Lexipedium:Forum

The Lexipedium forum is the discussion point for all topics that concern the wiki, such as the acceptability of sources and policy decisions. On Wikimedia sites, this functionality is served by noticeboard pages, for users who are familiar. Lexipedium uses basic software that configures specific forum namespace pages to function together as a single, mostly seamless forum.

Guidelines

 * Follow proper talk page guidelines.
 * Do not declare old discussions to be "archived." One of the benefits of using the forum instead of noticeboards is that they are not permanently archived.  Declaring forum topics to be "archived" is also over bureaucratic nonsense done by immature sysops who run their wikis into the ground with said bureaucratic policy insanity.
 * Use discretion when bumping topics back to the top of the board. Bumping an unresolved topic when it gets close to the bottom of the front page is acceptable, but not when done constantly to keep it near the top.  If a topic is persistently ignored despite repeated bumping, it should be assumed that users are uninterested and the topic should be allowed to disappear.
 * If you use multiple accounts, be careful when using them on the forum because of policies against vote manipulation by closely associated users.
 * Use common sense and maintain civility.

Forum bans

 * When banning a user, record the ban at /bans along with an expiration when the user should be unbanned.
 * Ban discussions should be handled on the talk page of that page.
 * The forum is used to discuss important policy changes on the wiki, so banning a user on the forum effectively blocks them out of all important discussions.
