Board Thread:Wiki Management/@comment-27150398-20180720132610

Hello everyone. This thread is the second of two threads that describe my plans for the wiki as it’s new Head Bureaucrat, if you have not checked out the previous thread I recommend doing so as it explains how we got to where the wiki is now, covers some important issues, conveys how I will intend to run the site and what I will be expecting of the community during my time as it’s leader. Now, to explain exactly how this thread is going to work I’m going to be listing some suggestions I have for the wiki down below and I will also be setting up polls for some of the more major suggestions however said polls will be placed at bottom of the list of suggestions to avoid the thread looking really all over the place. With that out of the way, let’s have a look at said suggestions!

1. Increase the popularity of Chat - In the past the Chat used to be the wiki’s main hangout place and was particularly popular and I think this popularity allowed the wiki to grow and expand significantly in previous years. While I realise that a lot of community members like using Discord, as Chat is meant to be the wiki’s public hangout place I think we should make an effort to increase the number of users using Chat in order to encourage more users to get involved with and join the community. However, as simply suggesting that users use chat more often didn’t do much to increase it’s popularity I have another idea. I was thinking that I could set targets for the number of users we should aim to have on chat at at least one point every day and gradually increase said target (depending on how popular chat is) until we reach a reasonable target (ex. 15 users on Chat at at least one point every day) and then encourage the community to maintain this level of popularity as long as possible, however I would prefer not to do so without first consulting you about the suggestion first.

2. Make Blog Posts popular again - As I’ve previously mentioned, blog posts used to be particularly popular on the wiki and would recieve a decent amount of comments however after the emergence of the public DBFW Discord server and the departure of some of the wiki’s key contributors their popularity gradually decreased and they haven’t been able to recover their former popularity since then, however I intend to change that. To help encourage the community to make more blog posts and comment on them Nk has agreed to allow me to post a link to his blog on his series finale, Pan VS Supergirl.

WORK IN PROGRESS: If you happen to read this thread before I highlight it, I would prefer if you DIDN’T comment on it as I have not yet finished working on it. Thank you.
