Too much complexity for the servers too handle... no real way to simplify it. Phlip 23:17, 27 June 2006 (CDT)

Phun with Redirects

I did the first 500 redirects, leaving the ones that shouldn't be deleted off the list. Please leave comments as whether you agree or disagree with my selection before we go through any more.--Dehstil (t|c) 18:16, 1 July 2006 (CDT)
Ok, went through all of them. The question now is: ~~if I added the delete links, would you~~ should we delete them?--Dehstil (t|c) 20:47, 2 July 2006 (CDT);00:38, 12 July 2006 (CDT)
I added a message to "Safe adventuring" asking for all outstanding links and bookmarks to be updated. Should I add this messagebox to all relevant redirects?--Dehstil (t|c) 15:25, 9 October 2006 (CDT)

Image:KPI-A.png (delete | links)

Ummm, this is intersting, but what is it doing on the wiki? Coldfront seems like a better place to post this, or a personal website.--Terrabull 01:07, 30 July 2006 (CDT)
- Disagree - I like it, we just need to find a home for it. --Gymnosophist 08:03, 21 September 2006 (CDT)

TheKolWiki:Current events (delete | links)

Should we try to use this for something or no?--Dehstil (t|c) 17:16, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
- Last call before deletion, how about KoL events like holidays, or some of the stuff we have in the announcement system?
  Edit: Or, if it were updated, we could use TheKolWiki:Current Projects.--Dehstil (t|c) 16:35, 27 August 2006 (CDT)

TheKolWiki History

Category:Azimuth Tables (delete | links)
Template:666 (delete | links)

Should these be deleted or should we archive them, like other stuff, into wiki history?--Dehstil (t|c) 18:19, 27 August 2006 (CDT)

I'm kinda fond of 666 - it's not official KoL history, but I'd like to see it preserved somehow. The Azimuth Tables should probably be preserved so long as there is even the faintest chance of their being useful. I suppose history is as good a place as any. --Gymnosophist 19:13, 1 September 2006 (CDT)
As far as I'm concerned, the azimuth tables have absolutely no further use on the wiki - the observatory is long gone, and it is likely never coming back. I say it's about time we cleared them out. --Quietust (t|c) 23:26, 21 September 2007 (CDT)

Main Page Makeover Example (delete | links), Talk (delete)

Should this be deleted, saved as history, or used as a main page suggestion sandbox?--Dehstil (t|c) 16:28, 4 September 2006 (CDT)
- Mmm, not history. We can delete the page, or blank it and save it as a placeholder for a possible future makeover. I guess I'd say just delete it. We should archive the talk page though - it has some valuable content. --Gymnosophist 16:43, 4 September 2006 (CDT)

Pappabear (delete | links), Talk (delete)

A page about a "famous" spammer. I don't think he is famous enough to warrant his own page.--Jubbers14 19:50, 25 November 2006 (CST)

I don't think so. I found that page a interesting read. It's KoL related, it's educational, and it's non-stuby. That alone is worth it's own page.--Munkel 23:06, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

Concur with Jubbers14 - we don't want to encourage vandals by increasing their fame. --Improv 07:55, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

Concur with Munkel. I would not have known about this noted scammer except for this page and it seems to be an important part of KoL meta-history. Also, Bashy recognition-by-artwork must count for something. --Killerrabbit 15:42, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

No need to delete this. It's a part of KoL History. It's not encouraging vandals, it's pointing out what happened.

--Clackling 10:05, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

I've mixed feelings. At the time, he was indeed quite notable, and he did earn somewhat of a place in the history of the game and the forum. On the other hand, that's pretty much ancient history now, and nobody really gives a shit about who pappabear was. He had no lasting legacy. I would say that the page probably doesn't fit with the goals of this wiki. --Aardvark (Talk | Contribs) 18:21, 18 February 2008 (CST)

The Rye (delete | links), Talk (delete)

That page is just random spam. And it is on the History of KoL page. --Swordmast3r, 20:56, 6 December 2006 (CMT)

Nope...sorry...go ahead and appeal my decision to User:Jinya if you want.--SomeStranger ^(t|c) 20:35, 14 December 2006 (CST)
It's vanity, and really doesn't belong on the wiki. --Improv 07:57, 2 April 2007 (CDT)
Agrees with sword and improv --Killerrabbit 15:46, 3 April 2007 (CDT)
I similarly agree; it's quite nonsensical and useless. It even stops being funny rather quickly. --Invariel 19:57, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
I wouldn't delete it- even Wikipedia has like 40 LONG pages of just random funny crap that people wrote one day. --Frummidge 20:57, 27 November 2007 (CST)
I vote 'Nay'. While it is a satirical post about the Rye, it does serve as a list of the members. I think this was done in response to Chubbles' Clan Histories. Anyone who knows the Rye knows they have an interesting sense of humor and awesomeness about them. This is merely an extension of that. If you're going to toss this, toss all the other clan pages with it. --Shoptroll 12:19, 21 January 2008 (CST)
yup, one more nay. although tossing all the clan pages is tempting the big ones (and, yes, the rye is big) are a part of kol history. --Evilkolbot 16:38, 13 February 2008 (CST)

Make War, Not... Oh, Wait (delete | links), Talk (delete)

Obsoleted page. --TechSmurf 03:47, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

i'd have to say that the redirect is probably useful, even though you can't search for "make war" and get a sensible result. so i vote it stays. --Evilkolbot 08:40, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

Shields (by DR) (delete | links), Talk (delete)

As noted in its talk page, not particularly heavily used/useful? Redundant with Off-hand Items/Damage Reduction.--Bagatelle 19:25, 14 August 2007 (CDT)

Data Collection Guidelines (delete | links), Talk (delete)

Page has no content...discussion stalled in 2005.--Foggy 13:11, 18 October 2007 (CDT)

but the talk page does have content, and it's interesting stuff. i vote this stays. perhaps the guidelines part of the talk could be summarised and put on the page. --Evilkolbot 15:52, 20 October 2007 (CDT)

Unlocking Bad Moon

Content belongs on Bad Moon.

Concur. This page isn't particularly useful. --Aardvark (Talk | Contribs) 18:25, 18 February 2008 (CST)

Old Moon Table (delete | links)

Full Moon Table Feb-May 2007 (delete | links), Talk (delete)

Are these particularly relevant now? --Bagatelle 12:37, 9 February 2008 (CST)

I say they are, because they are history of the kingdom --Noinamg 22:20, 13 February 2008 (CST)

Template:FEATURE Evil Golden Arches (delete | links)

All lies now... --Bagatelle 19:58, 11 February 2008 (CST)

is there a way of archiving the content? --Evilkolbot 16:33, 13 February 2008 (CST)
- Well, most of the factual content on the Feature is found on Evil Golden Arches, with the remainder (mall availability of Damned Meals) being found on Children's Meal of the Damned. While the Feature is undeniably written more coyly, the information is no longer correct. To correct the article, we'd have to either limit it to the regular arches (kinda bleh to have three lines saying "this is a container you can use to get food"), or use past tense (why Feature something that's no longer in-game, er, not that anyone's bothered to rotate the articles in the last four months--we is so lazy). --Bagatelle 17:45, 13 February 2008 (CST)

Sex

Totaly a vandal page.--CheezyBob 18:25, 12 February 2008 (CST)

Suspicious girl

Another vandal page from the same person as the one above. --CheezyBob 18:31, 12 February 2008 (CST)

User:Starwed/quickitem (delete | links)

Is just a really weird user page with no information. --Noinamg 01:08, 17 February 2008 (CST)

Just a guess, but I think he decided to create a convenient place for him to "look up" the basic skeleton for an item page, rather than having to think up an appropriate (actual) item to look up and then yoink the code from (which is what I usually do if I can't remember something). --Flargen 04:55, 18 February 2008 (CST)

it's also in his user space so he can do whatever he likes. within reason, of course. --Evilkolbot 06:17, 18 February 2008 (CST)
Yeah, I was using that as a subst template to create items a bit more quickly. (Maybe we should have some official pages for that?) I guess now that I can delete pages I should do a clean-up of my userspace, though... (there's a lot of cruft from template experiments lying around there. ^_^)--Starwed 08:55, 18 February 2008 (CST)

tequiwila

Really Expensive Jewelrymaking

Misspelt redirects. --Flargen 04:53, 18 February 2008 (CST)

Failed pirate mapping project

User:CheezyBob/PirateMap
User:CheezyBob/Coordinates

Yea, these were huge and didn't work well (didn't even load for some), so now they sit blank awaiting deletion. --CheezyBob 00:57, 22 February 2008 (CST)

Tux penguins

Clan page. Guess he missed the big pink box. --Flargen 17:55, 5 March 2008 (CST)

Item drops table

Ludicrously over-ambitious project that was abandoned shortly after it was begun some six months ago. --Deusnoctum 04:04, 11 March 2008 (CDT)

Leprechuan

Misspelt redirect. --Flargen 22:36, 13 March 2008 (CDT)

Filet of angry gnat ("fotilef")

Another misspelt redirect. --Flargen 20:14, 15 March 2008 (CDT)

Cross Pattée Alisee Tatoo

Plate of frank and beans

And another misspelt redirect. The first to a questionably-named page, no less. --Flargen 17:52, 16 March 2008 (CDT)

Crap

M

Just some crap!--Tyilo 08:55, 17 March 2008 (CDT)

Dannyb0y

This guy has an eyepatch or something apparently. Which I'm pretty sure fails to be sufficient reason for his own page by a long shot. --Flargen 00:58, 22 March 2008 (CDT)

Talk:Strange Leaflet Walkthrough (delete | links)

I don't know if this is the right place for this but the secret words still show up in the edit history. --Chunky_boo 22:43, 24 March 2008 (CDT)

I don't know how rigorous we should be... if one does a search of the sekrit words, they show up in several mainspace articles (including several obvious places to look!) and at least one user page. --Bagatelle 19:50, 12 April 2008 (CDT)

User:Tim4christ17

I'd like to delete my userpage to clear the edit history on it. Thanks. --Tim4christ17 22:54, 6 April 2008 (CDT)

Sure.--SomeStranger ^(t|c) 23:03, 6 April 2008 (CDT)

Image:MortarShell.gif

Inexplicably renamed picture. --Bagatelle 19:50, 12 April 2008 (CDT)

The Darkness

Unnecessary (capitalization) redirect for the darkness. --Flargen 01:12, 19 April 2008 (CDT)

Template:ZAP Lasagna

Misspelling; or at least an unnecessarily British way of spelling a word that isn't spelled this way in the game. Already moved to the Lasagna version. --Flargen 01:42, 27 April 2008 (CDT)

Nope, the Zap group templates use plurals (like Kabobs, Ores, Sodas, Gut Dishes) and lasagne is the correct plural form of lasagna. No misspelling; I was careful to look up the plural form before posting. Moved back. --Terion 05:00, 27 April 2008 (CDT)

Template:FEATURE Ancient Yuletide Troll (delete | links)

As it says on Category:Featured Articles, a page for every familiar is not needed. --Irregular 23:16, 3 May 2008 (CDT)

I like some of these, like the NPZR one. The featured articles description says we don't need one for every familiar, but it also doesn't say we shouldn't have any. Of course, it doesn't make much difference if the whole featured article thing is going to remain as neglected as it has been, but that more of a discussion for Template talk:Featuredarticle, which is where I'll take it. --Prestige 23:39, 3 May 2008 (CDT)
