Should it be noted that Jimmy is indeed not a staff member, and that his omission is not an oversight? I'm sure most viewers (and contributors) have the impression that he is indeed a WMF staff member. -- [[User:Zanimum|Zanimum]] 12:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC) |

Can you update the link to this one |
|||
https://wikimediafoundation.org/role/staff-contractors/ |
|||
Shouldn't this talk page contain a link to a talk page on Meta, where its content can be discussed? Although this page is probably not "written by the community" I think we could provide some useful input at times. // [[User:Habj|habj]] 17:29, 27 February 2007 (UTC) |

Current one is not functional. [[User:Doc James|Doc James]] ([[User talk:Doc James|talk]]) 18:06, 12 April 2024 (UTC) |
|||
== Rename page? == |
|||
I'm not really sure why this page is called "Current staff"; I suggest renaming it to simply "Staff". Any other opinions?--[[User:Eloquence|Eloquence]] 21:39, 4 August 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:Sure, it sounds better and will also look better at the same time :) [[User:E|E]] 07:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC) |
|||
== Fellowship recipients == |
|||
I think Fellowship recipients ought to be moved to a separate page. Calling them "staff" seems odd and wrong. Thoughts? --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] 02:09, 8 October 2010 (UTC) |
|||
::For now, we've created a Fellowship Recipient Section to this page to list Steven Walling who is being categorized during his year with us as an employee. We're blogging about the recipients and adding their announcements and links to the feed/streams on Identi.ca and Twitter. --[[User:Daniel Phelps|Daniel Phelps]] 22:07, 8 October 2010 (UTC) ([[User talk:Daniel Phelps|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Daniel Phelps|contribs]]) |
|||
:I agree. Also, the UX section ought to be merged into the Tech section (and some positions updated) since there are no longer any "UX programs". [[User:Guillom|guillom]] 16:06, 8 October 2010 (UTC) |
|||
::There is some reorganization to the Tech depts courtesy of the Strategic Plan. We're working on a way to clarify this new organization on the Staff page and should have that updated shortly (within the next 2-3 weeks). --[[User:Daniel Phelps|Daniel Phelps]] 22:07, 8 October 2010 (UTC) ([[User talk:Daniel Phelps|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Daniel Phelps|contribs]]) |
|||
== [[m:Wikimedia Foundation contractors]] == |

|||
== Edits at [[Template talk:Staff and contractors]] == |
|||
Hi folks - I've made some edits to the staff and contractors template talk page... Thanks [[User:JayWalsh|JayWalsh]] 01:18, 2 February 2012 (UTC) |
|||
: Said in such quiet desperation... :-) --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] 01:35, 2 February 2012 (UTC) |
|||
== Box at the bottom of the page == |
|||
Currently, the box that is placed at the bottom of this page says (my underline): |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
All images are available under the Creative Commons Attribution License or the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License. <u>For licensing and other information about any of the images seen on this page, please go to Wikimedia Commons and click on the particular image you would like more information about.</u> Thanks!</blockquote> |
|||
I am somehow puzzled as to how to find those images from between over 13 million others basing on just how they look like... Surely there is an easier way to find them? <tt>:-)</tt> [[user:odder|odder]] 20:18, 15 August 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:Hi odder, if you click on that Commons link you will find a category page that consists of only those images. You still have to look, but it's a lot less than 13 million ;) [[User:Hwalls|heather walls]] ([[User talk:Hwalls|talk]]) 04:02, 16 August 2012 (UTC) |
|||
== Collapsing == |
|||
Can we please, please, please get rid of the collapsing? It hides the staff which is supposedly what the page is about, it makes impossible to look for names with a search in the page and it requires a bazillion clicks (even more now that for some reason there's no longer that already well hidden enough "expand all" links). --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 09:04, 1 September 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:Is there a way to "expand all"? [[User:Rjd0060|Rjd0060]] ([[User talk:Rjd0060|talk]]) 22:53, 1 September 2012 (UTC) |
|||
::There was, it seems to have disappeared though, not sure if it's something to do with the edits Krinkle early this week though. [[User:Thehelpfulone|<font color="red">'''The'''</font>]] [[User_talk:Thehelpfulone|<font color="black"> '''Helpful'''</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Thehelpfulone|<font color="red"> '''One'''</font>]] 01:26, 2 September 2012 (UTC) |
|||
::: It seems more likely to do with the jQuery upgrade from earlier this week. The page is now throwing a JavaScript error (viewable in your browser's JavaScript console). I'll ping Krinkle about this. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 03:59, 2 September 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:::: Thank you. As this is probably not going to be fixed overnight, in the meanwhile I've removed the collapsing. I hope I've not introduced new errors! --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 10:46, 2 September 2012 (UTC) |
|||
::::: Krinkle fixed this up now. |
|||
::::: You can append ?showall=1 (https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Staff_and_contractors?showall=1) to see the uncollapsed version on-load as well. I kind of agree that the page looks better without the collapsing, but I know that it was a major goal of the redesign to make the page less overwhelming (and I don't have any better ideas for doing so), so I'm not going to fight about it. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 18:39, 2 September 2012 (UTC) |
|||
: I really like all the people in that leftmost column, and I don't think any of them want to look like the "[[w:Boss (video gaming)|level boss]]". There's something really wrong about this layout. Honestly, I don't even know what the rubric would be to be a big enough boss to appear so left-justified :P What is the purpose of displaying the directors here, are they the first line for communication? ... not everything has to be an organogram ;) Just so that I'm not offering criticism and no suggestions, I would prefer that the collapsed departments have a short summary along the lines of: ''Contact: wikistuff-l; Home page: wmfwiki/Blarghdept; Director: Vale Dictorian; Roster: 2^N employees & a lonely contractor, see more ->'' [[User:AWight|AWight]] ([[User talk:AWight|talk]]) 09:31, 28 December 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:: Show, don't tell. :-) You can edit here. Improve the page. This is a wiki, after all. If you need a testing ground, make your own. You know how. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 09:35, 28 December 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:::I believe the intention behind this was to at least indicate who the heads of department are because previously it was just a jumbled mess. The page currently functions as a rough organisational chart - looking at Engineering for example, Erik is VP, then Rob is Director of Platform, Terry for Features, CT Woo for Technical Operation etc - so the "head" of that sub department is first. Other than that everyone else is simply sorted in alphabetical order, but I'd be interested to see your improvements. Like MZ said, this is a wiki, so please feel free to edit to improve - if there are any problems, your edits can always be undone. [[User:Thehelpfulone|<font color="red">'''The'''</font>]][[User talk:Thehelpfulone|<font color="black">'''helpful'''</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Thehelpfulone|<font color="red">'''one'''</font>]] 13:02, 28 December 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:::: It's fine to have some heads on the left, and as long as that's the org structure we have, it makes sense to be honest about it. But let's get rid of the collapsing, so the staff page actually... lists our staff. Any arguments against? [[User:AWight|AWight]] ([[User talk:AWight|talk]]) 17:51, 27 November 2014 (UTC) |
|||
I have no problem with the collapsing but it needs to be more intuitive. "See the team" is not conspicuous enough; this could probably be fixed easily.--[[User:Jasper Deng|Jasper Deng]] ([[User talk:Jasper Deng|talk]]) 22:58, 28 November 2014 (UTC) |
|||
== Table of contents == |
|||
It really is quite helpful to have a table of contents box on this page. Perhaps [[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] was right. With some work, inclusion of a table of contents box could be made to work here. Removing the numbering, matching the page styling in terms of background color and border, figuring out placement/collapsibility on the page, etc. The hierarchical view ''is'' helpful, though. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 04:00, 28 January 2014 (UTC) |
|||
:Of course I'm right. There's a reason if TOC is the default in MediaWiki. However I won't argue for this any longer, I have [[User:Nemo_bis/Staff_and_contractors]] bookmarked and that egotistically works for me. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 07:17, 28 January 2014 (UTC) |
|||
::The absence of TOC and the decrese in semantics of the headers seems to get more problematic: now we have to maintain separate pages like [[Org chart]] for links to sections, really? --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 03:59, 10 June 2015 (UTC) |
