AVID:Requests for Comment/Give the wiki mascots

Recently a few members of the wiki (me included) have made mascot concepts for the wiki: Ace, Vivi and... Jeff the Tree Frog. However, despite being popular, none of these mascots are official yet. I was thinking of having them be official mascots for the wiki and implemented across certain parts of the site.

 * 2) though I'd also appreciate giving pics of them to let others know what they look like. But they're all very good characters who can represent us well. T807sig.png · Talk · Edits 01:40, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Another thing: I brought up an idea on the Discord that there could be short skits uploaded on our YouTube channel that follow Ace, Vivi, and Jeff's wacky antics. Call it "AVIDventures", perhaps? T807sig.png · Talk · Edits 02:26, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) on the entire face of the planet. Jeff The Tree Frog, one of my four favorite words. Anyways, as I am the one who possibly started this idea, I feel the wiki should have a mascot as it would give us a lot of personality and stand out from the boring crowd like Logopedia. On the other hand, I am coming up with more AVID mascot concepts that are more about the wiki and it's branding rather than our little froggy inside joke.

 * 5) The potential is there for these to gain somewhat of a Wikimedia sister (link) level of reputation if at least unofficially implemented, and I support that. As for actual purposes, it makes little practical sense for all three to be used simultaneously, the average user might get confused. Ace alone is perfect for those purposes, while Vivi and Jeff are fine to be sidelined. PM pinter (talk) 02:52, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 6) i love em, this gives us a new face for the wiki as a whole, hope this gets past voting because id love to draw em, even when it dont ill still do it. User talk:KinnardASDF User:KinnardASDF 08:53, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I don't understand the need for mascots. We were fine without them to begin with. IAmThe789Guy (talk) 01:57, 26 December 2022 (UTC) IAmThe789Guy
 * 2)  They add absolutely nothing to the wiki. I'm so glad that I'm not the only who actually realises this. Eternity Media Group Wordmark.png (name change coming soon) 02:28, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) Of course I know what they look like already, but can you send images so others will at the very least know what they look like? Compooper (talk) 01:29, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) For people who want to know what these mascots look like, here are some pictures of the ones mentioned: Ace, Vivi, and Jeff the Tree Frog. Camenati (talk) 01:52, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
