Recently, KockaAdmiralac has proposed a chat addition which I think should've been added a long time ago. Sub-Channels.

Adding channels will help users who come over head over to an area where a particular topic is held with other users. To give an example, if you have a question about undertale, head over to the Question & Answers section. Talk about the wikia in general, the wiki discussion section. Want fanart? Fanon section (maybe it'll have a sub-sub and have a roleplay section.) You can post channel ideas here if you want.

There are some problems, however. First of all, it would probably be harder for moderators to manage the chat. Currently, it is all in one place, so now they might need to switch channels rapidly to see, especially if they are online alone. Secondly, according to some existing chat users, it would be a bit more complicated for new users. That would be fixed with a tutorial in the chat/help section. There are also complaints that it might crash the server that way since the channels might be a lot to handle for wikia. These are all risks, and no guarantees it will be as bad, or have any bad at all.

What do you think?
