User blog comment:The Awesome Jack/2015-A Year of Innovation UPDATE 1/@comment-4050367-20151028222214

This was much shorter than Sif's, and actually spent time addressing big topics. Thank you Jack.

Blocks: I'm really disappointed but double check. Count users who were blocked not actual blocks, which it sounds like you did but double check. If it's really in 170, than 2015 has been the worst year in terms of blocking since the wiki's founding. My Year of Change blog had an explanation for the blocks, such as "23 users were blocked for Profanity". It'd be interesting to see the reason for the blocks.

Minimum Word Count: This was voted on and agreed upon quite some time ago. I'll make sure the Blogging Policy has this.

Featured Pages: I've officially killed Featured Object. The last voting period for Object will be next month for December. It had potential, but it failed unforunately.

New Logo: Mentioned in previous threads I think. In regard to the new wiki design, I've told Yopo that the design should arrive after the Winter Theme, and should represent "A Brand New BTFF - A Wiki Existing in an Era without Sci100 - A Modern Wiki with Quality Content and Friendly Users".

Project 10,000: I see this and I think back to Project:Best Content. I fear it will suffer the same fate.

Committees (General)': There's six Committees, and the new Community Team will have six new members. So what if each Committee was led by one of the six admins? Perhaps a requirement for admin or chatmodship is that you must be a member of at least one committee.

Gamemakers Committee: I get the purpose of this, but couldn't it combine with Community Committee?

Support Commitee: This would definately be a great idea! This could be like mentors/advice-givers who help new users out or anyone else if they have any questions whether it be for writing, art, or the wiki in general. Members would also host the communtiy support meetings, as well as detailing what happen in such meetings on detailed threads.

Cleanup Committee: I'm worried that this still would struggle. We would need someone who is really passionate about Cleanup. I would suggest Sub and Reo as members. Cleanup Committee needs to coordinate with the Community Team however when making decisions on cleanup.

Innovation Committee: I honestly don't know how how I feel. Good.... potentially? Limiting.... Possibly? I'm not sure. IDK Go more indepth.

Coding Committee: This could be combined with the Support Committee if you're going for the "mentors/advice-givers" aspect.

Broken Redirects: This is the first I'm hearing about this. I would say put redirect pages in Candidates for deletion.

Article Stubs: As Reo mentioned, we're deleting Article stubs.

Wanted Pages: I would say that the best solution is to remove red links. If we did the Cleanup Committee, one of the rules I would suggest is that members must check who created the page and their recent contributions. If they've edited within 30 days, the member must leave a message on their wall with links to the pages that have red links. The user who created them would then have one week to remove them, or else a Committee member would remove them themselves. Yes? No?

Categories: I agree. That's really all I can say.

A to Z: I told the wiki to stop adding A-Z because of the badge farming. I would say that only wiki page makers and Cleanup Committee members can add it.

Home Page: Yes, the home page is overdue for a makeover. Guys, you're gonna have to work with each other on this because I'm horrible at wiki homepages.

Newsletter: The Weekly Posts and the Social Media accounts should hopefully fill this.

Page Creation Portal: We already have admin support (I think). Ulti's supposed to be in charge of working on revising/improving PCP but I don't know if he's done anything recently.

Song Competition/Character Competition: Interesting ideas. But we need to determine the number of users who could do the Song Competition. The Character competition could be interesting as well. My only question is how would this fit in our current schedule for Fanon Con?

All in all, interesting concepts and suggestions Jack. And let's make it not just a Year of Innovation, but a Year of Community as well!
