MediaWiki talk:Header-sandbox

From Homestar Runner Wiki

I noticed that on a discussion page, (I wish I could remember which one), one or two users were confused by the <!--You will get blocked from editing if you remove this line!-->.

They seemed to think it was the warning text, not the template, that would get them blocked.

Perhaps we could use the idea on the Introduction, where the actuall template is called Template:Please leave this line alone. That way, when they want the template to appear, they type {{Please leave this line alone}}, making it so users aren't confused.

We could move this template to something like Template:You will get blocked if you edit this line!

That would make users less confused. — _talk Bubsty _edits 01:43, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

No, I think it's just fine how it is. -- Tom 01:46, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

It does work like this, but as I said, a couple of users were confused. — _talk Bubsty _edits 01:48, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I know what you said. I am also aware of the discussion. One user asked a question about it and their question was answered. It's not a problem. -- Tom 01:55, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok, just a suggestion. — _talk Bubsty _edits 02:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I came up with a different approach. I moved the instructions to the MediaWiki namespage and hard-coded them into the page, so there won't be any problems with it being deleted. I will look into doing the same for the introduction page. — It's dot com 20:12, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
