User's note: I really hope I'm not going too far this time...

So, as you know, I'm not an admin. *takes off costume and reveals to be DJ Spenstar* OR AM I?

Seriously though, I am not an admin and therefore the only way I can really help improving this wiki (apart from removing unallowed votes from the Featured stuff ballots) is by means of suggestions. Ok, I know I was annoying enough when I insisted on the new frontpage, but what the heck, right? Momma tells us we have to make the difference.

I basically have three suggestions this time. (I know you're thinking "Oh, here we go again...")
 * 1) More help pages. Okay, there are the writer's workshops, but I'm talking about something more in-depth, such as a corner for FAQs. Other idea I had was creating solutions to contemporary problems, like etiquette manuals and a help guide on common mistakes (responding to messages on self's talkpage etc.).
 * 2) Recycle some old ideas. A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there were many good ideas that ended up in a wiki-grave next to DJ Spenstar . Just go to the Watercooler. Doesn't it make you a bit... nostalgic? I mean, the story reviews, the wiki-project, the newsletter... So many good ideas that vanished due to the lack of people to take care of them. Restarting the story reviews (with a limit of stories per month to avoid clutter and admin overload) would sure be a good deal in a world of newbies salivating for feedback. IDK how the new wiki-project thing turned out, though. The newsletter... well, it would certainly be fun, if there was a user to keep it going. Same thing about the reviews, and a great deal of everything else we could... ressurect. Except for Spenny, he's dead. Which brings us to...
 * 3) More admins. Yeah. We have precisely ten administrators, of which only three seem to be really active, not including Kenny or Nalyd, who come around sporadically. It's been a while since we last saw Gigi, Anonymos or that one pixie I'm afraid I have killed, and let's not even mention Spenny. This is one of the main reasons why admins are often overloaded with requests, questions, and complaints. So I think the admins should pick a new admin. Good choices IMO would be Fanny, TDIwriter, Gideon, Jessica, Toad, Crystal and TAU and me . I'm sure some of the mentioned will have good reasons not to accept it, as well as some of the current admins may disagree with my opinions, but you have to admit we need more admins urgently.

Also, I think some problems should be fixed ASAP, such as the story categorizing and the frontpage news update. For now, I think that's all. Sorry if I'm being annoying and remember that quote:

Okay, wrong quote. The right one is:
