Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-5590118-20140921233707

In light of the recent Jeff the Killer issues I have a proposal.

At first I disagreed with the idea of turning it into an encyclopedic article but then I started thinking about what else could be documented. This wiki could become more than a site where terrible OC is stacked to the ceiling but a place where there are stories as well as the history of the genre and individual pastas.

How I think we should go about this is by creating another namespace which will hold the articles as well as a new category system for them. I think it makes sense for us to call that namespace "History" as well as "History talk". Here the encyclopedic articles will remain separated from the other parts of the site.

This project has the potential to increase our active editor crowd as well as our visitor count. With the introduction of the history project more editing opportunities will be opened up giving users an alternative thing to do if editing stories isn't their forte leading to a more involved community.

Please discuss this proposal below and how you think it would be beneficial/detrimental to the site.

This thread will remain open to discussion until Monday, September 29, 2014
