Forum:SH Archive/Reminder: Talk page templates

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

I would like to remind the other regular editors of the many wonderful templates to be found in Category:User talk templates. Some examples include (as of right now):


 * Template:W, our happy friendly welcome template. Honestly, it seems like there are only two editors using this.  Come on, people: if we don't give a friendly welcome to new registered users, point them to Manual of Style, and make our talk pages available for their questions, how are we going to continue expanding and improving articles?  By ourselves? 8)


 * Template:Anon: if an anon is persistently making useful or potentially useful edits, encourage them to sign up. Why? See above.  Some anonymous users are helpful, knowledgable fans who just haven't come up with a good username yet.


 * Template:Msg-fanon, Template:Nothanks, Template:Test1, Template:Test2 (which is missing for some reason), Template:Test3, Template:Test4, and Template:Blanking (and possibly others that have been created in the meantime) are great alternatives to putting an entry on Vandalism in progress every single time some kid drops by the public library, adds the word "poop" to an article, and logs off. They're also great alternatives to getting angry and yelling at them on their talk pages, as they are somewhat more polite and take less keystrokes to type in.


 * Also, if Sikon were here, he'd remind you to "subst" those templates (that is, type ~ rather than ~ ). So, please do that.  Thanks. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 04:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
