Mention the Template?[edit]

We have {{troll}}. Should it be mentioned in the box above the spot where we report users? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 15:13, 12 August 2016 (EDT)

I'd oppose. The notice already says to simply post a link to the user's contributions. The "troll" template does that anyway, plus more functions which aren't required for how this page functions. All we need is a link to the contributions.

The troll template makes things easier and standardizes things. Could it be reconsidered for that reason? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 15:42, 12 August 2016 (EDT)

I've discussed it with another admin, and we agree that there is no need to standardize how we link to troublesome accounts. However, we understand that users have also been frequently using the template, even if the page doesn't state it. So a brief line has been added which explains how to use the template, as an optional alternative to a contributions link.

No-Signature[edit]

Does this page observe the no-signature policy as well? Sprite of Black Ninjakoopa, from Paper Mario. Sprite of Red Ninjakoopa, from Paper Mario. The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) 04:02, 10 November 2016 (EST)

Editing reports[edit]

I noticed that several users edited reports here, despite one of them telling me off about that exact thing. Was it concluded off-site that editing reports is okay now? I'm confused.

Pretty much my response to the post on your talk page you linked to. Not being able to rollback properly is not a major issue, we can very easily just edit from the history. But it's unnecessary to edit or change a report, we look through the contributions and determine what needs to be done.
So yeah, don't edit reports. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:30, August 28, 2019 (EDT)

Fix the header[edit]

The word we're is on the header. We don't use that word. We need to use we are. Lord Falafel (talk) 21:10, September 28, 2019 (EDT)

We don't need to be that professional when talking casually or when providing instructions. That point is really just for the main articles. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 21:13, September 28, 2019 (EDT)

Mario Superstar Baseball Chemistry Vandalism[edit]

The chemistry article for Mario Superstar Baseball has been repeatedly vandalized by a certain user who constantly removes important bad chemistry data that the community uses on a regular basis, while adding inaccurate information that's quantifiably untrue. Me and another user tried to tell him that a major edit like what he was doing needed evidence to back it up, but he/she just did it again anyway. Is there anything I can do to protect the article from vandalism? Petey (talk) 18:18, 21 May, 2020 (UTC)

Just notify the user via their talk page, and then issue warnings if they continue. If they ignore a last warning, then they can be blocked. Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 14:52, May 21, 2020 (EDT)
I don't know if you can call this vandalism, they may be getting their information from elsewhere. Definitely let them know on their talk page, but as they are already on a last warning, further warnings are unnecessary. They have been blocked before (not for this specifically) and don't seem to view their talk page at all, but an attempt should be made anyway. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:57, May 21, 2020 (EDT)
