Template talk:Userspace

Should this be protected? I don't want a vandal removing all of the content and replacing it with "(insert username here) is a(n) (insert swear word here)".

 * I totally agree. I shall therefore contact an Admin about this A.S.A.P. 15:10, 25 September 2011 (EDT)

This issue has been resolved months ago. Try not to reply old comments without checking to see if there is still an issue to be resolved.-- 16:00, 29 September 2011 (EDT)

Unfair
I think this is unfair. What's the problem of edit our userspace a time more than the wiki? Some time, we will edit the Wiki again. They don't need to worry. 18:51, 4 November 2011 (EDT)
 * But there are people like this, or users who mostly make excessiveness edits to their userpage, and clog recent changes, and who's mainspace are few and often poor. This is not Facebook or whatever, this is the Super Mario Wiki.
 * Who cares about recent changes. It will not change the wiki at all. Soon, we'll be prohibited of even HAVE an userpage, or making a little typo unintentionally. 10:07, 6 November 2011 (EST)

Unfair!!!
I totally agree with Ultra_Fuzzy!!! It's ok when users edit Userspaces twice as Mainspaces, but, it's totally unfair that you receive a warning because you made ONE (Or a few) userspace edit(s) more than Mainspace edits !!! And, don't tell me the wiki would be "poor" if it happens, because a few users editing Userspaces won't ruin the wiki!!! I see that, there are users that seems to edit EVERY single page in the wiki, so, it wouldn't be a problem; Oh, and it doesn't means we're gonna NEVER edit the wiki again! 10:00, 6 November 2011 (EST)
 * The point is, editing your userspace means you are focusing on making your userspace look good, and neglecting the mainspace, which is what we are all here for. Regardless of what you say, editing your userspace does affect the mainspace. In small ways at first, like using up time that could be used doing better things, but sooner or later, more users will start and it will get severe. The focus of the wiki will shift from Mario to userpages. That's why we have these rules.

:)
I understand that, but please take a look at Nintendo64fan's Edit Count! He complains about userspace edits, but, he made 446 User talk edits against 288 normal edits!!! He couldn't even post that comment above!!! 10:40, 6 November 2011 (EST)


 * I agree. 10:42, 6 November 2011 (EST)
 * I fail to see how Nintendo64fan's editcount has anything to do with the validity of this template. Also could you please not create a new header every time you post a comment.

How much is a "large ratio of userspace to mainspace edits"?
What's the ideal ratio for a userspace warning? Something like 2:1/3:1, more, or less? 03:48, 16 March 2013 (EDT)


 * A ratio shouldn't be how you determine whether to issue a userspace or not. Say if a user made excessive userspace for a long period of time, and then began to focus on mainspace, the ratio will still be there but the user would not deserve a userspace. However, if we reversed that situation, and the user made many mainspace edits over a long period of time, and then they began to make a whole lot of userspace edits, then the ratio wouldn't really be there, but they would deserve a userspace to get them back on track. So basically, don't look at the ratio on their edit counts. Look on the user's recent contributions instead.

 * I see, that makes more sense. 04:13, 16 March 2013 (EDT)
