Hello everyone, as I previously stated on ‘My Plans For The Wiki - Part 2’ thread I was planning to try and revive this wiki’s Chat by setting targets for the number of users on Chat each day but I wanted to ask the communities opinion on said suggestion before I actually set any targets however since the community voted in favour of me setting said targets I will do so now.

So, to explain in more detail how this is going to work, I am going to set targets for the number of users that should aiming to be on Chat at once every single day in order to encourage more users to use the wiki’s Chat. After 2 weeks of setting a target I will look back and to see if the community has consistently met said target and if they have I will slightly increase it but if they haven’t I will probably try to encourage the community to meet said target or will consider decreasing the target in order to make it easier for the community to meet it. If all goes well and the target does manage to keep increasing I will keep setting them then until we reach a target of 15 users on Chat at once (which would be possible to encourage considering that we used have 20 or 30 users on Chat at once in the past) and then I will simply try to keep the Chat around said level of activity as long as possible as if the Chat is fairly active it should definitely help in attracting new committed and mature contributors to the wiki.

For now though, we are going to be starting off small with a target of 7 users on Chat at at least one point each day for the next 2 weeks then on Thursday 23rd August depending on how frequently Chat has been used I will either slightly increase the target or consider lowering slightly in order to make it easier for the community to meet it. Equally, if the community finds these threads really annoying after a while please let me know and I can stop making them if necessary.

Big out
