UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Close the Suggestions Section

From The Urban Dead Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

This suggestion proposes the indefinite closure of UDWiki's Suggestions system, leaving it protected as a historical archive. However, Developing Suggestions will remain open for general discussion of suggestions or game mechanics. This policy also allows itself to be rescinded in the event that Kevan does return and update the game in future.

Background

During UDWiki's peak, the suggestions system was a hub of activity. More than 1000 suggestions have been proposed for consideration as of 2019. However, since the modern suggestions system was implemented in 2006, less than 1% of all suggestions ever became implemented suggestions, regardless of whether they were reviewed or rejected. Unfortunately, Kevan rarely implemented suggestion proposed by the community.

In August 2019 it will be 9 years since Urban Dead had an update that wasn't a seasonal flavour change. 10 suggestions have been made in the past 5 years. It seems unlikely that Kevan will ever implement another update, and therefore even more unlikely the suggestions system will ever see any use again.
