+ | ==== What is it? ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ThreadMode is the name given to a wiki page that is a record of a discussion between the page's contributors. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The standard voice of a wiki page is that of a single document presenting some kind of anonymous consensus. Often this is intimidating: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ThreadMode allows for free-form discussion of a subject between interested parties, often before a consensus may have been reached. By removing any requirement for consensus, strict factuality or neutrality, ThreadMode allows for the sharing of different points of view //before// any consensus has been reached. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Usage ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Rather than collaborating on a cohesive document, contributors append their point of view to the page, signing their name to their contribution. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is important to limit the length of any ThreadMode discussion. Ultimately, ThreadMode discussion is hard to read and confusing to newcomers, and should be refactored into a single document based on the consensus (or lack thereof) developed during the discussion. Failure to do so leads to [[ThreadMess|ThreadMess]] . | ||
+ | |||
+ | Often a page will be a mixture of ThreadMode and DocumentMode, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Examples ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Most Wikipedia discussion pages are written in ThreadMode | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Related Patterns ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * [[WikiGnome|WikiGnome]] s often refactor ThreadMode discussion into a document | ||
+ | * [[ThreadMess|ThreadMess]] is the antipattern that arises when ThreadMode is not refactored | ||
