:::::"''Generally also, I think the management of userspace edits beyond what is deemed actively harmful or sufficiently off-topic is a dangerous direction to go with the rules. Because you're not really encouraging more productivity by doing this, you're just throwing a monkey wrench into my flow.''" I'm sorry the rule wasn't added around your plans that would be put in motion years later. | :::::"''Generally also, I think the management of userspace edits beyond what is deemed actively harmful or sufficiently off-topic is a dangerous direction to go with the rules.

:::::"''I also think you should avoid the "I don't see a reason" and "unnecessary" arguments, because they seem to suggest your opinion of how to manage my userspace should have greater weight than my own. I do see a reason. Saying something is unnecessary isn't a strong argument for not doing something. I do not think continuing to bring those arguments will further the discussion.<br>Basically I guess my argument boils down to: If I find the subpages useful (or think it may have potential to be useful), and it's not harmful to the wiki, what's the problem with allowing me to manage them in the way I want? I think this will come down to the definition of "harmful", though.''" I'm seeing this whole thing as "I don't want to follow the rules, just let me do my own thing." Doesn't matter if you see a reason to having separate templates that do nothing for the wiki, harmful or not. The reason is ''follow the rules we have placed'', and the problem is you are not doing that. If you think the rules need to be changed, that is something that needs to be discussed in a proposal, but you shouldn't just go through with ignoring the rules just because they go against your personal preferences. Keep in mind you are not on the Donkey Kong Wiki anymore, how we do things here may not be how things are handled there. If you continue to ignore the rules without a real valid reason other than "This is the way I want it to be", I have half a mind to give you a {{tem|warning}}. I'm trying to be on good terms with you, and I'm trying to help with this merge, but choosing to ignore our rules will make this ''very'' difficult. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:32, 28 April 2018 (EDT) | :::::"''I also think you should avoid the "I don't see a reason" and "unnecessary" arguments, because they seem to suggest your opinion of how to manage my userspace should have greater weight than my own.

::::::"''Nowhere in the rules does it says a user must nominate their own pages for deletion if they're in violation of the rules.''" You misunderstood. The problem is they shouldn't have been made to begin with. And despite saying I can delete them, you still seem to be fighting to keep them. But I'm going to delete them now because they ''are'' in violation of the rules, and I should've done that sooner. Probably slacking on my part, but I wanted to see where this discussion went. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:56, 28 April 2018 (EDT) | |||
