Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-1824169-20170509205458

As part of a new initiative to make the wiki more approachable and user-friendly, the admins have updated some rules and things about BTFF in order to make it more appealing to both new and old users. These changes include:

Main Page/Navbar Revamp
In the off-chance you haven't noticed already, the wiki's navbar and main page have been streamlined to make them easier to use and less hard on the eyes.

Cleanup
Cleanup is going fantastic, and everyone going out of their way to help is great, but without a bot, things can get a little out-of-hand sometimes. Wanting to see what's been happening on the wiki and finding Recent Activity flooded with Cleanup edits can be a real pain. As such, the admins have ruled that cleanup edits should take up no more than half of the Recent Activity page at a time. If there's a massive job that needs to be done, please leave a message about it on the BotBot Bot cleanup list thread, which I will link to when it's up.

Chat
We've lowered the edits needed to use Chaturn from 25 to 15 (10 mainspace, 5 anywhere) and added a link to the official BTFF Discord on the siderail. There are no requirements for joining the Discord other than simply having a Discord account.

Old Threads
Perhaps the change I'm most relieved about not having to deal with anymore, we've removed the rules stating you can't reply to old comments or threads or blogs or whatever. Replies to old comments will be judged on the basis of being spam or not rather than receiving an automatic warning for just replying to something over two weeks old. This is more practical for a less active community like ours and should make things a lot less complicated.
