Forum:Questions and Answers

With SC2 out now, there will likely be a lot of people with questions about the game and topics related to it. With that in mind, I wanted to ask the wiki community if you would rather use a StarCraft Answers wiki (similar to Fallout Answers and plenty others) or the forums here on the wiki as a place for people to ask their questions. Each method has its advantages, but in order for the method to be successful, it will need the support of you guys, the active members of the SC wiki community.

If you want an Answers wiki, the Gaming Team can take care of setting it up (custom skin, logo, main page). If you want to use the forums, I would suggest creating and/or renaming separate sections for different uses, such as Wiki Discussion, Game Discussion, Wiki Help, and even more specific sections if you want, like StarCraft II General Discussion, StarCraft II Strategy, StarCraft II Q&A, StarCraft II Mods and Modding, etc.

Once the choice has been made and setup, I would also recommend drawing awareness to it on the wiki, such as a sidebar link, callout on the main page, Sitenotice message. If you decide to use the forums, you could add a 'Latest forum activity' section to the main page (as seen at Borderlands Wiki), to show visitors that you have an active forum which will help increase participation.

I'll be watching this topic to see what you guys decide, and to help out regardless of which method you choose. JoePlay ( talk ) 01:22, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
