Pentagon leaks

Please add that Discord are cooperating with law enforcement.

Discord is "cooperating with law enforcement" in regard to the leak.^[1] 38.49.194.196 (talk) 12:53, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The current screenshot needs improvement

Main features of Discord like Servers or messaging are completely left out in the screenshot. A non-free image should display what can't be illustrated with words, and in its current form, it fails to do so. Carpimaps (talk) 11:07, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Current image is fine, showing the basic layout of the UI. No screenshot is going to capture and show every aspect, and showing a live server runs into privacy and promotional issues. -- ferret (talk) 13:24, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, one screenshot cannot capture all aspect of an application. And I am not suggesting to take a screenshot of a random live server. I just wished the current screenshot showed the messaging feature of this application. Ca ^{talk to me!} 16:46, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

change "Seven years ago" to "Eight years ago" due to it being Discord's birthday today Tsukara (talk) 17:58, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Can be done. ~ AC5230 talk 18:01, 13 May 2023 (UTC)~~[reply]

Cannot be done. It automatically updates. I'm sort of stupid ~ AC5230 talk 18:02, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@AC5230 The article just needed a purge to refresh the template. I've done so. -- ferret (talk) 13:25, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. That tracks. ~ AC5230 talk 01:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Add "Discord is primarily used by video gamers" to the lead. Sources: [1] [2] [3] [4]. This is a pretty important detail that should be made clear to readers. 136.22.20.39 (talk) 03:50, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remove References to VOIP 10 July 2023

It's very unusual to refer to an instant messaging platform with voice/video capabilities as VOIP. The use of VOIP is usually reserved for services that interop with existing circuit-switching based telephony networks (i.e. you can use VOIP to dial a traditional phone number) Discord does not support the dialing of phone numbers therefore it should not be referred to as VOIP. Furthermore, this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VoIP_companies Does not list other instant messaging platforms that do not support calling phone numbers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.215.3.205 (talk) 18:19, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sold that this is incorrect use of the term VOIP. Especially not in regards to the List of VoIP companies, which is definitely incomplete and wholly unsourced. -- ferret (talk) 19:08, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 3 August 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Discord. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
