Creation

Look at the talk pages for Template:Test2b and Template:Test-n for reasons of creation. drini | ∂drini 20:08, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the text

Can we modify the text to say "adding or removing". Template:Test2a used to cover that, but it would be pointless to have two different -n templates as well. Thanks. ∞Who ?¿? 12:57, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from removing nonsense? I don't think it would be a very appropriate warning. :) —[admin] Pathoschild 19:18, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

I don't get the question, test2a (and test2a-n) are for removing content, test2 and test2-n are for adding. The difference with -n and without -n is that the "-n" templates are "named" (you specify wich entry they refer to) and without "-n" are for warning without specifying. -- (☺drini♫|☎) 01:24, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. -.- Apparently flat humour aside, it's a reasonable suggestion; template tags in general should be minimalised as much as possible. Whereas more general warnings may be used for unforseen reasons in the future, specific tags are inflexible. This has the potential to cause heavy creep in the long term. This is especially true since, I imagine, templates cannot be easily deleted without removing occurances of their use. —[admin] Pathoschild 03:59, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, then discuss at Template:Test2a for its removal, and when it becomes removed, Template:Test2a-n will be gone too. But for us who do heavy RC patrolling, the difference is useful (lets us keep track of who's doing what) -- (☺drini♫|☎) 05:24, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My appologies, I tried to use {{Test2a-n}} and got a redlink, must have been a typo. So I was requesting that {{test2-n}} cover the ground for both, but there is no need since the other exists. Thanks. ∞Who ?¿? 07:06, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Let's add a "please"

As a nod to civility, let's add a "please" to this text, as in, "If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox." SchuminWeb (Talk) 09:24, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And to end it on a positive note, a "Thank you". --AAA! 03:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
