[20:00] <@Darth_Culator> For the log: [20:00] <+Tommy9281> Dudes have shit to do [20:00] <@Darth_Culator> !hieverybody [20:00] <@Nuku-Nuku> Hello, AdmirableAckbar, Axims, CC7567, ChackJadson, Chack|Away, ChanServ, charitwo, CommanderTony, Cylka, Darth_Culator, DarthTrayus, Graestan, GrandMoffTranner, GreenTentacle, Grunny, Havac, IFYLOFD, Imperialles, Ineedaname|Away, ixesha, JangFett, Jaymach, Jedimca0, JMAS, jSarek, Jujiggum, Kilson, LordHydronium, LtNOWIS, MasterJonathan, Mauser, Nuku-Nuku, Pranay_Sobusk, (1 more message) [20:00] <+IFYLOFD> Dark Greetings.

[20:00] <@ChackJadson> HI! [20:00] <@Riffsyphon1024> Ok it's official, everyone keep things professional as possible [20:00] <+IFYLOFD> Bwahahaha. [20:00] <+Kilson> Yeah. [20:01] <+JangFett> Hello [20:01] * +Tyber nods. [20:01] <+Kilson> You got to be kidding. [20:01] * +GrandMoffTranner nods [20:01] <+IFYLOFD> Yes. [20:01] <@Graestan> Alright, let us begin. [20:01] * Darth_Culator sets mode: -v ixesha [20:01] <@Riffsyphon1024> as possible [20:01] <+Kilson> Me professsional. [20:01] * Darth_Culator sets mode: -v salacio [20:01] <@Graestan> *SILENCE* [20:01] * Darth_Culator sets mode: -v Tm_T [20:01] <@Graestan> "Banning self votes on RFRs. While this probably doesn't need to go through a Mofference, I'm doing it just to be safe. Chack Jadson (Talk) 01:35, 30 June 2009 (UTC) [20:01] <@Graestan>    * Addendum: While I don't really care one way or the other, I see no point in banning self-votes in one election process but not in others. Therefore, just to be consistent, I'd like to extend the proposal to cover RFAs and RFBs also. â€”Master Jonathan(Jedi Council Chambers) 02:34, 23 July 2009 (UTC) " [20:01] <@Graestan> Chack? Jonathan? [20:01] <@ChackJadson> eh, barring it entirely is fine with me [20:02] <@Graestan> I refrain from comment. ;) [20:02] <@Graestan> Anyone else? [20:02] <@Riffsyphon1024> I figure the person will support themselves, why should it count? [20:02] <@Imperialles> I don't think we need to codify it. It has never been an issue. [20:02] <+Jaymach> you could just vote :P it's going to pass [20:02] <+Kilson> For once. [20:02] <+MasterJonathan> As I said, I don't care what we do, but it needs to be consistent across all three. [20:02] <@SillyDan> No serious objections here. [20:02] <@Toprawa> The President can vote for himself. Why can't a nominee here? [20:02] <@LtNOWIS> eh... is this really a problem? [20:02] <@Imperialles> Besides, I voted for myself for my RFA. :p [20:02] <+Tommy9281> Per Rif & NOWIS [20:02] <@Darth_Culator> I don't see it being necessary. [20:02] <+Mauser> I support [20:02] <+IFYLOFD> I support. [20:02] <@Havac> I support. [20:02] <@ChackJadson> it's not a big deal [20:02] <+Jujiggum> I support [20:02] <@Riffsyphon1024> Aye [20:02] <+JMAS> Support [20:02] <+Kilson> I support. [20:02] <@AdmirableAckbar> Self votes on WOTM are banned, no reason not to here. [20:02] <@AdmirableAckbar> I support. [20:02] * +JangFett nods [20:02] <+Tyber> support [20:02] <@Grunny> Support [20:02] <+Pranay_Sobusk> I support. [20:02] <@Toprawa> Object. [20:02] <@Riffsyphon1024> keep it consistent [20:02] <+GrandMoffTranner> Support [20:02] <@GreenTentacle> Total support. [20:02] <@jSarek> Per Acky. Support. [20:02] <+DarthTrayus> Support. [20:02] <+CC7567> Support. [20:02] <@Darth_Culator> Oppose. [20:02] <@Cylka> Support. [20:02] <@Havac> No user rights should be selv-votable. [20:02] <@Havac> *self [20:03] <@Graestan> Wait, will this be retroactive? :P [20:03] <@Toprawa> Democracy hereby dies on Wookieepedia :P [20:03] <+Jaymach> I oppose too, purely because it makes me look like a douche for voting for myself :P [20:03] <+Tommy9281> I guess that means I support [20:03] <@Darth_Culator> Nothing is retroactive unless specified. [20:03] <@ChackJadson> Graestan: do you want it to be [20:03] <@GreenTentacle> Jaymach: Your are a douche. :P [20:03] <+Kilson> I think Jon wins. [20:03] <+Jaymach> true [20:03] <@Darth_Culator> Language, children. [20:03] <+Jaymach> but it makes me -look- like it too [20:03] <+IFYLOFD> Per Acky - We don't allow self-votes on WOTM, so let's be consistent for user rights votes. [20:03] <@jSarek> Jaymach: I don't think we'll be making it retroactive. Also, per Tent. :-p [20:03] <@Riffsyphon1024> only if there's explicit language making it retroactive [20:03] <@Graestan> Per Toprawa: *NO MORE SELF-VOTES on RFURs* Alright, next topic. [20:03] <@Graestan> "If this is the proper venue, I'd like to discuss developing and implementing a system of consistently updating the Wookieepedia:Search icons/In use page. What's there has been there at least since I joined and very likely much longer.â€”Tommy9281 (No quarter given, all exits sealed) 06:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC) " [20:03] <+Jaymach> I think I'd prefer being a retroactive douche to a current douche, really [20:03] <@Imperialles> No, it is not retroactive. [20:04] <@Imperialles> Search icons, who needs em? [20:04] <+MasterJonathan> per Imp [20:04] <@LordHydronium> Monobook users [20:04] <+Mauser> I don't care about search icons, I never see them in Monaco [20:04] <@Graestan> Whoever would like to make more, please do so. [20:04] <+Tommy9281> If we don't need them, then get rid of it [20:04] <@ChackJadson> update them I'd say [20:04] <@LtNOWIS> I suppose some change would be good [20:04] <+Jaymach> 90% of the users don't see the search icons anyway [20:04] <@Riffsyphon1024> lots of new material to use in search icons, people might like some Clone Wars [20:04] <@ChackJadson> I'm not making them though [20:04] <+MasterJonathan> Kill. [20:04] <@Darth_Culator> This seems like something that we could just set up a new Senate Hall page for. Not even a CT, necessarily. [20:04] <@Imperialles> All this would take is an admin who actually gives a damn to go over the page once in a while. No one is interested in doing so. [20:04] <@Graestan> Anyone want tomake them? [20:04] <@LordHydronium> The only one we need is an Omas one when he's eventually pictured [20:04] <@Riffsyphon1024> someone would up to it I'm sure [20:04] <+Tommy9281> Otherwise, I say that project leads should update the thing [20:04] <+Kilson> Yeah. [20:04] <@GreenTentacle> Per Culator. [20:04] <@AdmirableAckbar> If people want new ones, just make them. [20:04] <+Kilson> Kill. [20:04] <+Tommy9281> An admin isn't necessarily necessary [20:04] <@Riffsyphon1024> Peter Finch as Omas [20:04] <+IFYLOFD> I say no. [20:04] <+Tyber> are they really necessary? [20:04] <+CC7567> Killify. [20:05] <+Kilson> I don't have search icons. [20:05] <@Darth_Culator> Monobook will never die. [20:05] <+IFYLOFD> Kill. [20:05] <+Kilson> What's the point. [20:05] <@Havac> They look nice. [20:05] <+JangFett> Per Imp [20:05] <+Tommy9281> Per Havac [20:05] <@Darth_Culator> Not as long as Wikipedia uses it, so we might as well spiff it up to the extent possible. [20:05] <@LtNOWIS> Per Culator [20:05] <+Pranay_Sobusk> Per Havac. [20:05] <+Tyber> they do [20:05] <@GreenTentacle> They look nice. [20:05] <@Riffsyphon1024> we should keep them going [20:05] <+GrandMoffTranner> Per Culator [20:05] <@GreenTentacle> Monaco sucks balls. [20:05] <@Darth_Culator> Also, we may one day be able to implement them in other skins. [20:05] <+Kilson> If I can't enjoy it, no one shall! [20:05] <@GreenTentacle> The list goes on. [20:05] <+Kilson> Muwahahaha. [20:05] <@Cylka> I don't really care either way. [20:05] <+Tyber> Monobook won't die [20:05] <@Graestan> We will keep them, and per Imp, any of us can make the changes. [20:05] <+Jujiggum> per Cylka [20:05] <+Jaymach> if someone could be bothered to look into it, Monaco could have them [20:05] <@Graestan> Next topic: [20:05] <@jSarek> Per Tommy. Put someone who gives a damn in charge, and let them worry about it. [20:05] <+Tommy9281> I just wanted to see the thing updated. I'll just add what I want there. [20:05] <@Darth_Culator> So we'll put together a forum for it, and start the submission process again. [20:05] <+JangFett> It enhances that skin, but a lot of users use Monaco [20:05] <+Jaymach> but I doubt you'll get someone [20:05] <@Graestan> "I'm going to be putting together a list of proposed amendments to our voting eligibility policy. Main point: consensus and election voting eligibility should be a bit harder to achieve than QotD voting eligibility. MyWookieeSpace users shouldn't be allowed to vote for things that make us less of an encyclopedia. If we don't nip it in the bud, next thing you know we'll be Halopedia 2. --... [20:05] <@Graestan> ...Darth Culator (Talk) 14:38, 30 June 2009 (UTC) (link)" [20:06] <@Graestan> Moving on. [20:06] <@Riffsyphon1024> any move to make Monobook the favored skin of Wookiee? [20:06] <+IFYLOFD> I wholeheatedly support. [20:06] <+IFYLOFD> *Wholeheartedly [20:06] <+Tommy9281> I'd volunteer [20:06] <+Kilson> Me too. [20:06] <@Imperialles> Elaborate, please. [20:06] <@Darth_Culator> Just two things, really. [20:06] <+Kilson> It makes complete sense. [20:06] <@jSarek> Riffs: We ain't allowed. :-( [20:06] <@Graestan> Culator. [20:06] <@LordHydronium> I guess this'll be a CT? [20:06] <@Darth_Culator> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/User:Darth_Culator/morffoffororfforenceesce#Voting_policy_proposals [20:06] <+Jaymach> (jSarek): you are, actually :P [20:06] <@GreenTentacle> Riffsyphon1024: Always has been. ;) [20:06] <@Darth_Culator> We have the "excessive user edits" policy on WP:USER [20:06] <@jSarek> Really? Huh. [20:06] <@Riffsyphon1024> so who are we considering MyWookieeSpace users again? [20:07] <+Kilson> GotD isn't really worth much, but GA and FA voting is. [20:07] <+Kilson> Why should they be the same. [20:07] <@AdmirableAckbar> FA doesn't matter. [20:07] <@Riffsyphon1024> just to be clear [20:07] <@Graestan> For the first item: [20:07] <@ChackJadson> support Culator's idea [20:07] <@Graestan> "Regardless of the overall total number of edits, a user's combined total of content namespace, Wookieepedia:, and MediaWiki: edits must be at least double the combined total of Forum:, User:, and User_talk: namespace edits in order to vote on any matters affecting the site or other users. This does not alter the minimum requirement of fifty non-reverted main namespace edits required to vote... [20:07] <@Darth_Culator> This creates a quantifiable proportion for edits without a numeric requirement. [20:07] <@Graestan> ...on anything. This does exclude "fun" votes such as Mister/Miss Star Wars and WP:QOTD. " [20:07] <@Graestan> All in favor? [20:07] <@Graestan> Aye. [20:07] <+Mauser> support with wording on Culator's page [20:07] <@ChackJadson> aye [20:07] <@Imperialles> Aye. [20:07] <+GrandMoffTranner> Aye [20:07] <+MasterJonathan> Aye [20:07] <+IFYLOFD> Aye. [20:07] <@Darth_Culator> Support, obviously. [20:07] <+JangFett> Aye [20:07] <+CC7567> Aye aye. [20:07] <+Jujiggum> aye [20:07] <+Tyber> aye [20:07] <@AdmirableAckbar> Aye [20:07] <+Tommy9281> Yup. [20:07] <+DarthTrayus> Aye [20:07] <@Cylka> Support. [20:07] <+IFYLOFD> Aye, cap'n. [20:07] <@jSarek> Oppose. [20:07] <+Kilson> 100 edits for GA and FA voting. [20:07] <@Havac> not in favor. [20:07] <+JMAS> Aye [20:07] <@Riffsyphon1024> Ow my eyes [20:07] <+Pranay_Sobusk> Aye [20:07] <@Toprawa> Support [20:07] <@Havac> It could catch productive users. [20:07] <@Graestan> It passes. [20:07] <+Tommy9281> Per Riff [20:07] <@Riffsyphon1024> But Aye [20:07] <@SillyDan> How many MyWookieeSpace users do we even have anymore? Userpage restrictions seem to have driven most of them away. [20:07] <@Graestan> For the next: [20:08] <@Graestan> "A blocked user's votes or comments do not count on any active discussion or vote of any type (except WP:QOTD at the discretion of an administrator) for the entire duration of the block. " [20:08] <@Havac> For example, people editing on user subpages. [20:08] <@Graestan> All in favor? [20:08] <@Graestan> Stong aye. [20:08] <@ChackJadson> Yes [20:08] <+GrandMoffTranner> Aye [20:08] <+Jujiggum> aye [20:08] <@Darth_Culator> YES [20:08] <+JangFett> Aye [20:08] <@Riffsyphon1024> doesn't this seem to be going a little fast? [20:08] <@SillyDan> And user talk edits which are warnings. [20:08] <+Kilson> Aye. [20:08] <+Tyber> strong support [20:08] <@Grunny> Support [20:08] <+MasterJonathan> Aye [20:08] <@Imperialles> Yarr. [20:08] <+Tommy9281> Support [20:08] <+Mauser> Roger Roger [20:08] <@AdmirableAckbar> Aye. [20:08] <+CC7567> Aye. [20:08] <@Graestan> Banned user: nonexistent user. [20:08] <+Pranay_Sobusk> Aye. [20:08] <+DarthTrayus> Aye. [20:08] <@Cylka> support. [20:08] <+Tommy9281> Though for consistency, that should include QOTD [20:08] <+IFYLOFD> Aye. [20:08] <@Riffsyphon1024> if he's blocked, he has no say right? [20:08] <@Imperialles> Riff: welcome to Mofference 2.0 :p [20:08] <@jSarek> How can you make their comments not apply? [20:08] <+IFYLOFD> Weak aye, but aye. [20:08] <+JangFett> Per Tommy [20:08] <@Riffsyphon1024> Right, the old fart Wookiee here [20:08] <@LtNOWIS> what if it's a short block? [20:08] <@AdmirableAckbar> No, QotD doesn't matter. [20:08] <@LtNOWIS> like 3 days? [20:08] <@Darth_Culator> Making it retroactive for the kind of VOLUME on QotD is technically difficult. [20:08] <@jSarek> If someone who later got blocked made a good comment, it's still a good comment. [20:09] <@LordHydronium> per jS [20:09] <+MasterJonathan> per jSarek [20:09] <+Tommy9281> So what? Lets be consistent or be nothing at all [20:09] <@ChackJadson> no [20:09] <@ChackJadson> not per jSarek [20:09] <@Havac> I don't see a need. [20:09] <@SillyDan> Maybe only if the block is two weeks or more? [20:09] <+IFYLOFD> Strike, per Sarek. [20:09] <+Kilson> Per JS. [20:09] <@Darth_Culator> Yes, but sometimes people format TCs weird. [20:09] <@Graestan> per jS, but really only voting will be affected [20:09] <+Tyber> the comment should be considered but the vote shouldn't be counted [20:09] <@LtNOWIS> commenting has never been restricted, I don't think [20:09] <@AdmirableAckbar> per Grae [20:09] <+IFYLOFD> Set a minimum block length for this. [20:09] <@Grunny> The comment can be valid but not the vote [20:09] <@Cylka> Per Grae. [20:09] <@Darth_Culator> Okey-dokey. Comment wording goes. [20:09] <+GrandMoffTranner> Per Grae. [20:09] <+Jujiggum> oer Grae [20:09] <@Graestan> So, it passes. [20:09] <@Riffsyphon1024> I'm unsure on this one [20:09] <+IFYLOFD> If it's over two weeks. [20:09] <+Mauser> the comment counts, the vote does not [20:09] <+Tyber> indeed [20:09] <+Kilson> True enough. [20:10] <@Graestan> Next up (Chack, if I am booted for an excess flood you get the Hammer :P ): [20:10] <@Graestan> "Our current policy for administrative absences states that "if an administrator does not edit or use admin tools for four months or more, the following steps are to be taken outside of the RFRA process: 4 months' absence, attempts to communicate will be made, 5 months' absence, warning that removal will occur at 6 months, 6 months' absence, Bureaucrat will remove sysops." So basically, as... [20:10] <@Graestan> ...long as an admin edits once every six months, they won't get their adminship removed. I'd like to change this policy to something like 50 mainspace edits in 6 months (I'd actually like it to be a lot higher, say, 250, but that's probably not realistic, much to my chagrin). If an admin doesn't meet that pathetically easy minimum requirement, they should lose their power. There's no point... [20:10] <@Graestan> ...in having adminship if you're not going to use it, and believe me, we have admins that never use their power. As is, there are a couple of admins that I feel should not be admins, and I'd like to see them lose that status, but part of that is a separate issue which will hopefully be addressed in another agenda item. Anyway, I'd like to raise the minimum benchmark number of edits for... [20:10] <@Graestan> ...admins to get their power. This, and removing power from a couple other admins, is something I feel very strongly about. I believe it would be in the Wook's best interest. In conclusion, we'll talk more about this at the meeting; I just wanted to get it off my chest. Chack Jadson (Talk) 15:16, 30 June 2009 (UTC) " [20:10] <@ChackJadson> heh [20:10] <@Riffsyphon1024> well if its a comment, that's not applying towards a change in policy (any addition or deletion of content) [20:10] <@ChackJadson> my item [20:10] <@Imperialles> Sounds reasonable to me. [20:10] <+IFYLOFD> Support. [20:10] <+Kilson> I'm leaving this up to the Admin.s [20:10] <@ChackJadson> I say raise the minimum bar [20:10] <@Graestan> To be quite honest, I completely agree. [20:10] <@ChackJadson> 250 is the best, IMO [20:10] <@AdmirableAckbar> Yeah. [20:10] <+GrandMoffTranner> Support. [20:10] <@Graestan> No more absentee crap. [20:10] <+Mauser> Support [20:10] <+IFYLOFD> Aye, cap'n. [20:10] <+CC7567> Support, please. [20:10] <@Darth_Culator> Damn skippy. [20:10] <+Jujiggum> support [20:10] <+Pranay_Sobusk> Support. [20:10] <+Tommy9281> Can't fault folks for having real lives. [20:10] <+Tyber> support [20:10] <@Grunny> I think 250 at least plus a use of sysop abilities [20:10] <+DarthTrayus> Support. Strongly. [20:10] <@jSarek> Per Tommy. [20:10] <@Graestan> Anyone can make that minimal time. [20:10] <+Tommy9281> But they should make there prior obligations known ahead of time [20:10] <+MasterJonathan> per Grunny [20:10] <@ChackJadson> wait, can I amend this? [20:10] <@ChackJadson> Graestan [20:10] <+Tyber> per Grae [20:10] <@Riffsyphon1024> Yeah not really that difficult [20:11] <@Graestan> Especially those who were elected to serve the wiki. [20:11] <@AdmirableAckbar> Unless someone says they'll be away etc etc, right? [20:11] <+Kilson> Per Grae [20:11] <@Grunny> I think they should have to have used their rights to maintain them [20:11] <+MasterJonathan> par Acky [20:11] <+Tommy9281> My point [20:11] <+MasterJonathan> per* [20:11] <@ChackJadson> Graestan: can I amend it to be Grunny's policy? [20:11] <@LordHydronium> We need an amendment that allows for scheduled vacations. [20:11] <@LtNOWIS> yeah, we should be allowed to take leaves of absence and so forth [20:11] <@Riffsyphon1024> they better be overseas fighting, we might allow that [20:11] <@LordHydronium> Otherwise, against [20:11] <@Graestan> per Hydro [20:11] <@ChackJadson> we have one, Hydro [20:11] <+Jaymach> will this policy affect BCs as well as Admins? [20:11] <@LordHydronium> Oh, is there? [20:11] <@Imperialles> Yes, Jay. [20:11] <@Darth_Culator> Add "with the exception of users who clearly state prior obligations preventing editing." [20:11] <+Tyber> per hydro [20:11] <@Grunny> Yeah, if they say they are going to be away that's fine [20:11] <@Graestan> yeah, the regular vacation one [20:11] <@Imperialles> But not me. [20:11] * @Imperialles cackles [20:11] <+Tommy9281> Thanks Culator [20:11] <@Riffsyphon1024> unless they can edit from said place of conflict [20:11] <@Darth_Culator> Or something. [20:12] <@Imperialles> Per Culator. [20:12] <+MasterJonathan> 250 + use of admin powers w/ exception for stated absence [20:12] <+JMAS> Per Culator [20:12] <@SillyDan> I think 250 is too much, but 50 would be fine. [20:12] <+IFYLOFD> If they're fighting commies, it's alright with me. [20:12] <+IFYLOFD> Support. [20:12] <+Tommy9281> Per Dan [20:12] <@LordHydronium> Hm. Can we change 50 mainspace edits to 50 productive edits? [20:12] <@Riffsyphon1024> either way most people that try to get in an edit or two here shouldn't be criticized for not giving enough love to the wiki, should they? [20:12] <@GreenTentacle> 50 is fine. [20:12] <+Tommy9281> 250 seems like a bit much [20:12] <+JangFett> Per Dan [20:12] <@Graestan> per Hydro [20:12] <@LordHydronium> Because I'll often do work on a subpage [20:12] <@Havac> 250 is too many. [20:12] <@GreenTentacle> In fact, per Hydro. [20:12] <@SillyDan> Right, LH, productive. [20:12] <@LtNOWIS> edit count is an imperfect measure of actual editing [20:12] <@Riffsyphon1024> Real World is a big factor nowadays [20:12] <+GrandMoffTranner> Per Hydro. [20:12] <@Graestan> 50 /productive/ edits [20:12] <+Tyber> yeah, 50 is sufficient [20:12] <@AdmirableAckbar> per Hydro [20:12] <+Kilson> 100. [20:12] <@Havac> Per Hydro. [20:12] <@ChackJadson> 150, then? [20:12] <@jSarek> Per SillyDan and Hydro. [20:12] <@ChackJadson> no, not as low as 50 [20:12] <@Grunny> 50 is way too low [20:12] <+IFYLOFD> 150 is good. [20:12] <@LtNOWIS> 50 is low [20:12] <+Tyber> ok, then 100 [20:12] <@AdmirableAckbar> if someone's abusing it then they can be called out on it [20:12] <+Tommy9281> Nah, 50 is fine [20:12] <+DarthTrayus> 100 sounds good. [20:12] <@ChackJadson> strong oppose on my part to 50 [20:12] <@Riffsyphon1024> you can make 5000 crappy edits but 10 real good ones [20:12] <+Tommy9281> Per Ackbar [20:13] <+Kilson> 100. [20:13] <@Graestan> you'd be surprised how few we've seen from some, Chack [20:13] <@GreenTentacle> 50 is fine. [20:13] <@ChackJadson> 150, 100 minimum [20:13] <+JangFett> 50 sounds reasonable [20:13] <@Havac> 50 is fine. [20:13] <@Grunny> How about 50 mainspace [20:13] <+Kilson> Those 5000 crappy edits would be mine. :P [20:13] <@Graestan> I am for 50 [20:13] <+DarthTrayus> 150 is too high [20:13] <@Imperialles> How do we define "productive"? [20:13] <@ChackJadson> am I gonna lose this? [20:13] <@Havac> Some people make few, but large edits. [20:13] <+Tommy9281> 50 [20:13] <@Riffsyphon1024> 50 mainspace [20:13] <+GrandMoffTranner> I'm for 50. [20:13] <+Jujiggum> 50 mainspace [20:13] <@ChackJadson> :| [20:13] <@Grunny> Plus 150 total [20:13] <+Kilson> I still say 100. [20:13] <@ChackJadson> wtf is going on? [20:13] <+Tommy9281> Flat 50 [20:13] <+Tyber> Imp: non-spam [20:13] <+DarthTrayus> 50's good. [20:13] <+Jaymach> 50 edits in how long a period of time? [20:13] <@Grunny> So 150 total, 50 of which must be mainspace [20:13] <@Cylka> I would be happier with 100 mainspace [20:13] <@Havac> Chack, if it's still a problem, we can come back to it later and raise it. [20:13] <+Tommy9281> Stop trying to force folks to do stuff when they have other things going on [20:13] <+IFYLOFD> Chack: Democracy. :P [20:13] <+Jujiggum> per Grun [20:13] <@LtNOWIS> Per Hydro [20:13] <+Pranay_Sobusk> Per Grunny. [20:13] <@AdmirableAckbar> Imp: contributing to a mainspace page or mediawiki page or user workbench, stuff of that ilk [20:13] <@jSarek> Per Havac. I did a featured article nom all in one edit. [20:13] <@Grunny> But 50 is way too easy over that length of time [20:13] <@ChackJadson> Grunny's idea is food [20:13] <@LtNOWIS> er, Havac [20:14] <@ChackJadson> strong support that [20:14] <@SillyDan> Maybe we should CT the number? [20:14] <+Jaymach> 50 in the 4 month period, 6 month period, or 12 month period? [20:14] <@Cylka> You only need 50 mainspace to vote on the Wook. [20:14] <+MasterJonathan> per Dan [20:14] <+Tommy9281> Which is why if fifty can't be met, there is a problem [20:14] <+Jujiggum> per Dan [20:14] <+GrandMoffTranner> Per Dan. [20:14] <+Tommy9281> Meh [20:14] <@Riffsyphon1024> if they dont meet the 50, does that ban them from voting, thus creating more difficulty in editing? [20:14] <+Tommy9281> We're here now, lets solve it now [20:14] <@Grunny> That's the point if they can't meet 50 they shouldn't be an admin [20:14] <@Graestan> per TOmmy [20:14] <@Graestan> per Tommy entirely [20:14] <+Tommy9281> Folks have real lives [20:14] <@ChackJadson> no Riff [20:14] <@Graestan> let's vote on number right now [20:14] <@Grunny> If you accept the responsibility you should be around enough [20:14] <+Tommy9281> IF they can't make 50, there must be a reason [20:14] <@ChackJadson> they already have 50 [20:14] <+Tyber> i say 100 [20:15] <+Kilson> Per Tyber. [20:15] <+JangFett> 150 [20:15] <@Riffsyphon1024> understood, I support the min of 50 [20:15] <@ChackJadson> fine, are we voting now? [20:15] <@Grunny> Okay, how about this for the vote [20:15] <@Graestan> yes [20:15] <@Cylka> 50 is needed to vote, an admin should have a higher minimum. [20:15] <@Riffsyphon1024> below that is pathetic [20:15] <@Havac> CT the numbers. [20:15] <+MasterJonathan> 50 mainspace, 100 productive [20:15] <+Tommy9281> Per Ackbar's earlier statement. [20:15] <@Havac> Let's move on. [20:15] <@ChackJadson> 150 [20:15] <@AdmirableAckbar> Tommy: if they state the reason, it doesn't apply to them anyway though.

[20:18] <+Tyber> just arrange everything chronological [20:18] <@Imperialles> Hydro has a point, we should perhaps look into eliminating them entirely. [20:18] <@Graestan> are there even rules requiring succession boxes at all? [20:18] <@ChackJadson> Kilson: Nooo [20:18] <@LtNOWIS> I support sucession boxes [20:18] <@Riffsyphon1024> Kilson: they're part of the article [20:18] <@LordHydronium> Grae: It's in the MOS [20:19] <@LordHydronium> Or LG [20:19] <@Graestan> oi [20:19] <@LordHydronium> Whichever that is [20:19] <+Tyber> per Hydro [20:19] <@Imperialles> They are not really meant for our format.

[20:19] <@Toprawa> Kill all succession boxes. Period. [20:19] <@LordHydronium> For things with a specific series, they're good [20:19] <@Havac> I don't see any reason to eliminate succession boxes. The templates don't /need/ years; they're about collecting names in a bunch.

[20:19] <+MasterJonathan> I would support killing them entirely [20:19] <@ChackJadson> eh, Acky has a point [20:19] <@Havac> Sticking years in templates does not make them replace succession boxes. [20:19] <@Graestan> this is too jumbled [20:19] <@AdmirableAckbar> killing them entirely isn't the topic though [20:19] <@Graestan> I believe a CT would be best [20:19] <@Havac> It's the templates that shouldn't try to replicate succession boxes. [20:19] <@Riffsyphon1024> I say we CT it [20:19] <@Imperialles> I propose we create a standard, good-looking box akin to those linked in the original proposal.

[20:22] <@ChackJadson> Jaymach: :| [20:22] <@Graestan> the old argument was that the shrunken text looks dodgy in thumbs [20:22] <@Havac> If you can have an intact bubble, and one cropped bubble where you blanked an H, what's the harm? [20:22] <@Riffsyphon1024> we're only using the pictures, not copying the whole comic [20:22] <+Jaymach> (ChackJadson): not a joke [20:22] <@LordHydronium> Big empty ugly-ass spaces in the middle of the thing [20:22] <+DarthTrayus> No "ifs" [20:22] <+CC7567> If no bubbles are cut off, then it can be decided, but if text is cut off, then you blank. [20:22] <@Graestan> I see no point in pbeing overly picky [20:22] <@ChackJadson> oh [20:22] <+Mauser> per Jaymach [20:22] <+Kilson> Having the text there makes it look retarded. [20:22] <+Mauser> let the uploader decide [20:22] <@Riffsyphon1024> it would be nice if someone could photoshop out the bubbles [20:22] <+Kilson> It makes the article look like a comic. [20:22] <+MasterJonathan> Blank all if any text is cut off. [20:22] <+Kilson> Not like an article. [20:22] <@ChackJadson> wait, should we discuss Jaymach's thought then? [20:23] <@Riffsyphon1024> that's because they came from a comic [20:23] <+Tyber> Riff: that's not always possible [20:23] <+JangFett> I like seeing the words instead of seeing ugly white blank bubbles [20:23] <@jSarek> Riffs: And make up background? That's fanon imagery. [20:23] <@Imperialles> Would be nice to get source material without bubbles, but hey. [20:23] <@LordHydronium> Having text out of there makes it look like a comic someone used MSPaint on [20:23] <@Riffsyphon1024> that is true [20:23] <@Havac> I don't support blanking all. [20:23] <@Cylka> Riff: It takes a lot of time to do. [20:23] <@LtNOWIS> The words are part of the canonical reality [20:23] <+Fiolli> Ii agree with Havac. [20:23] <+Jaymach> meh, we breach fair use completely already :P I just don't think you should enforce a rule -making- people break it [20:23] <+Kilson> Sometimes, the text is the same as a quote. [20:23] <@Riffsyphon1024> then if we're editing the bubble, isn't that technically fanon too? [20:23] <+Kilson> That just looks stupid. [20:23] <@Havac> There are some that look fine with one partial bubble blanked and other bubbles intact. [20:23] <@LordHydronium> Per Hav [20:23] <@Havac> If it doesn't look good, then take it up individually. [20:23] <+Fiolli> I agree with Havac, here. [20:23] <@Graestan> SO, what are we doing? So far consensus is no to Jonathan's, yes to Culator's. [20:23] <+Tyber> it's possible for backgrounds in one color but not with complex structures [20:23] <@LtNOWIS> If you made speach bubbles on a picture of Churchill, it would be no less representative of reality [20:23] <@Grunny> I think if one's blanked they all should be [20:23] <@Riffsyphon1024> I say we blank em, all of em [20:23] <+JangFett> I'd say don't modify the sourced image and leave the text in the bubble [20:23] <@Grunny> It looks ugly otherwise [20:24] <+Mauser> no rule needed - let the uploader decide [20:24] <@Grunny> Consistent one way or the other [20:24] <@Darth_Culator> I rather like Mauser's idea. [20:24] <@Riffsyphon1024> it will still be overridden anyway [20:24] <@Grunny> Same [20:24] <@Cylka> Personally I like blanking all, but we probably shouldn't. [20:24] <+GrandMoffTranner> Per Cylka. [20:24] <@jSarek> My rule of thumb would be only blank when the text of a bubble is no longer legible, but that's just me. [20:24] <+Tyber> per cylka [20:24] <+Kilson> I think blanking all look better. [20:24] <@Grunny> I don't think it should be up to the individual [20:24] <+MasterJonathan> per Kilson [20:24] <+Tyber> per kilson [20:24] <@Grunny> Per Mauser [20:24] <+DarthTrayus> Per Kilson. [20:24] <@Cylka> Per Grunny. [20:24] <@Riffsyphon1024> but then what if the bubble includes speech that is relevant to that frame? [20:24] <+Kilson> Blanking partially look unprofesional. [20:24] <+Fiolli> It might "look" better, but we cannot force people to break the law too contribute.

[20:24] <@LordHydronium> Too many "pers", I have no idea who's voting for what [20:25] <@ChackJadson> Per Nuku [20:25] <@Havac> Blanking partially only sometimes looks bad. [20:25] <@Darth_Culator> ...the hell? [20:25] <+Kilson> OK, vote now. [20:25] <@Riffsyphon1024> support to blank all [20:25] <@Havac> Lots of times it looks fine. [20:25] <+Kilson> Who wants partial. [20:25] <@ChackJadson> wait, who triggered Nuku? [20:25] <@Imperialles> Oppose leaving it up to the uploaders. Uploaders are idiots. [20:25] <+JangFett> I'd like keeping the text in the bubbles. Blanking will just void the image and violate the source. [20:25] <+MasterJonathan> blank all [20:25] <+Tommy9281> Per Hydro lol [20:25] <@Grunny> I think leaving it up to the uploader may be messy [20:25] <+Kilson> Yeah, I'm one of them. [20:25] <@Riffsyphon1024> be consistent [20:25] <+IFYLOFD> Per Imp. [20:25] <@Cylka> Oppose leaving it to individuals. [20:25] <+MasterJonathan> don't leave it to the uploader [20:25] <@AdmirableAckbar> This is going nowhere. [20:25] <+Kilson> Per Riff. [20:25] <+JangFett> Per Imp [20:25] <@GreenTentacle> ChackJadson: Me, about 10 minutes ago. :P [20:25] <+Tommy9281> Per Ackbar [20:25] <@Graestan> per Acky 9_9 [20:25] <+Tyber> Riff: i don't know where this would be necessary [20:25] <+Kilson> We need to be consistant. [20:25] <@ChackJadson> ah [20:25] <@Grunny> I say if they are all intact leave them that way, if one speech bubble is blank them all [20:25] <@AdmirableAckbar> hate to say it, let's just bloody CT this [20:25] <+IFYLOFD> This is chaotic. Just CT it. [20:26] <@Riffsyphon1024> another one [20:26] <@Graestan> I am calling this a *no decision; CT if you really care that much* [20:26] <@Havac> Yeah. [20:26] <@jSarek> CT. [20:26] <@AdmirableAckbar> there's like five issues being mashed into one [20:26] <+GrandMoffTranner> CT it. [20:26] <@Graestan> NEXT! [20:26] <+CC7567> Just CT already. [20:26] <@Darth_Culator> Gah!

[20:29] <+Fiolli> Oppose. [20:29] <@Graestan> We're not the damn Thought Police [20:29] <+DarthTrayus> support. [20:29] <@LordHydronium> I mean things like PMs. [20:29] <+Fiolli> Sorry, Imp. [20:29] <+Tommy9281> But they always do [20:29] <@Riffsyphon1024> neutral at the moment [20:29] <@Havac> If someone PMs someone else and harasses them, there's no reason to say that's inadmissible. [20:29] <@Havac> We've used offsite behavior to justify /bans/ in the past. [20:29] <@LordHydronium> We already ban people for harrassing others outside official channels. [20:29] <@jSarek> I mean, Graestan mentioned part of my last name when he greeted me. What if I'd decided to remove that from my user page sometime in the past few days and he didn't know? [20:29] <@GreenTentacle> Oppose. [20:29] <@LordHydronium> Per Havac [20:29] <@Havac> I don't think we need to make it bannable to bring up offsite stuff. [20:30] <@Grunny> But conversations that are meant to be private should stay that way [20:30] <@GreenTentacle> Personal information is totally unacceptable. [20:30] <+Kilson> Look at Goodwood, we used something like this in the past. [20:30] <@Havac> This is a huge overreaction.

[20:30] <+IFYLOFD> If used in bad faith.

[20:30] <@Graestan> Someone's /address/ came into play recently [20:30] <@Riffsyphon1024> I say bad faith [20:30] <+Kilson> Like making fun of someone because he or she is gay. [20:30] <@jSarek> Per Tent. [20:30] <+Kilson> That should not be allowed, anywhere. [20:30] <@Havac> We can take things play-by-play. [20:30] <+JMAS> Pet GT [20:30] <@Graestan> There will naturally be admin discretion and plenty of discussion, I am certain [20:30] <+Tommy9281> Shame on them for making that sort of info known, but nevertheless, it shouldn't be used to harass them. [20:30] <@jSarek> We should have safety rules for whistleblowers, not harsh punishments. [20:31] <@Havac> If someone researches someone's address and posts it, then that's harassment already and can justify a ban. [20:31] <@LordHydronium> Grae: I frankly don't trust admin discretion here. [20:31] <+Tommy9281> Per JSarek [20:31] <+IFYLOFD> Use it on a case-by-case basis. [20:31] <+Tommy9281> This Isn't the Empire [20:31] <@Grunny> I think it's a touchy area, if it's just harrassment then it should be admissible, but if it's personal conversations then no [20:31] <@Havac> But per Hydro. [20:31] <+Tommy9281> Why don't folks just keep their personal BI to themselves? [20:31] <+Tommy9281> That would solve alot [20:31] <@ChackJadson> there's a difference between harassment and giving out personal info here [20:31] <+Fiolli> Agreed. [20:31] <+MasterJonathan> per Tommy [20:31] <@Riffsyphon1024> people are people [20:31] <+Tyber> Hydro: it should be that way [20:31] <@Grunny> Per Chack [20:31] <@Graestan> it's personal until someone /else/ decides to make it public [20:31] <+Tommy9281> I guess so [20:31] <+Jujiggum> per Chack [20:31] <+Fiolli> Do we need another safeguard against stupidity? [20:31] <@Havac> We don't need a blanket YOU ARE BANNED rule for bringing up offsite points. [20:31] <+Kilson> Do you want to pass rules against personal info. [20:31] <+Tommy9281> Fiolli: Apparently lol [20:31] <@Graestan> Alright, then: [20:32] <@ChackJadson> strong per Chack :P [20:32] <+Fiolli> I guess. [20:32] <@Riffsyphon1024> sounds too harsh to me [20:32] <@Havac> It's not personal if you put it out on the web where someone can get at it. :p [20:32] <+Kilson> Because then I might not be able to say I like PIE. [20:32] <@Riffsyphon1024> i.e. Facebook [20:32] <@Graestan> I propose it again, minus "private conversations" [20:32] <+Tyber> everyone knows you like pie :P [20:32] <@Graestan> Now? [20:32] <+Jaymach> you could always word it so that, should someone bring up personal information, then the regular banning policy is to be followed [20:32] <@Havac> Still opposed. [20:32] <+Jaymach> eg. warning, small ban, larger ban [20:32] <@Darth_Culator> I supported before, I still support. [20:32] <+MasterJonathan> Grae: support [20:32] <+Kilson> True enough. [20:32] <@Grunny> Still strong support [20:32] <@Riffsyphon1024> warning [20:32] <@jSarek> Per Jaymach. [20:32] <@GreenTentacle> Per Jaymach. [20:32] <@AdmirableAckbar> Support.

[20:32] <@AdmirableAckbar> (with leeway for mistakes, accidents etc etc) [20:32] <+Jaymach> you can warn someone, remove the edit, then if they put it in again then give them a ban [20:32] <@jSarek> Oppose in its current state. [20:32] <+Mauser> per Jaymach [20:32] <@SillyDan> Per Jaymach [20:32] <+DarthTrayus> support Jaymach [20:32] <@Riffsyphon1024> just referencing access to personal information Havac [20:33] <+Tyber> per jaymach, again [20:33] <+IFYLOFD> Oppose in its current state. [20:33] <@Cylka> Per Jaymach, but make the banning stricter. [20:33] <+Kilson> It depends on the offense. [20:33] <@Riffsyphon1024> per Ack [20:33] <@Havac> Strong oppose. [20:33] <+IFYLOFD> Take it on a case-by-case basis. [20:33] <@Grunny> Floyd vote once, it's confusing the vote counting :P [20:33] <+JangFett> Per Kilson [20:33] <@Cylka> Not permaban immediately. [20:33] <+Tyber> per kilson [20:33] <@Havac> Case by case. [20:33] <+Kilson> If someone is making death threats. [20:33] <+Kilson> They should be immediately banned. [20:33] <@Riffsyphon1024> per Kilson [20:33] <@Imperialles> Death threats? Come on. [20:33] <+Tommy9281> Maturity had gone out the door. [20:33] <+JangFett> Per Pie man [20:33] <+Jaymach> if someone is making death threats then it's already covered by other rules [20:33] <+Tommy9281> Who the hell is making death threats now [20:33] <@Darth_Culator> It has happened. [20:33] <+Kilson> You would be surprised. [20:33] <+Tommy9281> I guess so. [20:33] <+Tyber> meh. [20:33] <+JangFett> Imp: It can happen [20:33] <@Riffsyphon1024> that's just inexcusable [20:34] <+Jaymach> WP:PA already allows people to be banned immediately [20:34] <@Havac> Anything genuinely bannable here should already be covered by other rules. [20:34] <+Jaymach> bah, WP:NPA [20:34] <@LordHydronium> Per Hav [20:34] <@Riffsyphon1024> no different than trolls [20:34] <+Kilson> But if you're calling some guy names. [20:34] <+Jaymach> this is just a rule to cover information being given [20:34] <+Tommy9281> Define troll [20:34] <+Kilson> Give the guy a warning. [20:34] <+IFYLOFD> If there's death threats the person should be banned anyway. [20:34] <+Fiolli> agree with Havac and Jaymach. [20:34] <+Tommy9281> IF there is a death threat then get the damn authorities involved. Sheesh. [20:34] <@Imperialles> Ok, bit of a derailing here. Do we have consensus, or not? [20:34] <@Grunny> This is turning messy [20:34] <@Havac> Any new rule is just going to cause problems. [20:34] <+Kilson> We need to make a case by case rule through CT. [20:34] <+Tommy9281> Been messy. [20:34] <@Riffsyphon1024> case by case CT [20:34] <+Tyber> Grae: consensus? [20:34] <@ChackJadson> /Per Grunny/ [20:34] <@Darth_Culator> I think the "per Jaymach"s had it. [20:34] <@Graestan> alright, per Jaymach clause of warnings minus "private conversations," it *passes* [20:34] <@Graestan> NEXT! [20:34] <@Riffsyphon1024> scratch CT [20:35] <@Darth_Culator> Since that is effectively case-by-case. [20:35] <+Fiolli> We don't need another CT, we just need to take a moment and vote organized. [20:35] <@LordHydronium> Kilson: We have a case by case rule. It's all our current policies. [20:35] <@SillyDan> Sounds good to me. [20:35] <@ChackJadson> next! [20:35] <@Graestan> "Discussion on democratization: There are a number of policies and other official items on the site which were never voted on by the user base, and this concerns me. I'd like to invite users to feel free to bring forward any policies that need revision or that they would like to see voted on as opposed to the early unilateral adapting-from-Wikipedia format. Wookieepedia has functioned... [20:35] <@Graestan> ...extremely well in a largely democratic format for some time, and I feel that users should have some say in every process on the site.

[20:35] <@Toprawa> Support [20:35] <@Graestan> I am just asking for people's opinions. [20:35] <@Grunny> The community should be able to vote on anything [20:35] <@Darth_Culator> Anything that was imported needs at least a rubber stamp. [20:35] <@LordHydronium> We can CT out anything we don't like. Oppose. [20:35] <@Havac> You can already bring anything up to CT you want to. [20:35] <@ChackJadson> Mauser: so [20:35] <@Graestan> A lot ofthis crapis outdated. [20:35] <+Jaymach> you could always put current CTs in the SiteNotice :P [20:35] <@ChackJadson> that's not a reason to not do it [20:35] <@Riffsyphon1024> which crap [20:35] <@ChackJadson> a lot [20:35] <@Imperialles> Why support? There has been no proposal. Muppets. [20:36] <@Graestan> LH: This isn't an auto-vote, just a field for opinion. [20:36] <+Kilson> It is only fair to relatively new users. [20:36] <@GreenTentacle> Meh. People have always been free to CT any old policies they disagree with. [20:36] <@Havac> This is nothing but saying "You can CT rules we have and you don't like." [20:36] <@Graestan> I am wondering what people feel [20:36] <@LordHydronium> point :P [20:36] <@jSarek> Per Tent. [20:36] <@Graestan> Mofference isn't just votes ;) [20:36] <@LordHydronium> What GT said, then [20:36] <@ChackJadson> but it's rules that were never voted on [20:36] <+Kilson> It's name calling. [20:36] <@ChackJadson> just adopted! [20:36] <+Mauser> let's approve them all right now and move on ;) [20:36] <@ChackJadson> how should this not be CT'd? [20:36] <+IFYLOFD> Per WP:NOT. [20:36] <@ChackJadson> not approved, I mean [20:36] <@Graestan> This will be CTed [20:36] <+MasterJonathan> per Mauser [20:36] <@Graestan> Inquest after all the support I see [20:36] <+IFYLOFD> Rules that we adopted from Wikipedia. [20:36] <@Havac> If there's a specific proposal, CT it. [20:36] <@Darth_Culator> More like "you can CT rules we imported without procedure without people bitching at you for it." [20:36] <@ChackJadson> Yes, CT them all, democracy! [20:36] <+Kilson> Wikipedia has some good rules. [20:37] <@jSarek> Grae: Other than maybe a SH brainstorming session to find things that might be outdated, I'm not sure what we could do that would be different from our current situation. [20:37] <@Riffsyphon1024> involves quite a bit of the wiki then, should be CT'd itself [20:37] <@LordHydronium> Culator: People shouldn't be bitching at others for CTs anyway [20:37] <@Imperialles> WP:MoS was crafted with basically no community input. [20:37] <@Cylka> Per Culator. [20:37] <+Tyber> it should already have passed [20:37] <+JangFett> WP:BOLD, and others that were adapted. [20:37] <@Imperialles> WP:LG as well... [20:37] <@SillyDan> You can CT rules we adopted under procedure too anyway, though. [20:37] <@LordHydronium> Change from the status quo is not a bad thing. [20:37] <@Cylka> Some users are afraid to CT long established but not quite great policies. [20:37] <+Tyber> per cylka [20:37] <@Riffsyphon1024> but that would indicate that no one can challenge anything that's been laid down [20:37] <+Mauser> I tried to improve the naming conventions: the page still has most examples from Wikipedia. It failled, but I'll try again [20:37] <@Graestan> Not me anymore. ;) [20:37] <@LordHydronium> Some users don't like the reverse either, to be fair. :P [20:37] <@Grunny> Plus I think democracy is the important thing here [20:37] <+JangFett> Per Grunny [20:37] <@ChackJadson> Per Grunny [20:38] <@Riffsyphon1024> things get reversed all the time [20:38] <+MasterJonathan> per Grunny [20:38] <@LordHydronium> We should be less concerned with democracy than consensus, but that's another rant [20:38] <+Kilson> Wikis are founded on democracy. [20:38] <+Jaymach> the only way to -really- implement this would be to CT every single rule that's on the site -just in case- there's any disagreement [20:38] <+Pranay_Sobusk> Per Grunny and Cylka. [20:38] <+Kilson> You vote on what it will look like. [20:38] <+Jaymach> you're better leaving it as it is [20:38] <+Tommy9281> Per Jaymach [20:38] <+Kilson> How things are decided. [20:38] <@LtNOWIS> Per Jaymach [20:38] <+Jaymach> people can vote if they see something they dislike [20:38] <+Mauser> do we need 15 CT threads at one time? [20:38] <@Grunny> I say make a list in an SH thread [20:38] <@Darth_Culator> Open it up as a request for comments on the senate hall and move on. [20:38] <+Jaymach> if they don't see something they dislike, why vote? [20:38] <@Graestan> Well, anyone with anything they want me to look at, feel free to let me know [20:38] <@Graestan> NEXT! [20:38] <+MasterJonathan> per Culator [20:38] <@Graestan> "There are many articles that have several cleanup tags at the top, which can be really annoying when reading (for example this article has 4 tags before you can read its intro). I'd like to propose to tag these articles with just one template that lists all issues instead of several tags. A draft of such a template can be found here. Pranay Sobusk ~ Talk 13:35, 12 July 2009 (UTC) " [20:38] <@Grunny> And do a CT to end all CTs [20:38] <@Graestan> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/User:Pranay_Sobusk/Template:Article_issues [20:38] <@Graestan> I like this. [20:39] <@ChackJadson> looks good to me [20:39] <@Imperialles> Horrible colors. [20:39] <+Tyber> me too [20:39] <@SillyDan> Yes! [20:39] <@Riffsyphon1024> support [20:39] <@GreenTentacle> Graestan: Deja vu. :p [20:39] <+Jujiggum> Stron Support [20:39] <+Mauser> what's the proposed template? [20:39] <+Jujiggum> *strong [20:39] <+Kilson> OK, move the tags to the talk page. [20:39] <+Jaymach> cleanup tags should be on the talk page [20:39] <@Imperialles> Good in theory, needs to be implemented better. [20:39] <@AdmirableAckbar> Support, it can be tweaked if necessary. [20:39] <+Jaymach> it's retarded to have them on the actual article [20:39] <+Fiolli> Agree. [20:39] <@ChackJadson> Imp: what would you prefer? [20:39] <@Graestan> Imp: Feel free to tweak them. ;) [20:39] <+DarthTrayus> Support, alter the temp [20:39] <@LordHydronium> I dunno, lots of tags sort of helps signal a complete disaster. [20:39] <+Kilson> Makes thing easier. [20:39] <+Tyber> but i would say that the issues should be explained [20:39] <@ChackJadson> yeah, we can change it [20:39] <@Darth_Culator> Nice template idea. Bad colors. [20:39] <+JangFett> But what exactly do the suggested tags mean? people might get confused [20:39] <@Riffsyphon1024> did we fix the colors on the template? [20:39] <+Kilson> And nicer to look at. [20:39] <@Havac> The template is horrible. [20:39] <+CC7567> Support and alter. [20:39] <@Imperialles> No, Jay, they should not. Certain tags, sure, but not cleanup/accuracy ones. [20:39] <@Havac> The idea is great. [20:39] <+Jaymach> it doesn't bring it to someone's attention, it just makes it look nasty [20:39] <+IFYLOFD> Strong support, but change the template. [20:39] <+Tyber> alter the colors [20:39] <+Jaymach> accuracy ones, fair enough [20:39] <@LtNOWIS> We need at least one tag on a jacked up article to indicate its crappiness [20:39] <@Riffsyphon1024> better colors, then I'll support the template [20:39] <@Graestan> Who gives a crap what it looks like right now, it's a great idea. [20:39] <@LtNOWIS> So people are forewarned [20:39] <+JangFett> I'd say Hide/Show the Tags. [20:39] <+Kilson> I agree witht the idea. [20:39] <+Jujiggum> Per Grae [20:39] * SirTopHat (n=sth@[REDACTED]) has joined #wookieepedia [20:39] <@ChackJadson> Per Grae [20:39] <+Jaymach> cleanup ones though? who needs to know that an article has too many redlinks [20:39] <+IFYLOFD> Alter the colors. [20:39] <@Graestan> Who supports with provisions? [20:39] <@Riffsyphon1024> welcome Sir [20:39] <@Graestan> Me. [20:39] <+Mauser> sorry, but that template is bad [20:39] <+Jaymach> if they can't see that themselves then they're idiots [20:39] <+MasterJonathan> Support the idea, hate the color [20:39] <+Kilson> But we need the tags on the talk page. [20:39] <@ChackJadson> support [20:39] <+Tyber> JangFett: it's already in there [20:40] <@Cylka> Great idea. I agree we should tweak the template a bit. [20:40] <@Imperialles> The idea is good, but passing it here would just lead to it being spewed everywhere in its current form. [20:40] <@AdmirableAckbar> Support with provisions. [20:40] <@Imperialles> Fix, then implement. [20:40] <+Tyber> support [20:40] <@Darth_Culator> Set it up like the new Appearances CT. [20:40] <@Grunny> Support [20:40] <@Riffsyphon1024> every article tagged with redlinks allows people to fill those redlinks [20:40] <+Jujiggum> support [20:40] <@Graestan> The template idea *passes* - per Imp on fixing then implementing [20:40] <+JangFett> I'd say alter the "Excessive tags" and show/hide tags like, ect [20:40] <+JMAS> Agreed that good template, must have better colors [20:40] <@LordHydronium> CT it so we can hammer out a good idea of the specifics [20:40] <+Mauser> just make them Hidden by default [20:40] <+Kilson> I vote it be red. [20:40] <@LordHydronium> Like when to use it. [20:40] <@GreenTentacle> Per LH. [20:40] <@Havac> Just pass it, and someone will change the colors on the template five minutes after it's official. [20:40] <@jSarek> Per Hydro. [20:40] <@Cylka> How about we CT which tags should be left out of the new template. [20:40] <+Jaymach> (Riffsyphon1024): but does every single user wanting to read about something have to see that an article has too many redlinks? or could the template be on the talk page, and thus allow people to still find them through the category? [20:40] <@Graestan> per Cylka [20:40] <@Imperialles> It's not just the colors... [20:40] <@Imperialles> Get Xwing to take a swing at it. [20:40] <+CC7567> Let's say support the /idea/, and CT the /specifics/. [20:40] <@Cylka> Oops. :-P Per Hydro. [20:41] <+Tyber> i have seen articles with 4 templates... [20:41] <+MasterJonathan> per CC [20:41] <@Graestan> anyhow, it will be pursues, that's what's important [20:41] <@Graestan> NEXT! [20:41] <+JangFett> Per CC [20:41] <@Darth_Culator> I like to avoid CTing things, but this /should/ be sent to a committee. :-P [20:41] <@Riffsyphon1024> Jay: I'm all for announcing faults to better the wiki [20:41] <@Havac> Pass the implementation. [20:41] <@jSarek> Per CC. [20:41] <+JMAS> Per CC7567 [20:41] <@Havac> Leave the implementation up to CT. [20:41] <@Graestan> "Standardizing colon use for articles on OOU works with "Star Wars" in the title. Essentially, "Star Wars: Empire" versus "Star Wars Empire". --Imperialles 19:44, 12 July 2009 (UTC) " [20:41] <+Mauser> Oh, there comes the tricky one [20:41] <+DarthTrayus> Anyway [20:41] <@Graestan> support, and finally [20:41] <@Imperialles> Basically, I propose that we follow the publishers. If a publisher uses the colon, we go for that (as is the case with Star Wars: Empire, Star Wars: The Old Republic, etc). If they do not use the colon (Star Wars Galaxies) we follow that. [20:41] <@LordHydronium> I will not watch my articles suffer and die while you discuss these issues in a committee! [20:41] <@Darth_Culator> Hoboy. [20:41] <@SillyDan> Per Imp. [20:41] <+Kilson> That's tricky. [20:41] <@AdmirableAckbar> Sure, support. [20:41] <@Havac> I agree. [20:41] <+JangFett> Per Imp [20:41] <+Tyber> support, go on [20:41] <+Kilson> But I think it makes sense. [20:41] <+IFYLOFD> Per Imp. [20:41] <+Fiolli> I agree with Imp. [20:41] <+DarthTrayus> sypport [20:41] <@Havac> Also, we have some issues with comics articles not even being consistent. [20:41] <@ChackJadson> support [20:41] <+Kilson> It is the official name after all. [20:41] <+Pranay_Sobusk> Per Imp. [20:41] <+Tommy9281> Support [20:41] <@LtNOWIS> Don't see any downside [20:41] <@LordHydronium> I like Imp's idea [20:41] <@GreenTentacle> Per Imp. [20:41] <+Mauser> Imagine Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Slaves of the Republic: Chapter 1: Mystery of Kiros [20:41] <+Tommy9281> keep it movin [20:41] <@Havac> We have "Star Wars: Empire" for the series. [20:41] <+Kilson> support. [20:41] <@Riffsyphon1024> what articles don't follow this already? [20:41] <@Darth_Culator> Right then. Time to give the site a colonic. :| [20:41] <+JangFett> You can't say, Star Wars: Galaxies [20:41] <+Mauser> there's another issue [20:42] <+Jaymach> I still think we should have "Star Wars" in the title for everything that has it on the cover [20:42] <@Havac> But all individual articles are at "Star Wars Empire: ISSUE ISSUE". [20:42] <@jSarek> Are teh publishers always consistent? [20:42] <@Grunny> Support, as long as we're consistent [20:42] <@LordHydronium> Hav: We also have some articles from a series one way, and some the other way [20:42] <+Jaymach> but that's another similar issue [20:42] <@Riffsyphon1024> keep Star Wars in the title [20:42] <@LordHydronium> I think Republic might do that [20:42] <+Mauser> we can't follow the publisher because they name comics with a # [20:42] <@Havac> That needs to be fixed. [20:42] <@LordHydronium> Some are colon'd, some aren't [20:42] <@Imperialles> Havac: No, we don't. I fixed it long ago. [20:42] <@LordHydronium> Someone half-changed them, [20:42] <+Kilson> Then don't colon the none colons. [20:42] <@Imperialles> The other series, however, are at Star Wars Blah. [20:42] <+Mauser> and wikia doesn't allow # in names [20:42] <@LordHydronium> Oh, wait, maybe that was Imp fully changing them :P [20:42] <@Riffsyphon1024> or Star Wars Legacy: issue, versus Star Wars Legacy [20:42] <@LordHydronium> nm [20:42] <+Kilson> Video games don't usually have colons. [20:42] <@Riffsyphon1024> rather Star Wars: Legacy [20:42] <+Tyber> Star Wars Galaxies doesn't need colons [20:42] <+MasterJonathan> Meh. [20:42] <+JangFett> Per Mauser " Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Slaves of the Republic: Chapter 1: Mystery of Kiros" Way to much colon use. I'd say it depends on the author [20:42] <+Kilson> And yet we put colons. [20:42] <+Kilson> It makes no sense. [20:43] <@jSarek> Mauser: Which is why that's one area specifically where we deviate due to site limitations. [20:43] <@Graestan> hey, if it's what the publisher says, we do it [20:43] <@Imperialles> Depends on what author? [20:43] <@Havac> Use the colons if that's what belongs there. [20:43] <@Graestan> that is what makes sense [20:43] <@Havac> It doesn't matter how many there are. [20:43] <+Tommy9281> Per Graestan [20:43] <@Imperialles> Per Havac. [20:43] <@Riffsyphon1024> we should seek the publisher/author [20:43] <+Mauser> also two or more colons in a name looks ugly [20:43] <@Havac> We're not here to "fix" LFL's aesthetics. [20:43] <@AdmirableAckbar> Per Grae, per Havac. [20:43] <+IFYLOFD> Per Grae. [20:43] <@Graestan> we should not impose our own interpretations /ever/ [20:43] <+Jaymach> I love how we use full titles for comics, but shortened titles for novels [20:43] <@ChackJadson> per Grae and Hav [20:43] <+Pranay_Sobusk> Per Grae. [20:43] <@ChackJadson> Jaymach: :| [20:43] <@Grunny> Per Grae [20:43] <@LordHydronium> Hav said what that thing is I vote [20:43] <+JangFett> Imp: I mean the publication. All Star Wars material don't use colons. [20:43] <+Jaymach> eg. that TCW comic versus "Omen" [20:43] <@jSarek> Per Graestan. Still, I think some kind of guideline when publishers AREN'T consistent may be warranted. [20:43] <@ChackJadson> we're inconsistent that way [20:43] <+Kilson> I don't care if it's Star Wars: Bla Blah: #Blah: Blah: Blah. [20:43] <@ChackJadson> :P [20:43] <@Darth_Culator> Ugh. Even though it's going to require bot editing out the wazoo, per Imp and Havac. [20:43] <+Kilson> If it's the official name, it works. [20:43] <+MasterJonathan> per jSarek [20:43] <@Cylka> Per Grae and jSarek. [20:43] <@Graestan> jSarek: newest? [20:43] <+Mauser> Again, we can't follow publisher's format because if wiki limitations [20:44] <@LordHydronium> Star Wars: Darth Bane: Path of Destruction: A Novel of the Old Republic [20:44] <+Fiolli> I agree with Imp. [20:44] <@Grunny> Okay so consensus is support [20:44] <@ChackJadson> like what, mauser? [20:44] <@Riffsyphon1024> seems LFL is inconsistent, which makes it difficult for us to be consistent [20:44] <@Graestan> i mean, we use newest for everything else [20:44] <+JangFett> We can't change the official publication names with colons in the name [20:44] <+Tyber> what about the use of "-" [20:44] <@LordHydronium> Wait, I want to hear Mauser out on this. [20:44] <+Mauser> it's Star Wars: Empire #1 at Dark Horse [20:44] <@ChackJadson> oh [20:44] <@jSarek> Grae: Too prone to typos, I'd think. [20:44] <+Kilson> That is not good. [20:44] <@Riffsyphon1024> cant use # in titles [20:44] <@LordHydronium> Oh, the pound sign? [20:44] <+Jaymach> I think we actually could use the "#" [20:44] <+Kilson> How was it published? [20:44] <@Riffsyphon1024> it redirects to sections [20:44] <+Jaymach> we'd just have to use the code to get it [20:44] <+Mauser> and we are bound to make it Star Wars: Empire 1: Something [20:44] <@Imperialles> This has nothing to do with other signs. Just the colon. Keep it on topic. [20:44] <+Tyber> Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Commencement [20:44] <@jSarek> Perhaps go with what's on the title page [20:45] <@LordHydronium> Jaymach: Eh. I could live without pound signs. [20:45] <@Graestan> I say for numbers, leave it out of the URL, put it in the [20:45] <@AdmirableAckbar> Per jSarek. [20:45] <+Fiolli> I agree with Imp. Stay on topic. [20:45] <+Mauser> Star Wars: Series # (X) - The title ; that's how Dark Horse names them [20:45] <+MasterJonathan> per Grae [20:45] <@Imperialles> We are not here to discuss that, Mauser.

[20:59] <@Riffsyphon1024> definitely Option 2, the arrows [20:59] <+Tyber> Fiolli: can you de-link the images? [20:59] <+Fiolli> Yes, we can. [20:59] <+Fiolli> This was just a trial for the mofference. [20:59] <@jSarek> Per Havac. Unobtrusive is best for these. [20:59] <+Tyber> or link them to the article [20:59] <@Havac> We just voted to make cleanup templates less intrusive; I don't see a reason to make these more obtrusive. [20:59] <@Riffsyphon1024> option one looks like my control bar on Firefox [20:59] <@Havac> They're obvious enough already. [21:00] <+Fiolli> This is for the navigation for our visitors and readers, not for our users who edit. [21:00] <+Kilson> Per Riff [21:00] <@Cylka> I think option two is more pleasing. [21:00] <+Jaymach> why not have it as a blue banner like we do on the Stargate wiki? only make it curved or whatever you like [21:00] <+Fiolli> There is a difference. [21:00] <+Kilson> Doesn't look good enough. [21:00] <+Jaymach> http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Otheruse [21:00] <@GreenTentacle> See also definitely shouldn't stick out. [21:00] <+Jaymach> makes it stand out slightly [21:00] <@Darth_Culator> It's barely even a template. I see no problem with drawing people's attention to the fact that there's more to see. [21:00] <+Jaymach> and doesn't have a silly image [21:00] <+Mauser> nah, don't like the blue banner [21:00] <@GreenTentacle> And I did it. :p [21:01] <@Riffsyphon1024> meh, Option 2 goes just a small step farther [21:01] <+Jaymach> yeah, and he did it :P [21:01] <@Graestan> Overwhelmingly it's *Number Two* - have fun, Fiolli ;) [21:01] <@Graestan> NEXT! [21:01] <@Graestan> "This may seem pretty trivial in relation to the above agenda items, but I would like to see future Mofferences held at 23:00 UTC instead of 0:00 UTC. As sannse pointed out on IRC, when something is scheduled for midnight, problems can come up over whether that is midnight at the end of the previous day or midnight at the beginning of the next day. There was some confusion over this issue... [21:01] <@Graestan> ...between Chack and me, in which Chack said "Saturday" below in the "Comments" section, leading me to believe it was Saturday morning UTC/Friday night in the U.S., when in fact it was Saturday night. Moving the Mofference away from midnight would likely solve this issue and prevent future such problems. This may not even need a formal voteâ€”and indeed, it probably doesn'tâ€”but I feel it's...

[21:02] <+Tyber> read the infobox, that should clearify everything [21:02] <@Riffsyphon1024> there needs to be a better way to indicate if its under Daylight Savings Time or not [21:02] <+MasterJonathan> I just put the idea up because there was some confusion and wanted some opinions [21:02] <@LordHydronium> I dunno, 11 for the English seems easier to manage than midnight as well. [21:02] <+Fiolli> I have no problem with 23UTC, but it SHOULD NOT BE because someone accidentally typed it wrong on the mofference page. [21:02] <@Imperialles> Oppose. 23:00 UTC is not Dark enough.

[21:13] <@AdmirableAckbar> SD: anyone in particular? [21:13] <@Darth_Culator> Oh, that was ancient. [21:13] <@ChackJadson> want to nominate a user, then? [21:13] <@Graestan> I'll draw one up if I must. [21:13] <@ChackJadson> a BC? [21:13] <+Tyber> i say abandon Wikia and you can get it for every admin :P [21:13] <+Kilson> I nominate Greastan. [21:13] <+IFYLOFD> It was in late 2007. [21:13] <@Darth_Culator> Tyber: Baby steps. [21:13] <@Riffsyphon1024> support at least for Wookiee's personal bulldog DC [21:13] <@GreenTentacle> Culator and a BC. [21:13] <@Imperialles> Then again, we did recently get bot rights from Wikia (hells yeah). [21:13] <+Tyber> it's a quite handy tool [21:13] <+Kilson> *Graestan. [21:13] <@Toprawa> per GT [21:13] <@Grunny> Culator and Graestan [21:13] <+Fiolli> Abandoning wikia is something we have considered on the side a touch. [21:13] <@ChackJadson> Culator and Grae [21:13] <+Kilson> I should probably get his name right. P [21:13] <+Jujiggum> Per Grun [21:13] <@AdmirableAckbar> Just Culator, imho. [21:14] <@SillyDan> Our active BCs would be OK with it, I think. [21:14] <+Tyber> Culator: i know, i know ;) [21:14] <+Kilson> Can we send more than one? [21:14] <@Imperialles> Why not just Culator a BC? [21:14] <@Havac> All active BCs. [21:14] <+Tyber> support, Culator and Grae [21:14] <@Riffsyphon1024> umm [21:14] <@Imperialles> just make* [21:14] <+MasterJonathan> Culator and Grae [21:14] <@ChackJadson> Havac: who are those? [21:14] <@Graestan> per Imp :D [21:14] <@Grunny> Indeeed Culator for BC [21:14] <+Tommy9281> Per Ackbar [21:14] <+Mauser> Support both [21:14] <+Kilson> How many active BCs do we have? [21:14] <+Jujiggum> Culator and Grae [21:14] <@LordHydronium> Would Wikia have a limit if they allowed if? If not, then when not all BCs like Hav said? [21:14] <@Riffsyphon1024> might have to oppose that one [21:14] <@LordHydronium> *why [21:14] <@AdmirableAckbar> Oppose all BCs. [21:14] <@ChackJadson> oppose all BCs [21:14] <@SillyDan> (I realize for practical purposes it might just be Culator using the powers.) [21:14] <@Toprawa> Oppose all BCs [21:14] <@Havac> Why oppose? [21:14] <+Mauser> oppose all BCs [21:14] <+Kilson> I'm good with Grae and Culator. [21:14] <@Cylka> Oppose all BCs. [21:14] <@Darth_Culator> I already have a job where personal information is basically all I deal with. If I passed an FCC-regulated vetting process, Wikia shouldn't have a problem with me. [21:14] <+Fiolli> oppose all BCs [21:15] <@Grunny> Oppose all BCs [21:15] <+Kilson> They both do a good job on the site. [21:15] <@Havac> What's any bureaucrat other than Grae going to do wrong with CheckUser? [21:15] <@Grunny> Culator and Grae would put it to most use [21:15] <+Kilson> Not to take anything away from the other BCs. [21:15] <@Riffsyphon1024> then this is down DC's alley [21:15] <@ChackJadson> Havac: find out their SSN :P [21:15] <@AdmirableAckbar> Havac: I want just Culator. [21:15] <+IFYLOFD> Oppose all BCs. Just Culator. [21:15] <@Imperialles> How would Grae put it to use exactly? :p [21:15] <@Riffsyphon1024> Culator, define your relationship with CheckUser? [21:15] <@Graestan> I am flattered. But then someone else should draw up a petition. [21:15] <+Kilson> Shame 4Dot isn't here. [21:15] <@Grunny> As long as Culator gets it I don't mind [21:15] <+Kilson> Or Gonk. [21:15] <@Toprawa> I think they're married, Riff [21:15] <@Graestan> Kilson? [21:15] <+Kilson> What? [21:15] <@ChackJadson> who's married? [21:16] <+charitwo> i know my opinion doesn't matter but Culator and Graestan sound like good CU candidates [21:16] * +Fiolli facepalms. [21:16] <+charitwo> fwiw [21:16] <+Tyber> ... [21:16] <@Graestan> Thank, Chari [21:16] <+Fiolli> Thanks, Charitwo. [21:16] <@Riffsyphon1024> just want him to acknowledge his devotion to the tool [21:16] <@Darth_Culator> Charitwo: You have voice, don't you? :P [21:16] <@jSarek> That just sounds wrong. [21:16] <@Imperialles> Dear God, Riff. :p [21:16] <+charitwo> Darth_Culator: yeah, but there is a huge wall of ops [21:16] <@Havac> I oppose giving it to just one BC. All or none. [21:16] <@Riffsyphon1024> I didn't mean it that way [21:16] <@Graestan> Culator is the main vandal hunter etc. on the site, RIff [21:16] <+Tommy9281> Hmm [21:16] <@ChackJadson> Culator is very trustworthy with this [21:16] <@Cylka> I think Culator would be best. [21:16] <+Tommy9281> I like Hav's point [21:17] <+Fiolli> Havac: Culator isn't even a bc. [21:17] <@Graestan> And he has the knowledge [21:17] <@AdmirableAckbar> Culator is the most equipped to use it. [21:17] <@Riffsyphon1024> then there you go, he gets CheckUser responsibility, as if he hasnt done it enough already [21:17] <@Darth_Culator> My "relationship" with checkuser is more that I'd be the one best able to compare IP data than that I have experience with the tool itself. [21:17] <@Graestan> And he can teach me :P [21:17] <@Imperialles> Get Culator passed first and foremost. If it's cool, we can petition for more users. [21:17] <@Graestan> I agree with Imp [21:17] <@ChackJadson> per Imp [21:17] <+Jujiggum> per imp [21:17] <@Grunny> Per Imp [21:17] <@Toprawa> per Imp [21:17] <+Mauser> per Imp [21:17] <@Riffsyphon1024> per Imp [21:17] <@Cylka> Yes, per Imp. [21:17] <@jSarek> Per Imp. [21:17] <+charitwo> Being a bureaucrat doesn't have anything to do with being a Checkuser, other than...level of community trust? [21:17] <@GreenTentacle> Sounds reasonable. [21:17] <+MasterJonathan> per Imp [21:17] <+IFYLOFD> Per Imp. [21:17] <+Pranay_Sobusk> per Imp. [21:17] <@Graestan> Keep your eyes peeled for a petition on the NB forums [21:17] <@Riffsyphon1024> that's just another level of trust [21:17] <+Tyber> per Imp [21:17] <@AdmirableAckbar> charitwo: something like that [21:18] <@Riffsyphon1024> done with this topic? [21:18] <+Tyber> go on [21:18] <+IFYLOFD> Pass. Move on to the next topic. [21:18] <@Darth_Culator> What did Cylka want to bring up? [21:18] <@Graestan> Okay, I have a last-minute proposal. [21:18] <+Mauser> I have a quick proposal [21:18] <@Graestan> "GA redlink rule proposal: three maximum for under 500 words, five maximum for over." [21:18] <+Fiolli> Admins: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/User:Kota250 [21:18] <@AdmirableAckbar> Cylka's is already on the agenda. [21:18] <@Graestan> Support. [21:18] <+Kilson> I support. [21:18] <@Riffsyphon1024> hmm [21:18] <+Jujiggum> Support [21:18] <+MasterJonathan> Support [21:18] <+IFYLOFD> Support. [21:18] <+Kilson> But I think this should go to the AC. [21:18] <@Riffsyphon1024> what is it at right now? [21:18] <+Pranay_Sobusk> Support. [21:18] <+Fiolli> Support. [21:18] <+Mauser> aren't we on Ct with this one? [21:19] <+Tyber> i don't mind redlinks [21:19] <+Fiolli> Mauser: CT is different. [21:19] <+IFYLOFD> I think it should be less, personally. [21:19] <+Kilson> They don't really look good. [21:19] <@Riffsyphon1024> remember redlinks promote growth [21:19] <+Tyber> let the AC decide [21:19] <@Graestan> Not on CT [21:19] <+Jujiggum> Per Floyd, but I'll setle for this [21:19] <+Jujiggum> *settle [21:19] <@Graestan> The AC already came up with this. [21:19] <+Mauser> Fiolli: how exactly? [21:19] <@GreenTentacle> Don't let the AC decide. [21:19] <@AdmirableAckbar> Too complicated. [21:19] <+Fiolli> The CT is about redlinks being removed from the intro/infobox/etc. [21:19] <@Graestan> That's why it's here [21:19] <+Kilson> OK, well, as long as it's good with the AC. [21:19] <@AdmirableAckbar> Just have a set number - it really makes no difference. [21:19] <@Cylka> Too many redlinks on a short article are god awful. [21:19] <+Fiolli> This is the entire article. [21:19] <@GreenTentacle> They can't set GA rules. The Inq can't set FA rules. [21:19] <+CC7567> It's the community, not the AC. [21:19] <@AdmirableAckbar> Most redlinks that are created are shit anyway. [21:19] <@Graestan> GT, I already clarified. [21:19] <+Mauser> ok, in this case I support [21:19] <@GreenTentacle> And support. [21:19] <@Riffsyphon1024> if its a GA, its not a short article necessarily [21:20] <+CC7567> Support. [21:20] <@Toprawa> Support [21:20] <@ChackJadson> it is, Riff [21:20] <+Jujiggum> Still support [21:20] <+Fiolli> Support. [21:20] <@ChackJadson> they must be under 3000 words [21:20] <+MasterJonathan> Support [21:20] <+CC7567> Riff: 90% of the time. [21:20] <+Kilson> If I haven't already supported. [21:20] <+Kilson> I support. [21:20] <@AdmirableAckbar> Oppose [21:20] <@ChackJadson> support [21:20] <+DarthTrayus> support [21:20] <@Riffsyphon1024> but short enough to be a pain to see redlinks? [21:20] <+Tyber> i'm not sure if this redlink policy is that effective for quality [21:20] <@Graestan> Enough about other things. [21:20] <@Cylka> Support. [21:20] <+IFYLOFD> Support. [21:20] <@Graestan> This measure passes [21:20] <@Graestan> NEXT! [21:20] <@Graestan> "# I think that Fiolli had a great idea with the war templates. I would like to propose that it be implemented for all of our war templates.

[21:20] <+DarthTrayus> Per CC [21:20] <@Imperialles> Standardize the width of the things, though. [21:20] <@ChackJadson> CC: hypocrite :P [21:21] <+MasterJonathan> Support otherwise [21:21] <+CC7567> There is *no way* we are doing a template for that. :P [21:21] <@Riffsyphon1024> looks like you got some work to do Fiolli [21:21] <@jSarek> If those were good examples of our current and new templates, then heck yes, support.

[21:21] * @Imperialles (n=Imperial@wikia/Imperialles) Quit ("Leaving") [21:21] <+Mauser> Have a quick proposal: remove hide option from all infoboxes. Reason: we do want out readers to see the infoboxes. [21:21] <+Tommy9281> True [21:21] <@Riffsyphon1024> the Clone Wars should finish first, at least the series should end before that can be set [21:21] <+Tyber> very true [21:21] <+Kilson> I support that. [21:21] <+MasterJonathan> Who uses the hide button anyway? [21:21] <@Graestan> per MJ XD [21:21] <+Fiolli> I do, sometimes. [21:21] <+Kilson> People who hate kittens. :P [21:21] <+Tommy9281> I hit it accidentally and don't know how to undo it [21:21] <+Tyber> no, no [21:21] <+DarthTrayus> For the infobox??? [21:22] <+DarthTrayus> Who does that? [21:22] <+Fiolli> Only on things like /Executor/ where it is FOREVER. [21:22] <+Tyber> support for mauser's proposal [21:22] <@GreenTentacle> Tommy9281: Try clicking show. :P [21:22] <@Riffsyphon1024> how'd you hide the infobox? [21:22] <@Havac> I don't see a need to take hiding away. [21:22] <+Tommy9281> LMAO [21:22] <+Kilson> I forget we have that most of the time. [21:22] <+Tommy9281> I guess that'd do it [21:22] <@Havac> So long as it's not default-hidden, people are seeing it. [21:22] <@Graestan> So, support or oppose? [21:22] <+Jujiggum> oppose [21:22] <+Kilson> Support. [21:22] <+IFYLOFD> Support. [21:22] <@Havac> Why take away the ability to collapse it? [21:22] <@GreenTentacle> Oppose. If you don't want to hide, don't click it. [21:22] <@Riffsyphon1024> I personally dont have any reason to hide them [21:22] <+Tyber> support [21:22] <+MasterJonathan> Support [21:22] <+Fiolli> Oppose. [21:22] <+Tommy9281> support [21:22] <@Graestan> no need for rule; oppose [21:22] <+CC7567> Oppose and per GT. [21:22] <+Pranay_Sobusk> Oppose. [21:22] <+Fiolli> I agree with Havac. [21:22] <@LordHydronium> oppose [21:22] <@Havac> Strong oppose. [21:22] <@jSarek> Oppose per GT. [21:22] <@Darth_Culator> Epic meh. [21:22] <@Cylka> Oppose. [21:22] <+Mauser> it's for the readers: we don't want them to hide useful info [21:23] <@Graestan> most infobox data is already redundant especially in GA/FA [21:23] <+DarthTrayus> oppose [21:23] <@AdmirableAckbar> Oppose [21:23] <@Grunny> It's no harm leaving it there [21:23] <@Grunny> Oppose [21:23] <+Mauser> whatever [21:23] <@Graestan> per Grunny [21:23] <+CC7567> It's already default show. I fail to see why it's necessary. [21:23] <@jSarek> Mauser: Why? If they want the info, they won't click it. [21:23] <@Riffsyphon1024> I guess a choice isn't a bad thing [21:23] <+Jujiggum> Per CC [21:23] <+IFYLOFD> Whatever. Oppose. [21:23] <@Havac> How is this for the readers? [21:23] <+Tyber> well, go on then [21:23] <@Havac> They already can hide it. [21:23] <+DarthTrayus> Whats the issue with having the option? [21:23] <@Havac> They can show it. [21:23] <+Fiolli> Next! (If there is one.) [21:23] <@Havac> They have everything they need. [21:23] <+Kilson> I have a quick question/proposal. [21:23] <@Riffsyphon1024> this isn't becoming an issue on browsers is it? [21:23] <@AdmirableAckbar> no [21:23] <@Graestan> Kilson has the floor. [21:24] <+Kilson> We use for OOU articles. [21:24] <+Kilson> It starts off not showing the apps. [21:24] <+Jaymach> just thought I'd make a note from earlier: Wikia's official position is to not allow people to hotlink from Wikia servers [21:24] <+Kilson> Can we change it so that it shows it at first, and then have the option to collapse it? [21:24] <+Jaymach> they can link to the image page or the page the image is on, but not the image directly [21:24] <+Kilson> I work on OOU articles a lot. [21:25] <@Grunny> Kilson that was voted on in the CT [21:25] <+Mauser> unfortunately the cinsensus was to hide by default [21:25] <+MasterJonathan> per Grunny [21:25] <+Kilson> Great, I missed it. :( [21:25] <@Darth_Culator> Jaymach: Yes, but they don't enforce it, even when we bring it to their direct attention. This is really just bringing our enforcement in line with their policy, so I don't see an issue. [21:25] <@AdmirableAckbar> I'd support showing by default. [21:25] <@Darth_Culator> Anyway, back on topic. [21:25] <+Kilson> Me too. [21:25] <+Jaymach> I know, just thought I'd comment :P [21:25] <+Tyber> Kilson: isn't that something you can live with? [21:25] <+Mauser> though I personally have to click it every time I visit an article - it's irritating [21:25] <@Grunny> http://starwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:CT:Appearances_revamp_project&t=20090723004037#Show.2FHide [21:25] <+MasterJonathan> http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:CT:Appearances_revamp_project [21:25] <@Graestan> per these linking cats [21:25] <@AdmirableAckbar> I don't get why we hide by default. [21:26] <@Darth_Culator> This was CT'ed already, recently, so I don't see the merit in overturning it. [21:26] <@jSarek> That CT is still open, isn't it? [21:26] <+Kilson> Well, I think App makes small OOUs like Hoth look wierd. [21:26] <+Kilson> But that's just me. [21:26] <+Mauser> and me [21:26] <+Tyber> per culator [21:26] <+Fiolli> I agree with Culator. [21:26] <@Riffsyphon1024> how did I vote in that, wait a sec, I guess I didn't [21:26] <@Cylka> Per Culator. [21:26] <+Jujiggum> It's CT'd, let's move on [21:26] <+Kilson> I'll bring it up next time then. [21:26] <+Kilson> Give you guys sometime to think about it. [21:27] <@LordHydronium> Wait, we put in every OOU, even the one-or-two-entry ones? [21:27] <+Fiolli> Is that a threat? ;) [21:27] <+Kilson> You know me. [21:27] <+Kilson> I don't make threats. [21:27] <@ChackJadson> don't say it [21:27] <@Riffsyphon1024> moving on? [21:27] <@ChackJadson> :P [21:27] <+Mauser> currently, yes [21:27] <@LtNOWIS> App is long overdue [21:27] * +Tyber gives Kilson some PIE [21:27] <+Kilson> I make promises. [21:27] <+Kilson> :P [21:27] <@Graestan> There is nowhere to move on to. [21:27] <@SillyDan> AOB? [21:27] <@Riffsyphon1024> so its done? [21:27] <@Graestan> DARK FAREWELLS
