Instructions

This is a page for creating and resolving concerns on the topic: "Renaming Discussions."

At the end of the page, there is a "Create New Concern" button, which you can use to voice your concerns or questions about the proposal. You can use the "Refresh This Discussion" button, which allows you to make sure that all changes have been saved.

After 7 days of discussion, the concerns stage will end. All points brought up during that phase will be taken into account and an administrator, assistant, or the proposal's creator can move the discussion to voting, modifying the original proposal with any changes discussed by the community.

You can also add your comments to existing concerns. On the other hand, if you have no concerns, then you just wait for the voting stage.

Have a happy discussion!

Proposal

As some of you may know, Wikia is introducing a new feature called "Discussions" to replace the forum (see here) and we will likely see this feature introduced here in a few months as Wikia makes the transition.

We already have a feature here at ESB called "discussions" in which we discuss and vote on particular ideas and proposals in an official format.

I am looking for everyone to provide suggestions for alternative names for our "official discussions" (like this one here) so when the new feature is introduced, we don't cause confusion.

This discussion will be open until Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 1 p.m., eastern time, unless there is still a lot of activity in giving suggestions. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 16:42, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

Concerns

Created concern: Motions

We could call them "motions" which is a term used by committees and government to discuss and vote on certain matters. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 17:13, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

I like this idea, I second that "motion." :) "For service and devotion" TheOneFootTallBrickWall (talk) 18:16, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

That is excellent word for our discussions. AW10 Talk Contribs E-Mail 21:05,10/11/2016

LOL Brick. Yes, "Motions" sounds very official. --☧ Mortem Christi resurrectionem confitemur, donec venias. ☧ (talk) 21:06, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

Created concern: Petitions

I'd be in favour of calling them "Petitions" like they once were called. AustinD-3 (Message Me Here!)

A petition is more of an appeal before an official discussion and we have already used these for a different purpose. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 23:22, October 11, 2016 (UTC)
