Too much complexity for the servers too handle... no real way to simplify it. Phlip 23:17, 27 June 2006 (CDT)
- I'd recommend this to be relooked at. 3 years and nothings changed. All we have is a template sucking up resources.--Toffile 02:20, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- 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)
TheKolWiki:Current events
- 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
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)
- A piece of Grimace knocked loose by the comet has crashed into the azimuth tables, and obliterated them. --Flargen 00:36, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- 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)
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)
Data Collection Guidelines
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)
- I believe all of that "interesting stuff" exists on other talk pages (where it was originally copy-pasted from), or is already covered or superceeded by the material at spading. So I'm going to have to re-nominate this page for deletion. --Flargen 22:19, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Ditto. It's of no use any more.--Toffile 02:20, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
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)
- AWISE! I don't see how they're particularly relevant history. I don't see why {{666}} is history, either, but I'll tolerate that one. Moon tables make even less sense to me, especially since the pattern of the moons is well-known, and moon phases in the past, present, and future can always be calculated through external sites (or existing wiki templates). Anyone else care for these pages to remain, or can I fire at will? --Flargen 00:11, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)
Locations by Stat Gain
Area Summary
Very out-of-date, very derelict pages and projects. Their former use can be consumed pretty much entirely in Advancement#External Links (once someone finds a more-up-to-date link). Best case these pages need to be tagged for {{rewrite}}. --Flargen 21:53, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Do we need this anymore? It was good for one day. Over two years ago. Or should we add this to the History category, since I think there's something related to this there already? --Flargen 02:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
More obsoleted announcements. Some definitely obsoleted, some maybe still useful but haven't been used since I've been here. --Flargen 02:31, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Template:Gains
Template:NewItem
Template:Toc right
More unused templates. First one appears to have been obsoleted, in particular. It's fun the stuff you can dredge up through Special:SpecialPages. --Flargen 14:19, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
It's a table of requirements for the NS quest, identical to the one on the Naughty Sorceress Quest page, has a rewrite tag on it (even though it appears to be updated), and needs to be updated in the future, and was only linked from the NS page in mainspace (before I removed it). Lol wut 01:54, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- it's formatted so that you can print it out and check things off as neeeded. i vote it's substantially different and adds enough value that it should stay. perhaps a rewrite is in order. --Evilkolbot 21:42, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- Is the primary reason you want to keep Ascension Aids because of the [ ] that appear with each item? The table may be in a useful format, but doesn't appear to be overly useful, simply because of its lack of scope.--Foggy 00:55, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Rubbish. It has some hco-specific advice like "perm pulverise" and "make a meat maid", but otherwise is a normal hardcore guide. No redeeming value, at all. Lol wut 19:45, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- the fact that a page is out of date doesn't mean it should be deleted, only rewritten. i vote it stays. --Evilkolbot 21:32, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- and you're going to rewrite it? and no Lol wut
- again, still no reason to delete what's there. this bee is in your bonnet, why not you? --Evilkolbot 21:42, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- because I don't want to argue with retards like you, obviously. since it has to be done, and I'm not going to do it, and you're not going to do it, who is going to do it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lol wut (talk • contribs) on 11:44, 21 May 2009
- i think you'll find that "retard" is not the word you were searching for. perhaps "ban-happy martinet" would be more descriptive. be a little more civil or your days editing this wiki are numbered.
- there is a consensus that it needs doing, yes. unfortunately patience is the only virtue that will be of immediate use here. if you really, really, want to get done and really, really don't want to do it, then i suggest you apply the same skills as you would in real life, find someone who knows about it and persuade them they want to do it for you. tradesmen in real life only expect cash and are more than likely not to know anything about the thing your paying them for. i have a feeling that in this case, though, if you hang out in the AFH or HCO forums the opposite will be true: they know all there is to know but don't want anything you could give them. i wish you luck.
- sign your posts. --Evilkolbot 12:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- I like that, it's interesting. You've waited 2 years for nothing, so your patience hasn't paid off. I've already hung out in those forums, so that's done. I don't want to for the reason I said, but I will if you want me to, and will make it less painful than this. So, if you do me a favour, and think I know anything about the thing you're paying me for, then I will do it. Does that seem like it's worth doing at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lol wut (talk • contribs) on 17:42, 21 May 2009
- sign your posts. seriously. last warning. --Evilkolbot 19:14, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- Unlikely. I asked you a question.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Lol wut (talk • contribs)
- duplicated page, needs to be checked for completeness of text first, though. --Evilkolbot 21:25, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
- I feel like the content should be on Hellevator Music, because it's technically the adventure page and has an image. --CG1|

Site Map
This is out of date, and doesn't appear to serve much purpose. I'd like to recommend we trash the page. A rewrite of it seems unlikely given the attention so many other parts of the site needs.--Foggy 16:41, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Data Collection Guidelines
The main page is blank, and the talk page was last updated in 2005. I'm sure they'd be nice to have, but if no one's added to this in four years, it's probably never going to happen.--Foggy 02:21, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- That page is actually a bit further up on this page. I also agree on deleting it. I'll give it another day or two if anyone wants to try giving a convincing argument for keeping it. As I said above, all of the information on the talk page should be present on other pages which are more relevant to the current wiki. --Flargen 22:00, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
User:Denwar/Ascension-20090917
User:Denwar/Ascension-20091001
It is his user page but putting logs up is still excessive. Anyone else agree? --CG1||| 03:14, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- This is a wiki, not a personal website. Ascension logs are best stored elsewhere, I say delete. --Lordebon 21:47, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed and deleted. The whole "here's a wiki rendition of my entire kol character sheet" personal pages are contentious enough, but I don't want this can of worms opened up. --Flargen 21:55, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
User:Denwar/HardcoreSkills
User:Denwar/Ascensions
As per the deletion just above this I'll be moving my personal KoL stuff off of the wiki, so these pages will just atrophy if they are not deleted. Thanks. --Denwar 11:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
- Right now we've been allowing users to have those particular kind of things on their user pages. Not that I wouldn't like it if people moved them offsite. The ascension logs were just taking that to the next level, a level I/we didn't really want things to go to. If you still want them removed so you can put them offsite, that's fine and I or someone else can delete them for you. Just wanted to let you know that those are okay for now. --Flargen 18:50, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I understand that the remaining pages are acceptable but I'd rather not give myself two sets of pages to maintain. Deletion request stands, thanks. --Denwar 19:17, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
Mr Accessory Crisis
Hardly a crisis deserving a main page article. Some guy somehow got a small pile of Mr. A's and spread 'em around. There's either a bug/'sploit or someone with with more meat than they need behind it, either way not a crisis. --Lordebon 15:13, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
