AVID:Requests for Comment/Wiki history article

Wiki history article
Should we create a Wikipedia-style article about the wiki and its history?

It can be at AVID:Audiovisual Identity Database or Audiovisual Identity Database -Previously unsigned RFC by Sickminecraft45

Support

 * 1) I guess so. I'd imagine it would go on the former page, as the latter page would probably be any on-screen logos that it would use. Gilby1385 (talk) 11:39, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * , as I could see it serving as a companion piece to the documentary we're producing. Eternity Media Group (talk) 11:54, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) not a bad idea honestly Charlie179 (talk) 12:07, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) Joining this wiki can be nothing short of confusing, and many can be reluctant to properly elaborate on certain figures and events. A hub for information regarding AVID's history would go a long way to making it look less foggy. Chloafifteen (talk) 13:15, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 3) per others. T807sig.png · Talk · Edits 21:24, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Oppose

 * No, because there is a page that was created when the wiki completed 15 years that talks a little about the history of the wiki, any response to my opposition? TPatKB (AKA Mr Vadimon) (this is my talk page) 20:36, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * That article was an archive and it summarizes the events that occurred throughout the wiki's lifespan. What I believe this article will deliver is one that is up to date (in this case, cover recent changes such as the removal of the tiers and Nicknames section) and cover events such as 9/9 in more detail.

 * That is a good starting point, but it would be cool to create something more detailed that deals with more pre-CLG Wiki history as well as recent events such as our migration and the big changes we've made since 9/9. sig.png Talk ·&#32;Edits 01:12, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * per above, that's a very surface level page, and we could absolutely do for a more expansive article. Eternity Media Group (talk) 02:09, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Per the above. When I first saw the 15th anniv article, it gave a general overview, but it's not like it gives you much insight into the true depth of some events, like people leaving over the removal of scare factors or 9/9 (which is simply described as some people being demoted and a following controversy, despite there being so, so much more to it).

 * @Camenati @Hb1290 @Eternity Media Group @Chloafifteen Okay okay OKAY, I get it and it also doesn't take a lot of people to tell me, and no, I'm not acting rude, by the way I had an idea, how about making a second page based on that Wiki 15th anniversary page but putting MORE details?

Comments

 * 1) OOPS! I forgot to sign the RfC! So I'm the one that created it! Sickminecraft45 Signature Icon.jpg   (Talk to Me!) 20:20, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) Anyone particularly interested in this is encouraged to make a draft in their userspace and have others collaborate on it. It could even be a special AVID Project to allow multiple people to work on it with stronger support. This would be the quickest way to get it done I think, and these steps can begin even before RfC closure. --Raidarr (talk) 13:17, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
