Template:Troll warning

{{Greater Manchester-stub}}

Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created a new stub type. As it clearly states at WP:STUB, at the top of most stub categories, on the template page for new Wikiprojects and in many other places on Misplaced Pages, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and whether better use could be made of a WikiProject-specific talk page template.

In the case of your new stub type, it duplicates the long-established {{Manchester-geo-stub}} and is not named according to stub naming guidelines, both due to the space in the name, the use of the unnecessary qualifier "Greater", and the lack of the indicator that it is for geography articles. Your new stub type is currently listed for deletion at WP:SFD. Please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 02:31, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Helpme request

{{helpme}} I created User:SunStar Net/Talkheader, but am finding it hard to use the ParserFunctions so that it can be either:

{{User:SunStar Net/Talkheader|1st parameter}}

{{User:SunStar Net/Talkheader|1st parameter|2nd parameter}}

{{User:SunStar Net/Talkheader|small=yes|Include text here.}} for smaller type

{{User:SunStar Net/Talkheader|header=Header text|Include text here.}} for an aditional header

If anyone can fix it for me, or have any code for it (put it in the <pre></pre> tags), I'd appreciate the help! Thanks, --sunstar net 14:23, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I tried by copying and slightly modifying the template you copied from (probably). I'll test here:

Looks good to me. and to you? --MECU≈talk 15:29, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that! --sunstar net 15:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

It's Okay.

Ah, it's okay, you didn't have to apologize. I suppose I should say sorry for misinterpreting your message. Sorry. :) Acalamari 02:40, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

You.

--Elaragirl 23:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm doing just fine, sweetie. Watching all these contentious RfA's, I'm wondering if I could break WP:200 in oppose votes if I ran. (giggle) I'm just being me. You keep at your hard work, and realize that some of us see you for the good person you are. --Elaragirl 23:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Picture help

SunStar - thanks for the welcome. I've created a page for Jane Heap, including an image which I think will be fine even for Misplaced Pages. Trouble is, I can't figure out how to make the image to sit snugly on the right, while the rest of the text fits around it. What obvious thing am I missing? --Quywompka 21:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Special:Userrights and other things

Since that is something most people rarely ask, so I can't find it documented anywhere... your best bet is to ask the devs directly at #mediawiki, or ask them via mediawiki-l. Titoxd 00:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Helpme request

{{helpme}}

Is it wrong to put two stub templates on an article, as I did with Cox Green (an article I created}?? --sunstar net 10:40, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello sunstar net. From WP:Stub#Categorizing stubs:

If an article overlaps a number of potential categories, more than one stub template may be used, but it is strongly recommended that only those relating to the subject's main notability be used.

Hope this helps! —Xhantar 10:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Image size {{uw-move4}}

Hi there, I saw you changed the image size on the above warning. If you look here you'll see it's now out of step with all the other warnings. I'm sure you did it for a good reason, but if there's a good reason that the image size needs to be increased ,lets talk about doing it for all of them, instead of just one. I'd suggest if you don't mind reverting it for now and bringing it up on WT:UTM? Whaddya think? Cheers 14:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Nuvola apps important.svg.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Nuvola apps important.svg.png. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Misplaced Pages:Image use policy
• Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 15:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Barak Obama

Thank you. I belive it meets both, as the sources mainstream newspapers and mainstream newpaper web pages that reach hundreds of thousands, if not millions; the NYTimes and Associated Press. As for what meets the criteria for a bio, these are valid controversies and they are not obscure. Juda S. Engelmayer 23:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Helpme request

{helpme}}

How do you "delete to make way for a move"?? In the deletion log I've seen the following edit summary: (Deleted to make way for move)

I'd also like to know how to fix cut-and-paste moves, if anyone can find any for me to fix, I'd appreciate it! Thanks, --sunstar net 12:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Both of these are abilities only available to administrators. To 'delete to make way for a move', an administrator just uses the 'move' function as normal, and the target page is deleted; if you want to request a move like that, place {{db-move|name of page to move from}} on the page you want to move to. To fix a cut-and-paste move, the admin deletes the new article, moves the old article on top of it, and then undeletes the new article (so both histories are in the same place). To request a history merge (to fix a cut-and-paste move), place {{db-histmerge|old article}} on the new article. I hope that helps! --ais523 12:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
