Editing others' comments: extra clauses

I have added extra clauses, allowing for:

  • Disambiguating or fixing links
  • Hiding or resizing images
  • De-linking categories
  • Redacting code samples

in others' comments. I trust that these will not be controversial. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 12:04, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Posting of personal information on discussions

This is a stupid question, but are users normally allowed to post information about what they saw on a user's blog on an AfD discussion page without the user's consent and without any relevance to the discussion, like what someone did to me here? I always thought this was not allowed provided the user does not consent. () 17:43, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Page protection

Because this article and talk page are used, almost on a daily basis, for irrelevant comments and questions by newbie (usually IP) editors, I've made a request that they be permanently semi-protected. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 09:51, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I think we need to figure out how people keep ending up here when they have general questions or comments. Then maybe something could be changed so that won't happen as often. PSWG1920 (talk) 00:34, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
I have a guess as to what the source of most of this is, and have thus requested a change. Thanks for documenting the recent occurrences. PSWG1920 (talk) 01:03, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Apparently that has been suggested before but the feeling is that it's better to have the link. I guess we could work on improving Template:Metatalk. PSWG1920 (talk) 03:46, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

a new template

Could somone create a new template that would be similar to that talkheader template, but to be used in all articles? Because apparently the talkheader template shouldn't be automatically used in every talk page (even though in my personal opinion, it makes much much more sense that way, becuase it's kind of like a how to guide for new users) PeaceOfSheet (talk) 18:20, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Abuse of archiving

I have noticed recently, particularly on the AN/I page that people are archiving comments that are less than one hour old, purely because they are related to a previous discussion that had already been archived. This effectively make it impossible for anyone new to the subject to discuss the matter. Can we have some clarification added to this article that helps to make it clear how late-comers can be able to discuss matters that were previously closed/archived? I think it's also worth bearing in mind that the topic might not be a simple "re-opening", but might be a related off-shoot topic, etc. --Rebroad (talk) 13:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
