[edit] Removing link to vandalism

This template is very useful for many newbies who just do some kind of experiment. Since we want to AGF, it would limit the use of this template trememdously if it were only reserved to clear cases of bad faith. Moreover, this template is already quite wordy, so it helps to reduce the text. Last not least, if somebody really did an edit in bad faith, it may just give them ideas if we point them to Wikipedia:Vandalism. This is why I deleted it. — Sebastian 21:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. This template should be re-worded, carefully and with lots of thought, immediately or it should be deleted. --ElectricEye (talk) 10:34, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Poor wording

Another template that is poorly worded. It insults the contributor and can cause further bad reactions because it only provides the contributor with a link to the article they edited but not an exact difference to any specific edit in question. The problem with this is the contributor may have done many edits to a certain article and maybe all of those are excellent edits except for 1. --ElectricEye (talk) 10:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
