Given the topic of this wiki, it surprises me that getting help seems to be gated behind [[discord]].

Line 13:

If such an explanation does not exist, please help create one. Some of the things I think it well to address:

* Why discord?

*Why discord?

* Is anything being done to move to a more consumer friendly platform? (e.g., What other platforms are being considered? What platforms rejected? What are desiderata? What is anticipated time frame?)

*Is anything being done to move to a more consumer friendly platform? (e.g., What other platforms are being considered? What platforms rejected? What are desiderata? What is anticipated time frame?)

* Is there a project to mirror the public parts of the discord to the wiki, or to a web page? (I haven’t found a tool to do this. If I were doing it, I would try starting with something like DiscordChatExporter. [not an endorsement, I haven’t tried it]) A discord client for wiki (i.e., lets wiki users post on the discord) would be even better. (However, with the direction discord company is going, this is probably not worth the effort.)

Any other questions such an explanation should answer?

== Where to ask questions on the wiki? ==

==Where to ask questions on the wiki?==

Where should users ask questions if they don't do discord? e.g., Questions about how to use wiki? Questions about policy? And most important, questions they can't figure out where to ask?

A quick link/directory of where to ask would be really helpful on the homepage. Thank you. [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 00:23, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

:Not a mod (''you’ve probably seen me say that by now'') but I’d go to [[CRW Team]] which shows members, click on one of the blue wiki links and ask for advice on a mods talk page. They usually get back within a day or so. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|<i><b>AnotherConsumerRightsPerson</b></i>]] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 20:01, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

::Basically this^

::It might be best to ping specific moderators since not many of them are frequently on or are aware of all the Talk pages. And still, the noticeboard is the best bet for all questions, especially if you don't have one specific mod in mind. You can also ping someone there too.
