Forum:Admin discussion

Hello, community members. , a tech support member of the wiki, recently suggested technical ideas for the wiki: What do you all think? I will need input from each admin before any changes are made, and all editors are welcome to voice their opinions. Personally, I am in support of upgrading to version 1.34 (provided that we keep the Recent Changes how they currently are), Google Rich Cards, the Echo extension, and Help:Contents. I am unsure about Trello as I do not feel we will have much use for it, and I am not sure about the advantages of Lua templates (Alex answered that he does not personally use this option). Arthur Wiki currently does not have a Discord server, but this idea has been brought up a few times and I think it may be worth thinking about. Scrooge200 (talk) 05:19, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The wiki is currently at version 1.31. Would you guys like it updated to 1.33 or 1.34?
 * Trello card system for keeping track of what needs done (it will be grouped with our own list).
 * Templates being replaced with Lua coding: https://www.lua.org/
 * Help:Contents page or something similar. (He stated that this one is required.)
 * Discord notifications, if you have a Discord to send them to.
 * Echo extension, for notifications like your edit being undone, sending thanks, etc.: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Echo (for example, this system exists on Inkipedia).
 * Google Rich Cards (those box results that show in Google when you search for something)
 * I still feel out of place with Discord, but I support this and and what you think is best, Scrooge. TheAtomicLight (talk) 16:21, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * To sum up, here are my thoughts:

 * Question: The wiki is currently at version 1.31. Would you guys like it updated to 1.33 or 1.34?
 * Answer: 1.33. Arthur Wiki on FANDOM will also be going to this version in the near future as part of the UCP changes.
 * Suggestion: Trello card system for keeping track of what needs done (it will be grouped with our own list).
 * Answer: No. I have enough on my plate as it is.
 * Suggestion: Templates being replaced with Lua coding: https://www.lua.org/.
 * Answer: Why would you replace templates? Templates are great! One of the other FANDOM wikis I work on, Big Idea Wiki, makes strong use of Templates, and I've been thinking of adding new Templates to Arthur Wiki on FANDOM in the future.
 * Suggestion: Help:Contents page or something similar. (He stated that this one is required.)
 * Answer: Yes. This is a good idea.
 * Suggestion: Discord notifications, if you have a Discord to send them to.
 * Answer: Strong No. Discord is terrible.
 * Suggestion: Echo extension, for notifications like your edit being undone, sending thanks, etc.: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Echo (for example, this system exists on Inkipedia).
 * Answer: Not sure about this.
 * Suggestion: Google Rich Cards (those box results that show in Google when you search for something)
 * Answer: Again, not sure about this.

Youngwii's thoughts: Not really sure about the rest. Youngwii (talk) 15:31, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Question: The wiki is currently at version 1.31. Would you guys like it updated to 1.33 or 1.34?
 * Answer: I would like to see this wiki updated to 1.34, along with enabling the MediaWiki Vector skin (at least as an option for registered users).
 * Suggestion: Templates being replaced with Lua coding: https://www.lua.org/.
 * Answer: Strong no; templates allow for easier standardization of formatting (such as character and episode infoboxes).
 * Suggestion: Discord notifications, if you have a Discord to send them to.
 * Answer: Yes. I enjoy using Discord as a personal communication platform, and would love that as an alternative forum for matters related to the Arthur Wiki.
