Forum:Chat

This was covered a long time ago in another forum, but I figured I'd re-address it now that the community is seriously kind of dead...basically, how do you all feel about adding a Special:Chat function to the wiki? I'm not entirely convinced it's a good idea myself, but I thought it'd be a good discussion to have considering the state of community we're in -- I definitely think people are more likely to latch onto wikis with chats, but the inherent problem with that is the idea that they could latch onto the wiki for the chat and not actually become productive editors, which we don't want either. That being said, while writing hard rules (you must have x edits to chat) is stupid and seems totalitarian, general policy could always dictate that you are expected to be an actively contributing user if you're frequenting the chat or something? I'm not really sure, which is pretty much the entire purpose of me writing this forum. If we do decide we want chat, we'll have to draft a policy and all that -- plus, we may want to implement Torus, code written by Monchoman45 for an enhanced wikia chat client that also functions in monobook. I think I'm getting ahead of myself here, though. Thoughts? ~ Minish ( talk ) 01:38, July 26, 2015 (UTC)
