Hi fellow wikipedia lovers,

I am getting feedback on people wanting less rules on titles. I intentionally made it not a hard rule, but I think there’s something beautiful in just using the wikipedia title by default. Wikipedia is a site immune to clickbait with strict policies on titles, and so aesthetically, I prefer to put the description in the post body, not the title. It also makes it much easier to moderate :D But please tell me your thoughts on this topic and we can re-calibrate the rule, if people would prefer. This community doesn’t belong to me; I just made it because I wanted it to exist. Also, on that topic, since our community is well over 1000 monthly active users, would be great to bring on 1-2 moderators, because I don’t have any intention to be BDFL of this community and I honestly have enough going on as it is. Please comment or DM me if you are interested. I will select applicants based on prior engagement here.

Cheers, Your humble local mod who is definitely not using this community as a trojan horse for clam facts but here’s an article about wampum because I feel like it

    Off topic but I wish the body would automatically include a preview of the first few paragraphs of the Wikipedia entry.

      If anyone knows how to code this together while allowing users to still set their own body text if they wish, hit me up!
