Hey, so we're back finally. Think there's a few policies that were made in early wiki history that worked as we were winding down, but with a return, we may need to update.

The Anon-Ban made some policies obsolete, and may have secondary issues. As now all users have a user-page, profile picture, so some control may be needed to ensure a comfortable environment.

We also have had plenty of changes to Wikia or Fandom, itself. Talk Pages for users for instance are still referenced in some policies.

It may be worth investing a little into the social side of the wiki as well, the update from IRC makes it a lot easier for users to chat, and that activity is definitely helpful. So chat rules that allow for more social, but still constrained to some extent, would be for the best in my opinion.

With all the S3 Predictions we're likely to get, it may be worth relaxing the fanon policy so that there's a place here people can talk about it as exposure and activity will definitely help the Wiki's revival, but we should definitely centralise it. Regulus₂₂ 04:04, November 9, 2016 (UTC)

I'm down with everything you've said, except for the fanon. We don't need fanon to help "revive" the Wiki. New episodes will do that and give us plenty of work to do and things to clean up. We don't need fanon to add to the pile. We have a sister wiki for that.

Also, fanon and predictions are different things. While crack pot theories and speculation are (mostly) fun, reading about all the things people want see gets old really quick: Red Hood, Starfire and Wally. So, I say we ban all "this is what I want to see" post. ― Thailog 13:30, November 9, 2016 (UTC)

Oh, snap. I said what I wanted to see on the season 3 blog, I'm such a hypocrite. But the one thing I get tired of seeing is what people want. What Jigsaw Billy said about the Darkseid, Apokolips, and the Light are okay, but going beyond is just goes too far out. I think we should have a similar to approach to Ask Greg, where he only answers (within reason) questions to things we've seen on-screen, because anything outside of that is a spoiler, so we should only question things that we've seen so far. You may want to define that if you wish. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible (talk) 15:33, November 9, 2016 (UTC)
