+#I'm afraid this no longer works since html is disabled and prevents editing of pages where it already exists (and there's not a lot I can do about it). [[User:Clizard|Clizard]] 15:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
-#Put your signature on it (i.e. copy from the nickname box).
-#Change your preferences to use raw signatures.
-#Set your nickname to <code><nowiki>{{Nosubst|User:Your_name/sig}}</nowiki></code>.
 This makes it a dynamic template - whenever you change your signature on [[User:Your_name/sig]], it's  updated all over the wiki. It might be an idea to protect these, as anyone who changes the page will then have the changes shown all over the wiki; which will make it easy to do a DoS attack.

 Wow, I seem to be posting a lot on here lately...Anyway, I was thinking, should we allow forms to have a section on their form pages to say what they think about themselves. In effect, an area exempt from the general feeling on keeping it NPOV, but still within the guidelines of insults and grammar etc. It won't harm anything, and as long as we check them, it should be ok. {{User:Jonathan_Parton/sig}} 23:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

 I don't think the BRGS Wiki has to be absolutely NPOV anyway, just not offensive - positive pages are always appreciated. On the other end of the scale, with negative pages, the offensiveness, insults and bad grammar generally go hand in hand. In terms of traffic December looks set to be an overall increase in traffic over November, and is at least on the same level of traffic. Blocking some of the school range to edits has helped reduce minor edits, even though not all edits from school were vandalism. Overall edit levels have perhaps decreased. I think other new sections should be focussed on rather than writing about students, which is generally difficult to moderate (which is one reason why we have some year reps - to try and check facts).

 Might need to change to username editing only if the problem gets worse. Block them for a month/few weeks - many of the ip addresses will change so blocking them probably won't be completely effective. I periodically go through and unban addresses that have been there for a few months anyway. [[User:Clizard|Clizard]] 00:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
