Renaming of guideline
[edit] Talk pages shouldn't be used to discuss behavioral issues, just content
Initially discussed at the proposed change for WP:NPA (I think); also posted (hintingly) at Wikipedia talk:Talk page guidelines John Broughton | Talk 14:26, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Spam on user pages
Adding robots.txt in userspace to block search engines. November 2006 discussion here. Link provided by User talk:Opabinia regalis#Blocking search engines from user space. Discussion at VP (proposals), early January: [1].
[edit] Flagging wikilinks that point to disambiguation pages
ShakingBot is designed to do similar for bad external links. I've discussed the dab concept here. John Broughton | Talk 20:45, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Disruptive editing (is there a "see also" for Wikipedia:Resolving disputes?
[edit] Holding namespace for proposed new articles
a new namespace, call it ArticleCandidate, for lack of a better name. Instead of 4000 articles a day added to Wikipedia mainspace and 2000 a day deleted, new articles would be reviewed in this new (holding) namespace, with the goal of (a) making them acceptable before promotion to mainspace or (b) killing them quickly because no one can find reliable sources and/or indications of notablility, with the ones inbetween (c) being userfied. (There would be a limit - say, 30 days - for an article to sit in this namespace.) (posted to Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals). -- John Broughton (☎☎) 01:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
