Part one can be found on this forum also, so if you haven't read that, read that.
Anyways, I had some ideas on how to revive the wiki and it would be better if it was on the beginnign of a thread, rather than a reply. So, please read below.
Tweaking the Get Started Guide
I feel that we should introduce a tabber system for the GSS, so it would be more accessible to new users. No one likes to read the long and hard stuff, so a tab system will make the reading experience easier. Here is a visual example if you don't picture the idea yet:
blah
blah
blah
Character/User Inactivity
We have a lot of inactive characters with users who forget about them or usrs who just leave. So I say we implement this policy:
If the user has not been active for a month, then we mark all of their characters using the Moved2 template. If the user is fairly active for the past motnh but the character hasn't, we give the user six weeks without roleplaying the character without marking them as Moved2.
Locations/Events
Location Creation Process
We should approve locations like we do events, kudos to see how many users approve. A location is no use if only one user likes it.
Locations we DO NOT NEED/NEED to have
Important to Have:
- A new private/public high school because not everyone in a city is going to focus onto two schools
- A new college for the same reason
Not Important to Have:
- Ocean Coast Academy. sorry guys, but no one really makes OCs for there, even when it was known.
- Houses, especially if the OCs are inactive
MySocial/Texting
We should just delete both because no one's using them. Texting is often mixed into RPing, so that could get confusing. We could always use the word bubbles, just say //bob texts blah// and then the bubble. On the texting board, we could say that the board is not logner in use and all texting should me at the RP board. For MySocial, no one is usign them, we should just delete the pages.
Changing the Character Form
It should really be this imo:
Name:
Face Claim:
Gender:
Age/Birthday:
Personality: (at least four qualities, not just nice and smart)
Occupation(s):
Brief History:(one or two sentences should suffice. Show that you know your character)
Talent (only if attending CAC or LASA):
Education (optional):
Portrayer:
Other/Coding
- We should change the approve/claim forms so that they have a preload for sorts for users to make pages.
- The main page colors hurt my eyes.
- Someone that is not me should handle featured items.
- I had something else but I forgot it so yeah.
- No more mature templates, because half the pages they're put on are not the least bit mature and they're unneeded.
