(This may already be in place somewhere when I wasn't paying attention, please let me know if it is and disregard)

I'd like to propose a new "user group", which doesn't specifically have any rights on here, but are the people who can run and maintain our social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, maybe elsewhere?). From what I can tell, the maintainer of these sites is sort of passed from person to person every so often with no real community input or any way to clearly tell who is in fact running these sites. At the moment, it's definitely not transparent and the community at the moment has no say as to who's running it. We could also probably do with a bit more activity on some of our sites (I'm thinking of our Facebook page moreso than Twitter, the Twitter page has been pretty good, and we've just passed 1000 followers. But some more posts can't hurt). So, I'm suggesting we:

  1. Either:
    • Have a user rights request page on here, much like BP:RFA
    • Or, extend the news reporter group to be allowed to also handle the sites
  2. Make a page, "Brickipedia:Social media sites", which lists all our social media sites and who's currently actively maintaining each of them so people know who exactly to contact if they have any questions/suggestions whatever for the sites.

  • On the Tech Department Skype, Ajr suggested some other community members took responsibility for stuff. It's a coincidence you posted this. -SirComputer (talk) 07:11, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
  • I don't meet half the requirements Meiko suggested for the similar idea over at Meta, but I can use Twitter and I know this site so I can help with the Twitter. CJC95 (talk) 10:34, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
  • It doesn't really need a group or a request process. All it needs is someone who has a tiny bit of understanding about how to use social media effectively and is trustworthy on here. Anyone like that can just PM me on chat or email me and I'd be glad to give them access to the Facebook and Twitter pages for Brickipedia. --ToaMeiko (talk) 16:18, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
