If you are reading this, then congratulations! You have joined an elite group of editors, here to protect Conservapedia, and act as "stewards" of the project. Below are some tips that will make your job as a Sysop much more effective:
Blocking
- When blocking vandals or other troublemakers, uncheck the "block anonymous users only" box. The block is more secure this way as it will block the IP Address that the vandal or troublemaker is using which will make it impossible to use the same exact internet connection to edit Conservapedia.
- To check if a new editor is a sockpuppet, use the "Checkuser" function to see if the editor is using the same IP address to edit Conservapedia as a known vandal. Checkuser can be found here, along with a short tutorial on how to use it here.
- Given the amount of vandalism at Conservapedia, if the IP address check shows that the IP address is being used by two usernames the person is likely a sockpuppet who is using the same computer connection to edit Conservapedia. It is suggested that you block the person and if a mistake was made and the person was merely using a public computer that another person used the mistake can be undone if necessary. However, given the amount of vandalism at Conservapedia it is better to err on the side of caution and block the suspected sockpuppet.
Moving
- To move a page, click the "move" tab on the upper pane. It should be directly to the right of the "delete" tab. Once you have clicked this button, you will see a page which enables you to move the content of one page to a page with a different title. Simply type the new title of the page in to the box entitled "To new title:", and give a short reason in the "Reason:" box. By default, the "move associated talk page" checkbox should be marked; this should always be marked. It's up to you whether or not you want to "watch" the page (this places it on your watchlist).
Keeping Informed of New Developments
A area of Conservapedia has been created for Sysop discussion so Sysops can be informed of various new developments. The area is located here: Conservapedia:Sysops
