 | This is not the page to report problems to administrators, or discuss administrative issues.
This page is for discussion of the Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard page itself.

POV Acupuncturist
User:Mccready - endless, disruptive, repetitive edit warring
Missed the close of Connolley/Giano flap, due to edit conflict.
Indef protection?
Okay, so it's not protected, and there is Gwp vandalism. So it gets semi protected. No more vandalism. The protection expires. What do you know, more Gwp vandalism. So then it is semiprotected again- until tomorrow. Anyone for an indefinite semi? IP's barely edit this page except to vandalize it. Erik the Red 2 ~~~~ 02:55, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
- Those of us who have not yet reached our four days editing requirement can't edit it. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 05:06, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
- No. It's a variation on the old RBI cycle; semiprotect for a few hours until whoever gets bored. This noticeboard is too busy to indefinitely semi-protect, and independent expiries makes it easy to add brief semiprotection spells.--chaser - t 06:01, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
- Reverts are cheap, good editors are hard to come by. If someone has a problem that should be reported here, they should be permitted to report it. Permanently locking out a large group of editors from reporting problems might scare many of those away. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 05:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think WP:ANI should be indefinitely semi-protected. Vandalism can be reverted. IPs should be allowed to participate in ANI discussions. Preventing editors from reporting problems is not healthy for Misplaced Pages. AdjustShift (talk) 07:40, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
WP:INCIDENT
I have just created a redirect for Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents called WP:INCIDENT. What does everyone think?. Mythdon (talk) 09:45, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- Not needed and not linked from anywhere; but redirects are cheap, I suppose. ➨ ❝ЯEDVERS❞ will never be anybody's hero now 11:05, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- We also need redirects at WP:DRAMA and WP:RUBBERNECK.--Scott MacDonald (talk) 11:56, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, that was sarcasm, but the first already exists.--Scott MacDonald (talk) 11:57, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- That's hardly surprising :-) Wonders why I watch this page... -- how do you turn this on 11:58, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think that redirect is needed. There are other redirects for Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents (WP:ANI, WP:ANB/I). AdjustShift (talk) 07:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
New section button?
Could we put something like this at the top of the page?
(Unfortunately, I can't get rid of the input box - if anyone else can, that would be great!)
<inputbox> type=comment editintro=Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Guidelines preload=Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Preload default=Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard# buttonlabel=Create a new section bgcolor=clear width=0 </inputbox>
Text of Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Preload:
*{{Userlinks|name of user concerned}} <!-- (repeat or remove as appropriate) -->
*{{IPVandal|IP address concerned}} <!-- (repeat or remove as appropriate) -->
*{{La|name of article concerned}} <!-- (repeat or remove as appropriate) -->
A description of the problem, issue or incident.
I'll leave the guidelines up to you...
What do you think? Dendodge|Talk 23:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- That renders:
Dendodge|Talk 00:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Got it!
<inputbox> type=comment editintro=Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Guidelines preload=Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Preload default=Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard# buttonlabel=Create a new section bgcolor=clear width=0 hidden=yes </inputbox>

Dendodge|Talk 01:32, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Don't forget to change the "Using this page" heading if you chuck this at the top. --Gwib (talk) 20:42, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks for reminding me. This should help to standardise AN reports, if used consistently. Maybe we could get rid of the new section tab too...
- This needs consensus before I will implement it, so I could do with some discussion =P. Dendodge|Talk 08:19, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- Will it break the bot's ability to archive? OhanaUnited 16:53, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- No - it simply adds a button to the top of the page - like a larger version of the 'new section' tab, but allowing us to standardise AN reports. The bot won't even notice. Dendodge|Talk 22:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oh - and it will get rid of {{s in section headers. They break edit summaries. Dendodge|Talk 14:57, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Anything like this, to skirt the bane of {{foo|bar}} tags in section headers is ok by me. Gwen Gale (talk) 15:00, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- I don't understand. How would it have that effect? What's to say some idiot won't pick the most applicable template and paste it into the edit summary box (which, in §ion=new mode, becomes the section header)? You'd be better off running a bot to de-link the section headers (I mean why not? We're de-linking everything else these days...) — CharlotteWebb 15:10, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Will it break the bot's ability to archive? OhanaUnited 16:53, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
{{foo|bar}} tags? I keep finding out how little I know, sigh. Doug Weller (talk) 15:13, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Not to be confused with FUBAR tags such as {{DTTR}}. — CharlotteWebb 16:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Right now, people use things like
=={{User1|Dendodge}}==. This way, they would see a place to put a username and put it there instead. It wouldn't completely abolish templates in section headers, but it would help. Dendodge|Talk 20:21, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Right now, people use things like
Lime green? Yuck. The color really does not look good. Maybe it's just my screen. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 15:40, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oh - that happens on IE. Is this better?
- Still lime green. It has no color on firefox. 63.80.111.2 (talk) 23:49, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
That's made by:
<inputbox> type=comment editintro=Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Guidelines preload=Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Preload default=Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard# buttonlabel=Create a new section bgcolor=white width=0 hidden=yes </inputbox>
Dendodge|Talk 15:42, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- If nobody objects, I'll go ahead and add it. DendodgeTalk 16:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Cold fusion
HELP! We have Cold Fusion proponents dramatically asserting ownership over cold fusion. I need all the help I can get. ScienceApologist (talk) 15:59, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
