We're looking for a few good people to take in hand the boring (but not thankless) task of moderating the Wiki. Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

Love to.

That said, I've moderated message boards before, and games of all flavors, but not wikis (wikii?).  anything specific I ought to know about responsibilities and etiquette?  What level of formality and citation is expected- more like Wikipedia, or more like TVTropes?

Well, considering that there's really only one source, at this point, a simple episode/act cite or link to appropriate livejournallage or other content would probably be pretty easy? Mostly we figured we would leave that up to you guys to decide.

It's your toy!

(This is the part where you get to find all our continuity errors...)

Modding would mostly involve keeping an eye out for trolls, broken pages, and inaccuracies. Pretty low impact, hopefully.

Hm.  I could do that, and I will, if you like.

Okay, that's two and a half. *g* Maybe one more person, as a reserve, and we'll call it closed? (Thank you guys so much. It's very appreciated.)

I'd be happy to help.  I have no experience with moderating, but I can spot & fix broken links/pages with the best of them.

I have a decent amount of administration and website/wiki experience, and would be willing to help out if you need another person.

And I have a significant amount of Wikipedia editing experience, and have made minor structural changes to MediaWiki environments at the office. Count me in.

PS what I am really good at is organizing - regularizing Categories, standardizing, cross-references, format, etc.

Thanks for setting up the admins, Amanda.

I have created minimalist help and donations pages, and I'll do something with the Main Page.
