Wondering if this would be any use and if people would use it. It's a QVFD template I made, which would be applied by IPs or other people who can't use QVFD because their account isn't old enough yet. Tell me what you think. -Kjhf!- (feeling chatty?) 16:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

As far as I remember there used to be a QVFD template, which was deprecated long time ago. Why do you think we need one? ~ 20:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, just took a better look at your purposal, since the QVFD is usually maintained by registered users who don't need this template plus you need some time on the site to know QVFD from ICU from stub etc, and the fact that IPs usually don't handle site maintainance, I don't see much use for it...~ 20:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Don't need it. Users can simply add pages to QVFD if they think they need to be there, in which case admins will review them, and if it's found out that said user/ip cannot add pages intelligently, they will be prevented from doing so. --Sir ENeGMA (talk) GUN WotM PLS 00:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

And by prevented you obviously mean, asked nicely? :) ~ 11:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'll keep it in my space if anyone changes their mind (Which they probably won't, but you never know...) -Kjhf!- (feeling chatty?) 13:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I think we all agreed that the QVFD template was just a waste of time. Sir Cs1987 UOTM. t. c 16:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

That's not very nice (at least if you meant it Cs)! I think the template was a good thought, except for the reasons Mordillo outlined, which weren't necessarily all that obvious. -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 17:34, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think he meant kjhf's template specificly, we had a qvfd template before, an established one, but it took about as long to add it to a page as it did to actually put the page on qvfd - jack mort | cunt | talk - 19:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Comment - Yeah, exactly what Jack said. You probably weren't here when we had the old QVFD template. Basically it is much easier just to put the articles on QVFD. Adding a template seems pointless when the article is probably going to die in a few minutes. Sir Cs1987 UOTM. t. c 02:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

There's a reason IPs and new users can't add to qvfd. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 19:06, 24 Feb 2007

Actually, I've found that all new users and IPs seem to do is add to qVFD. Yay equivocation! --Sir ENeGMA (talk) GUN WotM PLS 19:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, maybe I was thinking of something else. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 19:46, 24 Feb 2007

I think ENeGMA meant that all their articles end up on QVFD. Welcome to the thread of misunderstandings. May I fetch you four candles? -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 20:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I already have enough handles for my forks. \o/ • Spang • ☃ • talk • 20:43, 24 Feb 2007

On a different subject: Admins, I've made a new box for you. Also, if anyone wants a box done, come see me. -Kjhf!- (feeling chatty?) 12:52, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Um... I can't read it. The colors are, as they say in the ghettos, "Wack".--<<>> 22:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Officail Vote to Delete That Template

• There was once a QVFD template. But it just led to people recreating QVFD pages after they were deleted. Overall, I prefer to find articles on NewPages, and leave QVFD to letting users feel that they help me. So, Against -- The Zombiebaron 03:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• I am against the use of this template, but we don't need to remove it from kjhf's userspace. Sir Cs1987 UOTM. t. c 03:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
• Crap of qvfd calibre does not need a template to be put onto it. A deletion queue and a notification to the author works just as well. --~

  • Comment-- I'm sure I put "Ok, I'll keep it in my space if anyone changes their mind". It's not actually in use yet... -Kjhf!- (feeling chatty?) 15:59, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
