This is a problem for a lot of subpage suggestions people have given. Apparently Fandom is working on improvements to the search bar which should let us make certain pages not appear in search results, but that may not be around for a while.Antvasima said:
Just hiding them in search results won't save this idea for the second reason you mentioned, but it could work for similar ideas involving splitting pages or adding subpages.

Sooo what's a rough guesstimate of when the email invites will be sent out? Is it still "unknown?" If so that's fine, just thought I would ask.

Yes, first the conversion process to the XenForo format will take 5-10 days, which I am uncertain what date it started; then the files have to be installed, all settings checked, and me and Promestein have to help verify that there are no oddities in the forums; and there might be a few other tasks as well. And then the invitation email messages will be sent out, likely first to the wiki staff as an initial test that it works properly.

In other words, we should all expect the emails to come around the end of April or the beginning of May at the latest. And this is accounting for any unforeseen mishaps in the conversion process. Though this is a guesstimate on my part, and may very well be wrong.

Sound like we will go to the new forum at the begining of May, huh?

Will we simply see no forum?

Forums will be merged into Discussions, I assume that most links to the forums (which can't be edited by us to redirect to the off-site forums) would be removed by Fandom.

Those are the ones that would be redirected by us. I'm talking about stuff like Special:Forum, an option under the "Explore" dropdown which I don't think can be edited by wiki staff.

I'm glad to know there is more than one Fandom staff who aren't pleased with the decision.

No. After the forum backup files have been converted and installed we have various other preparations tasks to take care of.
For example, I will soon get lists of all the members who do not have a confirmed email address and of all the ones that have completely disallowed emails from Fandom. That makes over 200 members in sum total that I will likely have to contact via their message walls about updating their user settings.

200 members...Antvasima said:
i have been a member since 2015 and even until now, i alway surprise about your devotion to this wiki, despite the fact that you wont get anything from it. You have deepest my respect, Ant. We was able to enjoy this forum is because you and the staffs members work hard on it. Hope the new forum will be at least fun as this. Btw, do we still have the " Forum's recent activities" function ? :v it's hard to track forum's activities without it

@Planck69
No problem.
@MagiSinbad
Well, the work here gives me something meaningful to do, and I hope that I will get a small salary via the new forum, but I do not know yet.
Anyway, according to what I have been told, there are 47 members without a confirmed email, so I will definitely have to contact them, but the 160 members who have entirely disallowed emails from Fandom are a maybe case. It depends on whether or not Fandom can legally send them invitations anyway.

Also, you will be able to see the threads with the latest replies in the various forums in chronological order, much like here or in the Narutoforums, but I do not think that there is anything like the recent changes list here. XenForo is possible to customise a lot though, so maybe we can get one later. However, it is uncertain.
