Revision as of 12:23, 2 January 2023

Due to the current lack of a proper forum system, this temporary forum system has been created as a stand-in to allow essential community discussions to take place. This system will be used until the regular system is re-instated by those with the power to do so.

To propose a thread for discussion, add it to the bottom of the table in the proposed threads section below. If you would like an already created thread to be discussed, you can sign your name next to the proposed thread to show support.

To maximise the number of topics and issues that can be discussed in as short a time as possible, there can only be 6 active threads at once, each with a timelimit of 3 weeks. This is to encourage people to focus on a small number of issues rather than try to tackle too much and loose focus. If no consensus has been reached in this time limit, the thread will be closed as unresolved and may be discussed further at a later date. Threads closed as unresolved will be added to the bottom of the proposal table where they must regain signatures to be discussed again. When a current thread is closed, one of the thread with the most support will be selected from the proposal table to be discussed next.[1] A discussion space for it will then be created by an admin in one of the slots listed below.

When proposing threads, bear in mind that they should be actionable within the timelimit and that they should affect a large number of pages. Proposed threads that don't meet these criteria may not be selected for discussion, at least until other threads that do meet these criteria have been discussed.

Current threads

Only 6 threads can be open at once, each with a timelimit of 3 weeks.

Proposed threads

To propose a topic to be discussed, please add it to the bottom of this table. To support a pre-existing proposal, add your name to the "support" column by typing "~~~" (note that this is only 3 "~", not the usual 4, as the date your signature was added is not important).

Archived threads

Main article: Tardis:Temporary forums/Archive

Once consensus has been reached and a thread has been closed, or once a thread has reached the 3 week limit, it will be moved by an admin to a subpage of Tardis:Temporary forums/Archive. An index of archived threads can be found on this page.

Footnotes

  1. In the case of a tie, the thread proposed earliest generally gets priority. This should be the thread higher up in the table as threads are ordered by date added.
