Hello.
As you may or may not know, I have been working around 63-hour work-weeks taking care of this wiki for a long time.
However, this constant overwork has impacted badly on my mental and physical health, and I need to cut it down considerably, preferably to 4 or 5 hours a day.
In order to do so, I would need to remove some part of my current workload, which currently consists of monitoring all content revision threads, new blog posts, and suspicious edits in the wiki, on top of additional bureaucratic tasks, such as recruiting new staff members and attempting to manage conflicts within the community.
As a bureaucrat, I think that it seems more important that I stay in touch with the community via interacting in the content revision threads and blog posts, than it is to monitor all of the profile edits.
However, the last part is still very important, to avoid vandalism, statistics changes without preceding discussion, poorly structured profiles with insufficiently motivated statistics, locking new tier 2/1/0 pages, seeing to that all new profile pages feature the 3 main categories explained in the standard format page, etcetera.
Hence, I would like to request that the rest of the staff help each other with splitting the workload of monitoring suspicious edits by using the following page:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?hidepatrolled=1&limit=2000
You can open each of their profile edit histories in separate browser windows, by clicking "hist", so you don't have to constantly reload the main recent changes page, as it takes quite a lot of time.
You can also reduce the chance of doing the same workload as other staff members by clicking the monitored option for edits that you have inspected, as this ensures they won't show up in recent changes with the selected filter active. However, only Administrators and Content Moderators are able to use the function.
Regular members can also help out by reporting bad edits in the rule-violation report thread, or poorly created pages in the profile deletion request thread.
Help from the community would be extremely appreciated.
Btw: If somebody knows of a link to a page that automatically lists all of the new blog posts within the wiki, this would also be very helpful.
