Three posts in an hour... I leave UESP alone for 5 minutes and see what I have to catch up with?
A few days ago, Elliot the Thick created a new template for Oblivion Editor Ids. Ignoring the fact that this is a totally stupid idea for a minute, he has tweaked it, ending up with yesterday's edit that took the total size of the template to 85.3K!
I'm not going to bother telling you what a stupid idea this is. Anybody who knows anything about MediaWiki (and Elliot the Thick claims that he does) knows this is a site killer.
Let's see what MediaWiki says about templates, shall we? "If you have standard texts you want to include on several pages, the MediaWiki template feature comes into play."
EtT's template puts a different piece of text onto each page that uses it. Just how thick do you have to be to think this was the right use for a template? Oh - as thick as Elliot the Thick. Of course.

You are a troll. Just a couple of weeks ago you said that he was trying to boost his edit count. If he would have added it to all the pages, you have accused him of that all well. It is okay to make fair observations, but now you are just trolling.
ReplyDeleteIf the edits are *necessary* then there's no problem. In this case, there's no consensus about it and there's an 80K template involved! Have you ANY idea what a bad idea that is?
ReplyDeleteI will leave it for you to tell me what I know (since you seem entitled to that action)...
ReplyDeleteIf you already know that it's a bad idea, stop arguing for it.
