Radio/Group Massacre
It's been over four months and people are still adding themselves to this. It's annoying and it isn't the page that's templated onto the Radio page. I've stuck a notice up on the top and it would be good if it was protected to reinforce the point (people can still use the talk page for questions, and I'll request unprotection when we do it again.)

A few of my archives and userpage templates
Just requesting permission to protect all my talk page archives, some templates that are on my userpage, and my sig.
Thanks. Linkthewindow Talk 09:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- Clarification, the "templates that are on my userpage" are in my subspace. More specifically, the ones that control the tabs, and the ones that add content to the page on the sidebars.
- So that's every template on my userpage except Template:Projectwelcome2 and Template:Science. Linkthewindow Talk 09:41, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Common.css
This is simply to poke a bit of discussion about removing the "Main Page" title on the Main Page. It's done over at Rationalwiki by a CSS hack, and the same can be done here. I raised it at the Main Page discussion, but it was pretty much ignored.
Anyway, basically, this request involves adding this:
body.page-Main_Page #siteSub, body.page-Main_Page #contentSub, body.page-Main_Page h1.firstHeading { display: none !important; }
To our MediaWiki:Common.css. Thoughts? Linkthewindow Talk 06:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
- Oh and thanks to Midianian for finding the CSS Linkthewindow Talk 06:45, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
I'll approve of this edit to the Common page, but I will leave it to you (or other sysop "in the know") to do the actual editing, so that if any minor tweaks, or special placement on the page is needed, you can fix it as you go (without back and forth discussion). As long as it works ;) -- boxy talk • teh rulz 10:10 17 March 2009 (BST)
- Done. Linkthewindow Talk 09:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Template:CPBox
I forgot to add an edit link and make a direct link on the "go to community portal" part. Copy the code from here.-- AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 20:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
- Done. Linkthewindow Talk 20:47, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Multiple templates
The follow should be fully protected, as there is no use to edit them except to vandalize: Template:NBox, Template:CPBox, Template:NewsItemGreen and Template:NewsItemWhite. Although Kevan hasn't implemented the changes yet from the semi-protection policy, these should be semi-protected as there isn't a use for a newbie to edit these two: Template:Community Portal and Template:Wiki News.
The uncreated pages will have to be protected after the request below is processed, thanks. -- AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 00:16, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Summary
This will change the main page to look like this. Among the obvious new look, the change also adds a CP section and numerous code fixes (such as getting rid of the ugly white curved edges). The new design was discussed on the talk page, and after many changes from user input to get as much support as possible, it's ready. The last concern in the latest discussion was on the colours being too bright, which was fixed by making them all darker. Some of the pages will look broken, but this is because I've removed my user sub pages and added the to-be templates. All you need to do is copy+paste.
Please do these changes in quick succession, otherwise it'll confuse a lot of people.
Changes required
- User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox13 to Main Page - This will be the new main page. All the templates are ready on the page, but it's best to do this part last.
- User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox4 to Template:NBox - The skin for the Wiki News section.
- User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox5 to Template:Wiki News - Nothing to add, except the yellow template is obsolete.
- User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Green to Template:NewsItemGreen - Page is uncreated. Replaces the yellow version. Note, the "timestamp" and "news" variables have been changed to 1 and 2.
- User:A Helpful Little Gnome/White to Template:NewsItemWhite - Note, the "timestamp" and "news" variables have been changed to 1 and 2.
- User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox9 to Template:Wiki News/Instructions - Nothing to add.
- User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox7 to Template:CPBox - Page is uncreated. The skin for the new CP section.
- User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox6 to Template:Community Portal - Page is uncreated. The CP section, to be shown on Main Page. It's a little empty at the moment, but the content of the section will be fully determined after the Community Portal remake.
- User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox8 to Template:Navigation - Nothing to add.
- User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sandbox12 to Template:Lastupdate - Removed category on it, don't know the point of it. Also removed Latest News Update text.
If I've missed anything, or there's any questions, let me know. Thanks.-- AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 00:16, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, it might be better if you put the substed version in first, then change the templates (to make sure it works) then replace with the templated main page. -- AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 16:39, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- Someone forgot a bulk of the news bar colours of Community Portal. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 11:29, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
- Done. The discussion at the main page talk seemed roughly in favor of this. If there are any problems, I've made a thread on the main page's talk. Linkthewindow Talk 11:33, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Protection Request
Hello i wouldlike to request that my signature page be protected so it will not be touched/ruined. User:Fanglord2/sig thanks in advance. Chairman Fanglord, 18:28, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
- Counter request. The signature breaks policy and should not be protected until it conforms. The image is too high and the overall height (23px from the looks of the code) could interfere with line spacing. From a minor pedantry standpoint, you could also cut the coding by a third and still get the same effect. -- RoosterDragon 19:11, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
- Is this sorted, and can be protected? Linkthewindow Talk 10:52, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Still long-winded, but it doesn't break policy. Fine by me. -- RoosterDragon 17:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

User:Hagnat/sig
In order to save the server some effort. Please replace the page with:

- the second template should be 'sig/B', not 'sig/A', right ? --People's Commissar Hagnat [talk] [wcdz] 18:01, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
