User blog comment:Dopp/Technical Update: October 18, 2011/@comment-876022-20111021205618

@Dopp and other staff:

Before I get into that, I think I should clarify what makes the RC look of new threads on the Wall terrible:

m  18:20:23     User talk:Xhanort7‎ (diff | hist). . (+146) . . Urbancowgurl777 (Talk | contribs | block) ( →Runefest hood: new section) [ rollback ]

^ This is talk pages looking like they should.

00:37:19 Pizza Sauce on Dopp's wall‎ (diff | hist). . (+21) . . Ohmyn0 (Wall | contribs) ( reply: "great. now I'm hungry")

^ This, at first glance, appears to be a new article in Mainspace. That is my reason for not wanting this version on any RC on any wiki.

N  00:13:37 Message Wall:Ryan PM (diff | hist). . (+9001) . . RyanBot (Talk | contribs | block) ( →SQL Error: new thread) [ rollback ]

^ This is how it should look. None of this message. Leave the namespace to appear before the username at the beginning rather than starting off the view in RC as the thread title.

You see, I am not fond of the thread_title being the link unlike almost every other item listed in the RC. I could care less about how it works in WA. Also, if Wikia is going to continue with the history link hacks, why not remove those from RC too? Just does the same thing that the link on My tools did, which was redirect the user to the message wall rather than an action execution.

My curiosity is that if it has to go this far, what is keeping Wikia Inc from making all Wikis use article comments and blogs when Wall is just the joining of those two (and then some) to replace another talk space?

This continues to be the thorn in my side when continuing to edit on the RSW (I only tolerate blogs here as a form of communication) to know that we will be restricted to the 660px of content per page and nothing else. No say, no care in how we function versus the rest of Wikia (People on the RSW do not have the same expectations as those of Glee Wiki or Wookieepedia). The content changes every week, sometimes daily or sooner depending on the content, Comments and Wall are just not adequate for what we do with Talk pages right now. I am just not into this whole comments4everything agenda in the SocialEngagement project.
