User blog comment:Dopp/Message Wall Now Available in Labs/@comment-876022-20120129033021

Guess I should be checking back with Central once every day instead of weekly now. I still don't like the feature and intend on making it invisible to me anywhere on Wikia it is enabled.

This feature should stay toggle-able by administrators within WikiFeatures. Whether or not it stays in the Labs portion or otherwise does not concern me as long as it remains an option only. I don't even care for the blogs or article comments, why would I want my home wiki (RuneScape wiki) littered with this when we get a thousand to five thousand edits a day? As of right now, all changes to someone's talk is grouped, how I like to view it. That was where most of my concern for MessageWall has been and will be since this extension is inherently flawed for RecentChanges.

The history of MessageWall is just as atrocious. I'd rather have consistency with every other NS. If the developer's of MessageWall can't take the time to make it allow notifications to anonymous users, you break the entire concept of anti-vandalism. AbuseFilter can only do so much in this regard in relation to "messaging" them.

The only thing going for this at the moment is that it is something that the official Jagex LTD. ran RuneScape Wiki under JAMWiki cannot do. I'd rather not have to turn the RSW into another one of Wikia's SocialEngagement projects or changing the perspective of an ever-updating fansite into a glorified RuneScape Facebook. There is already one of those supported by Jagex LTD. That is my additional two cents into this extension on why it should not ever leave WikiFeatures. 03:30, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
