Kancolle Wiki:Migration Discussion

Dragonjet's Input, June 31st

Here's my own Qs, as well as issues from the first attempt which I can remember. I might have missed some problems from the old days, but people will be sure to point them out. No need for immediate answers if things are still to be discussed by the new wiki team

Comment System

Will there be a comment system per article? How can people give feedback for certain topics

In the case a system will be in place, good. In the case there will be no more comment system: right now, tweets and sometimes CG teasers are posted by the people on the Recent Updates thread on the wiki. How do people proceed on the new wiki, should they edit the main article itself? where do we put discussions, speculations on a certain topic?

Anon Editing

Anon user access rights and write permissions

will anons be able to edit? will anons be able to comment if a comment system is implmented will anons be able to reply on forum threads if a system is implemented do you have any idea in mind on what to use so that all of these pemissions can be adjusted through an admin dashboard or something?

Blogging

Will there be a blogging system for users?,

Is there an alternative to wikia's blogging system? If one is already implemented, how do we use it differently from wikia's? Can other users comment on blog posts. will the comment system be the same on wikia articles that further replies to a specific comment are considered as sub-threads and is a pretty much organized reply system again, what are the differences of wikia blogs vs new wiki blogs? can we be notified of blog replies? something wikia doesn't have

Internal Forum

We we going to have an internal forum on the new wiki?

If yes How will it be different from wikia's? explain the feature here, including replying, quoting if it has, etc. If not Then do we stop talking altogether? or are we going to rely on Himeuta as a discussion center? In case of himeuta merge Will mods from both sides, wikia and himeuta retain their mod status and be merged? What about admin status for both sides? Discuss possibilities of himeuta merge here if it applies

Registration

How is the registration process? Can we use our wikia accounts? will our edit history be carried over? (mine didn't and im still waiting) will our avatars be carried over? will our profiles, which people worked hard for, be carried over? what other things do we need to know in registration? please explain the process Side Note In a way, this post looks like a draft of what the original post should've been. Hopefully this will be discussed in the upcoming MoveAttempt3.0 after these plans are finalized.

Another advice I can give is to post this as an article in the new wiki. Therefore you can just link it to people instead of copy-pasting the whole thing every time you want to explain it to someone somewhere regardless if its on the wiki, on facebook, etc. Something like a Migration Plan article on the new wiki.

Comment System

Gensui Hime: In order to keep pages cleaner and also load faster, direct commenting on an article will be removed. However, this does not mean there will be no way to leave one. Each page has something called a "Talk Page" where people can discuss topics related to that page. For example, Kancolle Wiki has a talk page at Talk:Kancolle Wiki. As for CG updates and the like, what I was thinking of doing was creating a new subpage under the Game Updates page for every new update that comes along. Like this page Game_Updates/2015/May 29th.

Synopsis

• Discussion pages on articles are an effective way to discuss content changes and are in use on smooth-running websites like WP:Wikipedia and numerous independent wikis.
• All updates will have their own subpage in Game Updates.

Anon Editing

Gensui Hime: To ensure protection against spammers and vandalism, anonymous accounts will not be able to edit pages and content. Speaking more on that front, it doesn't take long to actually create an account.

The forums and blogging system is still a work in progress and I will have a definitive answer at a later date.

Editors here can post in the discussion page if they concoct meaningful responses to any of these points.
