:rocket: The migration to new Team Report is complete!

Now the general Team Report is here. This is a pivot spreadsheet and only a few editors have access to it. Links from there lead to personal spreadsheets of team members.

Here are the benefits of the new format:

:black_small_square:Each team member now has their own reporting spreadsheet
:black_small_square:It is not necessary for everyone to edit one common huge sheet together
:black_small_square:The new solution will provide simultaneous submission of reports for hundreds of authors
:black_small_square:No need to ask support to add multiple new lines to your report and now you have unlimited lines!
:black_small_square:Now there are no complicated horizontal scrolls: you just add new entries from top to bottom
:black_small_square:Accidental changes by third parties and vandalism are excluded
:black_small_square:Only you and the editors have access to your report (but anyone can see it)
:black_small_square:It will be much easier and faster for editors to check your work

:small_red_triangle:IMPORTANT! Almost all of the team members already have access to their personal report spreadsheets. First of all, open the general Team Report, find yourself in the list and go to your personal spreadsheet. Check that you can edit it. If so, there is nothing more you need to do, congratulations! If not, then write in the chat about your problem.

:point_right: Each new author will need to require the creation of their own personal spreadsheet so that you can prepare an application with your work. We will tell you how to do this later. Stay in touch!

PS: The old Team Report will be sent to the archive.

:gem:Dear community members!

Recently, members of our community discussed the question of mass page reservation.

:bar_chart: We have conducted two polls on this topic:

03.11.2020 community voted on the topic of mass page reservation and decided to introduce *a one-time limit of up to 3 articles
07.10.2020 one more poll was held, according to which authors who have selected a large number of articles (before the voting results) can leave a maximum of 10 articles and reduce it to 3 articles in the near future

:bangbang: Important: a one-time limit of up to 3 articles for all authors and translators is working in Wiki right now! Please notice that one cannot exceed this limit starting from the next reporting period.

*A one-time limit means that the author has made X articles, uploaded it to Wiki and only then can reserve the same number of articles (or less) again.

:dollar: About new rates and rewards in Wiki Subgovernance

Yesterday (20.11.2020) new Wiki Members have made an important decision to change the rates and rewards in Wiki Subgovernance.

The following rates were accepted (the price is indicated in TON for the simple-medium-strong level, respectively):

■ translation: 10 - 12 - 15
■ rewriting: 10 - 12 - 15
■ chief editing: 1000 - 1500 - 2000
■ tech support: 1000 - 1500 - 2000
■ improvement service: 40 ton / 8-hour working day
■ administrative support: 120 ton / 8-hour working day
■ rates for copypaste are excluded

Besides, for all WRCs, we set a maximum reward cap of 5,000 Tons per one contestant if the WRC is restarted approximately once a month. In case the WRC restarts with a different frequency,then this limit must be changed proportionally.

:speech_balloon: You can discuss the passed proposal on the forum

:exclamation: IMPORTANT: these changes are effective immediately and will apply to all FUTURE Wiki Renewal Contests. Rates and rewards for the current contest remain unchanged!

Rules for creating articles:

The requirement is that the article should provide information about technologies and ecosystem of Free TON in simple terms.

Technical articles should explain the topic in plain language.

Articles about companies connected with Free TON should contain information about what these companies do for Free TON. Detailed information about the company is unnecessary.

The author who is going to write an article should provide a brief justification in the Wiki chat with tagging our responsible editors @bivanovsky and @rollie : what questions the article answers and what audience it is intended for.

We present to the authors an updated spreadsheet of needed articles with a separate tab for each language!

Advantages of the new format:

  • now each language can have its own structure and organization of content different from the English version of the Wiki

  • each tab contains links to articles for this particular language, not the original English version

  • a separate tab for each language greatly simplifies the work of review editors, and also makes navigation through the table easier

  • no need to write subheadings with Wiki categories in the table

  • no need to put a “cross” for recently written articles, you just need to remove your username after writing

How to use the spreadsheet?

  1. Suggest the article, necessary in your opinion, in Wiki chat, discuss its necessity and usefulness for the Wiki

  2. If the article is approved by the community, add its title to the column Article for your language

  3. Enter your Telegram username in the column Reserved, next to the selected article (only if the article is not reserved by another author)

  4. After completing the article, add a hyperlink to your work to the column Article (Ctrl + K, insert a link to the article)

  5. Wait for the quality assessment from the review editors (appears in the column Editor comment)

The results of the #12 Wiki Renewal Contest showed that many translators neglected to approve articles for translation.

Please read more in the pinned message in the working chat and in the announcement.

:point_right:We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the jury can give fewer points for submissions with the translation of not approved articles.
