:Having the Help and Inquiries page makes it easy for new users to find answers to questions that have already been asked. That's why I created it. And I don't agree with the idea that users will feel like they've landed on the wrong page. That discussion page is linked under "Help Needed". It made sense when it linked to the Help and Inquiries page, but not now. [[User:Sahab|--Sahab]] ([[User talk:Sahab|talk]]) 16:30, 5 March 2014 (PST)

:::H/I isnt being used often [http://wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=WikiIslam:Forum/Help_and_Inquiries&action=history] (last edit 6 months ago) enough to make it the primary link for Discussions. But ok, valid point that Discussions now doesnt make sense for Help needed. Lets move it below Editing Help. Saggy made a number of sections recently on your talk page that should instead be on some kind of "current discussions' page so everyone can respond and they're not really messages specific to only you. Lawrence made that recent topic [http://wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=WikiIslam:Forum/Ideas_and_Suggestions&diff=105264&oldid=102356] on another page (getting to it requires an extra click and eye-scanning). Again we want to make it easy for people to use the Discussion pages and we dont have too many ongoing discussions to need separate pages for these things.

:::Sorry, forgot to respond to "for new users to find answers to questions that have already been asked". If new users ask a question, we can give them a link to the H/I page. Right now we should see what we can do to make an easily accessible discussions page for current users. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 16:41, 5 March 2014 (PST)

We can keep the H/I page if you want, but not link it to discussions. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] ([[User talk:Axius|talk]]) 16:41, 5 March 2014 (PST)
