Forum:Does anyone actually like this Message Wall thing?

I don't hate it, but if it is mandatory, I will probably lock it and just tell people to use a subpage like User:Fandyllic/talk as a workaround. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 27 Sep 2011 12:08 AM Pacific


 * I'm looking forward to see it, when it's done. If it's implemented properly, without bugs, then I'm all for it. I find that a lot of users have difficulties with wikicode on talk pages, at least on the wikis I edit. They also forget to add post titles, signatures, indent between posts etc.. This feature solves these problems, but again, if implemented properly.


 * I never bought this "Wikia isn't a social networking site" argument. After this statement I have never seen any convincing rationale why Wikia shouldn't import some social networking features, if the features in question can indeed be labeled as "social". Wikia wikis aren't just small Wikipedia's. While on Wikipedia the community is huge and rather anonymous, the subject of Wikipedia covers everything and the site has an encyclopedic profile, this is not the case on most Wikia wikis. On small wikis, fanon and entertainment wikis in particular, communities aren't big and are gathered around one subject. Contributors can follow all the changes on a wiki more easily and find out what other contributors work on and thus encourage more social activity. While I'm a big fan of Wikipedia; it's structure, consistency in layouts and functionalities, I don't believe that Wikia should be going the same way. — Sovq 07:37, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
