The first list (below) is a log of changes to the site made by moderators (changes that can't be made by normal members). The second is a list on which normal members can write requests for moderator action to be taken.
Administrative Change-Log
Moderators and Administrators should use this list to log their actions as a MMW staff member. This includes, but is not limited to: stating reasons for thread deletion, explanations for the banning of members or IP addresses, renaming/moving pages etc.. It is expected that staff members make entries for any of their actions, but grouping together similar actions taken in the same day is allowed. No one other than Moderators or Administrators should edit this list.
- rennatnave101: changed administrative requests page to accommodate for new purpose; renamed page Administrative Action
- Leveleditor6680: Deleted a spam page.
Deletion note: "A page created by an anonymous user, probably a bot. A blatant advertisement and completely irrelevant to the Lego Mars Mission Wiki. Furthermore it looked overly suspicious linking to a questionable website and containing download links for a setup file." - Comander7: Deleted five unrelated posts from 4/24/2015 on the thread "CAMM | Project Progress"
- Mr.Galaxy: Deleted a spam page. Another advert.
- EXTAlienRobot201: Deleted a spam page. (That spammer is persisting...)
- Leveleditor6680: Banned anonymous IP address responsible for spam pages noted above.
- Leveleditor6680: Deleted yet more spam by an anonymous user.
- Comander7 (5/7/2015): Site Policy change within Section 8 - Stance on censored words made clearer and stricter.
- ETXAlienRobot201: Deleted a spam page. MORE spam-bot pages.
- ETXAlienRobot201: Moved page: "Lego Battles" under "Games Like Crystalien Conflict" , as that is a more suitable location for it.
- ETXAlienRobot201: Moved several pages and entire sections to "Member Projects". It's a more suitable location for them.
- Leveleditor6680: Locked ~30 old threads on the CAMM page, and deleted about 5 of them that had no particular value left.
- Leveleditor6680: Moved thread "Lego Mar Mission Game Ideas" from deleted page "Martian TechCenter" to "CrystAlien Redux - Suggestions".
- ETXAlienRobot201: Deleted page "mmo idea - by milkev". The page was hard to read, redundant, and cac multiplayer, IF added, will be implemented differently from what this page suggested.
- ETXAlienRobot201: deleted 22 threads and 1 image because they were either long-dead, redundant, no longer useful, or just pointless. The image was deleted because it was never supposed to have been uploaded to the photo gallery, and till now, I never bothered to fix this.
- rennatnave101: Moved Administrative Action page under "Lego Mars Mission" page. This page has more to do with the site than Mars Mission, and most pages of that kind are under the "Lego Mars Mission" page.
- Comander7: Deleted a thread bump post on the thread "CAMM | Project Progress"
- Leveleditor6680: Cleaned up threads on "CrystAlien Conflict Cheats" page (deleted/locked as necessary).
- rennatnave101: Various pages being moved or renamed in the RPG. Temporarily unlisted RPG scenarios for reason: scenarios may be unnecessary if new RPG works well.
- rennatnave101: Renamed "The HardCore M.M.W. Members" to "The HardCore MMW Members." The periods are no longer necessary as MMW is an acceptable abbreviation for Mars Mission Wiki.
- Leveleditor6680: Sorted through 3 pages of very old threads. Locked 58 threads, deleted 2 threads, removed irrelevant tags.
- Leveleditor6680: Deleted 3 posts from the "CAMM | Project Progress" thread mainly to avoid unnecessary future shenanigans.
- Mr.Galaxy: Locked thread "Editing" for necromancy.
- Leveleditor6680: Administration cleanup: Demoted 1 administrator 'matzoman4' and 1 moderator 'beginnereditor' to "Registered User" status due to inactivity. Last activity dates were "Aug 28, 2010" and "Mar 17, 2014" respectively. The following message was given: "Demoted due to inactivity.

-leveleditor6680/Josh". - rennatnave101: Merged Archived RPG and "Current" RPG into same folder, and moved RPG page to below Member Projects page.

- Crystalien Conflict Checkers deleted, as it has not been determined to serve any useful/obvious purpose
- "No ads Tutorial" and "Great deals on Mars Mission Sets" moved to new section: "Information II" , along with "Legal" and "Mars Mission Information"

- further action is planned, and will be discussed later.
- Leveleditor6680: Locked thread "I will support your project, but in a diffrent way"; thread has been responded to and further replies by others are clearly not going to be constructive; marked the thread as un-reported.
- Leveleditor6680: Deleted thread "I will support your project, but in a diffrent way"; a delayed PM has requested that the email address in the first post be removed, however the only way to do this is to delete the entire thread.
- Leveleditor6680: Locked all threads on the CAMM page that were older than 2014.
- Leveleditor6680: Deleted a number of posts in the "CAMM | Project Progress" thread that were particularly low quality or didn't make sense after other posts were deleted, and proceeded to lock and unfeature the thread. See the last post in the thread for more info.

- Leveleditor6680: Administration cleanup: Demoted 1 moderator 'Comander7' to "Registered User" status due to inactivity. Last activity date was "Jun 19, 2015". The following message was given: "Demoted due to inactivity. If you become active on the wiki again I can reinstate your status as Moderator. -leveleditor6680/Josh". Note: As a security practice, inactive privileged accounts are demoted to prevent potential situations where someone guesses the correct password (since it has not been changed for a long time) and then gains higher access than a regular user.
Simply write your request detailing the entity in question and the action you wish to be taken. A reason is not necessary for the change to be made, but it would be helpful. Your request will be reviewed by a moderator or administrator before a decision is made. The status of your request will change depending on the action taken.
Status colors:
Black = New Request (Not yet reviewed)
Grey = Action pending or in progress
Orange = Clarification Needed (Please clarify, no action taken)
Green = Accepted (Action taken)
Red = Denied (No action taken, reason given)
Do not expect action to be taken immediately upon request, but if nothing has been done in about a day, post a thread or PM a moderator or administrator.
- AstroM13: The page "Olympous Mons" under "Mars Mission Information" should be renamed. It is a locked page and the name needs to be changed to "Olympus Mons". Thanks!
- AstroM13: I would like to recommend that the C; O and C; A keys be changed to just OC and AC, in order to conform better to the other two keys (SC and NC) and just make the key look better, as well.
- rennatnave101: Good idea. I don't know why I didn't just do that to begin with. I don't remember If I put it that way on any pages or not, but we need label/relabel anyway.
- AstroM13: I recommend that the 2 separate RPG archives (one in the main directory and one in "More Pages") be consolidated for easier access.
- AstroM13: I believe that the "DRAFT" label on the "Member Project Guidelines" page should be removed. The guidelines look complete and are linked to on the "Member Projects" page, so they should be marked as official and finished for now.
- ETXAlienRobot201: The staff will be discussing this issue promptly. No offense, but my fellow moderators have had months to do something, even post some feedback, and nothing. Three day period for final challenges or updates, else it becomes official site policy by default.
- passed into policy, draft status removed
- AstroM13: I recommend that the pages "alien defense barrier" and "astro security field" and "security field" in the RPG be removed. They serve no discernible purpose.
- Leveleditor6680: The pages have been deleted. A moderator can restore them if they are ever needed again.
- [Insert new requests starting on this line]
Thanks for reading,
-- Administration
