Forum:RCW: Notification Policy

I origonaly had an idea for this, but I think we should all share opinions. Then create and finalize a rule on how to notify so that everyone knows what is going on and isn't left out of important decisions. 08:16, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

One idea, is to use the Community Message. The downfall of this thou is it would notify all visitors as well whom might not care about a forum topic, RFA, RFB, and/or RFR. 08:16, August 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * A template on everyone's talk page that notifies the user to check something. We can then you the community message to say something like "Check your talk pages" - so we don't have random users checking/messaging on the forum? 08:29, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

The shortcut code to policies on this Wiki is "RSC:" not "RCW:" anyways, I think this is a good idea. 14:42, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Alright this seems effective:


 * An opt-in feature where editors can choose to be informed of notifications would work well and I support my own opinion. A person can opt-out any time. The only downfall is that if someone opts-in and they become inactive, their talk page would be spammed, but this would happen anyway. Support. 23:15, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * The template just displays all open forum topics of importance. It doesn't spam and it could be removed to opt out, just you'd be responsible for finding things yourself. 23:17, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Is all the functions clear and accessible to the persons talk page? If so then I support.
 * Live version on my talk page and above. Looks & works just like those. 23:43, August 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I thinks that we should decide on what it ultimately looks like or we get options to stylize it personally in preferences. 06:09, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

 * As long as the community comes to a consensus about the style and colour of the notification. 06:07, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * So long as no one who wants to be included isn't excluded either intentionally or accidentally I have no problem with this. 22:55, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a good idea, I support. 04:30, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
