[edit] Templates
Every time we get round to closing something like an RfA I'm left scratching my head about what templates are used. Can someone who has a memory longer than that of a goldfish please add closing instructions to the page? --Brian McNeil / talk 19:44, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Seriously...
What on earth has happened to RfP? I suggested that we create the subpages thing in IRC - however I also asked that we leave it for now! RfP looks like a shambles now - it's cluttered, unorganised, and messy! PLEASE can we get this reverted - it needs to be developed before being released! --Skenmy talk 09:08, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- I agree. This rearrangement needs to be sent back to the drawing board. It's too cluttered, making a nomination has become more technically tricky, and I think open discussions should be actually on the page itself, not in subpages: It's fine to archive each discussion on its own subpage —preserving the chronology, of course, which gives the best of both worlds— but carrying out the discussion should happen on the page that everyone already has on their watchlist. --Pi zero (talk) 17:55, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Meh, it was supposed to be a complete re-organization of the archives in subpages, and a re-formulation of the way to do requests for adminship/bureaucrat, etc. It is based on Wikipedia, completely, so how can you think it is hard to watchlist requests for adminship AND the separate RfA page for XYZ. Just move your pointer over the star at the left of the arrow that is next to the search box, then click it. Not hard at all. Diego Grez return fire 17:58, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Not hard, but harder than doing nothing. I don't really like the way they do this on Wikipedia, as it means only project page wonks participate in discussions. --InfantGorilla (talk) 06:25, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Comment The history of all of the archived discussions has now been completely lost --Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 23:00, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- What history? The most is still at Wikinews:Administrators and Wikinews:Requests for permissions if that is what you mean. Diego Grez return fire 23:01, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- Appears previous archiving borked the revision history anyway so nevermind. --Alexandr Dmitri (talk) 23:13, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
