Aw, come on, Derik's edit was not only amusing but incredibly appropriate given the subject matter of this wiki. - Dark T Zeratul 00:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- If that's really what everyone wants, go ahead and change it back; I just don't think that tone's appropriate for administrative messages. They should be straightforward and easy to understand, no matter what. --Suki Brits 00:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, you should discuss this with Sipher then. He's the one who proposed all administrative tags have funny text and images, ala Wookieepedia, in the first place. --Rotty 00:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay, here are the fundamentals of administrative templates:
- They need to not look boring.
- They need to be easy to understand the purpose of.
Wookieepedia does this by giving the amusing template text then giving the concise, simple explanation of what the hell the template actually is for. The latter is absolutely necessary. Make whatever changes you like, but it's pretty important, otherwise stuff just gets hard to follow. --Suki Brits 00:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
