User blog:TheSlicer/Wiki Chat

So the forums are dead officially now (though really they've been dead for months). I think reviving Special:Chat would be a good idea for many reasons: it's on-site for quicker access, about as simple to moderate, and allows for broader community engagement since all registered users can access it.

That being said, I know there are objections and I want to hear more of them before this goes to a vote. Most of those seem to have to do with bugs in wiki chat, though I've never experienced any myself. If you have seen bugs in the chat, post about them--but only if they're recent. This wiki hasn't used wiki chat for a long time, so test the chat feature out here and let me know what you think.
