<p>tl;dr: Strategy pages, should we keep them as is, should we try to salvage them as a concept, or should we just get rid of them completely. Reply below with your opinions. </p><p>Strategy pages have been a contentious subject for many a wiki user over the past couple years, they're one of the few places on the wiki where we host subjective information and opinions rather than just hard, fact based data and to some that isn't the goal of a wiki and as a result those users feel strategy pages should be removed. We've had this discussion before but never really got anything out of it but we're here today to try and settle this years long debate. </p><p>I'm personally of the opinion they should be removed and that a wiki is not the place for things like build/gameplay suggestions, there are plenty of other sites out there if a user wants that kind of information. I suggest moving the official riot information like recommended items to a different tab and just either archiving the strategy pages or deleting them all. </p>

<p>Pretty simple, what are some of your favorite skins that have been released this year? Reasons why are always nice but not necessary. </p><p>
</p><p>I'll start off with Beemo, one of the cutest skins ever, like come on, the little honey and buzzing sounds are so adorable even if they're on the embodiment of Satan himself. </p><p>
</p><p>Another skin that really stood out to me was a combo, the Solar/Lunar Eclipse Leona skins, even if I would've preferred they did something with Diana and Leona together the quality of the skins, the concept, and the voice over hit all the right spots for me. The little transcendence thing that happens after you ult is so cool. </p>

<p>So, some of you may be aware that there are currently 3 "moderator" ranks. These are Content Moderator, Thread Moderator, and our own custom Moderator rank. Content mod and Thread mod are fairly recent additions by Wikia that are pretty similar to our own existing rank with some slight differences. You can view the full specifics of each rank by looking at Special:ListGroupRights but basically: </p><p>Content Moderator: </p>

• Delete pages
• Protect pages
• Undelete pages
• Rollback
• Move files

<p>Thread Moderator: </p>

• Delete/Edit/Move comments
• Chatmod
• Forum admin

<p>Moderator: </p>

• Block users
• Delete pages
• Move files
• Rollback
• Delete/Edit/Move comments
• Blog edit/move
• Roundabout chat moderation by being able to add/remove banned from chat to user permissions

<p>My proposed change is to go back to just using our own moderator rank but to add to its permissions chatmod, forum admin, and page protection. The only iffy right is undelete and I think that one should stick with admins+ due to the sheer amount of destruction that it combined with other commands can cause (ask User:TehAnonymous why no comments from before July 2011 exist on Vayne's page). </p><p>So, uh, leave your opinions on the matter below and whether or not you support my proposal. </p>

<p>Link to the nomination can be found here. Please be respectful and follow our discussion policies and make sure to sign your posts with ~~~~. I'll also allow discussion here regarding his nomination, since our longstanding policy has been about quality of support and votes over quantity. </p><p>

<p>So, the original thread (which can be found here) went a little crazy but gave important feedback in that there are some serious concerns, doubts, questions, feedback, etc. regarding the project beyond whether or not it should be added to the wiki. Subjective information vs objective information, what exactly does slow and cumbersome really mean, am I really being condescending, and other such tribulations were brought up, enough so that I feel as though the project needs a more in-depth discussion that tackles more than just "can we slap this on the wiki." </p><p>You can read about the proposed project either in the previous thread that I linked earlier in this post or at KHO's blog (User blog:Kind-Hearted-One/Champion Descriptions: Let's do this. General idea is the addition of short, fanmade champion bios made from objective™ information to give readers an idea of the champion's overall playstyle/fantasy. Currently the idea from KHO and crew is that these bios would be found on the main champion page and act as something more focused on helping newer players understand the champions better than they would be able to by just looking at the the independent skills. </p><p>My opinion on the matter, as I posted in the last thread, is that this kind of thing doesn't really fit on the main page (in terms of the direction we've taken the page over the years) and would instead fit better on the strategy pages, where somewhat subjective information can be placed more freely and where different "bios" could be placed depending on role/build if needed (like damage lee being about using his mobility to get to the enemy back line and quickly take out a squishy whereas tank lee is about using his mobility to get in range of his area of effect crowd control to set up kills for his allies). </p><p>I will state this now: this is a discussion about the project so keep your posts relevant to the project at hand and in accordance with our discussion policies (no attacking other users, no flamebaiting, etc). If you are seen to be disruptive to the discussion I will delete your posts and bar you from contributing further. I'm keeping the other thread open for now so that any long-burning flames can be settled there instead of transferring over here. </p>
