Wikia Policy > Yes, I agree. We need a better rules page. > There's a process known as "mitigation and adaptation". We can't mitigate the problem, i.e. we can't stop the creation of sockpuppet accounts. However, we can adapt the wikia to deal with sockpuppet account more efficiently. For example, getting moderators who are online when others are not. > To be quite honest, making a page about how serious the Wikia is wouldn't really do anything. It would have no real impact of the flow of sockpuppets, and it would do nothing to help us catch them before they do any real damage to the Wikia. Games > Firstly, we already have map games in forums. However, those map games are more suited to "free-for-all-anyone-can-do-anything" type games, like Mappers In the Wild. >Secondly, I'm aiming to push the community out of Forums and into Discussions as soon as possible. We need to keep up to date with the Wikia, and we've already seen a lot of changes which we haven't fully dealt with. > I think "favourite user" sounds more like a popularity contest than anything, and I don't think that projects a healthy image of our Wikia. However, I have suggested things like "Editor of the Month" before, and perhaps it would be beneficial to implement that, along with an "Article of the Month". > We shouldn't focus on Official Nations, because that isn't really the type of stuff we should be celebrating. > Again, "Best Flag" doesn't really sound like a great idea. > However, I do have an idea for YouTube channels, which is a seasonal Oscars competition. I know we already have an Oscars here, but that is yearly and does not hold much significance. We should reboot it, make it seasonal, and advertise it a lot more across the Mapping Community. Often events such as these don't get very far through the ooze of memes and inferior drama within the greater community. Memes > We do have FuNations, which should probably count for something. But that's about it. I don't think we really need any more "fun" because that could branch out into chaotic and anarchical-type behaviour Discord > We already have the "Mappers Chat Discord Server" and the "The Mapping Community Discord Server". That's should be enough. Friendly Wikias > We already have many non-English TFOE Wikias, and restoring relations with the Polandball Community or the AltHist Community will be much harder than you think.
