Suggestion:20080228 Factory Skill Set

Add this link to this page. --Kaysakado 21:39, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Done, and it might be worth making an exception to the Scheduled Protections for those marked by the author for Revision. I'll see about starting some discussion on that.--Karek^maps?! 22:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion:20080209 FAK Overhaul

Voting over. Needs protected. Not sure if its a Scheduled one but I thought I'd better not risk on my first day as a sysop. :D -- Cheese 16:08, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

You could always Check you know. I've even mentioned it once or twice on this page itself, you can even see it from this header. Done.--Karek^maps?! 16:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, cool. :D Thought it might be a better idea to check, just to make sure. -- Cheese 16:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

The dead of Dunell Hills

Edit war. Page must be protect as is (sinister's edit) --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[cloned] [mod]} 01:42, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Protected.--Karek^maps?! 01:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

While we are at it... would you mind to protect that image used in the DHCP pag ? There is a bit of edit conflicts in there about it. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[cloned] [mod]} 02:05, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion:20080224_Walking_the_Rails

Edited. Scheduled protection? --Funt Solo ^QT 09:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, and done. --Z. slay3rT 23:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

User talk:Axe Hack/Quiz

I will really hate it if someone messes with that redirect thing I just set up. --Axe Hack Talk 17:32, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Done.--Karek^maps?! 17:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion:20080206 Allow pipe-cading when zombies are present

Voting over? Check. Cycled? Check. Protection? --Axe Hack Talk 15:01, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Got it, and you really don't need to report these as I usually get them as they are a scheduled protection. Although it does help if you make a noticeable edit summary to the effect that it's being removed, as was done in this case.--Karek^maps?! 16:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion:20080205 Trashed (Ruin Buff)

Voting's over, it's cycled, now it needs to be protected. --Axe Hack Talk 14:04, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Grimmy got it. --Z. slay3rT 00:56, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

My user page

Asking permission to protect my user page and all it's archives. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[cloned] [mod]} 14:17, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I think I got them all but, it'd just be a waste of everyone's time for you not to do whatever was possibly missed by yourself.--Karek^maps?! 14:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I think you got them all but one... and one of the archives was missing it's text and i had to force it back... it's weird what happens with old archives... --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[cloned] [mod]} 14:49, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Limited_Sysop_Sub-Classes

The Stanbury Renegades

Can you open it up again so that I can make some edits? There's some errors, stupid shit, broken links, etc. that I'd like to fix. --Sonny Corleone ^{RRF DORIS CRF MOB pr0n} 03:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Done, please be quick about it.--Karek^maps?! 05:04, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

And it has now been re-protected, as per a request in the page history and it being a A/G#Scheduled_Protection.--Karek^maps?! 05:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Gnome stuff

User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig, User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Help and User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Help/Contents. The sig for obvious reasons, the help two pages because I fear they will explode if someone makes even the smallest of edits. Oh, and don't add the Template:Protect template, it'll break everything. :D--  AHLGTG THE END IS ACTUALLY NIGH! 16:28, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Protected.--Karek^maps?! 22:58, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Reduce_Vandal_Escalations

Edit request: please add {{Policy Document}} and {{Protect}} templates, as per other policy docs. --Funt Solo ^QT 10:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

.peY --  AHLGTG THE END IS ACTUALLY NIGH! 16:28, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

UDWiki:Vandalism & UDWiki:Administration/Guidelines

Edit request: as per the changes outlined here: Reduce Vandal Escalations. --Funt Solo ^QT 10:07, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I think that's everything. --  AHLGTG THE END IS ACTUALLY NIGH! 16:28, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, but you missed this bit "the fifth being for one year, and the sixth and last ban being infinite" from the bottom of A/G. --Funt Solo ^QT 21:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Got it? --  AHLGTG THE END IS ACTUALLY NIGH! 22:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd have said "the fourth being for one month, and any subsequent ban being for one month with the possibility of a permanent ban as outline in (link to reducing vandal escalations)." --Funt Solo ^QT 09:23, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

..... ? --  AHLGTG THE END IS ACTUALLY NIGH! 18:08, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

That's the one - cheers, Gnome - that was helpful. You gain Chutzpah +1. --Funt Solo ^QT 20:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

That was the toughest thing evar. :O --  AHLGTG THE END IS ACTUALLY NIGH! 21:06, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Sacred Ground Policy Breakers

I protected this page to put a stop to an edit war, expecting the protagonists to take their dispute to arbitration. They haven't as yet, so I am reluctant to unprotect the page. If they do, it should be unprotected. If not, I guess it stays here for a while before being unprotected -- boxy ^{talk • i} 13:04 9 February 2008 (BST)

It is in arbitration. :) I put it there a while ago. -- Cheeseman ^W!RandomTalk 13:06, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, OK. So the rest of em just kept on with it afterwards eh? I'll unprotect it, but I expect it to be reverted to the version without finus listed, and without his changes to the policy if this starts up again -- boxy ^{talk • i} 13:10 9 February 2008 (BST)

Boxy, you spelled his name wrong it's funis, fenis, penis, Finis. ;)-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 13:17, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Meh :) -- boxy ^{talk • i} 13:28 9 February 2008 (BST)

I wont forget this, u know.--Finis Valorum

Might be best to just delete the page as it's essentially a public bounty list.--Karek^maps?! 16:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Reduce Vandal Escalations

& talk. Reason: policy completed voting / scheduled protection. --Funt Solo ^QT 09:56, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Done -- boxy ^{talk • i} 13:02 9 February 2008 (BST)

Demotions

This is a two-parter:

1. Edit request: the text "This page is for system operators to request a demotion of status." should be altered to indicate that it is also now for the use of the Inactive Sysops policy.
2. Unprotection request: if the page is unprotected then I (and other users) can assist the sysop team by providing demotion requests based on the Inactive Sysops policy, or even a "countdown to demotion" feature. As it is, the sysop team has to do all the hard lifting.

--Funt Solo ^QT 16:16, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Unprotected -- boxy ^{talk • i} 13:02 9 February 2008 (BST)

Template:SugVoteBox

Edit request. Because it would make more literal sense, change:

• "The only valid voting sections are Keep, Kill, Spam and Dupe, if you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote."

to

• "The only valid voting sections are Keep, Kill and Spam/Dupe. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote."

or

• "The only valid votes are Keep, Kill, Spam or Dupe. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote."

--Funt Solo ^QT 16:50, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I really don't see any difference between the first and the last ones you listed. --Karek^maps?! 21:55, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

It's the difference between "votes" and "voting sections". The first (i.e. current wording) doesn't make sense because there is no separate Dupe section. It should either list all four vote types, or the three voting sections, to accurately reflect what's actually on the page. It's a minor thing, but there it is. --Funt Solo ^QT 22:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, as long as there's a good reason. And Edit Done(did the or one).--Karek^maps?! 22:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion:20080129_Change_infection/revival

Only partly cycled, still appears in Category:Current Suggestions.

The Cycling Instructions say:

2. Remove the voting rules template and category tag from the bottom of the page (everything below the last spam/dupe vote).

Category:Human Groups

Category:Human Groups is often edited by newbies trying to work out how to put categories on pages. Protection would prevent this -- boxy ^{talk • i} 02:46 1 February 2008 (BST)
