Proposal: for any Main article that doesn't have a talk page: move the talk page at DF2014 Talk to Talk and blank the old talk page. This can be done as an automated bulk action. Discord thread
Pros:
- Years-old discussion from DF2014 may still be relevant today, or have useful links/tips for current editors. I always check the DF2014 talk page before making a new topic.
- Continuing old discussions requires adding to the DF2014 talk page or moving the conversation to the new talk page
- Creates talk pages for most Main articles, meaning new editors can add comments without being autoconfirmed
- Makes it less intimidating for new editors to leave comments when there's already pre-existing discussion
- Makes the wiki feel more active; empty/noncreated talk pages makes the place seem abandoned
Cons:
- Most of the discussions on DF2014 are probably outdated. Some of them may have only been relevant to the 0.47 versions of the game.
