Forum:Community non-staff user blogs

There have been some pretty good non-Staff user blogs posted lately, but there are also alot of randome and not so good ones. Should community central have some way to list the best of non-Staff user blogs?

I'm not sure how you would do this, but just posting a link in the forum seems like not the best answer. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 3 Apr 2011 1:04 PM Pacific


 * I like that idea. It would be nice to have a feed for helpful user blogs similar to the feed for staff blogs. The only problem is who picks what blogs are useful.


 * They could bring back voting. Or, just have some staff person do it. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 4 Apr 2011 7:56 AM Pacific


 * Both valid solutions, but both require staff help. Or help from Charitwo. Tagged Staff needed.

Wikia Says Yes!
Hi! The Community Team thinks this is a great idea, and I'd love to help. To showcase these posts, we'll create a special category for them, and then add that category to the main navigation in Community Central. The only remaining question is: how do we determine them? Popular voting? Nomination? Discussion? An elected council's decision? Some combination of the above? Something else entirely?

Also consider how many should be selected per week, and what should be the criteria for selection?

I think you guys should discuss this and then tell me what you recommend. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:49, April 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think the best solution would be for a popular vote to take place. If there is general consensus, it is sent to staff for final say and then placed on the main page. Should be simple enough--
 * Sounds good to me. Question is, who would nominate them and where would we discuss which blogs should be put up?

(unindent) Hey guys, looks like this conversation trailed off. If you'd like it to happen, just let me know what you think the right plan is. It's up to you. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:08, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
