UDWiki talk:Open Discussion/Suggestions

I can haz reading comprehension

It really isn't that bad if you read. Granted there is quite a bit to read when starting a new suggestion. That's probably why newbies so often get it wrong. I don't think i'd support a change toj suggestions honestly. Let it be somewhat akward to help weed out the bad ones. ~ _{06:28, 31 July 2011 (UTC)}

Plus, so many of the suggestions retread the same territory over and over again, which is why we need the datestamp as part of the page name. As long as we have that, newbies will always have to follow some instructions that are unusual when they create the page. Very few of them seem to have any trouble with the stuff after that unless they're just completely illiterate. Or, at least that was the case when I stopped paying attention to Suggestions around the start of the year. —Aichon— 07:33, 31 July 2011 (BST)

Read it and you should be fine. start thinking about the future instead of talking about the 'good ol days' and you might be fine. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 07:41, 31 July 2011 (BST)

its thinking about the future that i opened this discussion, to make it easy for newbs to make suggestions. The current suggestion system was useful in the past, when there were many suggestions being made in the same day... today, we barely have 3 active suggestions for a 14-days period --hagnat 15:29, 31 July 2011 (BST)

Meh

The suggestion system is useless anyway, at least today. Users say what they want and not want, and Kevan puts it in, or most likely doesn't put it in, regardless of review status. (Or anything else for that matter.) The only tangible use the community review has is weeding out the completely fubar stuff (spam, dupes, humourous suggestions). Any reform of the suggestions system should first look at what it actually _achieves_ at the end of the day, and then cut away the fat to lead it to that achievement with the least amount of rules and red tape. -- Spiderzed█ 12:15, 31 July 2011 (BST)
