Got em... I hope.--SeventythreeTalk 15:47, 22 April 2008 (BST)

Every single pages of Axe Hack's

I want every one of my page protected. The links are in the supplied Nav bars. And I won't be coming back for a while. A very long while. You may as well tell everyone if they want to contact me, do it via e-mail, but I'll only be reading the emails from users I trust. Everything else will be regarded as spam. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 04:41, 19 April 2008 (BST)

UDWiki:Vandalism

Very minor thing: "On it's own, this may not have any malicious intent - a user may have seen members..." Change "it's" to "its". --PdeqTalk* 01:25, 18 April 2008 (BST)

West_Becktown

The page, in the revive points section, contains:

Pullin Square [15,32] is the designated revive point for this suburb. Please spraypaint as a Revive Point for public benefit. Tagging around the area is helpful as well, so that those in need know where to go. If you're unsure what to spray, this will do: Revive Point @ Pullin Square [15,32]. Also, the Creedy Defence Force have this site listed in their revive tool. http://cdf.aypok.co.uk/

This sort of language is blatantly POV and the tagging suggestions belong on a newbie welcome guide, not a suburb page. I request something like:

Survivors have designated Pullin Square [15,32] as a revive point. Several survivor groups have this site listed in their revive tools. [1]

I have to also say that after the protections lockdown, these pages have received zero attention and many of them are still in a shoddy state.

I've unprotected these pages but, have not at this time added these news additions, feel free to do them yourselves if no one have gotten around to it by whenever you're on.--Karekmaps?! 16:43, 12 April 2008 (BST)

Chudleyton, et al.

The Umbrella Corporation would like to request that our symbol be allowed to be edited into the survivor group area as we are present in the suburb, thank you.--Jackson 00:25, 12 April 2008 (BST)

The following text on the Chudleyton page needs to be edited and moved.

Revive Requests
Chudleyton is part of the Dunell Military Zone. The DHPD provide revive services to this suburb; requests can be made here.

This is POV, and its placement is incorrect and serves as surreptitous group propaganda. I belive the appropriate place for this information is below the Resource Buildings section. This is a typical placement for these RP headers in other suburbs. Also, the text should be rewritten to be more neutral. I suggest the following:

"The DHPD offers revive services in this suburb. A request can be made (here). Revive requests can also be made through the DEM's (Revive Request Tool)." ..... And add appropriate links.

Also, please check all the protected burbs in the "DMZ" and make sure they adhere to this formula, or something equivalently neutral. Thanks. --WanYao 22:02, 9 April 2008 (BST)


News for April:

Valiant DHPD Officers have reclaimed west Chudleyton's Haraway NT and its free runs into Peddlesden Village offering the nearest shelter for survivors fleeing the recent and spreading carnage at Caiger Mall.--Zeug 11:10, 10 April 2008 (BST)

After fierce fighting in and around Haraway NT a coordinated force of the DHPD and USAI along with members of the MFD has been wiped out by Extinction and a swarm of The Dead as west Chudleyton again falls into ruin. Survivors fleeing the Caiger collapse are advised that as of this moment there is no safe haven in far NW Malton. --Zeug 06:51, 12 April 2008 (BST)

I've unprotected these pages but, have not at this time added these news additions, feel free to do them yourselves if no one have gotten around to it by whenever you're on.--Karekmaps?! 16:43, 12 April 2008 (BST)

I'll be gone for a while and these pages might experience vandalism edits so they could use protections.--Luke Skywalker 19:17, 10 April 2008 (BST)

Done, done, done and done. --People's Commissar Hagnat [cloned] [mod] 21:08, 10 April 2008 (BST)

Lots and lots of unprotected closed suggestions

All these are some of the closed suggestions which were never protected. And this is only a handful from Reviewed. There's still a lot to go. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 00:16, 10 April 2008 (BST)

Here's a few dozen more...also from Reviewed... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 00:27, 10 April 2008 (BST)

It's protection as necessary, not protection ad nauseum. Please do not do this ever again we have scheduled protections and deletions to avoid exactly this type of spamming.--Karekmaps?! 00:44, 10 April 2008 (BST)
Many of these are over a year old. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 00:46, 10 April 2008 (BST)
And? That kinda makes my point, many of these being unprotected has not been a problem.--Karekmaps?! 01:37, 10 April 2008 (BST)
And than watch some long time vandal read this and go crazy...We should stop talking about this now... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 01:38, 10 April 2008 (BST)
What be this? I thought you said they didn't need to be protected. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 01:41, 10 April 2008 (BST)
I said Do Not Report Scheduled Actions to the Administration Pages. They're protected, leave it at that and don't do this again in the future.--Karekmaps?! 01:56, 10 April 2008 (BST)

Various suburbs

Please protect all suburb pages in the contended DMZ. IMNSHO neither the DHPD not the Dead are acting in the best interests of the wiki at the moment, as they are engaged in this absurd dick-waving contest / edit war... This needs to stop. Thanks.

Pages affected: Dunell Hills, Peddlesden Village, Chudleyton, Owsleybank, West Becktown, Molebank. --WanYao 18:29, 9 April 2008 (BST)

I've protected Dunell Hills, but is it necessary to protect the others? --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 18:36, 9 April 2008 (BST)
I believe so... check the histories and you'll find that this edit war is taking place on most if not all of the pages in question. --WanYao 18:52, 9 April 2008 (BST)
Protected all. If someone could please point out to me which difference I should be reverting to, that'd be helpful. I can't tell anymore, it's such a mess.--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 19:00, 9 April 2008 (BST)
Meh... later... maybe... --WanYao 19:02, 9 April 2008 (BST) Actually, I trust that you'll be able to figure that out... Basically, no DHPH special sections masquerading as Rev. Req. headers... But a mention in the Rev Req. secion -- appropriately placed on the page ... is fine... I tried to fix DumbHills but the spazzy children kept edit conflicting me... It's absurd... --WanYao 19:04, 9 April 2008 (BST)
We need to get this NPOV policy fixed up. I'll try and write up a consensus on what we have so far on the article page. Let me know what you think. (Give me about an hour or so to get it done) -- Cheese 19:05, 9 April 2008 (BST)
All right. I think we're following Wan's format with the DMZ thing on Dunell Hills, so group links out of the NPOV statement on the suburb at the top. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 19:06, 9 April 2008 (BST)
Do what you think is best... I provided one possible "template" in Dumbell Hills... Others are workable... But what I was trying to do was create a Rev. Req. section... placed down somewhere, and NOT the #2 header, which was where DHPD people were placing it... Which read something to the effect, "Blah blah are recognised revive points in the Suburb. (Short such and such is run by blah blah, maybe...). Revive Requests can be be made through (DHPD forums and link) or by using the (DEM Rev. Req. tool, here)." Many suburbs have sections like this, I was following their lead. And also avoiding giving the DHPD the sole spotlight, because they are NOT the only survivors in the DMZ. --WanYao 19:16, 9 April 2008 (BST)

Template:Wn?

Please. Before we get more accidental edits on it. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:27, 8 April 2008 (BST)

Wn? Won't add the template again here... no I'm not lazy... --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 01:56, 9 April 2008 (BST)
What? You didn't know there was a subst of the "Welcomenewbie?" template? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 20:32, 9 April 2008 (BST)
No... you know how I do things... I hardly ever say "done". Such things are boring. I felt like saying Wn? fer some reason. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 21:29, 9 April 2008 (BST)
If you're still trying to get me to pull your finger, you can forget it. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 00:37, 11 April 2008 (BST)

More pages of Axe Hack's

Sorry. I saw a few more of my pages which could use protections.

And I think that's it. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:01, 8 April 2008 (BST)

Protected. I won't add the template here either, user page archive. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:04, 8 April 2008 (BST)
Did I add this request in the wrong section? Whoops... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:06, 8 April 2008 (BST)
Twice, and someone else did, and at least 5 people before this in the last 30 or so days... :( --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:07, 8 April 2008 (BST)
Um...I'll give you a cookie for your troubles. My bad... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 23:10, 8 April 2008 (BST)

The Dead

I doubt we'll be changing it ourselves any time soon and it'll save you the hassle of having to go administrative on the petty vandals that seem to plague it. If the other Dead members don't want to lock it that's fine. I was just looking to save us all from certain folks' childish need to annoy us and cause more work for the mods. --Laughing Man 22:40, 8 April 2008 (BST)

Protected. I'm not going to add Template:Protect because it'd take up as much space as the content, unless you want otherwise. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 22:56, 8 April 2008 (BST)
Just locking it works well enough, thanks. --Laughing Man 23:44, 8 April 2008 (BST)

User:Axe Hack/Quiz/Winners1

It's my page and I want it protected. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 22:15, 8 April 2008 (BST)

Done. :P -- Cheese 22:18, 8 April 2008 (BST)

The Newbie's Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse I developed this initially to help my friends, because there were several things they couldn't find in any of the guides. I put a lot of work into the guide and I want to protect for the future. Thank you, I hope I did this right. Rohndogg1 01:24, 3 April 2008 (BST)

Done. --ZsL 15:46, 3 April 2008 (BST)

UDWiki:Administration/Vandal Data

For reasons beyond my understanding I am compelled to volunteer to alphabetize it. I know, I don't understand my actions either...--Airborne88Zzz1.JPGT|Z.Quiz|PSS 16:49, 1 April 2008 (BST)

I'll unprotect this, it's not like we have a horde of vandals just waiting to strike and I don't have the time to go through alphabetizing properly. Unless someone disagrees?--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 22:25, 1 April 2008 (BST)
I do, do not unprotect A/VD, just go through and alphabetize it, how hard can it be most of the work is already done.--Karekmaps?! 22:54, 1 April 2008 (BST)
But I don't want to... if you want to, then go ahead, otherwise I see no problem letting someone fix the page if they really want to.--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 22:56, 1 April 2008 (BST)
I can get to it when I'm done with the proxy stuffs.--Karekmaps?! 23:07, 1 April 2008 (BST)
Mmkay.--  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 23:12, 1 April 2008 (BST)
To save Karek some time considering that list of proxies is several thousand long, I'll get on it just now. -- Cheese 23:39, 1 April 2008 (BST)
Mmm, K. Interesting. No worries, I only really know a few parts of the alphabet anyway. The Voices In My Head want me to tell you that "If you need us you know where to find us." C-ya--Airborne88Zzz1.JPGT|Z.Quiz|PSS 06:48, 2 April 2008 (BST)
