Forum:Integration of Special:Community

Hello everyone. I would like to propose the integration of Special:Community with Portal:Community. For those who don't know, Special:Community is a fairly new feature of Fandom that is meant to act as a standard Community Portal. Here is a list of features that it offers compared to the existing Portal.


 * All admins and moderators on the right of the screen for easy contact by users.
 * Top contributors are listed on the right which could be useful in recognizing users.
 * New users are listed for easy tracking
 * Special:Community is already listed by default in the "Explore" tab of the Navigation Bar. This creates redundancy with having another Community Portal Link in the Nav bar.
 * Special Pages are listed to inform users of pages that are flagged from being too short, lacking categories or links, etc. An update is being worked on to add more special pages to this list. While all of these are listed in the Admin Dashboard, regular users normally are unaware of these pages and do not know to search for them.
 * Lastly, the "From the Community" section at the bottom would allow the existing Portal:Community to be copied into "MediaWiki:Community-to-do-list". In other words, there would be no need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to the Community Portal.

Now the question is, what does the COD Wiki Community think of this change? --awyman13 https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/e/e5/FandomStaff.png (Talk /Work ) 02:08, August 2, 2019 (UTC)
