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)

New Thread?
Isn't it about time at least one of the four vacant slots for threads be opened up? There has not been much activity on the Subpages thread in the last 48 hours and The Master Split is pretty much in near unanimous agreement, just waiting for any dissenting voice to crop up.
