STILL no change of template.

A new colour, a different image, ANYTHING! --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:28, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Template has been changed?--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:31, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
How? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:31, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Completely different text, and I just changed the colour.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:32, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
It occurs you may mean a different template.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:33, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Much better. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:34, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Can it be blue? :D --Michalesonbadge.pngTCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 22:43, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Link me to a good blue.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:44, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
#99E5FF or #0070FF --Michalesonbadge.pngTCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 22:47, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
I've included a test template at the bottom of this page to test colours. 99E5FF looks too bright to me, but 0070FF could work. What do people think?--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 22:52, 21 January 2011 (UTC)


Test Template

Stop hand.png Group Inactive?
No reply has been recieved as to whether this group is still active. The 14 days have passed and as such the groups link has been removed from suburb listings. If the group is again active please feel free to revert these changes

Also...

We always used to link the header on group's talk pages back to this page, so they could see what we were on about. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 23:07, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

There's a link in the text (I think), but I'll do it anyway.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 23:09, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Done. Now, I'm off to bed, so I'll leave everything to everybody else. If I've messed up anything else, it's down to you lot to deal with it.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 23:18, 21 January 2011 (UTC)


Logistics, logistics, logistics

Before everyone goes jumping in, let's make sure it gets done right this time by handling all of the issues that need figuring out in advance. So, quickly, here are some concerns I have:

  1. Having both the GSM2010suburb and GSM2011suburb template on the suburb talk pages will break some pages (probably quite a few, in fact, since just the GSM2010suburb by itself broke a page or two last year). The template is simply too big, and having it included multiple times on the same page was not something I planned for when I made it, so either we need to remove last year's template, or else we need to rework/remove the use of the template this year. Personally, I'm in favor of just removing the old one entirely and slapping a new one on the pages.
  2. I think I can clean up the code for GSM2011suburb some more so that you don't have to fill in signatures as many times. Let me take a look at that before we get going, but don't wait for me if I drag my heels.
  3. What's the procedure for coordinating groups that are listed in multiple suburbs? For instance, if I'm in charge of suburb A, Yonn has B, and Misanthropy has C, and a group that used to be listed in all three now says they are only in A and C, do I mark them as confirmed for A, Mis does the same for C, and Yonn marks them as removed from B? Or is there something more to it than that?
  4. What day does it start on? We don't want people jumping the gun.
  5. How do we deal with groups that do not provide a list of suburbs they are in, but do respond as if it were the same as previous years?

Most of these should be quick and easy to figure out, but I just wanted to make sure they weren't glossed over and that we hadn't missed anything with them, so having some more eyes looking at them should help us find any trouble areas in advance. Aichon 00:31, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

1 - Archive.
2 - Work your magic!
3 - That's exactly what I figured happened.
4 - Seems to have already started (or else three or four of us have already jumped the gun)
5 - Remove them from all suburbs, as they were specifically asked to provide a list. No compromise. Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 00:35, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Archiving works, can't work magic since people started and it'd be awkward now, sounds good, you all suck for jumping the gun just like last year, and I'd like some other consideration on the matter since we're breaking them in and don't want too many complaints.

I'll go back and archive for the burbs I've done. And to be honest, if we're just going to make things even easier for people who refuse to read, there's little point actually adding this new clause.
