[edit] Wikipedia:Trusted Users

It's gone -- Tawker 01:37, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


An unused page whose only purpose is to create a new level of users: "Trusted users". However, as this will only serve to create more bureaucracy and red tape, I am nominating it for deletion. The creator claims it to be for apporving users for automated tools like AWB and VandalProof. He has also stated on the talk page that he doesn't care if it's deleted. May the Force be with you!

  • Delete. NSLE (T+C) at 10:15 UTC (2006-06-05)
  • Delete per nom. --Coredesat 10:33, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and mark as a rejected proposal. We don't delete rejected proposals, do we? --Tango 11:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep tagged as rejected, per above. Pointless, but we have many pointless failed proposals. Just zis Guy you know? 11:43, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. It would be inappropriate and inaccurate to mark this as rejected - it has never been rejected since it was never even proposed. If we kept every pseudo-policy page that was inexpertly created in the wikipedia: namespace we'd be up to our ears by now. Delete its shortcuts too. --HughCharlesParker (talk - contribs) 11:55, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Per nom. QuizQuick 15:14, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and mark as rejected. Wikipedia policy proposals should generally be kept so that we don't waste times with new proposals that are the same as previously rejected ones. David | Talk 16:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Tag with {{rejected}}. The concept of trusted users is good idea in general, but there's simply way too many editors around for it to work even remotely smooth. Misza13 T C 18:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Tag with delete for ever - the concept of trusted users is one of the worst ideas -- Drini 17:01, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep with {{rejected}} so that we can continue to learn from such good faith proposals. Rossami (talk) 18:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment as it's the way this seems to be going, I've preemtively tagged it as rejected, also changed the transclusions of all admins to a link. — xaosflux Talk 17:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep with rejected status. Keeping old proposals help enhance new ones. // The True Sora 00:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Good-faith proposals don't need to be deleted. --TantalumTelluride 04:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete instruction creep. Computerjoe's talk 15:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and tag as rejected per other proposals. RN 00:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, tag, blah, blah as above. Metamagician3000 05:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Misza13. Trusted according to whom? We all have our own ideas of who's trusted (even if there's some sort of consensus, there will still be some disagreement). This is why I think it will never work. — Nathan (talk) 21:59, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete in this case. Troll magnet. --Tony Sidaway 22:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and tag as rejected for wikipedia's own history. This in not article space and policy proposal was made in good faith. `'mikka (t) 23:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. By the way, the proposal is not so pointless as it may seem. In the case you didn't notice, we already have several levels of "trustedness": admins, anon users (who are not allowed to start an article) and we have semiprotection with its built-in "truct threshold", and we have users on probation (read: not very trusted yet). Also, in some e-mailing systems there is a notion of "trusted sender", so the guy didn't get the idea out of the blue.`'mikka (t) 23:35, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but tag as {{rejected}}. Promotes cabalism. Werdna (talk) 00:05, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, why keep it? It was never even proposed. Prodego talk 00:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, put it out of its misery. Ral315 (talk) 01:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, per nom. Ian13/talk 20:14, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
