Remove the links. They're red. Also, make the Other color the Admin color and the Admin purple the mod color. Then the Valve color Other. Get it? I'd do it, but as usual, fail phone. Smashman 02:17, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't see any red links.... --Firestorm 02:18, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

The Valve guys set their own colours. I'm hesitant to modify that. -- Pilk _(talk) 02:20, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I think he's refering to he "example" and "policy" links. Darkman 4 02:20, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Oh I see what you are saying now. Valve doesn't have their own colour except for a background. -- Pilk _(talk) 02:25, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Why did you remove the bold? Quite liked it. If not bold then put the italics back. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 02:37, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I think we're probably better off avoiding anything that implies hierarchy. Every is equal in the contribution sense, just others are more trusted with elevated privileges. Essentially the colours are there so people know who to get in contact with if they need help. -- Pilk _(talk) 03:43, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm in favor of restoring the bold as well. -- En Ex 06:02, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Having bolded (for extra visibility) and colored names helps better at differentiating, let's say...a mod from a bureaucrat: "Which one do I contact for group rights questions? They're all green...who's the bureaucrat?" You really should change it back the way it was -- Nystus 15:59, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Rollbacker?

Any chance of having the rollbacker usergroup (for those not familiar, rollbacker is an extra user flag that allows the user to use the Rollback tool (normally reserved for Sysops)). This is normally extended to trusted users, but given out more freely than any sysop rights would be RandomTime 00:49, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Maybe, *sniff*, Maybe. It's a good idea. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 00:51, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Other?

I am rather curious... What is "Other" and why is it so gloriously pink :o -- Benjamuffin 21:51, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Move Rights

In light of this recent incident, I propose restricting the right to move pages to moderators and above. I was skeptical of the benefits of allowing normal users the move privilege to begin with, and this episode only makes me more convinced that the downsides outweigh the benefits. Users in general usually just propose a move anyways, useful moves performed immediately without discussion are somewhat rare.

The user rights in question are move and move-subpages. -The Neotank ( | Talk) 22:43, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

 Neutral: On one hand, then he would've replaced entire articles with "smashman sucks cock", so not much of a win there. Additionally, it was one incident, not a series - we don't remove the ability to add external links because one person spammed ad-links. On the other hand, there isn't that much non-mod moving going on. Move Log --CruelCow ^(talk) 22:51, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
