What should we call our wiki's forum? Wikipedia calls theirs the "village pump"; RationalWiki calls theirs the "saloon bar"; ED calls theirs "Thizzlehat Junction Center"; etc. http://en.kingswiki.com/wiki/Project:Forum

The Round Table? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_Table)
Little Darks Hallway?
Wall Victim Research Center?

It is fun thinking about these things, creative too!

What should we call the sysops and bureaucrats? Sysops have access to block users, delete pages, etc. while bureaucrats have access to add and remove sysops through user rights management.

We could call sysops "knights" because they defend the wiki against spammers, vandals, etc. What would we call bureaucrats, who outrank sysops? Lords, or earls, or barons or something?

We can create intermediate ranks as well, but that'll usually be unnecessary on a small wiki.

There are also techs (such as myself); we could call them "wizards" if we're going to continue with the feudal analogy. Of course, "wizard" has unfortunate connotations in the manosphere.

Actually, though, "knights" also has unfortunate connotations to the extent that they're white knights. At any rate, I think we should go with "petshop" instead of "round table".
