Forum talk:Temporary forums

Space for comments?
Is it possible or something we want to do to have a space for comments on proposed threads? Many of these I think are fantastic ideas that I'm not sure we can discuss in 3 weeks, or in a few instances I think a different user should write the opening post due to their particular work on the topic. I'm just not sure a simple up/down system is the best way to approach this. Najawin ☎  04:14, 3 January 2023 (UTC)


 * My concern is that I don't want the proposal system to become a means of debate. The stuff you're proposing to discuss seems fine but I feel that this could easily spiral into debate about the actual substance of the proposal. One idea I have been thinking about, though, and that could act as a solution for your idea, is something like Tardis:Community discussions which would act like a communal talk page. It could be used to discuss smaller, non-policy affecting things. This could include, for example, the design of a new (and uncontroversial) template, discussion of how best to tackle coverage of a new release, or discussions related to thread proposals like you propose (as long as these discussions do not end up about the substance of the proposal). Thoughts? Bongo50   ☎  09:20, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You're quite right, and it's a worry I had. I'm not sure how to resolve it, except to appeal to everyone's better nature. (lol) T:Cd sounds like a natural part of the old forum system, and hopefully we won't need to get it up and running, since this is just a temporary measure. :> Maybe wait a week? Or we could encourage everyone to move over to discussions and use that? It's woefully underutilized. Najawin ☎  14:29, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
