@Beboper and interested parties,

I emailed the support team as you suggested (their response is below)

It seems they also find the alphabetical option interesting... but expressed concerns on its limited use outside of our price checking board. I am not familiar enough with all the various wiki's and how an alphabetical sort option would be of benefit to them. I was hoping someone here could enlighten me if there other uses for suchan option. Otherwise, I'm inclined to disembark on my crusade :P

"Hi Watchdog247,

Thank you for contacting us. Special:Contact is always the best way to submit product suggestions and ask questions like this! The Community team can answer questions, and pass feedback to our Product team.

>>1) Stickies will be introduced anytime soon? some of the boards would benefit greatly from them.

The Highlight option -- available to admins, that uses the Notifications feature -- was intended to replace stickies. But we know it's not really doing the job, and we have some plans to make it better. More sticky-like! This is a request we've heard from others.

>>2) There are plans in the works to add an alphabetical sort option and/or a time sensitive indicator option for posts (purpose of which would be to let those that update the wiki know when information may be outdated)

The alphabetical sort option is an interesting idea. I see how it would be helpful in your Price Check board, but I'm not sure if many other use cases really exist for that. Even in your other boards, can you imagine using that sort option very often? Let me know more about this, if you have more details.

"a time sensitive indicator option for posts (purpose of which would be to let those that update the wiki know when information may be outdated)" Can you give me more details about this? I am not sure I understand. Already, there are sorting options for 'most recently active', 'oldest threads' and 'newest threads' (those last two were added recently).

Thank you!

Best regards,

Bert Wikia Community Support"
