*'''Remove RTE'''. I found the visual editor so much of a pain that if it wasn't for me finding the option to turn it off I would have boycotted wikia in responce, not that would of made a difference as I realise. - [[User:Tehtumpi|Tehtumpi]] <sup>[[User talk:Tehtumpi|talk to me]]</sup> 16:08, January 10, 2012 (UTC) | |||

:No one is saying that the forums can't be your main contribution. If you just wanna hang out and offer your opinions, you're certainly welcome to. The point I was trying to make was that visual editor cannot be turned off ''by namespace''. It's not possible to turn it off in the main article space, but leave it on here in the forums. I hope that answers your question, but I'm not sure if that's what you were asking. If I haven't answered your question, please do let me know. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">03:25: Thu 05 Jan 2012 </span> | :No one is saying that the forums can't be your main contribution.

::Wow. Okay. I have to be honest and tell you that I didn't know [[tardis:discussion policy]] said that forum posting shouldn't be one's primary contribution to the wiki. I ''really'' didn't know that it threatened ''blocking'' for that editing pattern. Sorry bout that. Yes, if you want to protest that provision — and obviously my earlier post has betrayed the fact that I'd support you — you would need to start a separate forum thread. This thread is about disabling the visual editor, not whether it's right to block people just because the majority of their edits are in the forum namespace. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">03:30: Thu 05 Jan 2012 </span> | ::Wow.

*'''Don't remove RTE'''. I am a total codemonkey for fun and profit but I side with the Wikipedia founders in trying to elevate the population to a code-free lifestyle. | |||
::I chose to make DWExpanded the home for my content because I felt its wiki format and ease of editing make it the winner in the realm of expanded universe DW knowledge bases. I do hear the folks who don't have fan work to share but want a place to join in the fun. I'm certainly at their mercy once they see my amateur films! | |||
I | ::I've felt that the TARDISbuilders knowledge base should really be a wiki instead of a forum, and I feel that a DWExpanded wiki is always going to itch a bit trying to be a hangout. This discussion is excellent user talk, but a forum? | ||
