One of the largest inconveniences we face around this wiki is when users post content in the wrong namespace or otherwise ignore post guidelines, I've been looking for a way to easily move this content straight over to the forums but with no success. Will there be a method to move from, say, the Mainspace straight to the Discussions board? It'd save us the loss of many posts and questions that are simply posted in the wrong place. Moving content from a wiki page to a Discussion post won't be any easier. The only tool you could use to do that would be good old copy/paste. Discussions is not built on MediaWiki and so, as you can see from the URL structure of the Fallout and Elder Scrolls examples, does not exist in the namespace structure at all. However, I am interested to hear more about this problem. Could you show me (or tell me about) some examples of users posting content elsewhere that belonged here in the forum? We're going to be testing out different ways to bring in the desktop/wiki visitors to Discussions. As part of testing here, we could see if there's a way to catch and route those people properly.
