Board Thread:The Wiki Tavern/@comment-25085701-20180812200651

Okay. Moving a discussion off of a personal wall and over here.

Discussion items:

1) Surveys - creation on the Wiki - should we allow any at all?   Or put them all through the Tavern?

2) Sanctioned Official Surveys - how do I make one?  are there guidelines?

3) Unofficial (Fun) Surveys - where do I post one?  how do I announce one?

4) School-Based Surveys - how do I signal boost, where do I put it?  do I need to go through official channels?

( Some established comments already from Lady Alys):

- In most cases, surveys should be run through the Habitica Tavern, not the Tavern board on the forum.

- It is important that they first discuss it with the staff by emailing admin@habitica.com. If the staff consider the survey to be suitable, they will then give instructions about how to appropriately advertise the survey, which usually but not always includes posting to the Tavern every couple of days and possibly also to a small number of guilds that have topics closely related to the survey's purpose. Posting to the wiki is not included. Following those instructions is necessary for the survey to continue to be permitted. There are important reasons for surveys to be handled this way (for example, it's necessary to ensure that there is no inappropriate collection of players' personal data).

- If we put anything on the wiki, we'd probably want to make it a subtle mention so as not to encourage frivolous surveys or to create confusion with the occasional official surveys that give achievements.
