Hey everyone! Hope you all are having a blast! Holidays here and there! Exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is simply a huge proposal to the administration team to allow me (and several individuals) to update the forum by making it more user-friendly, more accessible and more organised. The reason behind this is because of the absence of the Blog feature the wiki once had in the past. Since that feature is no longer available to the wiki/community, I am of the opinion that the forum should be restored and updated to something akin to Waypoint's.

With that said, the following are the proposed forum categories:

• Support Requests (for technical requests such as template fixing and what-not. A helpful place to learn wiki-coding)
• General Discussion (self-explanatory)
• Community Proposal (to allow the community to propose policies and what-not).

As always, the Administrators would be the moderators (duh!). We all know that Administrators aren't always around/do not have the time to update the policies, hence why Community Proposal category exist; this allows the community to decide on the general policies (i.e. Manual of Style) that should be changed/added/altered/removed. Of course, administrative policies (i.e. Blocking policy) are not to be discussed unless the policies are disproportionate/necessary to be updated/removed/added.

One major issue that might arise from this forum update is the status of the old forum threads; to put it simply, there's too many old and unneeded forum threads in Halopedia since its creation. I found a way to preserve them without having to delete all of them. :)

So, what do you all think? Yay or nay? — subtank 09:09, 14 December 2011 (EST)

No need for a support/oppose section. We'll just refer to the comments and take them into consideration to improve the forum.

Yay, it sounds like a great way to organize the site more, and make it the best it can possibly be (Especially with the Community Proposal section!) Ιι Ηη Ππ 16:19, 14 December 2011 (EST) Yay.--The All-knowing Sith'ari 17:29, 14 December 2011 (EST)
