User talk:Koavf/Archive 1: Difference between revisions

{{TalkPageArchive}}{{TOCright}}

Hello, please check out [[WikiIndex:NewLogoDecision]] and [[WikiIndex:Spring 2011 Upgrade Path]]. Also, I am moving some of your move edits back to the main namespace - a couple of them are [[:Category:WikiIdea|WikiIdeas]] and I think fit with what [[WikiIndex]] was envisioned. Not a steadfast rule, please discuss if you would like.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

"Are we going to make a page about every wiki user or just someone who has some notability...?" [[:Category:Wiki People]] says "this is a list of people who consider themselves to be part of the wiki community and their associations to various Wiki sites". I would say that [[PeterKa]] probably considers himself part of the wiki community. Shall we change that page to say "this is a list of ''notable'' people . . ."?

==[[:Category:Wiki Status]]==

I was wondering how to find the entries which do not have any category. I saw that there are explicit markers like [Category:UnknownStatus] and [Category:YourWikiStatus] which essentially means the same. But this markers need to be set first. What if no marker is set at all, if in the template You find '|status          = ' or not even this line? How to find such entries? --[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 21:50, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

==[[:Category:Wiki License]]==

You once edited it as [[:Category:Locked|Locked]]. Do You know any details about that? I changed it to [[:Category:Dormant|Dormant]] / [[:Category:ReadOnly|ReadOnly]], because the [[:Category:Wiki Edit Mode|Edit mode]] was [[:Category:OpenEdit|OpenEdit]] and Locked is an EditMode basically but no status of any catagory. [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 00:55, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Sure it is. But it is called Status and not Reason4Status. Just Like [[:Category:NeedsLove|NeedsLove]] which is not a status but an opinion, it does not belong in Status. Specifics can always be edited into the description. Otherwise we would blow up the Category:Status with numerous special stati. I could invent meaningful new stati by the minute. There is always a reason and it always makes a difference. Shall I? [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]])

'''Consensus''' To edit one article in the [[BRD cycle|BRD]] style is one thing, to ignore discussion of community another: [[:Category talk:Wiki Status]]. If You think there should be 'Locked' as Status, why don't You bring it in the discussion? I had proposed "Halted" long ago. So, let us continue there. [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 10:53, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes, You did not create that page. But You assigned it <nowiki>{{WikiStatus}}</nowiki> and made it member of [[:Category:Wiki Status]] which has the same effect as creating a new WikiStatus. You added another Status to WikiStatus. [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 19:28, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

2010 this category was created without asking anybody or even trying to introduce it to the community or giving it a definition and only for the purpose to mark a very limited set of 8 wikis of the [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|WikiMedia foundation]]. This was already a mistake. It was ignoring the requirements of well functioning database and ignoring the community of this wiki. You did not correct this mistake, You engraved it. The definition which You created aligned the use on [[MeatballWiki]] and ignored the original use for which it was created. So You created more confusion and contradiction. And now You are doing Your very best to defend that rather than trying to understand that it should be coordinated with the rest of us. You also made no attempt at all to introduce Your change to the community. On  17 October 2013 You assigned the not defined status Locked and did not care that it was no member of WikiStatus. In August we had this discussion [[:Category talk:Wiki Status]] which You took part in shortly about another aspect. You know pretty well that it was not finalised. You also did not contribute in a fashion to finalize it, did not make a suggestion that could have helped to solve the puzzle. You saw my Invitation2Invitations which is pointing to this unfinished discussion and actively went on to ignore this discussion for doing YOUR own thing in spite of it. If I would do such things and mess up WikiStatus matters just according to my discretion I think I would get blocked again. Your mission statement "I like the idea of fostering community between wikis and the larger movement for free and open culture..." is not reflected in Your edits here. Or should that be translated as: "I like the idea but will not actively contribute to it." ?

::Sure. We did not allow L. to create whatever he wanted on [[Wikiversity]], because his recent-favorite topics can be very hot, and we don't need the disruption. We pointed to how he could actually accomplish some of what he wanted -- participating in the creation of ethical guidelines -- but he decided on one issue, the suicide material, to go to [[Wikibooks]], which had already decided as a community to allow such material (and so has Wikipedia.) On the other main problem issue, we'll call it CP (to be clear, none of his sites have been "Child Pornography," but some contain material that can be construed as advocacy for personal sexual freedom, and that, in the WMF wikis, can raise issues of "Child Protection." He has apparently abandoned that issue on WMF wikis.

==Template:W==

Is there a reason why it's necessary to delete [[Template:W]], which has a number of [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:W|transclusions]]? If so, a deletion summary would have made it unnecessary to ask the reason. Thanks, [[User:Leucosticte|Leucosticte]] ([[User talk:Leucosticte|talk]]) 20:20, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Summary: Please adjust and add as appropriate, see [[Category:EnglishSpeakers]] and [[Category:Language]].</nowiki>

==Weigh in on [[WikiIndex:ServerName#Poll]]?==

I wanted to be sure to draw your attention to a potential [[WikiIndex:ServerName|decision to change the domain of this wiki]].  I hope you'll weigh in with your opinion.  Thanks! [[User:BrandonCsSanders|BrandonCsSanders]] ([[User talk:BrandonCsSanders|talk]]) 20:09, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
