== Question Page ==


Can I ask, why has the question page been removed? I mean, if the question page is getting long, then if there are answered questions that have been there for over a certain period of time, delete them! Another way to make space!


[[User:ShadowDancer|ShadowDancer]] 23:26, 19 July 2006 (EDT): Probably the best solution would be to seperate out the individual questions to new articles classified by different categories.  Unanswered questions still needing solutions, Answered questions, and New questions.  Maybe even a page for questions that probably don't have an answer at this time/in this version of CS.

::Hopefully this problem is solved for now, although I suspect the Questions and Answered categories are going to fill up very quickly. Any ideas for keeping them organized? Maybe categories for types of questions? After over 150 edits to clean this page up, I'm going to be sorely PO'ed if it becomes messy again. ;) [[User:Scruggs|Scruggs]] 16:28, 8 October 2006 (EDT)
:This is a very old discussion (look at the dates) and has nothing to do with the current decision to disallow questions.

The regular contributers don't have time to answer questions and it's pointless to have a questions category if hardly any questions are answered and if there's a better alternative - the construction set forums.

Impressive work, Scruggs, to say the least. I had wanted no part in that much re-organizing, I'm really impressed that you did that. Thank you, that's amazing.

:::Hopefully we can keep this more managable now that you've cleaned it up. As for keeping the categories from going out of control... I don't know. Categories of questions is a good idea. What categories should we have?

This is a very old discussion (look at the dates) and has nothing to do with the current decision to disallow questions. When the Wiki first started all questions were on one page, and every new question and answer made page longer. As you can see there was decided to put every question on it's own page, like threads in a forum and put all those questions in the question category.
In regard to the recent decision to disallow questions completely; the amount of space is not the problem, the forums are far more appropriate to ask questions. Compared to the past the number of active members has decreased dramatically and the amount of articles that need attention is increasing every day. The regular contributers don't have time to answer questions and it's pointless to have a questions category if hardly any questions are answered and if there's a better alternative - the construction set forums.
