WTFZOMBIES!
Speedy deletion request here. Regardless of what hagnat thinks of the page, the rules are quite clear that one keep vote is enough to move the vote to deletions. Hagnat violated procedure, and as such, the page should be restored until a proper deletion vote is held. --Lucero Talk U! 00:22, 22 May 2006 (BST)
- Hum. I must have missed that line in the speedy deletions page. Page restored, and delete request moved to the Deletions page. --hagnat mod 00:27, 22 May 2006 (BST)
How to blow things up so it looks pretty
Deletion Request Moderation/Deletions#How_to_blow_things_up_so_it_looks_pretty
Unsure about how you go through the motions here, but I don't think my page should be deleated.
It is not useless if viewed in relation to the "Extravaganza" page, and I believe it adds depth and complexity to the story of UrbanDead. Plus, many of the fans of the "Extravaganza" want it back, as they have additions to make themselves.
I apologize if I've done something wrong here.
PadreRomero 21:49, 11 May 2006 (BST)
- It was speedy deleted under criterion 2: It was off topic. It also gave insights into the manufacture of explosives, which i believe is illegal. (Please note, i am not rendering a verdict on this, merely making a statement) --Grim s-Mod 21:52, 11 May 2006 (BST)
- If that's the case you're probably better of making it in the Extravaganza namespace, i.e. Extravaganza/How_to_blow_stuff_up_so_it_looks_pretty rather than remaking it in the main namespace or having it undeleted. – Nubis NWO 21:54, 11 May 2006 (BST)
- As far as I could read it before it got deleted, You'd blow yourself up sooner by mixing household chemicals. I'll look into it and if it's connected to Extravaganza I'll copy the content to Extravaganza/How_to_blow_stuff_up_so_it_looks_pretty--Vista W! 21:59, 11 May 2006 (BST)
- I would still argue that such a page is off topic, and merely resubmit it under criterions 2 and 6 to the speedy deletions page. Honestly, the page was a novelty page that bore no relevance at all to urban dead. --Grim s-Mod 22:04, 11 May 2006 (BST)
- 6 wouldn't work it is not a work around, it is a restoration. and it does rever to an in game event, although marginally, I'm all for voting upon it, but it fits no speedy delete definition IMO--Vista W! 22:09, 11 May 2006 (BST)
- It meets number 2 because it doesnt actually say anything for the game. It merely gives people a lot of fireworks tips. It would be the exact same situation if a group called "Vampires of Malton" created a page listing good ways to drive off and/or kill Vampires. Relevant to their page? yes. Relevant to Urban Dead, for which this is the wiki? No. Criterion 2 does not refer to relevance to other pages on the wiki. Under that definition it would be completely useless as a criterion, as almost nothing would be deletable under it that wasnt already covered by criterion 1 (No content). Criterion 2 refers to relevance to the subject matter of the game of urban dead, and the page fails to have relavance to the game (Especially since absolutely everything on the page is impossioble in game, and only refers, in passing, to the game). While i am not against emailing their content back to them and allowing them to host it off site and link to it. --Grim s-Mod 22:15, 11 May 2006 (BST)
- As I see it the page is a bit of flavor attached to an ingame event and thus has some relavancy, it is also still under construction. there are a lot of pages that only excist for flavor about the game. If the entire extravaga was attached to a groups page whould that be better?--Vista W! 22:21, 11 May 2006 (BST)

I respect whatever you fellows want to do, but to dispel the "Manufacture of Explosives" fears, as someone who works in chemicals, the processes I have described omit much more than than is reqiured by law to omit, you can actually find more detailed discription of how to manufacture thermite on the conventional wikipedia. I apologize for the digression, we were just trying to have a little fun. You make your descision, my argument stands, everybody writes flavor pages. -Padre PadreRomero 00:00, 12 May 2006 (BST)
- I know that many groups make "flavor pages". For the moment, I'd like to suspend judgement until I see how [[Extravaganza/How_to_blow_things_up_so_it_looks_pretty]]'s vote passes. Further, I should ask, since you do have the Extravaganza version, do you still need this Undeletion request? -- Odd Starter talk • Mod • W! 01:13, 12 May 2006 (BST)
Nope, however, as a final appeal, I offer this statement, which recently appeared on the page in question: I am still a little confused as to why this page is even up for deletion. But I will comply with the moderators requests, should they delete it.
We here in the angels are committed to making sure every page in this wiki Directly Pertains To The Game -Padre PadreRomero 06:07, 12 May 2006 (BST)
Zombie plague
Reason: The original request for deletion of this item was placed when it contained only a single sentence. Since then, the page was edited to include some additional information, relevant to the topic. No additional votes to delete were made past that point. --Daranz-Talk 04:01, 26 Nov 2005 (GMT)
- Moderator: This has been Restored to it's former glory. -- Odd Starter 01:33, 30 Nov 2005 (GMT)
An edit error deleted the curent suggestions page. Could someone please revert it? (It was me who was at fault here)--Grim s 08:09, 9 Dec 2005 (GMT)
- You don't need to ask here for that - a simple edit blanking won't remove the content, it can be reverted by anyone. -- Odd Starter talk | Mod 06:38, 11 Dec 2005 (GMT)

Can I have these pages restored so that I can get them up to standard in the next few days, the same as those below Boxy 16:26, 16 July 2006 (BST)
- Done. The third page never existed, so I assume you meant Mockridge Heights Libraries, which I restored. –Bob Hammero Mod•B'crat•T•A 19:12, 16 July 2006 (BST)
- Thanks Bob, and sorry about that Library page! --Boxy 02:25, 17 July 2006 (BST)
Border
Not really an undeletion more like an unmerging. But the 'Quarntine Zone\Border section is more important than having a tiny foot note in the Malton page. I have plans to put actual content on it besides the usual statement of, Guarded by Blank. It's not too big of a deal to put it back since the page is still there. Allow people to get rid of the redirect and actually post. --Rogue 21:32, 15 July 2006 (BST)
- This isn't an action that requires a moderator. Anyone can remove redirects and move content between pages. –Bob Hammero Mod•B'crat•T•A 22:09, 15 July 2006 (BST)

- OK, I see I didn't put a reason in this one... it's so I can get it up to standard in the next few days, as per the discussion with Xoid on my user talk page. Boxy 08:41, 16 July 2006 (BST)

MAJOR MISTAKE!!!!!
I tryed to delete my recruitment ad but i killed the whole page. You can ban me for good but i just wanted you to know is was a mistake, im sorry for any problems i may have caused but i would like to see it get fixed.-Snakeeyes0072 07:54, 26 July 2006 (BST)

If they still are, perform a null edit, and see if that fixes it. If not, I'll restore this myself, and go and see what I stuffed up in the coding before trying to rid us of it again. –Xoid S•T•FU! 05:13, 19 July 2006 (BST)

Ridleybank Animal Rescue
Please restore this! I was traveling extensively and so it may have appeared abandoned for some time, I assure you it was not. I would rather have the old content restored so it can be added on to, than have to fabricate the page all over again. I would have requested this sooner had I noticed this area. -- Kielios 22:24, 20 August 2006 (BST)

Lance of Rehel
It was deleted last month under crit. 12 but the group has a large historical part to the suburb of Judgewood and the group The Grove. Its not a group anymore as it happened in the begining of Malton and I doubt it would get through historical groups but can I have the information to merge it into another page or add the page into the category of Judgewood and add a disclaimer? --MarieThe Grove 18:28, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Malton Postal Service
This one apparently went down under the 'speedy deletion' clause. Yes, I was inactive for some time, but am getting back into the game. I don't know what happened to the 'postmaster general', but would be taking over the job. If the page is not eligible for un-deletion for some reason I'll just start from scratch, so the name space is staying anyway. I would like to have the previous data restored if at all possible.

Another page that got nuked by the questionable Crit 12 awhile back. Not truly a group page, more of an open idea thats carried out via the game naturally?

- The redirect falls under criterion 9; and is also a criterion 6 since it was processed on speedy deletions. It'll get nuked; anyone remakes it, tell us. They'll get in trouble. As for your user page, that was just sloppy administration on the deleting moderator's part. Restored. –Xoid M•T•FU! 12:32, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sehr schnell! Very fast! Thankyou! However, regarding the redirect, every redirect page to user pages would therefore count under rule 9, including those for several moderators! As regards to the deletion, this is a redirect page, not a duplicate of the original propaganda page, and so is surely not a workaround deletion (rule 6).--Harald von Holzapfel 13:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Redirects to your user page are unallowed in the main namespace. Including a link to such a redirect in your signature is also unallowed, and corrected whenever someone notices it. Including a link to a different redirect like, say, ASS would be allowed because signatures are not bound by rules limiting you from linking to your group's redirect (you would still need to include your user name in your signature somewhere, or otherwise I'd replace it with {{unsigned}}. The redirect fits criterion 9 and was deleted. A recreation of a deleted page fits criterion 6 if the deleted page had the same content on it. Since both the propaganda and the redirect were on it, it would qualify for criterion 6 under both cases. A redirect like mod fit criterion 3 and should (but won't be) be replaced with a new redirect fitting the same 'format' as the rest of the moderation pages (i.e., M instead of moderation), but is allowed to stay purely because we do not want to overpopulate Special:Brokenredirects (and because we're too lazy to clean up the mess of red links that deleting it would leave behind.). –Xoid M•T•FU! 14:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- "both the propaganda and the redirect were on it" - do you mean the propaganda had returned to the page?!? If so, who did it? And I did not mean anything to do with signatures - I meant redirect pages to users pages. Anyway, this is getting far too technical for my limited knowledge of the various rules, and I will take your word for it. Thankyou again! :^)--Harald von Holzapfel 15:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Since 'twas in the history recreating it as either a redirect or propaganda would qualify it for criterion 6. As for redirects to user pages, I'm not sure what you mean. I know quite a few mods use a template-exploit to get an automatically updating signature, but I can't think of any with redirects in to their user name. Apart from ones that were necessary due to unique circumstances (long story). Feel free to point them out if you do know of them, but we should really continue this discussion on my talk page. –Xoid M•T•FU! 15:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- I will read these things more carefully, then I will write on your user page. Thanks. --Harald von Holzapfel 17:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Magenta Rum
Deleted under crit 3, but a number of our members need this redirect because their profile links lead to Magenta Rum instead of Reductio ad absurdum. (You know, it would be really useful if we could actually be informed when a page gets deleted, because I had to be told by a prospective member that the page was taken down) -- The Minister of Funk T 04:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Why not just have them fix their links? I don't even know how you got "Magenta Rum" from "Reductio ad absurdum" anyway.--Gage 04:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Urban Dead Character profile links. You know, the ones you can't change? "Magenta Rum" was the working name for the group. Regardless, it doesn't qualify for crit 3 anymore. -- The Minister of Funk T 04:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Fedaykin
So, apparently we've been speedily deleted. Chalk up yet another "didn't know about criterion 12" on the board...
The Fedaykin are indeed still alive and kicking, and are holding their own in Spicer Hills (and are still defending [21,97] as their safehouse) in a loose alliance with the other human groups in the area (e.g. the Bowring Blackwatch). There aren't many of us, but we do exist. And we miss our Wiki presentation. :)
Note to mods: in the future it might be a good idea (if the Wiki allows it) to place "speedy deletion" tags on BOTH the group and discussion pages. I honestly don't know if one was placed on our group page before the deletion or not - since it was meant to be a mostly static presentation page, it didn't see a lot of edits (and was thus not checked as often as the talk page). A tag on the talk page would definitely have been noticed though... Furniture 10:53, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Malton Marshals
Please undelete this because it's a real group, it has real members, and if Anime's monster "I want 'em gone" groups list hadn't been completely zapped in less than 15 minutes, someone might have stopped to realize that. Plus, since it's part of the DEM, its eradication left approximately 7.2 assloads of broken links. -- Atticus Rex mfu pif Δ 07:07, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- Restored. The Marshals are alive and strong, despite their absence on the stats. page. Kinda hard to show up there since they're actually a subset of the MPD. –Xoid M•T•FU! 07:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- Exactly. Thanks, Xoid. -- Atticus Rex mfu pif Δ 09:34, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
IZONE
Another group worthy of remembering that I've noticed has been speedy deleted. The "Initiating Zombies to Obtain the Naturalization of Earth" was an unholy terror across much of Southern Malton, and spawned the creation of many protective groups that still exist in on form or another today. Much of their well-thought-out dogma has in many ways also influenced the creation of other PK groups. I'm sure many users who've been around in-game pre-2005 recall a quite few run-ins with them.

Disciples of Zeko
Didn't realize this had been speedy deleted untill recently!
- Reasoning: While short lived, the cult had significant historical impact upon the suburb of Yagoton. This was mostly due to the astounding act of PKing known as the Valentine's Day Massacre, which may have been for its time the single most impressive act of PKing or at least the first confermed recording of a well-organized 'Mass Murder' PK. This group should be restored at least to have a chance to be petitioned for placement in the 'Historical' sections; Failing that, a deletion would be well-merited. --MorthBabid 22:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

My group of brazilian players.

While, yeah, it seams logical that we should delete this unused images, what if the page is undeleted ? Look at my group now, it had a cool picture that i took from the Modern Drunkard Magazine, and that i cant recover now :\ My group now looks all shitty with that groupbox whitout a picture... And that would have happened with any other group... The Mongolian Horde page was deleted a few weeks ago, later undeleted. Luckily the one who deleted the page didnt delelted the images also, or else the mongolians horde page would have lost a lot of it charm. --People's Commissar Hagnat [cloned] [mod] 04:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, i could call conn for misconbitration, since he erased the page on Nov.21, and the last edit on my page was on Sept.22, so he erased it before the 2 month period that would hav allowed him to delete it :) But i am no child, or Amazing, so all i want now is to find a way to prevent this sort of thing from happening again with ALL groups in the wiki... let us discuss this in M/DS... --People's Commissar Hagnat [cloned] [mod] 04:53, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I.U.S.S The IUSS page may seem unactive, but it really isn't our group leader has been abbsent for quite some time now. Apparently when he left, for what he said was school related activities, he didn't leave any member with access to the site and even access to our forum. Our group is in West Boundwood and have atleast 10 members still active. I would be very apreciative if you could undelete the profile. Fireplay259 22:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- I will restore The Independent Union of Sovereign Socialists and IUSS, but it is a waste of space for the group to have any more redirects than that. I.U.S.S. will remain deleted.--Gage 22:52, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Scripts
Deletion reason:
Manual on how to cheat on UD. Not cool.
Reasons for undeletion request:
- The Scripts page is not a manual for how to cheat. Although scripts can be used for cheating, they can also allow gameplay when not using a graphical terminal.
- None of the Speedy Deletions Eligibility criteria were met.
- The use of Scripts does not equate to Bot abuse. It does, however, qualify under the terms of computer assists as defined on the Bot abuse page.
- Cheating clearly defines four common criteria for cheating. Scripts does not fall into any of those criteria.
I recognise that the original complaint was made by the person in charge of this wiki. I understand that the deletion was done by one of the most respected moderators. In the end, this wiki belongs to you them more than it belongs to an average individual. If you don't want to host information on scripting for those using non-graphical terminals or high latency connections, that's your call. If that is the case, I recommend that you ammend the rules of this wiki to include a documentation ban on all scripts and computer assistance.
If you decide to keep Scripts deleted, you may also want to consider deleting Items internal codes. That information is of paramount importance when scripting or cheating, but of little use to an average player using a graphical interface.

Malton Hospitals
Ok, there are a LOT of "Pre-Outbreak Organisations", and just because it hasn't had an author edit since Febuarary, doesn't mean it should be mercilessly deleted. This place is slowly turning into wikipedia where things get deleted in a heartbeat, for whatever reason, often not a good one. The flavor value is was there, and it's going to be missed.--Labine50 MHG|MEMS 01:35, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- Criterion 12. It's there to ensure that relevant information stays on the wiki, but dead groups with no significance's pages are nuked regularly. This was a case of mistaken identity. Some twit added Category:Groups and Category:Human Groups to it and confused the issue. It is fancruft, and while I can easily recognise it as such, perhaps a template should be made to prevent these sort of screwups in the future. Regardless, restored. –Xoid M•T•FU! 02:52, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
BME
My group is Bale Mall Elite (BME). I have been out of the game for about 5-6 weeks and I prefacved this in game and on the wiki because I was moving and having computer problems. I am back now and went to update the page BUT it was gone. As I have not been here I am assuming that it was deleted/removed because I hadn't updated it and dead pages are continuously removed? Just a guess. Anyway I have emailed some members hoping they have a template but haven't gotten any responses yet. Can a moderator please restore the BME page as it was the last time i accessed it which was probably around 9/15/2006? I will be updating it going forward. Thanks Legend X 16:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Rabbit Hole
I'm trying to create a page, but a mod hates me and hates the page. I cannot even write the page in question because of the frequencey of the deletion.
I would have voted "keep" in the speedy deletion queue but I didn't know it was there until it had already happened. I'm new to the wiki rules, even though I've posted for awhile. I just never needed to know them. So I recreated the page because. Now a mod says it's vandalism. All I'm trying to do is create a page to tell an alternate viewpoint of a story...a viewpoint not endorsed by the DHPD and Conndraka.
Also, another mod is calling me insulting names because I asked him to give me a citation for a rule. Apparently I hurt Major Gage's feelings by asking for clairification.
So, in short, restore my page Rabbit Hole so I can write my piece there. --Maxwell Hammer 04:07, 14 October 2006 (BST)
- Why should I when we already have Rabit Hole?--Gage 04:35, 14 October 2006 (BST)
Because that's a mispelling and that is the DHPD's version of things. I'm going to use Rabbit Hole to tell my side of things. --Maxwell Hammer 04:37, 14 October 2006 (BST)
- I would like a place to put up a few pages of roleplaying and backstory and Rabbit Hole seems like a good place to do it. Especially since I can't put it on Cotty Street Police Department page because that's a redirect to the DHPD page. They do not own the suburb or the wiki and I think I should have the right to tell another side of the story. I'm willing to put it on the Cotty Street Police Department page if the redirect will be turned off. It's like I'm not allowed to say anything on the wiki because the Cheif of the DHPD is a mod. They've even deleted and changed things I've said in the wiki.--Maxwell Hammer 04:51, 14 October 2006 (BST)
- Actually, the DHPD does NOT own Cotty Street Police Department. Feel free to put it there as long as it is NPOV.--Gage 04:54, 14 October 2006 (BST)
- Are you an idiot? That link redirects to a page called Dunell Hills Police Department. The same as the name of the group.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maxwell Hammer (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

OVER RULED. Just because this is the "proper channels" doesn't mean that every stupid page gets automatically restored. Dunell Hills Police Department is a community page, despite the fact that they share the same name with it. It was named with the exact same nomenclature as every other set of grouped locations, just like Tollyton Junkyards, etc, etc. See the LSG if you need proof Max.
Use the location page for what it was meant for instead of creating a dozen pages as an alternate history. If you want your version of events listed there and adding them would make the page "too large", I'll split Cotty Street Police Department off into a separate location page — like should be done. If it would make even that page too large, creating a separate, single page in the same vein as all the other contested issues have is the way to go. –Xoid S•T•FU! 12:01, 14 October 2006 (BST)
User:Jedaz/Sandbox/Evil_Text
I would appreciate it if people left my user pages intact while I'm trying to leave this wiki. If people have an issue with it I would like them to bring it to my talk page and explain why they want it gone. I don't think it's too hard to ask for this now is it? If theres a valid reason as to why it should be removed then I want to hear it so I can give it the ok. Yes I'm talking to you Xoid and Bob Hammero. I will still check my talk page on a periodic basis and will respond to things as required. I don't know if I'm more offended that it was actually deleted or it was deleted so soon after my departure. Either way I would like people to consult with me first before they remove my user pages. - Jedaz - 02:53/22/12/2024 14:09, 20 September 2006 (BST)

- The status of the group really hasn't changed so we don't mess with that page. The revive section of the forums for our Revive Points is updated a couple times a month. Why edit the page if nothing needs edited on it? It's purpose is to give some background on us for those in the game who want to know what we're about. It's also a reference point for a lot of other stuff in the Wiki. - Fath3r0f4 09:42, 11 Sept. (-5 GMT)
