Thanks for the guidelines ferret, as we requested.Might amend the guideline on outing to prohibit linking to off-wiki sites where Wikipedians are outed/doxed.Preceding unsigned comment added by Nosebagbear ( talk Being in OT does not permit mass spamming/disruptive meming" The boundaries are more likely to be firmly enforced if there are individuals in the channel at that point who don't want it/are talking about something different. Even if they are relevant, they should be rare, or still be moved to OT.

Regarding memes, my rough viewpoint is "memes with no relation to the discussion should go in offtopic. Epicgenius: I think that's a reasonable interpretation Epic re nicknames.Since Discord caters to a generally younger audience than IRC, I think that is a good tradeoff. If I'm understanding correctly: nicknames or usernames should be incorporated into the display name in some fashion, and memes should be used only sparingly and only in offtopic if possible. Offtopic is monitored more lightly but just back to back spam is a problem even there if it's disrupting the chat. As for memes, they shouldn't be excessively spammed anywhere. Keep in mind that the compact mode doesn't show avatars/profiles, so name changes can be even more confusing. Nicknames have generated a lot of complaints lately. Nicknames should always make it clear who you are, whether by including your normal chat name or on-wiki username in some fashion.But does that mean that one can't just change their display name to something that's not already taken as a valid username on-wiki? For instance, can someone not have their display name as just "Shipping Container" without having their on-wiki username or nickname in their display name as well? Also, does number 9 mean that memes should not be spammed except in offtopic? epicgenius ( talk) 18:03, 28 July 2020 (UTC) A query about number 8 though - it's supposed to prevent impersonation, which is good. Not every rule is expected to be popular and final decision will lie with the moderators and admins. Leave any feedback, questions or concerns you have here. Several new bullets are added that deal with Discord specifically (7-11). Much of the guidelines are taken straight from the IRC guidelines, with the language modernized (1-7).

This section is for feedback regarding Wikipedia:Discord/Guidelines, a tweaked and expanded version of the IRC guidelines to soon take effect as the rules for the Discord server. Feedback has been reviewed and in many cases implemented.

A summary of the conclusions reached follows. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. Is there any kind of ETA on when the bot will have these functions? - Wauteurz ( talk) 13:37, (UTC) Wauteurz: It's already been done, so it can be added as soon as you reach out to me on Discord - IVORK Talk 22:43, (UTC) If the bot will be reworked completely, then I reckon it'd be best for us to wait for a bit before setting it up for the Wikivoyage server. I aim for the end product to have users just authenticate to Wikimedia, which can then be used among any Wikiproject. However I am going to begin rewriting the bot for proper OAuth so it'd be easiest to wait until after that has been conducted. Wauteurz: Same as stjn above, I'm happy to support this request given the server has sufficient members.Wauteurz: your server can get WikiBot if it has a sufficient number of members (10 or more, just to prove that it is an active server) and if you write me about it on Discord.Thank you in advance! - Wauteurz ( talk) 20:29, 16 April 2020 (UTC) Stjn and IVORK: - ferret ( talk) 21:36, 16 April 2020 (UTC) We would like to know whether the server bots would be available to be used in it, and if so, how we can get these bots working on the server. I am assisting ויקיג'אנקי with setting up a central server for the Wikivoyage project.
