Valhalla guidelines

Seems to be little more than a vanity page for the valhalla chat channel. --Quietust 00:26, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

• Keep As far as I know, I don't even need to explain my vote, right? --Scorpios 00:28, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

Actually, I wasn't aware that votes were required for inappropriate pages to be deleted from the wiki, and if they are, then explanations certainly are required. Really, if you want to put some "Valhalla guidelines" on the wiki, put them on your user page - this sort of stuff doesn't belong in the global namespace. --Quietust 00:33, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

Alright. The page does no harm to anyone. As it is a guideline, it can help any /valhallians who are not familiar with the customs and regulations of the channel. --Scorpios 00:46, 15 June 2006 (CDT) P.S. You ahve yet to cast your vote, Quietust.

• Keep You can't delete the rules!--Punk27 00:32, 15 June 2006 (CDT)
• Keep, Could very well end up being if not useful, a good documentation of past channel trends--Yama The Artificer 00:34, 15 June 2006 (CDT)
• Keep Valhalla is a special part of kol for many, and the page can be moved to a new home if it gets too inane--Vimes177 00:35, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

I'm assuming that at least one of you is a moderator in /valhalla - if not, then who are you to declare what the rules are? --Quietust 00:36, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

<sarcasm>You're right. I'm glad this is coming from a /valhalla regular though and not just some random KoL player who this doesn't apply too. Godo thing you have the personal experience in the channel to understand.</sarcasm> (What, it's the best I could do without getting blatently flamey.) --Scorpios 00:41, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

• Comment:Valhalla is not run by moderation, just general baleetion and humour at the rulebreaker's expense, and these ideas have been OK'd by TavernWench, who is a mod--Vimes177 00:39, 15 June 2006 (CDT)
• Delete. Aha! Getting into articles for deletion spirit, I see. As far as I can see this is a joke page. Joke pages are not meant as a part of the wiki, as they tend to be confusing, etc... If you want to place this on your userpage, then go ahead. I will add that, if this page were to be constructed in a more serious manner, then I would have no problem with keeping it.--SomeStranger (T | C) 07:31, 15 June 2006 (CDT)
• Delete. Unless we do this in a somewhat uniform way for all the chat channels, this just seems weird and unbalanced to me. If I saw guidelines for the other channells this may make more sense to me. --DataVortex 09:06, 15 June 2006 (CDT)
• Delete. I'm with SomeStranger and DataVortex on this one. The language used kinda ruins it for me, too. but why not put it on your user page and link to it from the chat channel list - that way it's easy to find AND it's obvious that it is a community thing rather than official KoL content... --NewZorkBat 09:29, 15 June 2006 (CDT)
• Delete. Lame jokes only have a place here outside of the User space if the dev team wrote them. --Evilkolbot 15:28, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

Zzzzzz...

Junk page. --Quietust 00:57, 22 June 2006 (CDT)

I don't think he's famous enough, even for these leftover redirects

Electronic nose

Electronic nose. Uh... yeah. --LucySpace (Talk|Cntrbs) 12:49, 29 June 2006 (CDT)
Also, Talk:Electronic nose --LucySpace (Talk|Cntrbs) 15:26, 29 June 2006 (CDT)

:Category:Class_images

This category has no entries. Category:Class_Images is being used instead. --LucySpace (Talk|Cntrb) 15:47, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

Template talk:Clubs

Orphaned talk page + pertinent discussion moved.--Dehstil (t|c) 23:36, 19 June 2006 (CDT)

Maximizing Your Adventure gain during rollover

Awkwardly titled redirect, nothing links to the page. --LucySpace (Talk|Cntrb) 07:24, 20 June 2006 (CDT)

Categories

I'd like to see category:paths and category:Zodiac Signs merged into a single category, (category:ascension?) and those two deleted. Paths only contains three articles, and never can contain more. Zodiac Signs contains 9 articls, but is in the same boat - limitted category. At the very least, category:paths should be emptied and deleted. Three articles does not a category make. --Aardvark 07:51, 13 Sep 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

Paths and signs probably would go well together under an ascension category, but I think it would have to be made pretty clear on the category page which are paths and which are signs. Also, it wouldn't really feel complete without a hardcore article put into it, and possibly a normal or softcore one made. But that's just my opinion. --Doppelheathen 18:54, 24 Sep 2005 (MDT)

Perhaps a new page which detailed the various signs for each path in various categories would be appropriate. At the very least, the two pages should be combined into a new one and the originals be made into redirects. --Xym 18:37, 8 January 2006 (Central Standard Time)

Full Gift Shop

This request was not fulfilled(the article was not deleted).

This has been discussed, but no explation of usefulness has been given yet.--Dehstil 18:37, 1 June 2006 (CDT)

• Erm....I don't know...We have unlimited space on the wiki (well sort of unlimited)....why not just keep it....?--SomeStranger (T | C) 18:39, 1 June 2006 (CDT)

Template:ItemByPowerLineItem

A good idea that would have worked nicely. Unfortunately, the wiki parser doesn't work that way.--Dehstil 19:08, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

Mr Bill

This request was not fulfilled(the article was not deleted).

Another needless user page redirect. --Evilkolbot 17:16, 8 June 2006 (CDT)

• I am going to say no on this one. Mr Bill is notable enough to deserve a redirect to his userpage.--SomeStranger (T | C) 20:05, 8 June 2006 (CDT)

Image:Minimoonspacer.gif

Was used for a time on Talk:Moons, but isn't needed any more, with {{moon}}. Phlip 17:42, 11 June 2006 (CDT)

Template:Cupcakes

I guess you could keep this one...just because, maybe? eh.--Dehstil 18:49, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

Template:Collection

This template is unworkable and would be unnecessary and difficult to apply to every page now, if gotten to work.--Dehstil 18:44, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

Hey, didn't realize someone had already uploaded Jick's image--can someone delete this one?--Pastamancer5 23:30, 7 February 2006 (Central Standard Time)

• This image's deletion was requested by contributor. Our pretty version is in use instead of this "rotationally correct" version.--Dehstil 14:28, 3 June 2006 (CDT)

Colin

• this is currently a redirect to User:Colin. isn't the current standard that, unless famous, users don't get their own page, even as a redirect? --Evilkolbot 06:49, 8 June 2006 (CDT)

• While this is most likely true, I do have a sort of "fame" in /c trade. I have no idea as to what extent you have to be famous, but I did not originally make my page. It was made for me by a friend, Reaper77 (#469606). However, if the extent of fame just has to be that you be known, then I'm pretty sure that I qualify for that channel. If it is more than that, than I'm most likely not. If this is the case, I will have no quams about you deleting my page, it has just been a fun thing that I have had to be able to point people to and to continue writing events that happen down.
