Help:Champion discussion

Discussions over specific topics may need to take place from time to time. PetroWiki offers moderators a convenient place for asynchronous communication through the moderation task page. Starting or joining a discussion is easy when you follow a few short steps.

Edit requirements

Discussions can only be started if a page has been edited by someone. If a page has not been edited but moderators would like to discuss a page then a simple edit can be generated on the topic page in order to create a discussion link.

Who can contribute

Only the moderators assigned to the topic page can contribute to the discussion.

Daily email alerts

A daily email alert of pending moderation tasks will be generated until the edit is resolved as accepted or rejected.
