This page contains all previous requests for Deletion Scheduling.

Missed Talk Pages

Basically this would make Crit 5 a scheduled deletion. There aren't many missed talk pages but we might as well just make them delete on sight. -- C h e e s e 17:43, 4 May 2010 (BST)

Yarp -- C h e e s e 17:43, 4 May 2010 (BST)
Yea - And to save people the trouble of looking, crit 5 is: "Missed Talk Page: The page is a Talk: Page from a previous deletion request that has not been deleted with the request (please note the relevant deletion request if this is so)."--_GANG Giles Sednik_CAPD 18:02, 4 May 2010 (BST)
Fuck yeah 18:17, 4 May 2010 (BST)
Yes--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 18:18, 4 May 2010 (BST)
Yes-User:Whitehouse 18:56, 4 May 2010 (BST)
Yes - Should have always been scheduled, since it's the result of a mistake in the first place. I assume we will not need to make note of the previous deletion request? Or would we be expected to link it in the comment? —Aich on— 19:14, 4 May 2010 (BST)
Ja - No page should mean no talk. Q. Julius T BH 21:47, 4 May 2010 (BST)
I approve - of this message. --
- Timmah!
- Talk
22:36, 4 May 2010 (BST)
yes - I wanted to put this forward about 6 months ago but I heard some very good reasons not to. There are some interesting reasons why missed talk pages shouldn't be deleted on sight but honestly I never cared and I just think they should be gone. --

00:26, 5 May 2010 (BST)
No As much as I like the idea, someones still going to have to submit them. It's not like the mods will go looking for them. The process via speedy deletion remains unchanged by this suggested policy. -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 01:33, 5 May 2010 (BST)
Point the one: Some people use IRC and point things out to sysops there. Point the two: Many Crit 5s are noticed by sysops double-checking each other's work, who are currently required to post them to A/SD, rather than being allowed to act on them themselves. In fact, it's already common practice on IRC for sysops to nudge each other whenever one discovers a Crit 5. The nudging is then usually followed up by mutual griping about how much Crit 5 sucks. All of these are common situations that run contrary to your last statement. —Aich on— 01:45, 5 May 2010 (BST)
So you notice a missed talk page, you tell someone about it via IRC, and they delete it. I notice it, tell someone via SD, and they delete it... how is it contrary to my statement? Aside from IRC being made to look like a massive bitch fest to keep drama off the wiki that is.... -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 04:10, 5 May 2010 (BST)
Your statement was that the process remains unchanged by scheduling Crit 5s for deletion. I gave examples of how scheduling it would allow sysops to act immediately and directly, rather than having to wait and rely on others. Assuming what I say is true, then your statement cannot be correct, since I've given a counter-example that refutes your claim of no change occurring. Of course, you could argue that it wouldn't be changed in practice, since you said that "mods" don't go looking for Crit 5s, but so far in 2010 (and based on my quick skimming through the archives), just one shy of half the Crit 5s have been submitted by sysops, and if we count Yonnua, then it is over half. So, I'd say that the process is changed both in theory and in practice. —Aich on— 05:43, 5 May 2010 (BST)

What a stupid reason. "it should be a scheduled, but it won't be used all that much by sysops, so I'm voting no". IMO most occurrences of these are noticed by ops and as an ex op, I think this reduction of red tape would be quite appealing. --

04:43, 5 May 2010 (BST)
What a stupid reason? It's like the mass majority of idiots to go fuck with a system that works perfectly. If it works, leave it alone,... Last thing we need is for a bunch of pages to be deleted all willy nilly, though rightfully so. At lease this way, no one else can bitch about what you people have done... -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 13:27, 5 May 2010 (BST)
No, I don't think you understand, and judging from how you act in these situations I doubt you ever will. The system doesn't work personally, and from a user who is both an ex-op from this wiki and an op from several other small wiki's, one principle stays true to not just our ideals but also the practical application to the extended powers of a sysop: if it doesn't harm anybody, it's barely used and it removes red tape, then the inhibiting rule shouldn't even be there. This fits my rule. I tend to think you're judging this rule in its practical application compared to its principle (and even then, you've got its practical potential wrong anyway, imo). --

18:11, 5 May 2010 (BST)
Regardless, I remain unswayed... -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 22:27, 5 May 2010 (BST)
Yeah, cause you're a dipshit, which I've always maintained. And we've done our job. We've told you why you're wrong, not so you vote otherwise but so other people as stupid as you can read our responses and learn that you aren't right so they don't vote no for a dumb reason. --

03:54, 6 May 2010 (BST)
You speak almost as if there was, or ever would be another no vote... -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 04:05, 6 May 2010 (BST)
You never know! --

04:10, 6 May 2010 (BST)
You sure as hell seem too... -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 04:12, 6 May 2010 (BST)

Amending "Crit 7 by Proxy" scheduled deletion

If a page's author blanks it or replaces it with text indicating their desire to have it deleted, the page is to be deleted on sight. However, templates and other pages used as inclusions are exempted from Crit 7 by proxy.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 22:24, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes I beleive this meets the template concerns.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 22:24, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes Might as well remove/retract the vote further down then. --

Corollary to "Crit 7 by Proxy" scheduled deletion

If a page's author blanks it or replaces it with text indicating their desire to have it deleted, the page is to be deleted on sight. Current rules for deleting by proxy still apply as applicable.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 04:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes --~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 04:34, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

04:37, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Yea Seems obvious enough. Nay - I had not thought about the template issue. Make an exception for that and I'm back on board. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 06:22, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Yea --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 07:30, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
No - this would allow users to get templates, that may be in use on other people's pages, deleted with no record as to what happened. Stuff in their user space, stuff ups, or low content group pages maybe, but not everything -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 07:37 15 December 2009 (BST)
I'm not quite sure what you mean with the template thing; the user would still have to have been the creator to have the page deleted. Care to elaborate?--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 14:59, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
User A create a template. B includes it on their page. User A later blanks it and requests that it be deleted on it. B is out of luck when it gets deleted, despite the fact that B is using it. —Aich on— 15:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
What people aren't getting is that it would be deleted anyway, either through A/SD or the already existing Crit 7 Proxy clause. The argument is redundant and complaining for the sake of complaining. --

00:00, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
I wouldn't delete a template that was used elsewhere just because the author requested it. I'd roll back the pagewipe. Just because something meets a speedydelete criterion, doesn't mean it should automatically be deleted -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 05:41 16 December 2009 (BST)
Are you saying you wouldn't do the same rollback in the same situation had this scheduled passed? --

06:20, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I would. But there is no way for others to double check the deletion, like we do on a/sd, because there is no record. Sysops make mistakes -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 06:33 16 December 2009 (BST)
No - Boxy knows what he's on about. Not templates and such.--Yonnua Koponen^{Talk ! Contribs} 07:43, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
No - YUM BOXYS DICK TASTES GUDjust make an exception for templates and resubmit Cyberbob Talk 07:46, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
No - re boxy and I dont like the idea of deletion on sight as mentioned by red even if author signifys --C Whitty 15:12, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
No - It's not a lot of hassle to request deletion, and avoids any hassle this might cause. 15:24, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
No - As boxy. Just change it so you can't delete included pages (as per Cyberbob's suggestion) and it'd be fine. —Aich on— 15:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Nay! Nay I say!-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 23:50, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Unused Images (2)

Basically the same thing as last time, and with the same reasoning, except with 2 weeks' leeway instead of 1. I have yet to see any image go unused for more than 2 weeks that didn't also make it to a month without being linked somewhere. Cyberbob Talk 12:18, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes Cyberbob Talk 12:18, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Yea - Two weeks sounds good to me.--_GANG Giles Sednik_CAPD 17:38, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Yea - As above. One week is really short. --Haliman - Talk 18:20, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
~~Yea~~ No - ~~Seems reasonable as an expected implementation time-frame, and may prompt people to concentrate on finishing what they start.~~ Fail user is fail. I should have read the existing policy, and a month strikes me as fine for a ceiling. -Wulfenbach 19:44, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
I've been deleting these things for months and I can tell you that it is not fine. Cyberbob Talk 10:44, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
...and I thank you (seriously) for your work on it, but what are the technical drawbacks of letting it go to one month rather than half that time? Is the wiki running out of storage space? Why the rush to delete? -Wulfenbach 11:07, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
If we followed that kind of reasoning when the wiki was first made we would not have A/SD. "Disk space = cheep" is not a good enough reason for anything. This is a compromise from my last proposal that would still see the amount of wastage severely reduced. Cyberbob Talk 11:10, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry, Bob, but having just read the A/SD policy, I cannot see how my reasoning/example/request for clarification leads to NOT having A/SD. If anything, I can see the deletion of unlinked pictures after a given timeframe as being a A/SD criterion. The issue as I understand it is why 2 weeks? Why 1 week? Why 1 month? Why is it better to delete after 2 weeks than one month? You've said that in your experience it is common for a picture that is unlinked for two weeks is likely to remain unlinked. What's the frequency of this then? 9/10? 6/10? I believe you in that in your experience, the above is true. I just would like to see some empirical evidence. -Wulfenbach 11:34, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Ask Jed how the wiki would go out for hours because the server was getting full of data. If we can push the nuke date back a little while farther by getting rid of images people don't use then hell yes.-- SA 11:37, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
That's a complete strawman argument, new images that are being linked and therefore won't be subject to this are added to the wiki everyday. That's an argument to increase server space, not delete unwanted images quicker. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:51, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
It's actually an argument to do both. Yay! Cyberbob Talk 11:55, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Don't worry Bob, I'm about to make all your troubles go away. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:57, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

How the fuck can I give you empirical evidence when they're all deleted? Get back to me with a request which can actually be granted, thanks. Cyberbob Talk 04:22, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Eh, I think you can, but it'd be actual work to do so, likely more than it's worth. I'll not bother with stating the method, due to the previous statement, unless you challenge/want me to, then I'll dump it on your talk page then. It'd be normal experimental design, I would think. Regardless, the point about a reasonable request is noted. My statement about competing opinions/experience stands, I would think, not that much can be done about it. Popularity contests here aren't just for A/M;A/A;A/P;etc.-Wulfenbach 11:32, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Yea indeed --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 20:02, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
No - As last time. Once images are gone, they can't be retrieved. It doesn't happen often, but they can become unused without anyone noticing via vandalism, or pages that get deleted and are later requested for undeletion -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 23:59 26 November 2009 (BST)
By "doesn't happen often" you mean "has never happened in the history of the wiki", right? You're theorycrafting ridiculously implausible situations for the sake of being contrary. Cyberbob Talk 00:03, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Well, Hagnat, at least, has lost images from one of his old group pages, when Conn SDed it, and then immediately schedule deleted the images. I don't see the need for this, apart from you wanting the unused image list to be slightly shorter. Meh -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 09:16 28 November 2009 (BST)
If by "slightly" you mean "nearly cut in half" then I agree. Cyberbob Talk 10:48, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

So what's the big deal with that boxy? If they're in need of being used in the future, just make the request for undeletion, or reupload them. Doesn't really seem like that big of a deal to me. -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 18:12, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Can't undelete images. Can reupload, though the whole "may not have the file any more to upload" poses a problem. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 09:02, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
If you don't keep a copy of anything you upload to any Internet site on your harddrive then you're doing it wrong. Cyberbob Talk 10:45, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
No - As Boxy, I see absolutely no reason why they need to go in two weeks rather than a month. Perhaps the server is straining under the weight of unused images that are three weeks old.... -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 03:14, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Yesh - Better time duration. --Zs L 03:39, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

The last time I brought this up there were roughly 50 unused images on the list. There are now 90. Cyberbob Talk 10:46, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
90 is an awfully... pointless... number without a sense of scale. Would you like to share with the boys and girls what percentage of all the images on the wiki '90' is? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:46, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

No Same reason as before --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [wcdz]} 22:40, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
No - The last edit merely indicates a "ceiling" on the time when an image was likely to have last been used on a page. Since it's acting as a ceiling, not a floor, there's every reason to be liberal in how much time is allowed. It'll rarely get in the way anyway, I should think. —Aich on— 08:29, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure one of you will get around to explaining to poor old dumb Cyberbob eventually. Cyberbob Talk 11:54, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
He's saying that just because an image shows up on the unused image list, and was uploaded more than a month ago, it doesn't mean that it wasn't potentially used on a page only minutes ago. The upload date is the "ceiling"... the time it was likely first used on a page, the "floor", the last time it was used, is anytime since then, potentially only minutes ago -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 12:31 28 November 2009 (BST)

Why does having the length of time set at a month alleviate the "problem" (which is really just a matter someone being too stupid to not keep a copy of the images they upload on their computer) any more than having it at two weeks?

Yea - It might not get used frequently, and only by a select few ops, but why the hell not. Basically, a) they are already crit 1's, and the more black-and-white sort of crit 1's, not "policy says c1's are 2 lines of text but this has 3". b) Anyone who attains sysop status will already know the correct procedure so it isn't like we will mess it up, and it isn't the sort of task that an unknowing sysop would do on a whim anyway, there is a lot of work involved beforehand. c) Even in the case of an op going rogue there is practically null way any sysop could abuse this as part of some personal vendetta etc. so I don't see why we shouldn't add this to get rid of the red tape to make it easier for location pages to conform with existing policy. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 00:28, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

It fits your poorly written criteria. {{BannedUser}} exists purely to be placed on the pages of banned users without pages. Deleting a page takes precisely the same amount of effort as protecting it, the difference?

Unused images

Currently unused images are deleted after they have gone one month without an edit. This is way too long; any image that has gone unedited for more than like a week (if that) is pretty much guaranteed to make it all the way down the line. I propose shortening the length of time unused images can go without edits before they are deleted to one week. Cyberbob Talk 06:00, 1 October 2009 (BST)

The deletion of unused images is already problematic. Images can not be restored if a mistake is made, and it is very easy to delete images that have been removed in a page wiping vandal act that may not be noticed for some days, or in edit disputes. As soon as they are edited off a page, the image shows up as unused and (unless they've been uploaded recently) immediately qualify for scheduled deletion, with no way for the sysop to track down which page they used to be included on -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 12:35 1 October 2009 (BST)

Have you looked at the list? It is made up of stupid ingame screenshots, outdated Necronet scans and logos for groups that have become defunct. In my weeks of trimming the list that is quite literally all I have ever seen, and if I was to ever see one that broke this mold I would hold off on nuking it simply because of this fact. The danger you speak of Does Not Exist. Cyberbob Talk 16:15, 1 October 2009 (BST)

And in the event that it occurs (which in an extremely rare occasion that it will), it isn't beyond a sysop to notice it was uploaded either more than a month ago, or longer than the last unused-deletions purge, so an image under any criteria you hypothetically mentioned would stick out like a sore thumb and be fixable. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 16:31, 2 October 2009 (BST)

How are you going to track down which page an image was removed from, DDR?
Even though it is damn easy to tell which page images like a hockey stick are likely to be used on, I still remember people trying to keep a "real" hockey stick on the melee weapons page, only to have it replaced with ice hockey sticks, and the images deleted as unused.
Unless it is obvious which page the image came from, there is no way to know where the images in unused images were used on a wiki of this size. Perhaps there is a way to totally rewrite the unused images criteria, so that unused images between a week and a month are free to be deleted on sight, but older ones that turn up are put on an image archive page for a month or two, and only then are they deleted if they remain unused, to give people time to notice that they've been taken off a page -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 03:39 3 October 2009 (BST)

No, that's why I haven't been worried too much by the problems I've outlined above before, because it's been obvious to me for a while.

0x0 Images

As you can see by this example: Image:2cola.jpg, 0x0 images are unusable images that come across once every while. It is a result of offering a corrupt file to the wiki. The images are unusable and already deleted without thought on A/SD. Because users get redirected to their image once they've uploaded it, the author of the image is already made aware of it's state and hence all 0x0 images I've seen get discarded upon upload.

Removal of the porn scheduled deletion

Title says it all. We remove the porn scheduled deletion. Each time it's been used, it's spawned a misconduct case so it's clear it isn't working from the "communities" point of view. The most gaping area with the current one is the lack of definition - although I thought about replacing it with "Photographic depictions of human genitalia and female nipples will be deleted on sight" although that just leaves gray area (although it's been reduced,) and we'll get bogged down in definitions again. If someone uploads an offensive image, then they get taken to A/VB. If the case is ruled vandalism then the user receives a warning and the image is deleted (this is already covered under the fact that all vandalism is deleted.) To warn users about the consequences of uploading potentially offensive imagery, "uploading inappropriate (eg. sexually explicit) images may be deemed to be vandalism and deleted as such without notice" will be added to MediaWiki:Uploadtext (the text that is displayed when uploading a file.)

To summarize, the porn scheduled deletion is removed on A/G. Linkthewindow Talk 13:54, 19 July 2009 (BST)

Please skim through the discussion regarding this before voting. Linkthewindow Talk 14:17, 19 July 2009 (BST)

The biggest problem with immediately deleting a completely obvious porno shot these days - whether we have a policy allowing it or not - is that there is a much higher chance of drama being generated over it because "how do I know it was what you say it was?" than there used to be. All someone needs to do is give the shit they're uploading an innocuous-sounding name and all bets are off, particularly since the sysop that deleted the image is often the only one that saw it. Can you imagine trying to sell an A/VB case on a user who uploaded "sunshine.JPG" for uploading explicit porn? Ideally we should just be able to rely on common sense for deleting obvious porn on sight and A/D for the more ambiguous things but look where doing either of these things got us even with a policy in place. --Cyberbob 16:51, 19 July 2009 (BST)

Goatse images have been deleted on sight and the user permanently banned in the past. It was pretty obvious what they were doing, frankly. I think the image was called duck, in case anyone was wondering. :/ -- AHLG T G THE END IS NIGH! 18:30, 19 July 2009 (BST)

You didn't answer my question: what recourse does a sysop have, after this schedule is removed, to delete offensive images without being misconducted??? I'm actually looking out for the sysops here... you just don't see that, probably --WanYao 19:28, 19 July 2009 (BST)
No, clearly inappropriate images can be deleted as soon as they are reported on A/VB, and confirmed by someone credible so that they can act as a witness that the image is as described. Usually goatse (or similar) will be found by some other user and reported to A/VB in short order by an ordinary user. The first sysop along can delete immediately because images deemed to be vandalism are automatically deleted as bad faith edits -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 22:57 19 July 2009 (BST)

Adbot related pages

Any page created by an adbot, or created to reference a particular adbot, or any comments about a banned adbot, are to be deleted. This includes the deletion request of such pages/comments itself (after a period of three days after the deletion request was proccessed) --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [wcdz]} 18:19, 15 July 2009 (BST)

For those voting against this, a word on how search engines work: web crawlers read the content of your page and associate whatever keyword they find to the link. If an adbot creates a user page with the name of a product he is selling, this page will count as a mention for that product's keyword, hence strengthening its value on the search engine. This is a lesser problem with simple comments but actual pages with the products name can be harmful to this community (like, simply saying spam product is less harmful than linking to a page named whatever spam product). This criterion might appear heavy-handed on removing all comments, but it serves two purposes: a) guarantes that the relevance of any search for these keyword wont be improved by this wiki and b) guarantes that the relevance of any search about urbandead wont be mixed with one of a spammer site. --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [wcdz]} 23:27, 19 July 2009 (BST)

Not quite. In short, once any external links are gone, mentioning the product will not benefit the spammer or harm UD. --Midianian 00:06, 20 July 2009 (BST)

Crit 11

Non-existent User Page: The page is a User: page for a user that doesn't exist, and any content on the page has been moved to the appropriate User: or Journal: page.

A Crit 11 is a rare criterion which should be a scheduled deletion. The pages serve no purpose on the wiki, are already deleted on sight through A/SD, and because of the last requirement: "and any content on the page has been moved to the appropriate User: or Journal: page", to qualify as a Crit 11, these non-existant user pages have to be duped somewhere else upon deletion, also classing them as Crit 1's.

I proposed that confirmed Crit 11's be deleted on sight, because to be a crit 11 the information needs to already be duplicated in the correct user/journal space and hence the incorrect page holds no value on the wiki when it is submitted to A/SD, through its current system.

Crit 7 by Proxy

If a user leaves a sysop a note on their (i.e the sysop's) talk page requesting deletion of a page that falls under Crit 7, the Sysop may delete the page on sight, making clear in the edit summary that the user requested it via talk page.

Yar - Doesn't happen often, but would trim that pesky tape a bit. -- C h e e s e 20:56, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Yep - As long as the edit summary links to the talk page. We shouldn't be encouraging people use sysop's talk pages for deletions, but this does cut down on the red tape for newer users who don't know the system. Linkthewindow Talk 20:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Yep as long as the request os mentioned in the deletion log. --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 21:08, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

No - crit 7 is an author only edit, if it was restricted to pages only in their own namespace I would agree, however often group pages are only edited by one wiki-literate member. They shouldn't be allowed to request the deletion of group pages with no record left as to why except on some other users talk page (sysop talk pages can be simply wiped after all). There are also many template pages that are used by all over the wiki that have only been edited by one person, they shouldn't be deleted without the chance for review on A/SD. History wipes also make it hard to tell who created or edited older pages. Crit 7 isn't as simple as it may seem, and so shouldn't be open to scheduled deletion -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 09:33 17 March 2009 (BST)
Crit 12 still applies on all groups and if there was actual content on the page hopefully the sysop that got the request would be able to determine if the request should be honored. Also, the difference between say a "play on names" template like the slew that Tselita created and a Danger Report template is vast. We do still have an Undeletions page in case an error is made.--– Nubis ^NWO 13:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
The abolition of Crit 12 has nothing to do with Crit 7. The templates I was referring to were ones like this. If they're being used on other people's pages, they shouldn't be seen as being "owned" by the sole contributor, and Crit 7ed. Crit 7 needs watering down, not being made even more arbitrary, in that the author only has to convince a single sysop to get rid of it, and no one else will see it because they don't watch people's talk pages like they do A/SD. This has nothing to do with Teslita's stupid templates, which would go under crit 10 if they're not used -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 00:59 18 March 2009 (BST)
convince a single sysop to get rid of it Here is your problem. You don't trust the judgment of the sysops. Sysops that got the position based on knowledge of the wiki, policy, and desire to contribute. Yet, now you seem to think that they aren't competent to know when a page should be kept or deleted. If you trust them enough to ban users why say they can't delete pages? Besides, worst case scenario, gods forbid you have to click *undelete*.--– Nubis ^NWO 18:27, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Sysops make mistakes. Yes, restoring is easy, but who's going to notice the error? The request is only on your page and only sysops can access the page (and the page's history). There aren't that many of you. --Midianian^{¦T¦DS¦SP¦} 19:18, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

"If you trust them enough to ban users why say they can't delete pages?" Because we can't ban users without saying why on an admin page, same should be true with deletions unless they're extremely cut and dried, which crit 7 isn't! -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 11:42 24 March 2009 (BST)

Amendment to Rule 1

Current Rule: Unused Image Removal - Images on the Unused Image list that are a month old are to be deleted.

Exemption Clause - Any images that are used in various status based templates will be exempt from being deleted. Examples include:

Image:Mall-safe-small.jpg - used in danger reports
Image:Burb-edge-green.gif - used on the Omnimap
Image:Maltel-active-small.jpg - used in mast danger reports

Since these are dependent on the status of various things, it's possible that they may occasionally become unused, and if they are over a month old, they might very well get deleted by accident. I make this request because it's already happened, and of course you can't undelete images.

These images could be allocated a new category for ease (Say: Status Components, or whatever sounds appropriate) and anything categorised as such would fall into this exemption. -- Rooster Dragon 18:53, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

User Page Redirects

Pages made solely to attack/discredit/whatever another user (example: User X is a filthy PKer, we must killz him nao! or the recent Boxy/Ioncannon is a cunt) can be deleted on sight.

Aye - Some of this is already scheduled (solely vandal pages) but this just takes care of Trenchy n00bs posting their grievances all over the place because someone killed them. -- C h e e s e 22:15, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
No - pages may be made, esp. in the group or user sub-page area, to discredit players or other users (ie. this). Pages that use extreme swearing in their titles, however... -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 22:19 7 November 2008 (BST)
I'm meaning in the main namespace. User and Group pages are fine. I really should have put that in. =p -- C h e e s e 22:22, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
I still think that arbitration or vandal banning are better ways to determine the outcome in attack pages. It can be a tricky area that may need extended discussion, rather than just a single sysops opinion on the intent of a page. The ones titled "xxxx is a cunt" could probably be taken out though, as pure flamebait -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 22:30 7 November 2008 (BST)

If it is going to be deleted as an attack page it should be reported as vandalism. That simple.--– Nubis ^NWO 22:54, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Sure there is, it's called the No Needless Policies rule.

Aye - If you're looking to change someone's behaviour, making an attack page about them is much more likely to get their back up than to convince them of the error of their ways. So I think the ill-will generated by these sorts of pages outweighs any informational benefit they may have. Still, Boxy does have a good point that the line between okay and not-okay for a page like this is not always obvious, and so for these sorts of decisions, going through a process like A/SD or A/D that gives (at least) a second opinion is useful, in showing fair process and avoiding drama. If putting attack pages through A/SD was an option on the table I would support it, but delete-on-sight is the option that's available, so it'll do. With regards to just treating this as vandalism, it can be may be too easy for sysops to say something like 'Sysops are not moderators' or 'those old civility policies got rejected' and let people get away with making pages to insult or demean others. The advantage of having something like this spelt out is that it stops that. --Toejam 07:48, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
You know, you can propose it as a policy and it'll be put to a full vote. That's how crit 12 both was made and died along with pretty much every new sd crit beyond the originals.--Karek^maps?! 23:58, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Swearing in Page Titles

Pages that have swearing in the title that is directed at a user or group (or their actions) are to be added to the scheduled deletions list. This would include pages like "boxy is a cunt" or "petition to ban that bastard hagnat" but not pages like "Blackmore Bastards". Other examples of swearing in page titles should be taken to A/SD or A/D for removal.

No - not unless you can give a satisfactory definition of what an attack image is -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 02:05 8 November 2008 (BST)
That image would not be considered an attack image because of how obviously a satire it is. I'm thinking of something like a derogatory portrayal of what the uploader might think the subject might be IRL, or maybe a photoshopped version of a photo of them or something of that nature. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 03:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps a little reading would be appropriate, as Grim and Bob knew what I had meant, hence the reason why it was on their pages. Now then. I believe the types of images that Bob is referring to is like the one in this vandal banning report. You know, the image and template that called for a specific user's death? --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule ^{School's back in session™}} 16:48, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Sarcasm: witty language used to convey insults or scorn. Sarcasm is a witty form of attack, Akule. Just because Grim sees and collects attacks on him as some sort of badge of honour, doesn't make it less of an attack. I know what Bob is getting at here, but there is no clear way to draw a line between unacceptable attacks on a persons character, and sarcastic wit. Take it to A/SD -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 02:20 9 November 2008 (BST)

Your link was unavailable when I tried to check it. It works now, and it's first definition is Satire: a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn. Ridicule and scorn. Yep, similar to the definition I gave, it's an attack on someone's behaviour.

You proved my point. I have a functioning text link to that image. You also have a functioning text link to the image. Both links still work so there really isn't an issue of which one is "proper format". If my link wasn't "proper" it shouldn't work.

No - not all unused templates should be deleted. Often ones that are only used to "subst:" onto a page come up as unused.

Abandoned Group Pages

Any group page that has had no edits made to it for more than a month and consists of no more than a group box and a few lines of generic text may be deleted if the following conditions are fulfilled: 1) There is no evidence of the group appearing on the Game Stats page. 2) A note has been left on the creators talk page asking them about the group's status. 3) The aforementioned note has not been replied to within 7 days, or the response was for deletion.
If after the week, there has been no reply (or the response indicated that the page can be deleted) the page may be deleted. If the user replies after the page has been deleted that they still want it, it can simply be Undeleted.

No - Give them 2 weeks and I vote Yes. --WanYao 20:15, 11 July 2008 (BST)
Change - How about instead of being a delete on sight or having to be placed on A/SD we make it so that if you find a mostly blank page you post on the creator's talk page telling them it needs content then after 2 weeks if it isn't changed you can delete it. This way we don't delete a page too hastily, we document that we intend to delete the page (same function as posting it on A/SD), and besides the author might reply to your post with a "go ahead" giving that sysop approval to delete it.
And in regards to being abused, we are supposed to be trusted users here. All actions on this thing are documented and traceable back to the person that did it. If someone's page is deleted it can be restored (unlike images). If a sysop is in the habit (more than twice) of deleting pages that people keep requesting undeleted then that is clearly misconduct.--– Nubis ^NWO 20:40, 11 July 2008 (BST)

Yes -- I think we should expand the definition to include uncensored nipples and and any visible genitalia. I don't have anything against nudity, but there shouldn't have to be a WORK SAFE/NOT WORK SAFE warning on the wiki. (text is different).Just to be on the safe side.--– Nubis ^NWO 23:18, 8 July 2008 (BST)

Haha - Let's have the whole what is text rape argument again! That was a hoot.--– Nubis ^NWO 20:50, 11 July 2008 (BST)
No - Because we need a definition of "porn". And the whole idea that what is porn vs. what is art? is often debatable. I mean look at photobucket, for example... Deleting art left right and centre, losers. Still, I think no photographic nudity, as per nubis, is pretty acceptable and if such a definition were added, I'd certainly vote Yes. --WanYao 20:13, 11 July 2008 (BST)
I think this may have come up because someone uploaded an image that was basically a woman's gaping vagina forming the mouth (and considerable beard!) of a dwarf with MSPaint eyes and helmet. That is neither artistic nor overtly sexual or portraying a sex act, but still pornography. Unless you want to classify it as gynecology. I think in blatant cases like that the whole "but is it porn?" debate is moot. --– Nubis ^NWO 20:49, 11 July 2008 (BST)
that would be obscenity not pornography... there is a huge difference. That said actual porn should be banned but certainly not images which are merely "raunchy" the problem here is going to be definitions. I know people who think page 3 and FHM are porn while i know of one person who is adamant that his copulating werewolf/human pics are "interspecies erotica"; he's wrong in oh so many ways but still!--Honestmistake 20:59, 11 July 2008 (BST)
Using your definition of "raunchy" tubgirl is just raunchy. Would you allow that on here? I think it comes down to "is this appropriate or just for shock value?" For instance, with my example, that's just shock value. With Bullgod's fine art it can be appropriate (on a museum page or relating to a group perhaps). Outside the context of fine art meaning classical statues/paintings, I really can't see any reason to post nudity on this wiki. I also don't think that any sysop on here is so new to the internet that they would get offended by a Page 3 girl or FHM. Hell, I wouldn't even be offended by tubgirl, but I know that's not appropriate for the wiki. I don't think this is something that needs a rigid definition. I think it comes down to do we trust the sysops judgment on what would be appropriate.--– Nubis ^NWO 00:16, 12 July 2008 (BST)
Gad, that was a retarded example, Nubis. Those are all retarded examples. The reality is that most calls are going to be obvious... However, there have been calls to delete the Slaves of the Mistress wiki in the past... So, there ARE people who're going to try to impose their morarlity on things that are not obviously over-the-top images. But... then again... But you kids wanna play this game, with these definitions and examples? Ooooookay... Here's an issue: the gore and the violence that is represented visually on here (it *is* a horror genre game, after all...) is just fine for a 12 year old kid to see? but a nice artistic picture of a naked woman? BANNED CENSORED ZOMG BOOBIES!!! --WanYao 21:47, 12 July 2008 (BST)
Ok, Wan, then what is the answer on the gaping vagina dwarf picture (which is a real example of something that was uploaded)? Is that in genre? Is that appropriate? Is that art? It isn't about censorship. It's about what is appropriate to a zombie apocalypse wiki. Violence and gore are standard to the genre. Did you happen to miss the part where I said With Bullgod's fine art it can be appropriate (on a museum page or relating to a group perhaps). or do you just want to argue with me and use all caps to spew catchphrases and say BOOBIES? And where the fuck did this 12 year old kid come into play? This isn't a "think of the children" argument. It is a "How does this giant picture of a vagina as a dwarf fit in with zombies" discussion. (at least in these indents).

But, I will admit that my no visible genitalia/nipples comment is a bit confusing. The intent wasn't against artistic nudity in classical art, but against posting things like cam whores writing people's character's names over their tits.--– Nubis ^NWO 22:47, 12 July 2008 (BST)
I just think it was silly, by both you and honestmistake, to bring up examples that are so obviously inappropriate... very man-o-strawish... As for everything else, you're kind of arguing around me, or beside me, or something... Because we're pretty much in agreement here... Except that I put forward the caveat that one man's art can be another man's obsceneity, thus we have to be careful. That's all. I honestly seems like you're arguing with me just for the sake of arguing with me here. Whatever. --WanYao 09:24, 13 July 2008 (BST)

Ok... but let's bring up something else... you mentioned what's part of the genre... gore is part of genre... yes... And, ok, the Romero movies do not have nudity, but a HUGE section of the genre elsewhere DOES. Return of the Living Dead has ZOMG not only boobies, but FULL FRONTAL. Nudity being part of the whole B-movie sexploitation horror genre, within which a giant chunk of zombie flicks fit... basically we're talking out our asses here now, because close-up money shots are not fucking appropriate. Photos of chicks shooting wet farts 6 feet in the air are not appropriate. Any idiot can figure that out. So why are you arguing with me? Beyond that, I've already said where I stand. --WanYao 09:36, 13 July 2008 (BST)
This whole side debate is a good example of why formalizing it in this manner is probably a bad idea, we all know what is meant by the proposed policy, it's not complicated.--Karek^maps?! 00:55, 14 July 2008 (BST)

Uhm... yeah... this discussion kind of got out of hand... Anyhoo... And if there is debate on a particular image, whether it's pr0n or art? Well... it can go to a vote and the community decides its standards and boundaries. --WanYao 03:54, 15 July 2008 (BST)
Vote on a scheduled deletion? The whole point of scheduled deletions is that it's immediate. No, someone's just going to delete it and end up in misconduct. --Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 12:07, 15 July 2008 (BST)
I am not talking about scheduled deletions anymore. Some things are going to be pretty obvious, and will be immediately deleted. Others, which are not obvious, will be put to a vote. i.e., the status quo -- but I'm kinda defining my preferred methodology within it... --WanYao 03:01, 17 July 2008 (BST)
yea, but only half way. i agree with no genitals, but a bare behind or a woman's bare chest are not enough to warrant me calling something pornography. thats like saying the Venus De Milo or Picasso's famous Blue Nude are inappropriate, and im not willing to go that far. --Bullgod 23:36, 11 July 2008 (BST)
yea, but leave the debate open as to what is and isn't porn. I do agree, however, if anyone posts any long films of people having sex that they should be removed.-- Techercizer^(Food)_(TSoE) 06:32, 12 July 2008 (BST)
No - already covered under the automatic deletion of bad faith vandalism, and this just opens the door for people to delete images, call them porn (a hard to define concept in the gray areas) and have no comeback. If someone is uploading porn to the wiki, the evidence should be kept at least long enough for another sysop to make or confirm a ruling of vandalism -- boxy ^{talk • i} 12:05 12 July 2008 (BST)

Also, a dwarf made from a gaping vagina isn't porn. A still from a sex-ed video isn't porn either.

Personal information

If a user wants personal information about themselves deleted from the wiki, they should be able to get it speedy deleted. Things like your name, your phone number, your email or home address, your workplace, pictures of your family etc. We can't stop someone who is determined to spread your private details, but at least we can not let them use the wiki to do it. Toejam 18:37, 9 April 2008 (BST)

Nay horseys - 1. Wrong Place, 2. Already covered in, if not by word, by the spirit of the existence of the UDWiki:Privacy_policy, if we can't give out personal information(IPs) why would personal information(street addresses, phone numbers, etc.) be given out. Especially considering you can use one to get the other. I'm sure there's more policy on this somewhere but even if there isn't spamming other user's personal information is vandalism, easily.--Karek^maps?! 18:02, 17 April 2008 (BST)
The privacy policy covers how data gathered through server logs or administrators' IP checks will be released, but it doesn't cover regular wiki users, only mods, nor does it cover information gained by methods other than server logs or IP checks. And this SD would allow anyone to have their personal information taken off the wiki, not just if the info was being spammed. --Toejam 20:24, 24 April 2008 (BST)
This would be an incident where I'd recommend you trust a SysOps judgement in this instead of insisting every little thing we can and do do be mentioned in a policy somewhere. It's bad for the wiki and it's bad for users trying to understand the rules of the wiki. If this kind of information is being posted somewhere alert a SysOp and they should deal with it, I know if it's mentioned on my talk page or A/VB, etc. I'll make it a top priority to not only delete it but to remove it from the histories as well.--Karek^maps?! 23:58, 24 April 2008 (BST)

This doesnt affect those being used, and for unused images you have to wait a month. This is to dispose of such images quickly and efficiently to discourage the use fo the wiki as an image hosting service. --The Grimch ^{U! E! WAT!} 01:43, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

If something is speedy it doesn't need to be scheduled unless it's like deleting old image revisions. Lately this seems to have been forgotten, as shown by requests like this one.

+#'''yes''' - I wanted to put this forward about 6 months ago but I heard some very good reasons not to. There ''are'' some interesting reasons why missed talk pages shouldn't be deleted on sight but honestly I never cared and I just think they should be gone. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 00:26, 5 May 2010 (BST)
+#'''No''' As much as I like the idea, someones still going to have to submit them. It's not like the mods will go looking for them. The process via speedy deletion remains unchanged by this suggested policy. -{{User:Poodle_of_doom/signiture}} 01:33, 5 May 2010 (BST)
+#:Point the one: Some people use IRC and point things out to sysops there. Point the two: Many Crit 5s are noticed by sysops double-checking each other's work, who are currently required to post them to A/SD, rather than being allowed to act on them themselves. In fact, it's already common practice on IRC for sysops to nudge each other whenever one discovers a Crit 5. The nudging is then usually followed up by mutual griping about how much Crit 5 sucks. All of these are common situations that run contrary to your last statement. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 01:45, 5 May 2010 (BST)
+#::So you notice a missed talk page, you tell someone about it via IRC, and they delete it. I notice it, tell someone via SD, and they delete it... how is it contrary to my statement? Aside from IRC being made to look like a massive bitch fest to keep drama off the wiki that is.... -{{User:Poodle_of_doom/signiture}} 04:10, 5 May 2010 (BST)
+#:::Your statement was that the process remains unchanged by scheduling Crit 5s for deletion. I gave examples of how scheduling it would allow sysops to act immediately and directly, rather than having to wait and rely on others. Assuming what I say is true, then your statement cannot be correct, since I've given a counter-example that refutes your claim of no change occurring. Of course, you could argue that it wouldn't be changed ''in practice'', since you said that "mods" don't go looking for Crit 5s, but so far in 2010 (and based on my quick skimming through the archives), just one shy of half the Crit 5s have been submitted by sysops, and if we count Yonnua, then it is over half. So, I'd say that the process is changed both in theory and in practice. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 05:43, 5 May 2010 (BST)
+#:What a stupid reason. "it ''should'' be a scheduled, but it won't be used all that much by sysops, so I'm voting no". IMO most occurrences of these are noticed by ops and as an ex op, I think this reduction of red tape would be quite appealing. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 04:43, 5 May 2010 (BST)
+#::What a stupid reason? It's like the mass majority of idiots to go fuck with a system that works perfectly. If it works, leave it alone,... Last thing we need is for a bunch of pages to be deleted all willy nilly, though rightfully so. At lease this way, no one else can bitch about what you people have done... -{{User:Poodle_of_doom/signiture}} 13:27, 5 May 2010 (BST)
+#:::No, I don't think you understand, and judging from how you act in these situations I doubt you ever will. The system doesn't work personally, and from a user who is both an ex-op from this wiki and an op from several other ''small'' wiki's, one principle stays true to not just our ideals but also the practical application to the extended powers of a sysop: if it doesn't harm anybody, it's barely used and it removes red tape, then the inhibiting rule shouldn't even ''be there''. This fits my rule. I tend to think you're judging this rule in its practical application compared to its principle (and even then, you've got its practical potential wrong anyway, imo). --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 18:11, 5 May 2010 (BST)

+For the purposes of this proposed deletion, a "defunct group" is one whose page has been deleted from the wiki through either of the deletion pages. If a defunct group has any images related to their group (provided that they are otherwise unused) they may be deleted along with the group page. -- {{User:Krazy_Monkey/sig}} 00:00, 3 October 2009 (BST)

+#'''Yes''' - Deleting a group's page and subpages should also bring with it the deletion of images used only on those pages. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 00:09, 3 October 2009 (BST)

+#:So look guys, here's the thing. Speedy crits exist so users can request deletions at a quickened pace, Scheduling exists so sysops can quicken universal maintenance. If something is speedy it doesn't need to be scheduled unless it's like deleting old image revisions. Lately this seems to have been forgotten, as shown by requests like this one. Stop with the excessive duplication simply to allow sysops to circumvent standard user procedure that applies to everyone else it can, and has, only caused problems. --<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev#Buildings_Update_Danger_Maps|maps 2.0?!]]</font></sup></small> 00:02, 16 August 2011 (BST)
