Requests for Comment/Adding special pages for opinions

{{ClosedRfC|Snowballed and impractical with the existence and current use of blogs. --Raidarr (talk) 09:44, 20 September 2021 (UTC)|I would like to request a system for users to create personal pages for opinions. Opinion pages will be located in the user namespace, but can be edited by other users. They will not be counted as official pages, but will still apply to certain Manual of Style rules. Each opinion page will be marked with a notice that says "This is an opinion page. It represents a personal or minority opinion and does not reflect majority opinion, and thus is not an official page." I have not yet decided whether or not they should be allowed to be put in categories. This will be to make it so that users can still talk about an unpopular opinion.

 * 1)  This is a known and accepted use of the blog feature, thus adding 'special pages' or a namespace for this is redundant. --Raidarr (talk) 21:50, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It wouldn't be a namespace. Also, I feel like it would be a more official way. I was inspired to do this by news sources that have opinion sections. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 21:53, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It does not need a more official way. What this proposal lacks is necessity. Change for change's sake in a community accustomed to something else. Perhaps you can consider ways to make the blogs namespace better organized or 'more official' themselves. Furthermore opinion pieces are professionally written either collaboratively or by one author, making 'opinion pages' with open editing by anyone a strange idea. Finally, a substantive minority opinion can (or should) be allowed on main pages with proper sourcing. This caveat is the biggest thing people tend to forget, and it would make a lot of edits more justifiable. It's the lack of backup that makes them most problematic. --Raidarr (talk) 23:27, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1)  Blog posts exist for a reason. If you really want that, you could use The New Reception Wiki or my wiki. TigerBlazer (talk) 21:58, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Worth reiterating that what this proposal suggests can be mainly done right here on QP, without being directed to a 'third party' wiki like the above. --Raidarr (talk) 00:00, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1)  per the above The blog post feature exists for this very purpose. Marxo Grouch  (talk) 02:14, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 2)  This is absolutely pointless. The blog feature exists for this reason. Adding 'special pages' or a namespace for this is completely redundant. Fortdicted (talk) 02:49, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
