:My opinion regarding what LiR calls arbitrary thresholds largely aligns with LiR. I'd venture to say that the wiki activity itself has grown down, and the enthusiasm for featured materials have gone down in general. It's been quite some time since Featured Fanon and Fan Fiction became obsolete, and Fanon Battles generate nowhere near the activity that the regular battle does, despite a fairly healthy start. My opinion is that the problem, at least in case of the fanon-related things, simply involves the glut of fanon material of acceptable yet not outstanding quality. I'd personally would wish for a big fanon critiquing/revision project to spiff up fanons, especially of the more active fanon authors who could use other peoples' inputs (such as myself, who believe my fanons, at least at the beginning, is a pile of incoherent pile that needs a bit of patching up). As for the featured tutorial, my opinion on that matter is that not many people come here for tutorials, asides the most basic ones like extracting headshots, thus tutorial section as of the moment has serious limitations given competition like the various modding sites and youtube videos which cover more technical things.

::I think the fanon critique idea is a good one as well. Since it's your idea, maybe you should run with it and try to implement it? Or else try to get a discussion going towards implementing it, if you feel doing it unilaterally is too bold (I personally don't think that it would be too bold). And I think your point about featured game guides/tutorials is right on as well; our Game Guides namespace has always been a little disappointing. The idea when it was created was that it would be a place for more technical help with the games. That did not occur, I think mainly for two reasons; 1 - a lack of members on TSW with significant technical knowledge about the games, and 2 - as you mentioned, the prevalence of other sites that offer that information already. That's not to say that I'd advocate for getting rid of the namespace, but I think you're right that there's simply not enough content there to begin selecting features. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 02:38, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
