DigimonWiki talk:News/News Box

Could you add info about the upcoming Xros Wars and Lost Evolution, here? Glorious  CHAOS!  19:44, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Duely noted, though to be honest, I'm still sorting out the format for the whole news section. How about this - all registered users are allowed to write news articles, though they first have to display them on a page where a designated news "editor" (or just any one of the main users) will scan through the article, decide if the topic is suitable and make necessary improvements, before publishing the article for real on the main news page with the original writer's username, the date, and maybe a source (definitely for outside news). Finally, a brief summary of the news article will go in this news box, which will be displayed on the homepage.


 * I think I've accounted for everything there. THB  → Talk ← 22:10, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to take up the mantle of "news editor".

So, basically: user writes news/proposes -> checked by editor/users -> approved/rejected/edited -> published on main news page -> summarized for news box. At the same time, I wonder how practical it is to have both news articles and summary articles. Other wikis, like Wikimon, just seem to have the summary box on the homepage. I'm afraid it could create a giant backlog of unpublished news. I was also thinking we could add a RSS feed from WtW News in as well, if we want other sources of news.
