Editing Forum:Wikia now has...blogs.

{{Forumheader|Watercooler (Pikipedia)}}

Go [[wikia:User blog:KyleH/Announcing: Blog articles|here]] for more information.

Now, the reason I've created this topic is because I don't like this idea: in my opinion, this, being an encyclopaedia, doesn't need random things that turn it into more and more of a social networking site than a great Pikmin resource.  Wikia has given wikis the choice to opt out of this: we just need to add the wiki [[wikia:Forum:Blog article feature feedback/opt-out|here]].  I'm asking for people to give their opinions, and basically vote on whether we should opt out of this.  Just sign your name where you stand.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

*I think this is actually a good idea, and you can't really have a go at it for being unencylopediac (cannot spell that word) when every talk page on this wiki is littered with people talking about random crap, also your writing this message from a forum, which in essence is about as encyclopediac (still can't spell it) as a blog.

and the wiki also has a chatroom and userpages which are just the same really.--[[User:Semajdraehs|<span style="color:Blue">Semaj</span><span style="color:Red">draehs</span>]]- <span style="color:green"> any replies to my</span> [[User talk:Semajdraehs|<span style="color:Grey">Talk page</span>]] 13:00, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

:Well yeah, that's my point: to add blogs is unnecessary when we already have all that.  If someone wants to write about something personal, userpages (or even userpage subpages) are for that; as for stuff more relating to the wiki, there's the forums, talk pages - and it's not like we need it to convey news; we deleted the current events article a while back because it was so dead.

:And the chat room is for instant chat, which is completely different; and these forums, at least the help desk and Pikipedia watercooler, are about the wiki, whereas blogs would be about Pikmin, or just people, I'm assuming.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

*Excuse me, but what exactly is a blog? {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

:A blog is a place where ppl post about stuff... we could make a news blog run by a special few who can right without this: PIKMANZ 3 iiz commn to wie i wantz blak poikmanz adn pokemanz tat r emenys.  If we do a news blog I nominate Prez and Green. {{User:Crystal_lucario/Sig}}

*Just to point out for those who might not know: A Blog can only be edited by the user that created it and admins.--[[User:Semajdraehs|<span style="color:Blue">Semaj</span><span style="color:Red">draehs</span>]]- <span style="color:green"> any replies to my</span> [[User talk:Semajdraehs|<span style="color:Grey">Talk page</span>]]
