The main page of the site notes: "en.boywiki is rebuilding from our extended offline period. Articles are being restored from the previous database. New [[user]]-accounts can be openned, but editting-permissions are not automatic. BoyWiki also needs an [[sysop|administration]] team. For editting-privileges or interest in joining the team, contact [email protected]". Stub articles are called "fledglings" on this site; its [http://en.boywiki.org/wiki/BoyWiki:Fledgling page on the subject] notes: "In real life, a fledgling is a young bird just beginning to learn to fly. It is often used metaphorically about an inexperienced or young person, or a young entity or enterprise." | |||
The original BoyWiki proposal called for a hierarchy of a Keeper, Curators, and Scribes. A number of security measures were introduced, including only allowing the Curator team to add images, disabling all tracking or displaying of [[IP address]]es, and enabling the complete expunging of problematic edits (a euphemism for content that could get the site in trouble with law enforcement). The site was deliberately put on a separate domain from the rest of "Free Spirits" in order to distance the wiki's collection of many different opinions from expressing any official endorsement of content by Free Spirits. | The original BoyWiki proposal called for a hierarchy of a Keeper, Curators, and Scribes.
