User:Imamy/Requests for Comment/Allow certain reception wiki types to be created

This part was written for a comment that I shared for an RfC Allow certain reception wiki types to be created

It was too big and ugly looking at the RfC so I have cut and pasted here:


 * 1)  I personally would like reception wikis to be available at Miraheze, esp if they can be maintained with low moderation overhead.  They are not my kind of wikis, which is probably why I have been in the dark about the negative aspects.
 * 2) Thank you to Tali64 for sharing the Google Search, "miraheze reception wikis rant".  That made it possible for me to understand a bit more of the issue about Reception Wikis.
 * 3) Thank you to Snorunt for sharing  "User Reception Wiki".  That also helped expand my understanding.
 * 4) Thank you for having this available: https://receptionwikis.miraheze.org/
 * 5) I have a tendency to write a book - but I'm really not sure if there's a way to say it without going on and on.  Apologies in advance.  Just need a few minutes to trim as much as I can.

I'm thinking about moving the rules to moderating writing prompts. That will give the moderators an easier time eliminating content, and also, push the contributors to pay more attention to writing structure and hopefully less about what they'd really like others to know about the quality of a show, item, user, that they are reviewing. For example, and this is only an example, of how a writing prompt is implemented. --Imamy (talk) 04:59, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) every contributer must create a user page where they can post their comments for viewing, not for talking.  They'll have to learn to link to their statement.  Clearly the novice wiki poster is at a disadvantage but most learn pretty quickly if they really really really want their post to be available and read.
 * 2) it's bannable/suspendable offense if someone were to respond to the contributor's review on the contributor's user or talk page because everyone is expected to express their comments only on their own user and talk pages.  if they wish to have a private discussion, then they'll have to create a neutral user page for this discussion, with an invitaion with an @ping on their own user page for the other users to click on, and this invitation may only be found if the other users click on the hook link first.  (either that or they will have to talk about it on a different wiki like meta).
 * 3) when someone shares an opinion say about how they feel about a show, a product, a user, then they may post a link to their opinion that is readable at their user page and only their user page - i'm going to call this a hook link.  They have only 9 words to grab someome's attention and get the reader to click to read more.
 * 4) Rules for the hook link - what are the restrictions?
 * 5) The hook link must be posted in the appropriate section: eg: good / bad / neutral / whatever criteria that constitutes the quality being measured
 * 6) The hook link may be a string of 9 words or less - if longer, then it may be removed by any user (must cite reason)
 * 7) The hook link will go to a comment on their own user page.  If the link goes to talk page or any other page, then this hook link my be removed by any user (must cite reason)
 * 8) If someone disagrees with a hook link, they may reply below the original hook link with an appropriate hook link (eg 9 words or less with comment posted at their own user page
 * 9) to be honest Idk if this would work or not.  But i know that anything that can make it easier to remove a comment, may make it harder to keep feuds going.  Although, this too could cause a whole set of new issues that require moderating.  It all depends on so many factors.
