Changes

Since there have been 2.5 bans ([[User:BDobbs]], [[User:AmesG]], and my own temporary ban and the ensuing discussion) about templates (all three given out by TK), I suggest a new rule so that people don't just get banned for breaking a non-existent rule TK simply invented and enforces on the fly:

Since there have been 2.5 bans ([[User:BDobbs]], [[User:AmesG]], and my own temporary ban and the ensuing discussion) about templates (all three given out by TK), I suggest a new rule so that people don't just get banned for breaking a non-existent rule TK simply invented and enforces on the fly:

{{All article templates have to be authorized by a [[Special:Listusers/bureaucrat|bureaucrat]] or by a consensus of a group of [[Special:Listusers/sysop|sysops]]. Users who create and/or use such templates will be banned.}}

{{QuoteBox|All article templates have to be authorized by a [[Special:Listusers/bureaucrat|bureaucrat]] or by a consensus of a group of [[Special:Listusers/sysop|sysops]]. Users who create and/or use such templates will be banned.}}

Either implement the rule or stop TK from making up rules. There was no word in an official place that making and using templates is now subject to bureaucrat-approval (it's NOT enough that even two sysops make a template together), and people get banned for it. Hardly sounds fair to me. --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 05:54, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
