Post on the CP before creating templates

Hi! I see you created a template which is good to see but please post on the CP S:CP before creating templates. Therefore i put the delete template on the template for it to be deleted. Thanks!

Please no. I did.

Did what?

Post on CP

Whatsfordinner77 (talk | contribs) 02:03, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

No, you didn't. There are no topics on the CP right now about a "fulllock" template. Please do post on the Community Portal before creating a new template.

kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 03:49, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Yes, the lock template. The fulllock template is related to that topic. If you say so, I'll salt it.

Whatsfordinner77 (talk | contribs) 05:30, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

It's obviously related, but you didn't explicitly make a new CP post about the template. If by "salt" you mean "protect from creation", you don't have the permissions to do that, and you're thinking about Wikipedia too much.

Well, I have many others

(I stopped beacuse the semilock template image was not transperent.)

Lock templates

Whatsfordinner77 (talk | contribs) 05:47, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

I did not know that ":3" was an emoji

Well, we don't need any lock templates - we have no real need to indicate, when reading a page, what protection level the page is at. Wikipedia shows lock icons on protected pages because even anonymous users can edit pages, so they need to know before attempting to edit that the page is protected. However, here, anonymous users cannot edit, so they don't need to know the protection level of the page anyway.

Please remember that we are not Wikipedia

Hi. I've noticed that many of your newest proposals are essentially copies of things that exist on Wikipedia. Especially your "lock" template idea, and your newest CP topic about various discussion templates.

I want you to keep in mind that we are not Wikipedia, and therefore "it's used on Wikipedia" is not a good reason to add it here. Remember that Wikipedia is a far larger project than we are. Wikipedia's job is to document literally everything; our job is to document Scratch. We don't even have a voting system, except during elections. "support" and "no support" templates aren't useful because people can just say "Support" or "No support" at the start of their replies to the topic anyway, and anyone who can read can see at a glance who supports and who doesn't without having to rely on icons. Wikipedia needs to show their protection policies because it affects their unregistered users; we don't, because we only allow editing to those who have passed an intensive process.

Please do not propose any more ideas without explaining why they would be useful on the Scratch Wiki, and not just on Wikipedia. If you are unable to think of why an idea would help here, please do not propose it simply because "Wikipedia uses it".

Thanks.

Umm... How? I read wikipedia a lot about some tech-y stuff. I am probably going to get banned. The S:NOTWP rule is just forcing me. Ok. I'll say just more than "It's on Wikipedia."
