Make new positions for both the wiki and other AVID projects and add interim members while implement breaks within certain positions
i've been thinking that although in the past year we've made numerous progressions that helped the wiki's growth and perception among many, this year also had some incidents, especially within the discord server, that either severely impacted some members' mental health (especially within the bureaucrats, admins, mods, and staff) to the point that some had to step down briefly or demoralized by the state of the wiki/server in spite of said progressions. so, i would like to propose two ideas.
1. make new (and probably separate) positions for graphic design for the wiki, the avid youtube channel, avid social media, and future avid projects so it wouldn't have to confine into a small amount of members within the four upper positions and spreading themselves too thin since i feel like expanding themselves beyond the four upper positions didn't help matters, especially within their mental health.
2. add interim members and put in breaks within certain positions, either for mental health reasons, when some are too busy outside of avid, or just time breaks in general (like hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly). that way it would ease the stress of oversighting not just the wiki, but also the discord server, the youtube channel, the graphics design, or other avid projects.
but that's just my idea, thanks for reading. Mr. Gann (talk) 06:55, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Support
Support For Part 1 of the proposal. Having staff managing all aspects of our site has significantly impacted our ability to function as a team. Eternity Media Group (talk) 07:25, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Abstain
Abstain for part 2 of this proposal. I'm not sure that break periods can be properly enforced yet. I suspect that if implemented, it would become something we get used to over time, however, hence not an all out oppose. Eternity Media Group (talk) 07:25, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
