Talk:Suggestions
Slith has proposed the adoption of a suggestion template, much like that which is used on the Urban Dead wiki. I have taken a little liberty with the design and have modified it slightly to have borders and include the author's name. I propose that this template be worked on for a week and then formally adopted. --Lint 05:21, 24 March 2006 (GMT)
- Well, it's over a week and no one seems to object. I'll be setting up the suggestion pages with example template usage. --Lint 23:10, 5 April 2006 (BST)

Perhaps a little formatting is needed for this page. Where do we append the new suggestions on this page? I've seen them stacked on top and I've seen them placed at the bottom. I've been placing them at the bottom. In theory that gives the users an opportunity to scan the list to see if something similarly listed is already there. --Lint 06:28, 5 March 2006 (GMT)
Also, replies. Should we use the indentations from colons (:) or the bulleted lists (*). I'm sort of leaning towards bulleted lists, but they make it difficult to form multiple paragraphs and require all the replies to be directly one line below the other which is horrible to read when editing. The colons are nice, especially with all the freedom they provide, but it becomes a bit difficult to see who is replying to what. --Lint 06:28, 5 March 2006 (GMT)
Maybe we should break it up into pages by suggestion type, like a skills page, item page, ect. and if people have a big suggestion they could go into a large suggestion page(for suggesting a skill and item).-- Daylan 00:45, 7 March 2006 (GMT)
- I think that we all have slightly different interpretations of what suggestions fall under what sections. It would probably be more straight-forward to just list suggestions chronologically and move the old suggestions to Suggestions/Archives (or something like that) and implemented suggestions to Suggestions/Implemented (or something like that). --Lint 02:18, 7 March 2006 (GMT)
- I think it'd be easier to keep good suggestions on the same page, move implemented ones off to another page and things that are considered by most people to be a bad idea can get pushed to a different page to be ignored, revisited later, or whatever. --Simon 09:38, 7 March 2006 (GMT)
- I can understand the different type of suggestions implied by Items, Skills, and Classes. However, Game Mechanics and Other, I'm no so clear on. Are these two categories really separate? --Lint 17:39, 7 March 2006 (GMT)
- Perhaps just merge Game Mechanics and Other under a single "Other" page. It doesn't seem to be too bad like this, although we probably need an "Implemented" page still for things like Writing. --Simon 17:41, 7 March 2006 (GMT)
- We could still have a good suggestion page, just move the good suggestions after a couple of days and move the bad ones to an archive page.-- Daylan 21:34, 7 March 2006 (GMT)
