Forum:Chat room.

I noticed a couple months ago we were trying that new chat feature for like a day and it went away. Checking out other wikis who have implemented it, it seems to be a successful idea. Basically, do you think its possible for us to have a chat room feature and do you think we should?Umishiru (talk) 03:18, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to see one. Here's hoping the Admins do as well. Skitts (talk) 03:20, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Personally I don't want a chat because I think it would just become a playground for trolls (especially seeing how the wiki pages/talk pages have them all the time). Joshbl56 03:26, November 14, 2011 (UTC)

Any more opinions?Umishiru (talk) 00:03, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

I'm against anything that detracts from the purpose of this wiki, which is to provide information. Like Joshbl56 said, anything that is purely social is like inviting trolls in. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:17, November 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree with Omnibender. --Ilnarutoanime -NejiLoverr- 19:01, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

I am not from this wiki, but i am from Dragonball wikia.There, we have a succesfully monitored chat.Trolls are apart of the internet they will get on and try to terrorize anything you have, having a chat won't stop that.Add Chat for a month see how it works,besides i think this wiki is kinda boring for a troll i'm not trying to insult but there isnt much community activity here you just edit your articles,thats iit for the most part.IronDBZ (talk) 03:44, December 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's kind of what the whole point of allowing us to edit the wiki. This isn't something like facebook where we need to add a chat so that more people will come. We are all here to help edit the wiki. Also, look at some peoples talk pages. It's almost like a forum sometimes. Joshbl56  03:57, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

A??
ther are no trolls on the one piece chat but dosent mean they dont exist besides ther are alot of people that can ban so trolls basically fail but i still havnt cum across one still dragon balls boy has a point--Naruto12354 (talk) 22:46, October 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * It leads to an unneccessary diversion from editing and serves no purpose; atleast here on Narutopedia—


 * Actually I was on the One Piece chat yesterday just to see why it was a thing. The people were using it to discuss adding new images and replacing low quality ones and possible edits and what could be changed. After seeing this, I think it's worth adding.

 * I don't see why there needs to be a big deal about trying to make a community here. The whole point of a wiki is that the community is what builds it. Many people here appear to be against it for some reason, which kinda defeats having a wiki as it's not a community building it. I personally would like to see a chat room here, it would make the wiki far more exciting that we can chat about other things and have a real time message box to chat to people quickly like someone saying "there's a mass vandal, block plz", admin comes on, blocks and reverts then posts "reverted and blocked". Makes for quicker elimination of vandalism, spam and trolls. Like someone said, there are trolls everywhere on the internet, you can't get rid of them and there's no point trying to get rid of them. As long as it's well moderated, it will work. --Speysider Talk Page 16:38, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

The OP wiki is different from us. Decisions made on chat generally donot have a strong consensus as people from different local times edit here and so not all would get a chance to voice their opinions. Also if an admin is around, why would someone need to poke him? Can't he see the vandalism on the RC O.o?—

"Decisions made on chat generally donot have a strong consensus as people from different local times edit here and so not all would get a chance to voice their opinions" Holds no water because every single wiki is like this. >_> "Also if an admin is around, why would someone need to poke him? Can't he see the vandalism on the RC O.o?" The vandalism could be hidden by other edits ? This is a really poor excuse being made for not having a chatroom. It won't do the wiki harm and as long as there's many people who can moderate it, it'll be fine. I can't see why we all need to go up in arms over a really simple suggestion like this. It's like you guys don't want a community but a rigid with no fun features to keep people occupied when they aren't editing. I can assure you that this would be a much better wiki if there was a real community aspect but half the editors here don't want such an aspect. >_> --Speysider Talk Page 16:56, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

I don't get it. If people don't want a community, they just don't have to be apart of it. It isn't like people will just go around the talk pages for big jobs. And MOST edits normally aren't big things. Like updating a picture to one of higher quality, correcting grammar, changing wording. They were discussing things like that on the OP Wiki Chat and it seemed to benefit them. If it will help the quality of the wiki in the slightest and help grow the number of editors, I'm all for it. But again, even IF there were trolls joining it they could be banned easily. Skarrj (talk) 18:34, November 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * If memory serves me correctly, we actually do have a chatroom. Where it is and how we get to it however, I haven't a clue.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 19:42, November 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Special:Chat is where it should be but only an error page appears so there's no chatroom. --Speysider Talk Page 19:48, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

I think TU3 is talking about our IRC channel.—
