Community Messages

[This is mostly for the staff, but anyone is free to chime in]

Ok, this has been slightly bothering me for a very long time.

When going to the Wiki Activity page, the bottom right corner will display a text box reading "Community Messages." It still has the default text in it saying that someone should write something important on it. I know this is very minor, but honestly putting in some kind of important messages or reminders would only take 10 minutes max and would give the wiki a more complete feeling.

Any thoughts on what should be written down?

 

[Darkness552]

just current happenings that is going on in the wiki

 

[Sheoth]

Yes, but any ideas on what specifically should be put down? I don't want to unilaterally do it myself without others thoughts.

 

[SchutzenDunkelZiel1217]

Ohhh... has the JavaScript lockdown ended???.

Perhaps some rules/suggestions to always be polite to each other in debating and things like that..

 

[Darkness552]

Javascript im going to have to check what is up with that at the community hub

 

[Sheoth]

Yeah, I was thinking things like, "don't flood the comments with arguments on characters rankings," or "Dont complain about the Dragonball rankings in general," and "follow the proper format when making a character page."

Things like that.

@Darkness552: Ok..

@Sheoth: Well those seem good but we should wait for Antvasima's thoughts on this...

 

[Sheoth]

@SchutzenDunkelZiel1217:

Exactly. That's why I didn't want to simply change it myself.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, you could check through our rules section on the main page for what you think are the most important rules to be written there. "Don't flood the comments sections", "follow the proper format", "behave in a civil manner", etcetera are all good options, although the Dragon Ball one is more of a minor specific rule. I think that we should stick with big general ones.

 

[Sheoth]

Okay, I see. I'll get to it then.

 

[Antvasima]

Write your suggestions for the rules to be featured here before changing the infobox please.

 

[Sheoth]

So heres what I've literally written in the edited infobox:

[Antvasima]

Well, not at the moment, but I can take a look at it later. I am afraid that I am a bit busy with the daily backlog right now.

 

[Antvasima]

I have now edited the community message box. I mostly stuck with your version, but made a few minor modifications.

Thank you for your help, and it is excellent that you were attentive enough to notice this.

 

[Sheoth]

Thank you as well Ant for fixing it.

 

[Antvasima]

No problem.
