 * We can't just create admins out of thin air. We can't control how many admins we have... period


 * Details are exactly what are screwing over claims. Newbs aren't reading the claim rules thouroughly, and break even the most obvious rules. The more specific you get, the more rules there are to be broken and to work around. Not only that, but it limits what creativity they can have with claims.


 * Detailed guidlines for how to make calims: Already Done Camp Half-Blood Role Playing Wiki:Policies Overview/Characters, Camp Half-Blood Role Playing Wiki:Policies Overview/Quests & Missions, They are also located AT the claiming pages.


 * Create Simple Character Templates: Already Done Version 5 Character Page It doesn't take hours to make this, nor does any newb ever have to code their own one...


 * Allow everyone to have a surveillance duty. Create a Report page: ANYONE CAN ALEADY report thing that don't seem correct... all they have to do is simple message an admin, or helper. That's a lot easier then making more work for admins, like having them monitor a reports page, and t's also more private as to avoid conflict. Not only that, but that would be a tool FOR a troll. They would make false reports and cause problems.


 * When creating a Claim, you are required to link your Claim to a hub page where Rollbacks, Admins, etc. can have easy access to viewing it.: Dude... have you not seen the Claiming Page? that's LITERALLY what it is.
 * On this page ANYONE can check a claim: Worst idea I've ever heard in my life. People can't make claims correctly in the first place, so lets let anyone of them check other people's claims. It would be a hassle to filter through all the incorrect and unnecessary checks to get to the helpful ones. This would also be a tool for trolls.
 * signitures on claims you think should pass: No. Again, see reason above.


 * Claiming template: [[File:Becuase_people_apparently_forgot_this_was_here.png]]
 * Have a "Comment" section which allows staff members to give comments that are aiming to fix errors in claims.: Dude... have you even seen a claiming page? that's the most basica thing, that every claim has...


 * Have a "Review" section that allows ANYONE to share their feedback on a Claim: Again, worst idea ever. There is a reason only admins and helpers can check claims. People would 1. start arguments in the section 2. Give wrong and false advice 3. Make uless or un-needed remarks 4. Make it impossible to tell if the actuall claim owner made an edit, because it would be drowned in other people's edits. Overall, it would be useless letting everyone comment when you already have users who know exactly what they are doing.


 * Quest Notification page, and char takeovers: This is the person running the claim's responsibility. They made the claim, they keep it running. Admins have much busier things to deal with than someone's quest that they could be running themselves.


 * Put inactive chars up for adoption: Bad idea, because what if the person has a change of heart, and wants to come back and Rp? They can potentially lose all their characters, and have their own ideas taken from them.


 * Pre-made Quests/Missions: This will not increase quest activity, and it would horribly break canon. This would require large amounts of time for admins to "GM" in order to keep it running smoothly. People need to make their own quests and run it, so that 1. it stays canon. If teh SAME quest happened multiple times, that is horribly unrealistic and completely ruins canon and a timeline... something we never want to do.

I really hope these comments can completely strip away that arrogant tone in the title: How to improve CHBRPW (and save it). Because none of these ideas would be an improvement, IF we didn't even already have them... (and save it)... that's just arrogance where you think these ideas can save the wiki, and ignorance because you failed to even see the fact multiple of these ideas are already set into motion, and you fail to see the obvious problems that would come out of them.

I will also make this statment: I haven't read the other comments on this before i'm posting this... chances are it's gonna repeat, but if it DOES repeat, that only means these flaws were just that much more obvious...
