Forum:Possible Additions to the Wiki

Hi everyone, as I hope you've noticed there have been a couple of changes to the Wiki recently. Namely, these are the addition of a Logo, Background and a revamp of the Main Page (thanks to the Wikia Content Team). There are also some changes, however, which I wish to get the view of this Wiki's community before I chose whether or not to put them into effect, as I don't wish to be viewed as some sort of "Baron Admin" who just adds things when the general consensus of the community is that they don't want them on here.

Getting back on topic, the changes I would like you to comment on are the addition of the "Achievements", "Category Exhibition" and possibly the "Chat" functions. For those who are unaware of what these functions do here is a basic description of the functions (all courtesy of Wikia Labs):

Function 1: Chat: Instantaneously communicate with other people who love your wiki and your wiki's topic as much as you do! Anyone with a Wikia account can join chat via the "Join the Chat" button in the right navigational area of your site.

Function 2: Achievements: Achievements will help your wiki to grow by incentivizing editors to contribute a variety of content. You can create your own challenges that are unique to your wiki, and even upload your own images for the badges.*

Function 3: Category Exhibition: The most popular eight pages in your categories are already displayed as images, but this feature will list all of your pages as image links sortable by name, recency, or popularity!

If you wish for a visual representation of what these functions actually look like on a Wiki, please feel free to ask and I'll add links to other Wikis with a least one of these functions already active.

So to wrap up, I hope you like the new changes to the Wiki and please remember to comment whether or not you wish to have the functions mentioned/described above added to this Wiki. You may also mention your opinion on the new aesthetics of the Wiki, but please don't make that the main part of your post. --Trivi-AM (talk) 19:42, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

* Please note that the addition of images and new badges will be available to admins only.

Do you we think should add a comment system to articles. The Blue Blunder 02:17, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Personally I don't think we should add the comment system, mostly because it disables the Talk Pages of articles so it would become difficult to discuss the improvement of articles if it was added, also it would be rather underused given the Wikis current small community. Of course I am willing to overlook my personal objection if enough people say otherwise. --Trivi-AM (talk) 11:55, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
