MediaWiki is not blogging software though. Wouldn't an actual blog make more sense for this? Where are people supposed to ask for help now? I don't think a blog post would be the right place for that. Perhaps a separate help desk would be better? Angela (talk) 00:23, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Large numbers of people are familiar with blogs. They may be attracted by an easy to use blog-like feature at wikicities. A wikicities help desk sounds useful. --JWSchmidt 02:39, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Usefulness of this?
I can not see how this "blog" is useful to Wikia. What issues is it trying to resolve? Do you have an example of a wiki that has used this concept successfully? I now find the current layout of the community portal distracting. It looks like a Sandbox. -- JamesTeterenko 10:55, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)
