| If you want to report a bug, put it up on the [[Bug Reports]] page for review.
| |
| | |
| If you've got a question about the Wiki, use the [[Wiki Questions]] and another user will see it and answer it.
| |
| | |
| If you want to discuss game balance or the future of the game, try a [[Unofficial UD Forums|discussion forum]].
| |
| | |
| If you'd like to respond to someone who's posted here, you should do so on their talk page.
| |
| | |
| If you're from the future, there are a [[User Talk:Kevan/Archive|couple]] of [[User Talk:Kevan/Archive2|archives]].
| |
| | |
| If you'd like to speak to an operator, please hold.

| *#Kevan's talk page is about the only way to contact Kevan and thus deserves special attention

| #Kevan's talk page rules

| #*Hardcode them into the policy? Or just reference them in case that Kevan changes them?
| |
| #Spam/Harassment should be generally forbidden on Kevan's talk page (see [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2010_12#User:Poodle_of_doom|current doodles case]])

| *'''What else???'''
| |
| | |
| =Draft=
| |
| This is a policy to provide better defense for [[User talk:Kevan]].
| |
| | |
| ==Reasoning==
| |
| While Kevan is technically a normal user (apart from being the root admin), he can't be reasonably expected to put that much time into the wiki to enforce his interests on the usual channels, such as by using [[A/A]] to enforce his talk page rules.
| |
| | |
| Furthermore, Kevan's talk page isn't just widely watch-listed, but is also virtually the only channel to contact the game's creator. To keep it effective, it's important to keep it clean from spam, harassment and off-topic comments, and to discourage posting either of that on it.
| |
| | |
| ==Implementation==
| |
| [[UDWiki:Specific Case Editing Guidelines]] should be expanded to contain the following under the [[UDWiki:Specific_Case_Editing_Guidelines#User:_and_User_talk:_pages|User: and User talk: pages]] header:
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>===[[User talk: Kevan]]===</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| [[User talk: Kevan]] is a special case, as it is virtually the only effective channel to contact the game's creator.
| |
| | |
| In addition to the normal User talk:-rules above, performing the following actions on [[User talk: Kevan]] is generally treated as [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal Banning|vandalism]], without the need to put every individual case through [[UDWiki:Administration/Arbitration|Arbitration]]:
| |
| *Reporting bugs. (Go to [[Bug Reports]] instead.)
| |
| *Asking questions about the wiki itself. (Go to [[Wiki Questions]] instead.)
| |
| *Discussing game balance or the future of the game. (Go to one of the [[Unofficial UD Forums|discussion forums]] instead.)
| |
| *Making extended responses to someone else's posts. (Do so on the talk page of the respective user instead.)
| |
| *Putting spam and harassment on it, such as by repeatedly asking for the same thing or making off-topic comments. (Simply don't.)
