Forum:Info for Admins and Discussions Mods

This is a heads-up about an experiment FANDOM will soon start in Discussions for some wikis, including this one. This info will be interesting mainly for those of you who moderate in Discussions.

Toward the end of the month, we will start cross-posting Harry-Potter-related editorial (fandom.com) content in Discussions. This is the first step in seeing how we can integrate something Discussions-like into the editorial area -- there might eventually be a "comments" section on those articles, but there are other possibilities too. Seeing how the users in Discussions react and reply (or not) is part of how we'll learn what works.

This will be done in an automated way, so things that you see on http://fandom.wikia.com/topics/harry-potter will get posted in Discussions automatically. They will be attributed to either one of our editors or to the actual author of the article (if it's a FANDOM original).

We have a few special requests, and please pass these on to the other active moderators if they don't read this forum: Please don't edit or delete the posts, because we want to see how users will react to them, and altering them might skew the results.

Most likely, these posts will all appear in "General" by default. From there, you're welcome to re-categorize them, if they fit better into one of the other categories.

Let me know what you think about all of this, if you have questions, concerns, etc.! Mira Laime   (help forum | blog) 23:18, November 9, 2017 (UTC)
