The forums are a multi-thread discussion space for future editorial and instance-development plans. They are ordinary wiki pages in the Forum: namespace — watchable, searchable, in recent changes.
Boards
| Board | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Forum:Editorial plans | Future editorial plans — content areas, outreach, language coverage, on-wiki conventions |
| Forum:Instance development | Instance dev plans — extensions, namespaces, tools, CI/deploy, infrastructure |
Starting a thread
- Open the board you want to discuss on (see the forum index).
- Type your topic title in the Start a new thread box on the board and click the button.
- Write your post and save. The page is preloaded with the forum header and the board category, so the thread appears in the board's listing.
Replying
You can add a reply below any post/reply, by indenting with one : more than the original content.
Signing
Always sign your posts with ~~~~ so people know who is talking: the system renders it as your name with a timestamp.
House rules
- Stay on topic; be civil.
- Keep discussions on the forums, not on content pages.
- Threads are wiki pages: watch them (star), link them, browse their history.
