Learning Project
Would it be possible to transition the Playspace to a main namespace learning project rather than user space? I believe it would work the same way as in the past, but be 'open' rather than under one or more user accounts. I trust there was good reason for the user account approach at the time, but it's now awkward (at least to me) trying to delete one user's files out of another user's space. Just a question for consideration. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 04:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
 * As the Playspace concept developed, I began moving inappropriate pages to user space for the user who created it. But IP users aren't stable. In addition, there are utterly inactive users. In the Playspace concept, pages are in a Playspace of a user, who is taking responsibility for them. The user has generally moved them there. I would now only do this for IP creations of some possible value to the user. For deletion, consider the deletion reasons. The files I just tagged for deletion were speediable from the start. If you disagree, we can go to RFD, but that's rather silly, don't you think?
 * Instead of deleting or requesting deletion of those pages, ab initio, I put them in a place where the creator could reclaim them if they wanted to. But then I monitored the space. I'd never find them again if they were in mainspace.
 * Yes, a central Playspace could be created, but who is responsible for it? It was "adult supervision" that was core to the Playspace concept. Some of the creators, at least, were children. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 09:58, 2 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I've created the Wikiversity Incubator. I'll supervise.  We don't need an RfD, but I wasn't comfortable going straight from maintained content to a speedy deletion.  Speedy deletion at the time would have been fine, but after two years 'speedy' isn't an appropriate resolution.  Proposed deletion is the tool we have for this purpose.  Feel free to move other projects into the incubator if you find content that should be supervised and given time to grow.  Thanks!  -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:52, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
