Sorry for taking so long to reply as I was quite busy the other day. Regarding that navigation change, some of them are fine I guess, such as getting rid of the duplicate links or the admin tools and staff-only policies. However, I'm indifferent about the other changes and somewhat oppose the staff link merge, as the "Staff" link already points to the staff list page when clicked and it's there for quick navigation for our users when there's any problems with the wiki, not to mention that we're hardly receiving any new staff applications these days; less and less people seem to want to apply as staff members it seems so we don't really mind if we change the wiki navigation links once in a while.

Thanks for the reply!

If you believe the "staff" drop-down is used often enough by users of this wiki, to have it placed in such a prominent position, and you're personally okay with separately updating both the staff page and top navigation in tandem each time there's an admin or moderator change, then I suppose there isn't any particular pressure to change that. I can see you've been around this wiki for over seven years, so it seems likely that you'll continue to have a presence on the wiki going into the future and will thus be able to keep these links updated yourself.

My reasoning behind the proposal to remove the "staff" drop-down was two-fold:

• To eliminate the duplication of work (ie. having to update the same thing in two places), and possibly allowing admins to never need to update that part of the top navigation ever again, effectively "future-proofing" that link.
• To cut down on the overall volume of links in the top navigation, since every additional link in a wiki's top navigation makes the user experience slightly more convoluted. The theory being: whenever similar information (or links) can be consolidated into a single spot, a wiki is more effective at leading users to a place where they can get all information about a topic (in this case, everything they ever want to know about the wiki's staff in one spot), rather than being presented with three tiers of links to individual users' profile pages.

In any case, based on the feedback I have received from yourself and some of the other administrators, I am going to update the top navigation as I indicated in the thread linked above, except for the "staff" dropdown (unless you happen to change your mind about that).
