===[[Radio/Group Massacre]]===
It's been over four months and people are still adding themselves to this. It's annoying and it isn't the page that's templated onto the [[Radio]] page. I've stuck a notice up on the top and it would be good if it was protected to reinforce the point (people can still use the talk page for questions, and I'll request unprotection when we do it again.) {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 11:15, 30 March 2009 (BST)

These require no further editing and need protection from the usual vandalism to cripple the maps or spread misinformation.

Still in use in a few places, but no longer significant enough to warrent protection.

:All done. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 23:02, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

===A few of my archives and userpage templates===
Just requesting permission to protect all my talk page archives, some templates that are on my userpage, and my sig.

Thanks. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 09:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
:Clarification, the "templates that are on my userpage" are in my subspace. More specifically, the ones that control the tabs, and the ones that add content to the page on the sidebars.
:So that's every template on my userpage '''except''' [[Template:Projectwelcome2]] and [[Template:Science]]. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 09:41, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
::Did I everything you wanted?  --{{User:Zombie slay3r/Signature}} 15:56, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Almost.get  I'll get the rest later. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 20:14, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Finished off the pages that ZS missed. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 09:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

===[[MediaWiki:Common.css]]===
This is simply to poke a bit of discussion about removing the "Main Page" title on the [[Main Page]]. It's done over at [http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Talk:Main_Page#Appearance Rationalwiki] by a [http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css CSS hack], and the same can be done here. I raised it at the Main Page discussion, but it was pretty much ignored.

Anyway, basically, this request involves adding this:

<pre>
body.page-Main_Page #siteSub,
body.page-Main_Page #contentSub,
body.page-Main_Page h1.firstHeading {
    display: none !important;
}
</pre>

To our [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]. Thoughts? {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 06:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
:Oh and thanks to [[User:Midianian|Midianian]] for finding the [[Talk:Main_Page#Yet_another_header|CSS]] {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 06:45, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
I'll approve of this edit to the Common page, but I will leave it to you (or other sysop "in the know") to do the actual editing, so that if any minor tweaks, or special placement on the page is needed, you can fix it as you go (without back and forth discussion). As long as it works ;) <small>-- [[User:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">boxy</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Boxy|<span style="color: Red">talk</span>]] • [[The Rules|teh rulz]]</sup> 10:10 17 March 2009 (BST)</small>
:Done. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 09:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

===[[Template:CPBox]]===
I forgot to add an edit link and make a direct link on the "go to community portal" part. Copy the code from [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox7|here]].--{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 20:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
:Done. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 20:47, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

===Multiple templates===
The follow should be fully protected, as there is no use to edit them except to vandalize: [[Template:NBox]], [[Template:CPBox]], [[Template:NewsItemGreen]] and [[Template:NewsItemWhite]]. Although Kevan hasn't implemented the changes yet from the semi-protection policy, these should be semi-protected as there isn't a use for a newbie to edit these two: [[Template:Community Portal]] and [[Template:Wiki News]].

The uncreated pages will have to be protected after the request below is processed, thanks. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 00:16, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:Done. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 11:33, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

===[[Main Page]], [[Template:Navigation]], [[Template:Wiki News]] and more...===
'''Summary'''

This will change the main page to look like [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox2|this]]. Among the obvious new look, the change also adds a CP section and numerous code fixes (such as getting rid of the ugly white curved edges). The new design was discussed on the talk page, and after many changes from user input to get as much support as possible, it's ready. The last concern in the latest discussion was on the colours being too bright, which was fixed by making them all darker. Some of the pages will look broken, but this is because I've removed my user sub pages and added the to-be templates. All you need to do is copy+paste.

Please do these changes in quick succession, otherwise it'll confuse a lot of people.

'''Changes required'''
* [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox13]] to [[Main Page]] - This will be the new main page. All the templates are ready on the page, but it's best to do this part last.
* [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox4]] to [[Template:NBox]] - The skin for the Wiki News section.
* [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox5]] to [[Template:Wiki News]] - Nothing to add, except the yellow template is obsolete.
* [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Green]] to [[Template:NewsItemGreen]] - Page is uncreated. Replaces the yellow version. Note, the "timestamp" and "news" variables have been changed to 1 and 2.
* [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/White]] to [[Template:NewsItemWhite]] - Note, the "timestamp" and "news" variables have been changed to 1 and 2.
* [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox9]] to [[Template:Wiki News/Instructions]] - Nothing to add.
* [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox7]] to [[Template:CPBox]] - Page is uncreated. The skin for the new CP section. 
* [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox6]] to [[Template:Community Portal]] - Page is uncreated. The CP section, to be shown on Main Page. It's a little empty at the moment, but the content of the section will be fully determined after the [[UDWiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]] remake.
* [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox8]] to [[Template:Navigation]] - Nothing to add.
* [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox12]] to [[Template:Lastupdate]] - Removed category on it, don't know the point of it. Also removed Latest News Update text.

If I've missed anything, or there's any questions, let me know. Thanks.--{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 00:16, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:Actually, it might be better if you put the [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox2|substed version]] in first, then change the templates (to make sure it works) then replace with the [[User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox13|templated]] main page. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 16:39, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
::Someone forgot a bulk of the news bar colours of [[Community Portal]]. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 11:29, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Done. The discussion at the main page talk seemed roughly in favor of this. If there are any problems, I've made a thread on the main page's talk. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 11:33, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
::::Looks all in order. The Community Portal pages is going to be gutted completely, then redone. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 16:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

===Protection Request===
Hello i wouldlike to request that my signature page be protected so it will not be touched/ruined.
[[User:Fanglord2/sig]]
thanks in advance.
{{User:Fanglord2/sig}}, 18:28, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
:Counter request. The signature breaks policy and should not be protected until it conforms. The image is too high and the overall height (23px from the looks of the code) could interfere with line spacing. From a minor pedantry standpoint, you could also cut the coding by a third and still get the same effect. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 19:11, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
::Is this sorted, and can be protected? {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 10:52, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Still long-winded, but it doesn't break policy. Fine by me. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 17:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
::::Alright, done. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 03:33, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
===[[User:Hagnat/sig]]===
In order to save the server some effort. Please replace the page with:
<pre>
<noinclude>{{User:Hagnat/sig/A}}
</noinclude>[[User:Hagnat|People's Commissar Hagnat]] <sup>[[User_talk:Hagnat|[cloned]]] [[Special:Listadmins|[mod]]]</sup><noinclude>
{{User:Hagnat/sig/B}}</noinclude>
</pre>

Permission & discussion [[User talk:Hagnat#Your Signature...|here]]. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 19:50, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
:the second template should be 'sig/B', not 'sig/A', right ? --[[User:Hagnat|People's Commissar Hagnat]] <sup>[[User_talk:Hagnat|[talk]]] [[wcdz|[wcdz]]]</sup> 18:01, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
::Yup. My bad. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 18:54, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Done. {{User:Linkthewindow/Sig}} 10:59, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
