| == Template:Nosubst ==
| |
| | |
| Just thought I'd clarify my beliefs here in the hope that we don't have to keep going back-and-forth on the admin pages. Basically, templated signatures are allowed and have been for years because they cleanup code and allow signature changes to be retroactive. <br />Yes, {{tl|Nosubst}} is hack to get around the software but it's a hack which is easier than trying to get Kevan to change the wiki settings and it doesn't particularly break anything.
| |
| <br />If we want to ban templated signatures on the wiki, then I believe we should go about it like this:
| |
| #'''Make a policy on signature length''' - to prevent the clutter of massive substituted sigs.
| |
| #Make a policy banning the use of templated signatures.
| |
| #Delete {{tl|Nosubst}} '''after''' 1) and 2) have been done.
| |
| The reasoning: Templated sigs prevent massive quantities of clutter in the page code. The reason that other Wikis can do without them so effectively is that they limit signature length. If we want to do without templated signatures then that should really include a requirement for shorter signatures.
| |
| <br />
| |
| | |
| If you just want to get rid of the ugly hack that is {{tl|Nosubst}} then I would suggest we should:
| |
| #Persuade Kevan to add <code>$wgCleanSignatures = false;</code> to the settings file.
| |
| #Delete the template '''after''' Kevan has made the change.
| |
| --{{User:The General/sig}} 13:22, 2 May 2011 (BST)
| |
| :Ah, right. Well, we effectively have a limit on normal signature length now with the new wiki software version (255 chars, I believe), and a lot of users have already made the switch so as to reduce the load on various high-use pages. Passing a signature amendment policy is probably a better way to go about it, yeah; I was unaware that the original ''status quo'' permitted un-SUBST'd templated sigs. (History doesn't go back that far in most cases.) {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 13:36, 2 May 2011 (BST)
| |
| ::Yes, but people can still use templates to get around it. Given that {{[[Template:Goonsig|Goonsig]]}} takes up about 9 lines of code then I would suggest that we need a policy in order to actually enforce it. Yes, lots of wiki history is lost by the fact that the history archives are purged, which sometimes makes it difficult to determine why a lot of stuff is done the way it is.--{{User:The General/sig}} 13:50, 2 May 2011 (BST)
| |
| Here's a thought… {{cquote||
| |
| ;What wouldn't be allowed
| |
| *Signatures which generally break the wiki in some way either through formatting or other means.

| ::Only problem is that templated sigs don't actually break the wiki.--{{User:The General/sig}} 13:50, 2 May 2011 (BST)
| |
| :::Actually, on many occasions they do, they constantly break inclusion limits and they're the only vehicle for signatures that can actually crash pages.

| |
| ::::It doesn't happen that often because most pages are archived off before we get to the limit. As for code spam, I'm pretty sure that the template inclusion limits prevent Jedaz's evil text from working anymore?--{{User:The General/sig}} 14:15, 2 May 2011 (BST)
| |
| :::::Actually I had to go on a template reduction spree because half the sysops were using templated sigs and breaking the required functionality templates on pages like [[A/VB]].

| :Generally no because standard templates do that too, practically yes though.

| |
| Also, another note: just deleting the page doesn't solve the problem because there's nothing to stop someone just recreating it in their userspace.

| ::{{tl|if equal}} should help ''but'', I think you'd have to use the if template in your user preferences and would likely hit the 255 character limit. You'll want to play around with magic words that determine the namespace. UDWiki is namespace 4. The "ns" magic word you'd use is <nowiki>{{ns:4}}</nowiki> which produces '''{{ns:4}}'''. That's probably a pretty good starting point. Basically a if statement that uses one sig if on ns4 and another sig if otherwise. It would be best I think if both sigs have their own template. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] [[File:Etat.gif|link=http://on.cnn.com/lIVw45|Amurica. Fuck.

| :According to [[UDWiki:Moderation/Policy Discussion]]: "''This wiki attempts to work on the same guidelines as most wikis - policy is made by the users, '''not by the gatekeepers'''. In light of this, here is the place for people to discuss hot-topics regarding what we should consider acceptable and unacceptable. The community should keep track of what's going on here, and work to ensure that any guidelines or policy statements are indicative of the general mood described here.''" Technically, the policy discussion page states that policies are decided by the community and not by the sysops, and since there isn't a specific rule/guideline/policy/criteria for removing humorous policies (like we do for suggestions), so its removal shouldn't be allowed. There is a precedent of reverting a policy that changes mid-vote, but that doesn't invalidate the whole policy. If the user wanted the policy to change, then they could either withdraw it to change and cause a re-vote, or let it go through as originally written. Now, I could see an argument of Vandalism, as the creation of the policy could be argued to not be a good faith edit, however, I don't recall a specific policy that the creation of a policy like this violates (after all, the [[UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Stop Making Stupid Policies|Stop Making Stupid Policies]] did not pass). If a ruling of vandalism is the case, then one could also argue [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion/Cede_All_Authority_to_a_Box_of_Adorable_Puppies&diff=prev&oldid=1882336 this edit] was not an edit in good faith, as the edit prior to it [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki:Administration/Policy_Discussion&diff=prev&oldid=1882335 stated the intent to just mess with the proposed policy document] instead of striking the policy (recall a [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning#User:Ryu|recent case]] over messing with policy documents). --{{User:Akule/sig}} 21:13, 22 May 2011 (BST)

| |
| | |
| The signatures being used by members of The Dead are clearly intended to irritate and/or obfuscate who is who and frankly the <span> crap makes editing pages far less pleasant. If you want to bring it up in the wiki admin area then do so, but I really don't give much of a crap. So far as I'm concerned it's improving the wiki. --[[User:Lord K|Lord K]] 05:39, 24 May 2011 (BST)

First, it's not my fault if you don't read your PMs, and second, a week wouldn't have passed until it is June 15. Would have PMed you again, but looking at how long it was unread, I figured it might be better to pester an active crat on his talk page. Additionally, I figured you would just have the PKA's best interests at heart, and thus not have a problem defending your decision in a place where the broader PKer public (whose interests the PKA serves) can see it, rather than behind closed door.<br>As for access, I'm limited to

Given the area the current op is staged in, I have no doubt there will be zerging by the local survivor population, zerging which's detection might depend on another set of eyes seeing it in time. Would be a shame if the hints would be seen with weeks of delay and if the window of opportunity would close before the op's end, wouldn't it?<br>Plus, there is no precedent of people being restricted from the PKA but for the most severe reasons (like being caught zerging). Even in the ACC hunt, members of their alt PKer group had still full access to the PKA and had regularly logged in, and their interests were much more conflicted than our mere disinterest.

| :::::::::::MS is correct. To enforce a rule without understanding the context it exists in and the problem it was created to use usually results in bureaucratic abuse. (c.f. PATRIOT Act and numerous “anti-terrorism” laws all over the globe.)<br/> The scheduled deletion was voted in to prevent “vanity pages” such as [[Rosslessness]] and [[AHLG]]. This is a baby and bathwater type deal. These pages do no harm and serve a useful purpose in making users/characters easier to find. (Diskspace = cheep!) Of course, '''if there is any other possible claim to the page name''', then it should be aggressively followed up; for example, as DDR pointed out, the two groups I put on the on the [[Revenant]] disambiguation page that I created certainly deserve to be represented, although IMO as inactive groups they do not deserve equal billing.<br/> That said, that's a whole 'nother debate which I don't have time to spearhead right now, so I am glad that my actions have served to spur discussion on this issue. {{User:Revenant/Sig}} 23:03, 9 July 2011 (BST)
