Forum:Discussion about Discussions

A member of FANDOM (aka Wikia) Staff has contacted several administrators on The Sims Wiki, asking if we would like to activate the "Discussions" feature on The Sims Wiki. The administrators contacted have not taken action on this request because activating the feature is obviously a decision that belongs to the wiki community, not merely the wiki's administrators. So, let's have it.

The question is simple: do you support activating the Discussions feature on The Sims Wiki, and why/why not? --  LiR talk · blog  ·  contribs 02:37, January 18, 2018 (UTC)


 * The current wiki-style forums on the wiki are well established and I don't see much reason to replace them. I dislike how non-registered users are not able to participate in discussions, as IPs are humans too, and since we ought to respect people's decisions not to register for an account, it seems unfair to exclude them from community discussions. I'm also not happy with how Discussions do not appear in Special:RecentChanges, and I really do not want to have to monitor yet another page for abuse. The wiki-style forums -- and even the Wikia Forums and Message Wall features -- all appeared in recent changes, which made it easier to monitor for abuse. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 21:05, January 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with K6ka's sentiments. The discussion are a nice feature - for another wiki. For now, they seem unnecessary. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 08:42, February 16, 2018 (UTC)
