Admin on mission...

Unofficial anagram of ANI

proper response?

in the talk page for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 I realized that a user have completely removed a whole section of the gameplay section and stated "Apart from needing a c/e, most of this is not sufficiently verified (simply citing official websites is not evidence); a lot more reliable sources are needed, even if it means waiting until nearer release.)" despite there being hundreds of hours worth of content on multiple platforms and despite several of the citations containing quotes from the devs. I was wondering if this was the proper response?

"Wikipedia:CESSPIT" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Wikipedia:CESSPIT and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 October 14#Wikipedia:CESSPIT until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Talk pages for archives

See Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1111 -- the {{section sizes}} template at the top of this page is helpful for navigating the current page, but we do not have this benefit while trying to find something in archives. I have messed around a little in userspace when trying to find specific threads, but it occurs to me that other people may find themselves in the same situation; I propose, therefore, that I do a run and put the section sizes template on the talk pages for archives. A preliminary review shows that there are precisely ten extant talk pages, almost all of which contain just a couple comments (which would not be removed -- the section sizes header would just sit above them, as it does here). Here they are:

An example of what I'm talking about can be found at Wikipedia talk:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1111. jp×g 08:00, 29 October 2022 (UTC) jp×g 08:00, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Could you clarify please - are you wanting to add {{section sizes}} to every ANI archive talk page, or just these ten? As a note, I've un-transcluded those pages, since I don't think it is necessary. Also, to ask the potentially dumb question - what does this template do that the ToC on the primary archive page not do (other than give the sizes of the sections)? Primefac (talk) 08:09, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

I would support this (for either these 10 pages or for any page -- As long as it were by default collapsed). It's essentially an index of each page, included on each page. It has the sizes per-sub-section and per-section and it helps verify the overall Byte-size of the page, which is also useful for archive maintenance and finding where to manually archive something to maintain, for instance, a 100k limit. I really like this idea. — Shibbolethink ^{(♔ ♕)} 12:43, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

If it's just the ten pages, I don't think anyone needs consensus to do that (be bold and all that). If it's all 1k pages a bot should probably deal with that. I still don't really see how it's all that much more beneficial than the ToC (especially since the "page size" thing is kind of controlled by bots these days) but don't take that to mean I'm strictly opposed. Primefac (talk) 12:54, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Does anyone know why I got a notification saying that jp had mentioned me on this page? I don't login that often these days, so maybe I am missing something here, but it seemed a bit strange. Carcharoth (talk) 22:04, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

I think it was an accidental transclusion of the above linked archives page. Happy to have you here! :) — Shibbolethink ^{(♔ ♕)} 22:40, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

• @Primefac:: Well, depending on people's reaction, my ultimate proposal was going to be that I take an hour in AWB to create the full thousand pages (if everyone clearly thought this was dumb, I would just drop the issue). I wasn't sure if something like this really requires consensus, since none of the pages apart from those ten even exist to begin with, but I figure it is worth trying to get at least something before just barreling through through with the whole thing. I'll make a couple for the most recent ones and then I guess I will wait around a bit to see if anyone here says "don't do them all, that is stupid". jp×g 09:09, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

In the meantime, I've made them for the most recent twelve archives (1100, 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104, 1105, 1106, 1107, 1108, 1109, 1110, 1111, 1112). jp×g 14:23, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

As I said earlier (and I promise it will be the last time I do) I don't see the point, so while I fall into the "don't do them all, that's a waste of your time" camp, I'm not going to stand in your way if you find it useful (and don't mind spending an hour of your life on it); it doesn't really affect me at all.

I need some assistance

Hi I admit I made a by the trigger blocks about anti vandalism I just wanted to do the right thing but should have done more research & from here on I promise to not do that again unless I get the right to do so SirSharp (talk) 10:21, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
