vandalizing [[Boyd Wainwright]] page. [[User:Wiryawan310|Wiryawan310]] ([[User talk:Wiryawan310|talk]]) 14:52, October 31, 2014 (UTC)
:User was warned by K6ka, page has been temporarily protected, and discussion has been started on [[Talk:Boyd Wainwright]]. If tempers seem to be cooling down, we may want to consider reducing the length of, or eliminating altogether, the page protection (currently set at three days). -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 15:10, October 31, 2014 (UTC)
 
==Removing comment from my fanon page==
{{closed|closed|Non-bad faith comments, even if made by blocked users, will not be deleted.}}
This is rather annoying but understandable - could I please have [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Fanon_talk:Mary-Sue_Pleasant_(C.Syde)/@comment-Mucho_gusta-20141027234111?oldid=638122 this] comment removed from my [[Fanon:Mary-Sue Pleasant (C.Syde)|fanon page]], as the commenting user was apparently ineligible for contributing, let alone commenting. -- '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 04:24, November 4, 2014 (UTC)
:No. The comment, even if made by a blocked user, doesn't do any harm. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 04:32, November 4, 2014 (UTC)

::::{{ec}}<small>x3</small>I'm hesitant to remove what is a valid question from the comments when the user was, at the time of writing, fully able to make the comment. I don't like the idea of completely wiping out everything a blocked user has done to make it seem as though they never existed. {{WHsig|04:36, November 4, 2014 (UTC)}}
:::::Exactly this. If the edit/comment doesn't do any harm to the wiki, then there is no harm in keeping it, even if the user that made the edit/comment is blocked. This is also an extension of AGF, in a way; each edit should be judged on its own merits, not judged by the person that made it. A vandal can make a good edit, just as a well-intentioned user can make a bad edit. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 04:41, November 4, 2014 (UTC)
::::::I just managed to avoid two edit conflicts here. I guess - or rather know - that the comment isn't harmful. I have seen admins completely wiping out every contribution a blocked user has done to make it seem as though they never existed, before. But seeing the valid question does have it's good points, and given Wogan's opinion, it doesn't really matter if these comments aren't deleted. -- '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 04:44, November 4, 2014 (UTC)
:::::::Those are special situations, if the edits are particularly harmful. Each situation is different, so making comparisons between incidents isn't a good idea usually.

==Main page transition==

Please note that I am substituting the templates currently used on the Main Page. This is because I will need to modify the main page templates in order to implement [[Forum:Main page redesign again|the new main page design]], and I do not want to disrupt the main page while this is in progress. This substitution should not affect the featured content templates, since most of them are transcluded into other templates that are ultimately displayed. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 06:24, November 9, 2014 (UTC)
