In general, I like this idea. I have some questions about how it would be implemented, especially considering that our primary goal is to make things easier and more consistent. Right now, I'll ask just one of the questions I have. How will people update the spreadsheet? For complete contractors, that doesn't matter. For seasonals and new permanents, it matters very much. As far as I know, the only way for users to update a spreadsheet on Wikia would be to upload the spreadsheet as a file, then have other users download the file, make their changes, then re-upload the file. There are so many things that can go wrong in that scenario, and so many ways in which they can go wrong, that I am completely opposed to the idea unless there is a way editors can change the spreadsheet directly on the site. If it has to be up, down, up, down, I say no. If there's another way, we can talk.
