The Great Suburb Group Massacre/2010
Once Upon a Time...
All the groups listed in suburbs were known active groups. Probably not entirely accurate anymore, and the suburb pages could use a good scrub anyways. So here we are once again, checking to see who is active and worthy of keeping the prime real estate known as the Surburb Group Template!
What To Do
Contact
This time around we are doing slightly more in an effort to hear back from (hopefully) more groups and see less groups re-adding themselves to the Suburb Group Template after the massacre.
Just as before, type {{Group Active?}} on a group's talk page. This produces this:
 |
Group Active? Request. |
| In order to maintain the wiki as an up to date source of information groups are occasionally removed from the Suburb pages when they are no longer active. Is this group still active? If so simply confirm here by writing something below. If not it will be removed from suburb pages in 14 days. |
*****THIS BIT HERE IS NEW!*****
On the suburb talk page, put the following code in:
{{GSM2010suburb
|suburb=
|sigposter=~~~~
|sigcontact=~~~
|sigcleared=
|g1=
|c1=
|d1=
|g2=
|c2=
|d2=
}}
In the |suburb= line, put the name of the suburb. |sigposter= and |sigcontact= will fill themselves in. |sigcleared= will be where you put your name after all groups have been contacted and declared active/inactive. The meat of the template is the |g#=, |c#=, |d#= code. You will need one set of these for each group in the suburb. |g#= is the name of the group. |c#= should be timestamped with the date the group was contacted, and |d#= dated with the due date for the group to respond.
Once they've been declared active/inactive, replace the |d#= code with either "Confirmed" or "Removed" (it will get formatted on its own, so don't bold the words or do anything else to them).
Note: This template will put a header on the page automatically, so you do not need to add your own header in.
*****END NEW STUFF!*****
Confirm
After two weeks, go back and check. If no response has been given, type {{Group Inactive?}}, producing this:
|
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 |
As a final courtesy add something to the news section of the suburb similar to this.
After weeks with no sightings group have been removed from the suburb.
If a reply has been given, change the ? in the {{Group Active?}} to a ! (leaving {{Group Active!}} This produces this:
 |
Group Confirmed. |
| This group was confirmed active. Thank you for your reply. |
Make sure to update the suburb talk page as well since some groups may have responded there instead of the group talk page, or may not even have a group page. When a group has confirmed activity (or not), replace the |d#= variable with Confirmed or Removed (as appropriate).
Guidelines & Reminders
- Groups only need to confirm their activity once, regardless of how many suburbs they are actually in.
- HOWEVER, all groups listed in a suburb should be included in the template that goes on the suburb's talk page--even if they are listed in multiple suburbs.
CHECKLIST!
This time around we decided to chop Malton into chewable chunks that a single person could deal with all at once, and decided on districts. So that is how the following are sorted. Otherwise, same as before: add your sig and timestamp when all groups in a suburb have been contacted, then another sig and timestamp (plus a strike) when confirmed.
