Template talk:commentary
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Needed?
This is an interesting idea, but it's poorly laid out, and I'm not sure it's really all that helpful, especially considering the wording sometimes needs to be tweaked. (Some DVD toons have *two* commentaries, after all...) That said, I'm mostly neutral on this, because it *could* be helpful if set up right, so I marked it TBD to see what others think. -YK

- I think we have done fine without this template so far. However, should the community wish to use this, then we need a different image, as different people can do the commentaries, not just TBC. Loafing

- I agree that it is unneeded, for the reasons already stated, however this edit summary (YK "TBD. Most new templates, especially ones replacing long-standing parts of the site, and not created by a sysadmin, should inherently be discussed, IMO.") is an inappropriate attitude. After a while, patterns tend to emerge and it makes sense for identical parts of the site (which this isn't) to be turned into a template. Furthermore, in matters of general wiki functioning, which this is, the rank of "sysop" does not apply, as the community has equal say in these sort of things. — Defender1031*Talk 15:05, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- True to your name, I understand why you'd defend him... however, I probably shouldn't have said "sysop", so much as "long-standing member with a good reputation", over "someone with a history of vandalism". But never mind. I'm not as nice as some people, so... -YK
