Forum:Starting a development forum: Difference between revisions

I would like to propose that we create a new subforum dedicated to wiki development discussions, similar to how [[The Sims Wiki talk:Development Portal|the Dev Portal talk page]] has been used in the past. We've been moving steadily away from using project talk pages to conduct community discussions, and having a dedicated subforum for these kinds of discussions might make them more accessible to newer or less-experienced users. Additionally, there doesn't really exist, in the forums, a place to discuss ongoing developments or ideas without ''proposing'' a specific change or action. The way I see it, the new "Development forum" and the existing Community Discussions forum could work in tandem - an idea is proposed on the development side, and then a proposal to adopt it is introduced to Community Discussions once the idea is refined and ready for mass consumption. Alternately, an idea could be proposed on the Community Discussions forum, then shifted over to the Development forum once approved, to work on the idea's implementation.

 

 

:In light of [[Forum:Replacing the help desk]], perhaps it wouldn't hurt to ''not'' use the old wiki-style DPL forums for this, and instead use a talk page like noticeboard to facilitate these discussions? Otherwise, given the use of the ''#technical'' channel on the [[Project:Discord|Discord server]], it would be good to have a more centralized location for the more technical, developmental aspects of the wiki. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 15:48, February 16, 2019 (UTC)
