User talk:Misza13/vote

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Would voting "WTF?" on every AfD be a violation of WP:POINT? – Gurch 06:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Maybe, but then again: 1. AfD is not a vote; 2. I have intentionally put WTF? in the "comments" section, not "vote". ;-) Миша13 11:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
And what's with your signature? I thought you were Polish – Gurch 11:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I am, but "Misza" is russian for "Michael", so I might as well poke some fun at it and write it in cyrilic. Миша13 13:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Small problem

This is a great idea for a template. The only problem is this:


Keep blah blah blah .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC) Delete yeah yeah yeah .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC) Comment whatever .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC) Keep uh-huh .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)


Now obviously this doesn't look good on deletion discussions. It's probably a good idea to include a <br>, so the final result looks like this: <br>[[Image:Symbol keep vote.svg|15px]] '''{{{2|Keep}}}'''. Making everything look like this:


Keep blah blah blah .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Delete yeah yeah yeah .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Comment whatever .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Keep uh-huh .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to change it, but if this is going to create a problem then revert it. .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)


Most discussions use explicit block syntax, for example : or * (see RfA or most AfDs for examples). It those cases, it would look like this:


  • Keep blah blah blah .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete yeah yeah yeah .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment whatever .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep uh-huh .:Alex:. 17:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

... which looks even worse, hence I have reverted it - let's leave the newlines to those using it - this template is designed to work fully inline (I might want to insert it halfway through my comment, not at the beginning). Nice to know however that someone is interested with this. Миша13 11:40, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] deprecated

Their use is now apparently strongly deprecated at AfD, though it continues occassionally at other discussions sometimes--though even there it seems to be getting rarer. DGG (talk) 15:46, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
