites recommanded by Gwenn-ha-du, DeviantArt's Breton community.}}
| |
| {{FinalRest|time=17:07, 20 February 2011 (EST)|text= How long did it take you for each language? And which of the languages are you fluent in?}}
| |
| {{TNE|time=17:29, 20 February 2011 (EST)|text=As the userboxes suggest, English, Malay and French.}}
| |
| {{FinalRest|time=02:51, 21 February 2011 (EST)|text=Thats cool. Are you still studying the other languages or have you gotten as far as you want to?}}
| |
| {{TNE|time=03:49, 21 February 2011 (EST)|text=I can't say I haven't stopped learning. I seem to have stopped most, but Breton is a definite yes. :P}}
| |
| {{FinalRest|time=18:01, 21 February 2011 (EST)|text= Are you planning to go to Brittany? I myself am studying Japanese. I'm into so much Japanese media that I figured, what the hell, I might as well learn it. Plus it helps me complete my school courses, which is a bonus!}}
| |
| {{TNE|time=18:06, 21 February 2011 (EST)|text=Probably — the first region in France that I'm planning to scour after Normandy is Brittany, especially when I've got a friend there, and I would really love to. ^_^}}
| |
| {{FinalRest|time=21:55, 21 February 2011 (EST)|text= At my school (well I say its my school but I'm not enrolled there anymore :S) if you take French or German as one of your options for two years then you get to go on this big trip around Europe. They travel through Normandy as well as parts of Germany and other parts of France...and then Italy for some reason.}}
