Forum:CT Archive/User template


 * Okay. As you may have noticed, Darth Culator recently deleted . Now, I'm not criticizing his decision. He gave his justifaction here, and I can see his logic. However, this has resulted in a backlog of new wanted pages. Therefore, I suggest we make a new, more Star Warsy (?) template to replace the old one. So: Agreements? Denunciations? Apathy? What do you guys think? -- SFH 22:53, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * If only Wanted Pages could be reconfigured to report the most wanted pages by namespace. Then, we could display wanted articles, and no one would care if userpages were redlinks or not. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:58, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The lack of the user template has rendered the Wanted Pages page worthless. It needs to be resurrected in some form and put to use.  jSarek 08:47, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

A goof on my part is partly responsible for this problem, so I'll try to be part of the solution.
 * 1) I posted a question here in regards to Silly Dan's question.
 * 2) Would it be desirable to create a template for userpages that have been indefinitely banned, such as "This user has been banned indefinitely"? If so, would it be desirable (or even possible) to have such a template be automatically placed on a banned userpage as soon as that user has been banned by an administrator?

 * We have banned already but we don't leave it permanently on user pages (see Forum:Deny recognition). Green Tentacle (Talk) 18:39, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

O.K...Since we have special pages with an active user list and with a user list, would it be possible (or even desirable) to have a Specialpage with a banned user list? This idea may be against the "Deny Recognition" policy, but I only suggest it since the banned user names are already on the user list, mixed in with the non-banned users. Of course, if this isn't even possible, it's a moot point anyways! Jaywin 01:19, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's possible, but yes, Wanted Pages absolutely stinks now. —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:46, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I see the logic, but I don't think it's particularly helpful.. Hmm. Perhaps we could ressurrect it (but more Star Warsy) with guidelines on it's usage, such as only place it on a users page if it's clogging up the wanted pages list. :P &mdash;  beeurd  talk 02:01, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
