== "Random" question (nyuk nyuk) ==

Hi Random, I think you're a template/MediaWiki personage - how hard would it be to create a template that when invoked would insert/override a banner message when the web page was presented?

Specifically, along the lines of template:fool which would override the top message with "The date is April 1st <yyyy>" if the date was still Apr. 1, yyyy. I'm thinking about a graceful way out of pranking problems. ] (]) 03:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Template:Indefblockedbecause

Why does this put user pages in cat Temp user pages? Rich Farmbrough, 03:22 10 February 2008 (GMT).

I am concerned with the number of user-pages in this category, which means that they will be deleted. In particular, because of another warning template User talk:Thegone was deleted taking useful warnings with it. Rich Farmbrough, 13:40 10 February 2008 (GMT).

User:Dmccreary

Based on q quick glance at their contributions, I don't see any obvious reason to believe that User:Dmccreary is a sockpuppet of Jon Awbrey. It looks like Dmccreary made some minor edits to the Semiotic Triangle article which was later deleted as the original work was by an Awbrey sock. If you want to know more about the reasoning for the deletion I suggest you contact the admin who deleted it. Best, Gwernol 12:35, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

unblock

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Unwarranted

Request handled by: - auburnpilot talk 23:25, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Any other day you would be consider vandal and desysopped. Don't mess with system pages that affect tons of users. -- drini 23:24, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Drini, see WP:AN/I for discussion of blocks similar to this one. Do you really believe a block was necessary? Do you really have reason to believe Random832 would have continued if asked to stop? The block serves no preventative nature. - auburnpilot talk 23:25, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Move of "Betacommand and SVGs" thread

Hi. Can you tell me why you moved the "Betacommand and SVGs" thread from WP:AN/I to WP:AN/B? Sure, the latter page is named after Betacommand, but I don't think it was the initial idea to move everything that has to do with him there for all eternity. After all, that subpage was created because issues surrounding Betacommand took up half of WP:AN/I at one point. That is not the case anymore, tho, and there is no danger of the "Betacommand and SVGs" thread becoming so big that it needs its own sub-page. The WP:AN/B page has, in my opinion, served its purpose, and there's no real need anymore to move threads there (unless they get way too big again). --Conti| 16:10, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I've started a thread about this to get some wider input. --Conti| 17:19, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
