Just for clarity: I'm in favour of allowing non-english in just one thread per language and without a special subforum.This is my best assessment of everyone's views so far.
Agree - Mr._Bambu, Crabwhale, Planck69, Damage3245, Deagonx
Disagree - Ogurtsow, Duedate8898
Neutral/Mixed - Antvasima, DDM, LordGriffin1000, KLOL506, DontTalkDT, Just_a_Random_Butler
Apologies if I did not accurately characterize someone's views, if you want me to change where you are just let me know. There were a couple cases where it was tough to say where exactly they landed so I put them in Neutral until it's clearer.

I said the same thing in my most recent post in this thread.Just for clarity: I'm in favour of allowing non-english in just one thread per language and without a special subforum.
I thought you were African-American?
I am cognizant that the inclusion of a sub-forum may not be germane to the present state of the wiki. Nonetheless, I opine that the establishment of said sub-forum would likely engender an influx of new visitors, stimulate chat activity, and yield numerous other achievements, surpassing the efficacy of a solitary tag that is seldom utilized by the majority of users.If it's just 1 thread per language, then that would be a subforum for very few threads, all of which have no relevance on anything. (As anything important definitely needs to be in English)
Feel like one could safely shove those into general discussion / Fun & Games and make them traceable with a tag.
Love you too, Dread.He is not. This is misconception, he does not even look like American, he is more handsome and European.
May someone be kind and ping the relevant staff members?Agree - Mr._Bambu, Crabwhale, Planck69, Damage3245, Deagonx

Okay with single thread, not sub-forum: DontTalkDT, Dereck03
Well, I said my preferred solution before, but I'm ok if we do it like that, too.@Mr._Bambu @Crabwhale @Planck69 @Damage3245 @Deagonx @DarkDragonMedeus @LordGriffin1000 @KLOL506 @Just_a_Random_Butler @DontTalkDT @Dereck03 @Ogurtsow @Duedate8898
Does this seem fine to you?
I am personally fine with discussion threads for specific nationalities hosted in our general sub-forum, as long as people there stick to writing in English.
TLDR: Bring more bilingual people into our thread moderators.I feel like the worst policy here is forcing members to only speak english. As a site on the internet we're going to have a healthy amount of members who can't effectively engage without english, a naturally problem of no real barriers to entry. And forcing people to only speak english can and will be read in a way that excludes non-primary english speakers from engaging with our community. And exclusion of that nature is a troubling precedent to set. As a wiki for hobbyist, adding barriers to engage with our hobby isn't really self productive. In fact, a lot of the cons listed end of existing if we make english the only permissible language, we just get to ignore the problem cause of english speaking majority. Such a policy doesn't end of promoting inclusivity, accessibility, and transparency in our community but the exact opposite.
The real solution I see here is the attempt to broaden are billingual speaking or reading at least thread moderators.
See the problem with that, personage of esteem whom I haven't interacted with before, is that this forum and wiki is by its very inception not friendly to non-English speakers. Every profile, every revision thread and every rule is required to be in English. That's the goal, thems are the pillars of our foundation. So, by doing that we've already killed any pretence of diversity. This would just be putting the nail in the coffin. And personally, I'd be okay with putting said nail in said coffin.This was my alternative

I think that would be good, in addition to us generating more people for vsbttles or fandom ( let's say vsbttles will be more recognized ) I have many Brazilian friends who would like to join vsbttles and be able to argue about the favorite verse, also vsbttles needs at least one 5 or more admirers and moderators for each different language, we don't lose anything with that, but we gain with it, imagine a system that can integrate good things on a global level? I see a good thing about this, in fact it would generate more contribution to the wiki, both in money and advertisements and popularity, you could grow even more with this and encourage people to like your cultures even more.This was my alternative

Yes, a little while ago for the @Crabwhale It is @Mr._Bambu , but if you want to delete my comment I don't mind.@LuffyRuffy46307 did you get the permission to comment here?
Yes. To me, it appears acceptable, and I am also open to having particular discussion threads for other nationalities, on the condition that the communication takes place in English.@Mr._Bambu @Crabwhale @Planck69 @Damage3245 @Deagonx @DarkDragonMedeus @LordGriffin1000 @KLOL506 @Just_a_Random_Butler @DontTalkDT @Dereck03 @Ogurtsow @Duedate8898

Thank you for the replies.I am personally fine with discussion threads for specific nationalities hosted in our general sub-forum, as long as people there stick to writing in English.
It's called "VS Battles Wiki" officially. The term already included fandom and forum automatically.IMO, the word fandom would be better to be replaced with wiki regardless of the final output. Because we're a wiki site on a wiki farm on the MediaWiki engine. «fandom» doesn't suit in this context.

I still think that this should preferably be added.Thank you for the replies.
Is it fine if Dread adds roughly what I wrote above to her rule draft?
This policy applies to all members of this fandom and our forum,
