Board Thread:Community Projects/@comment-6218837-20160505190513

Being a fan ideas wiki and thus a very community-oriented kind of site, it's a good management choice to encourage community contribution as much as possible. That's why we've introduced the Idea Reviews Board, adoption policies, et cetera.

I felt like it was fair to introduce a feature to articles themselves that really encourages this kind of communication - thus, Creator Comments was born.

As seen on this page, the Creator Comments are a section underneath the rest of the page. They involve a short explanation of how the idea occurred to the author, with a signature (just place ~ at the end) following. A handy way to make your thought process more transparent!

Just note that these aren't by any means mandatory, and you can feel free to add them or not. Generally, I'd say an article with creator comments looks much more polished and is more likely to garner support from viewers.

A final note: although they're not really part of the article, creator comments do need to be properly formatted and have proper grammar and spelling. If they aren't well-written, they'll fail to make an impact on any viewer, and may even detract from the idea as a whole.

Enjoy!
