Hey guys, so I have this little idea for the wiki that some of us have talked about before but never really put into action. Basically, our news post series' consist of Wiki Channel Weebley, which has posts including various different stories from news to gossip, and The Pilot, which only posts about official information and is professional. Then we have the Press which is for official announcement from Wiki Channel itself, more exclusive and concrete than The Pilot. So basically, there are a lot of more things in the gossip world that can be covered, like not big things just small tidbits. We have the Weebley but those are meant to include multiple stories and it's hard to get things covered in those because a) you only can include so many stories b) weebleys take a good amount of time to make and time is money my friend. So my idea is that we start another news series' but one that would be exclusively for gossip and small stories. It would have single posts with single stories, not multiplte stories in one just a single topic. They would still be somewhat articles but just small articles.

To keep this small, I was thinking we could make this section an add on to the Chatter brand and title it "Chatter Gossip" (bland title, someone think of something better). It could be like Twitter moments. Like I mentioned earlier, it'd be a series of small posts about what's going on in the Wiki world behind the scenes. It could have rumors, statements from actors, speculation, anything. It'd be like TMZ only hopefully less disgusting. I think this would be perfect for building up story arcs for the lives of actors and behind the scenes drama. I think it'd be good to get actors and projects more features in the gossip world because it helps create an image for them but it's hard to do that with Weebleys. This section, since such posts would be small, would not count towards any points on the leaderboard.

For displaying the posts, basically I was thinking we could have a separate page for it. I came up with two ways 1) We could just simply make blog posts for each post and have it listed in a blog post feed on that feed (something like this). 2) We could put all of them on the one page in templates and when it gets too full we could make archives.

With this in place we can then save the Weebley for big stories, interviews, fun games, and still have some gossip here and there. Basically Chatter would have all the trashy talk and Weebley would have the classy.

Tell me what you think below. Thanks!
