Decommission the 1 week rule for warnings
Resolved: Seeing no opposition, {{Warning}} has been modified to remove the one-week requirement. An explanation has been placed in the description space explaining the change. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 00:32, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

Based on LIR's comment in an earlier discussion and the WP guideline Don't restore removed comments; I think we should get rid of the rule. A 'Badge of Shame' is a bad thing and if they remove it, it's safe to assume they've seen it. As for keeping track of when a block is due after a warning, admins simply need to enter 'warning' in the edit summary and it'll be easy to find in the history.

Site Notice
No longer relevant, as 5,000 article milestone has come and passed. Similar discussion regarding the site notice should occur in a new section. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 20:08, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

I've temporarily pulled the Site Notice, since we've had a drop in the number of articles, and best practices suggests keeping messages only on a temporary basis. If you disagree, or notice the article count start to climb again (to within 10, probably), please feel free to revert my edit and reintroduce the countdown. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 16:35, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Digimon spam
Resolved: Universal blacklisted item may stop ongoing problems; if problems persist, may consider a range block of responsible IP addresses. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 22:41, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Original article from development portal talk:
I found this http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Pleasant_family&diff=155672&oldid=155669 and reverted it of course. I did not warn or ban since the user has made no other contributions, I'll keep an eye on it of course. I can remember removing the same spam from another article some days ago from another IP. I asked some of the VSTF staff if we could watch for these keywords somehow, without any luck. Just a quick reminder: Keep a lookout for spam like this. Duskey(talk) 14:25, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
List of Digimon spammers
Facts
Continued discussionThoughts, questions, ideas? As mentioned above I've asked some people from VSTF and they suggested the range block. Duskey(talk) 08:29, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
FixedI finally convinced VSTF to add some stuff to the global block filter and we shouldn't be bothered by Digimon spam any more. If you spot some, don't hesitate to report it here though. Duskey(talk) 19:40, August 27, 2010 (UTC) |

I've created The Sims Wiki:Assume good faith. It borrows heavily from those policies by the same name on Wikipedia, but it has been changed substantially to fit TSW more readily. Now we don't have to type out [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Assume good faith|assume good faith]] whenever we want to cite that guideline. Please feel free to contribute to it and make improvements. The layout of it roughly follows Wikipedia's (though most section headers have been removed), but if you can think of a more logical way to lay it out, please do so. I'd prefer, as a show of good faith, that we leave it unprotected, so that any user will be able to make a meaningful improvement to it. Which is, after all, what that policy is all about. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 22:10, August 23, 2010 (UTC) |
