MediaWiki talk:Forum-policies-and-faq

Topics
I think the section on topics needs to clarify that a topic cannot be arbitrary and must be the name of a page. I'm not sure if the page must be in the main namespace, or in a content namespace. I know "User:452", "Special:Forum" and "Help:Forums" don't work as topics. I had assumed that the Help namespace as a content namespace here. -452 18:33, December 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * At the moment only main namespace pages can be used as topics (for all of Wikia). There are plans to expand that to other namespaces, including Help, in the new year.  However, even sooner we might try something else for Central that's somewhat unique, so more to come on this subject.  The policies will be updated accordingly for more clarity at that time.
