Template talk:RfC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This talk page is for discussing ways to improve the Example user RfC template. You do not need to copy it as you would the template. When you copy the template to a new subpage, it will automatically have an (empty) associated talk page. Use that page to discuss ways to expand and improve the RfC subpage for that particular user.
Mav suggested the possibility of conducting polls if comments do not resolve the dispute after a suitable period. His proposal is below. --Michael Snow 17:24, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion
It used to be guideline that RFCs were to be deleted if not certified within 48 hours, but that wasn't actually enforced by anyone. Since policy and guideline are dictated by consensus, and consensus doesn't wish this enforced, it isn't guideline any more. Hence, the rewording of the template. Somebody is probably going to cite WP:POINT in the next couple of days, but the fact is that wording should reflect actual practice, if actual practice doesn't live up to theoretical wording.

- Get agreement on the Talk page of WP:RFC before making any change like this. This has been discussed and there is no consensus for a change, and in fact, the clear majority support deletion of uncertified RFCs. -- Netoholic @ 01:08, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
- Please provide evidence for your claims. To my best knowledge, that simply isn't the case. For instance, Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Danny was never deleted by anyone, and a request on WP:AN yielded no response. Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Kappa was considered by many to be improper, yet several people have refused to delete it on grounds that it's improper to delete any RFC.

[edit] Extra-special instructions
I added an invisible comment to the Discussion section of the template (in HTML comments) so that it's only visible when someone hits "edit" and gets into the editbox. It says simply "Do not comment below. Please read the instructions above." I've seen many people add comments below that line despite the explicit instructions not to do so (I've done it myself!). Hopefully all that whitespace and a simple directive in the middle will do the trick. — Saxifrage ✎ 09:06, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
