Template:Uw-afterfinal (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

If a user has received their final warning (e.g. {{uw-v4}}), they need to be reported to WP:AIV and either blocked or not blocked; further warning templates are unlikely to help the matter. Part of the creator's rationale is to provide some sort of "record" of further vandalism, but since anyone can legitimately remove warnings from their talk page at any time the only reliable record of vandalism is Special:Contributions. — Anomie 19:42, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did, however, userfy it to User:AubreyEllenShomo/Templates/Warnings/Uw-afterfinal for my own personal use. ⇔ ÆS dt @ 20:28, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom - adding an extra warning after someone has already received a 'final' warning just seems contradictory. Such behaviour should be responded to with blocks, not further warning templates. Terraxos (talk) 00:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As nom put it if they continue to vandalize past the final warning we block them, not give them more attention via additional templates. NanohaA'sYuriTalk, My master 19:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I understand the urge to do something if a vandal keeps going while you wait for AIV, but continuing to warn defeats the purpose of a "final warning" and is more likely to encourage the vandal.--Kubigula (talk) 03:08, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I understand the rationale for this, it is very common to see someone vandalize and go to warn them only to find they already got a final warning - but it's stale, from 6 hours to a couple of weeks old, they have the idea starting over is not warranted but AIV will often deny due to no other recent vandalism unless the current matter is exceptionally blatant. No objection to deletion but support the editor keeping a userfied copy and addressing this matter with active members of WP:UW for further thoughts.--Doug.(talk contribs) 18:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it may be better for discussion to take place at WT:AIV regarding just when is "recent" enough and what the AIV people want done if the person waits just long enough after the last final warning to not be "recent" anymore. Until someone figures that out, how can we figure out what sort of warnings are needed? Anomie 22:11, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm glad Doug made that point, as the template now makes a lot more sense to me. I do agree that we don't have a good solution for what to do when the final warning is stale, and there may be a need for some kind of continuing vandalism template. This would be a good point for discussion at AIV or UTM.--Kubigula (talk) 02:33, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Longterm is pretty good, but only if you are dealing with a true long term pattern of abuse (though I am a bit concerned that the template helps to educate vandals about how much they can get away with before a block). I've also seen people use {{uw-v4im}} when the previous warning was stale. Personally, I'm not a big fan of v4im. I'm thinking we could use something like, "Be advised that there has been recent vandalism originating from this IP address. Any further disruption will result in this address being blocked from editing. If this warning does not pertain to your editing, please consider creating an account...".--Kubigula (talk) 03:27, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Capital cities of the Arab League (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Odd template; the CAPITALS of the League are not the point of the League; the nations themselves are. I'm guessing the point of this template is to include Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. So, points for an original, subtle piece of POV-pushing. But, POV or no POV, the template serves no purpose. — A2Kafir (and...?) 15:40, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - as the nominator says, the Arab League is a union of nations/states, not capitals, so this is a slightly misleading template. I can't see much need to group together cities in this way (although I have just noticed that {{Capital cities of the European Union}} exists, which I have no problem with, so maybe it's not so bad). Terraxos (talk) 00:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - unless we're (collectively) going to make the assertion that the EU is either a) most "important" or b) more like a federation than a international organization, then they should both be deleted or both be kept. {{Canada capitals}} stays because Canada is a federation, but the Arab League isn't, so it goes. Is EU closer to being like the Arab League or the Canadian federation? I would say it's like that Arab League, but deciding that is the heart of the issue. --Kevlar (talkcontribs) 19:46, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The EU is unique, really, as a supernational organization with real power to enforce its decrees on member states, which are still sovereign states (although there is much talk of losing said sovereignty to a European "superstate"). The Arab League is one among many international organizations that nations are members of. Some nations are members of five or even more of them; one could imagine their capitals clogged with templates. (And I'm not arguing that other templates might not be superfluous, either.) A2Kafir (and...?) 04:01, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - What is wrong with this template? It's not doing anything wrong - it just exists. Just leave it and stop fussing. If you want to fix it, go ahead - there's a simple solution - turn it into Arab League countries and put the capitals next to it. Simple. Otherwise let's leave people's work along and stop deleting things for no reason. JRG (talk) 13:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The template serves no purpose. 70.89.163.245 (talk) 18:49, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete; this template should be deleted since the capital cities themselves serve no purpose to the Arab League. Also, {{Arab League}} already exists which lists the countries themselves. Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 22:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It wouldn't kill you to keep it, some people don't know such a thing as an Arab League even exists. So, since it's not doin any harm. Why should we remove it? Nas93 (talk) 06:28, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge this template, {{Capital cities of the European Union}}, and any other like this into a new template, {{World capitals}}. Much less appearance of POV that way, and probably much more useful for readers than either of them.--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 05:04, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Request denied (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused legacy template, not in current Test/UTM systems, mistakes policy. MBisanz talk 00:49, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Remark. I wouldn't say this template is unused: I have used the template in the past (I'm afraid I can't find any diff's at the moment), in response to unblock requests, and find it particularly useful in certain situations, where the standard "unblock-declined|reason=..." response is not appropriate, or the original reason accompanying the unblock request must be, for some reason, omitted. If this template is deleted, I will, no doubt, simply manually insert it on-the-spot, rather than subst:-ing it from Template:Request denied. Anthøny 13:24, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We really shouldn't be blocking IPs indef, 5, 10 years maybe, but as the devs indicated at [1] it generally should not be done. MBisanz talk 00:26, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I agree IPs should not be indefinitely blocked, but they frequently are and were before this template was created. IPs blocked indefinitely for any reason should be tracked as such rather than have their user pages deleted. —{admin} Pathoschild 03:34:28, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep As an IP should never be blocked indef (as even "static" IP's occasionally change hands. However we need a way to tracked, in the rare instance they are in order to unblock them if needed in the future. (Hope that wasn't too confusing).

Template:Spam-warn-userpage (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Not actually a Test template, redundant to more general {{Spam-warn}} and {{Uw-spam1}}, unused in current UTM/Test systems. MBisanz talk 00:17, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Amazingly I agree with Calton, this is not a duplicate as it does appear to cover issues not addressed in the current versions, viz user pages. It would be nice if the UTM version could be written to cover this too or that it would at least be incorporated into the UTM system and WP:TWINKLE, etc. I have no problem with the tag but will watch carefully how Calton uses the tag.--Doug.(talk contribs) 21:18, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly formed duplicate of {{test3}}, does not fit into standard tiered nature of Test and UTM systems. Anything useful should be merged. MBisanz talk 00:13, 21 June 2008 (UTC)}}[reply]

We have over 650 user warning templates (down from 800 some when I started), so I'm going through, seeing which are out of date, duplicates, dumb, etc, to try to make sure all are in-use accurate templates. MBisanz talk 01:03, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
{{Welcomevandal}} and {{Uw-test3}} and {{Uw-vandalism3}} seem to cover its purpose just as well. MBisanz talk 01:22, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The intention of this template is to skip the early uw-1's and the like with this one if a user's vandalism is especially obvious and disruptive. t3 and uw-3 are part of a sequence that doesn't go with bv all that much. Plus, bv would go with t4 and uw-4, not 3. Those three you offer I don't find to be ample substitutes, basically. Wizardman 01:26, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. MBisanz talk 01:29, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, uw-bv works as a duplicate. Withdraw keep, move to no vote. Wizardman 18:03, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
