Revision as of 03:17, 31 March 2014

The Wiki's Vote Page is made to hold all kinds of votes.


When a vote is held, you will be allowed to sign your username, using four tildes ~~~~


Each vote will be published in this way:

==<Vote name> (0)==
:Suggested by <your name> and confirmed by <administrator name>
===For (0)===
===Against (0)===
===Comments===

Nominee Notice: After being nominated, you can enter reasons on why you should be nominated next to the "nomination sentence". A vote closes when 14 days is up. The vote difference is calculated by the number of votes "for" subtracted by the number "against". The user option with the most vote differences wins.

Voter Notice: You must vote in either "For" or "Against". If you vote in for, you have to sign underneath the "For" heading. To do this you have to type this in:
#~~~~

After you have signed it, you must change the number in the brackets up by 1. (e.g if it was at 3, it means 3 people have already signed it. Change it to 4 when you sign it.) This is also the same with the number by their name. If you vote for, you must also increase the number beside his or her name by 1.

Please remember to use "#" instead of the usual "*", because it numbers the votes making it easier to count them.

You can also remove your vote. If in any case you change your mind, do not remove your vote completely, just strike it out and move it to the back of the list.

Please discuss with an administrator before creating a new vote!

Limiting templates usage for User Pages content (-2)

Suggested and confirmed by Penguin-Pal

According to this suggestion, users will only be allowed to store personal-use content for their/someone else's user page in a sub page of the user that this content is meant to, and not in another namespace like in a template.
Templates are especially made for creating content that will be used in a variety of places, and in recent years, many of the new templates were created exclusively for someone's user page. Many of these templates consist of just several words, or only contain another template inside them. Due to that, searching for actual templates that are made for articles (such as infoboxes, or for a large number of users (such as userboxes) much harder, and flood the recent templates changes with content that really cannot be related to anything but someone's user page.
So, for instance, for a user named Foo, instead of storing the user page content in Template:Foo's User Page, to use User:Foo/Userpage instead.

Comments

  • The intro above is really a nutshell of the problem- otherwise it would be too long for reading. It's not as if i don't think templates could be used for storing user page, but i think it's gone way too far and should be stopped on time. I'm willing to do my best to change this situation. Penguin-Pal (talk) 16:59, March 18, 2014 (UTC)
  • No. Just no. --Pot O' Gold clothing icon ID 324 LUCKY SUGAR Shamrock Pin 03:49, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
  • There's really no point. ɐɾuıN uǝǝɹפ (talk) 00:36, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
  • I can't decide! And I have a template on my user page but I try to rarely edit that :P BRICKLEBERRY! 02:17, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
  • I vote for especially since this is often used as a loophole for the 40% user namespace edit ratio limit. 12:07, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
  • What's this vote for? Nothing, right? Limiting the templates usage has no particular use. All hail the Almighty Lord Helix Fossil! 12:34, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
  • This change would give nothing but trouble to non-admins. This would only be helping the admins, which are a small portion of the overall users of the wikia. ~Perapin :) (talk) 08:54, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
  • I don't like this idea... --Kirlia the Pokémon 20:10, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
    • That's an informative comment indeed. 20:18, March 30, 2014 (UTC)

Add "Names in Other Languages" section to other articles. (+5)

Suggested by Phineas99cp and confirmed by Penguin-Pal

As you could see, there have been several articles with the section we are talking about right now. So an effective way to expand more the wiki, making the article's quality bigger would be adding the "Names in Other Languages" section to every article. Item articles, background articles, furniture articles, etc. It's also handy whenever an user would like to learn deeply more into languages.

  • I don't see a reason why not, it sounds great! Penguin-Pal (talk) 08:15, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
  • I'm all for this. Hopefully we would get lots of help in translating from users who say they "don't usually know what to edit". Kallie Jo (talk) 14:43, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
  • Who the hell would disagree? :D We could learn a different language too :P BRICKLEBERRY! 02:17, March 23, 2014 (UTC)
  • We could learn different languages and be a multi-language wiki. Well, in a way, anyway :P --Pot O' Gold clothing icon ID 324 LUCKY SUGAR Shamrock Pin 11:57, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
  • We could learn what the item is called in a different language. In that way, we can interact better with those who are foreign speakers. All hail the Almighty Lord Helix Fossil! 12:36, March 25, 2014 (UTC)
  • A "Names in Other Languages" table should only be included in an article if at least one of the translations of the name differs in at least one language. Putting a "Names in Other Languages" table which has the same translation in English is simply a waste of space. Also, you have to make sure to use accurate translation, not machine translation. ~Perapin :) (talk) 09:00, March 30, 2014 (UTC)

Removal of Caps and Roleplay rules on Wikia Chat (+13)

Suggested by User:WikiaFrog and confirmed by User:Kallie Jo

I believe that there is no point in these rules, and I think that others do too, as they always try to break both rules, but are always caught by moderators.

  • As long as it's not Violent RP... But what if Vicyorus Come back and voted "Against"? --Kirlia the Pokémon 01:28, March 31, 2014 (UTC)

  • For the caps, i disagree. But for the Roleplay i agree the rule should be gone. TanCowboyHatTanCowboyHat 02:12, March 31, 2014 (UTC)
