AVID:Requests for Comment/Special Implementations

Online and Offline Implementation
This is to determine if the user is active or not. So, I thought it would be a good idea if we implement the Online and Offline customization, inspired by Discord. TPatKB (AKA Mr Vadimon) (this is my talk page) 18:40, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Remove Moderation Queue in User Report and Talk Page
This appeared to be an issue to me. While it's possible in creating and editing pages, it becomes problematic when it comes to generating reports and setting up a Talk page. It's a real PROBLEM, as you can't create a report or even a Talk Page. Imagine facing a permanent ban, even though you submit an appeal. However, the moderation queue message appears, subjecting you to an indefinite wait until you lose all patience. Don't you think it's a good idea to eliminate the moderation queue for these twos? If you decline, okay.

 * 1)  as I'm not sure if this is possible with the moderation extension. Eternity Media Group (talk) 00:07, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) despite my comment below, given we've had issues with LTAs vandalizing the user reports page when they've been caught before. User talk pages are where appeals take place and Moderation is already disabled there. sig.png Talk ·&#32;Edits 01:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

That is in fact possible, I already have Moderation disabled for User Pages. You do it in the namespace settings. Talk ·&#32;Edits 01:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I tested to see if it was true, but even so, the message that is the moderation queue appears, and now? TPatKB (AKA Mr Vadimon) (this is my talk page) 00:35, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Put the "Reply" option back
After the Wiki migration, the "Reply" option vanished, leading to the need for manual editing to respond. This can be inconvenient for those who, like me, prefer the "Reply" option than editing. It's unclear why this option hasn't been reinstated, but it's crucial for this option to be restored. TPatKB (AKA Mr Vadimon) (this is my talk page) 18:40, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

This seems to be a technical issue on WF's end. Pinging as he may have more valuable input here. Talk ·&#32;Edits 01:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * It is indeed a bug, if a phorge task exists then we've done all we can do otherwise a task should be made for it. It might be better to poke Agent over discord on this given CA tends to be extremely busy and rarely appears on the wiki in person. --Raidarr (talk) 09:22, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Put the WikiForge image from below
During the migration, one would naturally expect the WikiForge image to be displayed alongside the MediaWiki and licensing images. However, this isn't the case, and the WikiForge image is absent. This could lead newcomers to believe there's a bug since that the Miraheze image is missing (although we are on WikiForge). To address this, why not consider including the WikiForge image as well?

Oppose

 * 1)  even if it were possible. One of the stated benefits of WikiForge is not having "hosted by" branding on the wiki. sig.png Talk ·&#32;Edits 01:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

 * 1) As mentioned above this is not a bug. If anything AVID could very well have its own branding. That would be interesting to consider but low priority to implement. --Raidarr (talk) 09:22, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
