Administrative Prodedures

MOVES Admin This wiki is to record how people in the MOVES Institute performed these various admin tasks. Since much of what we do is repetitive for the Institute as a whole but is often new to each member who has to perform a task, it makes sense to create a collective memory that people can check when they have to perform an admin task for the first time. If you look for how to do a task and there's nothing here, you're out of luck and will have to trail blaze yourself. If that's the case, please create a new page so that others may benefit from your pain. HOW TO USE THIS WIKI Rather than using the threads below, please enter information on the pages under "Navigation" in the upper left part of the page. If you need to update/change an existing page because the information there is either incomplete or out of data, please go ahead and do so. If you are writing about something new, you can add a new page and add your information there. To add a new page, use the "Add a new page" tool in the "Page Toolbox" to the right. NOTE: The page you add will be added as a subpage (or whatever the correct terminology is) of whatever page you are currently on. So if you are adding something that falls under one of the existing pages but is so important that it warrants its own page (e.g., an "International Travel" page under "Travel"), you should be on that page (e.g., "Travel") when you use the "Add a new page" tool. If you are adding something that doesn't fall under any existing pages, you should select that tool from this "Home" page. If you don't do this correctly, use the "Move Page" option from the drop-down menu in the "Page Toolbox." When you add new pages, please add keywords, so people can find things easily. Additionally, after you modify a page, it will ask you to describe the edit. Please give a brief synopsis of what you did so people can easily find and understand the changes as they take place. Lastly, each entry can have threaded discussions. If you find something that is wrong or outdated in this wiki, it is better to correct the page than add a thread; if we do it via threads, everyone will not be certain that the info in each page is correct and will have to hunt through each thread to find the correct info. I'm not sure what belongs in threads now, but I think that minimizing their use and adding any comments to the articles is the way to go initially. We can revisit this if we realize that certain items that fit better in threads. The only exception to this is the thread at the Discussion Forums entitled "How to Improve this Wiki." This is where to put your thoughts on how we can improve this wiki. CONDUCT This is a private wiki, meaning that you had to log on to get here. This was done because I didn't want to hang out our dirty laundry where everyone on the Internet could see it. Despite this, please be professional on this wiki. It's acceptable to say, "This document needs to go to Belinda in the accounts receivable office, but she has lost things in the past, so send a copy to Frieda also and follow up early and often." It is not acceptable to say, "Belinda is a %*#$#(* moron training to be an idiot and failing, so send a copy to Frieda." Some of the entries on this wiki are going to be opinions or advice. If you disagree, please don't just erase (unless the opinion or advice has been superceded, like how to route a form that no longer exists) but add your comments after the opinion and explain why you disagree.
