Yep, it took me ages to work it out. The advantage is that if in the future we get a page we want to link to (for example, if [[BRGSWiki:Administrators]] is done properly), it'll be linked to in the past as well, so people will easily be able to see it. Plus I like the novelty factor :P {{User:Jonathan_Parton/sig}} 17:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Moderator Page

I thought that perhaps the moderators should have somewhere to discuss certain guidelines, particularly with respect to blocks/bans etc. In my opinion this is better than all of us having different views on what to do!

Any thoughts? Add them below if you want. I've made it so that only sysops can edit this page - it may also be an idea to add it to your watchlist so you can easily see what's going on.

Old or resolved discussions go in the Archive.

The School IP

Due to further vandalism today, such as the blanking-out of Heskey's page, the school IP address has been blocked indefinitely.

Do not unblock the school address at this time, as the majority of all vandalism happens on this IP, we assume by people who (mistakenly) believe that they can hide behind it. Furthermore, it also means that fewer edits (in theory) will happen during the day, hopefully then cutting down on unchecked vandalism due to all the mods being at school/uni/work/in bed..

Thanks

Contact information

I think posting someone's contact information beyond their email address (so stuff like their home address, telephone/mobile number etc.) should be a bannable offence. Jonny talkmod 16:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

How to make your signature even more awesome...and I have too much spare time...

  1. Create User:Your_name/sig.
  2. Put your signature on it (i.e. copy from the nickname box).
  3. Change your preferences to use raw signatures.
  4. Set your nickname to {{Nosubst|User:Your_name/sig}}.

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.

I didn't spend half an hour trying to work out how to do this >_<. Jonny (talk)
