Now I know that many of you are against this new feature as you fear that it will make this wiki more like Facebook and not a wiki. My proposal is that we activate the Message Wall extension for a 7 day trial. I would like to see if it in anyway increases the effectiveness User - Sysop interactions on the wiki.
Some of the benefits of using message walls:
- They are auto archived.
- The newest messages appear at the top.
- All posts are in their own section and threaded so that way it is easier to reply.
- You no longer need to keep going back and forth from talk page to talk page as the user receives notification when you reply.
- Conversations are stored in neat threads so that it is easier to track past or present conversations.
- There is no hassle of unsigned messages as each thread is automatically signed and timestamped.
All that I ask is that we at the bare minimum give this feature a trial run and test it out before we criticize it and write it off as terrible.
