Template deletion
Hi, I appreciate being informed if you nom any templates I have been working on, such as {{Notability}}. Rgds, Rich Farmbrough, 00:28, 24 June 2011 (UTC).
- Hi Rich. A) the TFD is closed. B) it's a maintenance template... and a widely used one at that. It's not like we're talking about a navbox here or something. This is an odd thing to write a note to me about, especially considering the timing in relation to the request. Looks pretty pointy, from my perspective.
— V = IR (Talk • Contribs) 01:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)- How so? I just discovered a whole bunch of maint templates have been TfD'd without notifying me. Since I spent three years of my life working on maintenance templates, I would expect people who know that to drop me a note. Even if they aren't aware, certainly it is standard practice to let major contributors to a page know. Notability in particular is not "just a maintenance template", but a critical component of Wikipedia. (And when you say "pointy" that implies WP:POINT - you feel I am disrupting Wikipedia?) Rich Farmbrough, 01:54, 24 June 2011 (UTC).
- And really - there is a point. Please tell me if you are planing on deleting part of, or doing anything drastic to the WP maintenance system, if you can. Often I may be able to make the task simpler, faster or better. Rich Farmbrough, 01:57, 24 June 2011 (UTC).
- Here's a couple of things to think about. Regarding the notability template specifically, I did try to start a discussion about it n the template's talk page prior to nominating it. I only nominated it at TFD after being completely ignored. That being the case, it seems rather disingenuous for you to now be complaining that I didn't notify you personally. You'd already ignored me, so why should I be concerned about you, and more importantly how was I supposed to know that you even cared?
- With respect to maintenance templates in general... they're not yours, you know. Maintenance templates are so widely used that the statement about having spent "three years of [your] life working on maintenance templates" appears rather ridiculous. If you have a problem with people editing the same things that you edit, then you should probably consider your motivations for contributing here.
- anyway, I'm not that interested with arguing about a TFD, especially one that's been closed already, and even more especially here on my talk page. If these things are so important to you, I'd suggest watchlisting them. If you just want to bitch and moan about me personally, well, Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts is thataway.
