Wikipedia talk:RfC/User names/Institutional memory
Names to include edit
I think we should only include terms that required debate on here. Let' leave the more obvious ones off. Kukini hablame aqui 03:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
New template "rfcnindex" edit
See instructions at {{rfcnindex}} -- or just see how the entries are formatted now.
Besides reducing duplicate typing of usernames, this template lets the date be also a link to the archive entry.
And each indexed name is its own "anchor", for instance Wikipedia:RfC/User names/Institutional memory#MyBuddha takes you directly to "MyBuddha"'s entry.
Future fomatting of this page/section edit
Perhaps, as some of these begin to grow, we should consider making subpages with samples, in the format that Ben has devised? --Kukini hablame aqui 17:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Time to move? edit
I think it's time we moved Wikipedia:RfC/User names/Institutional memory → Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names/Index by reason , and Wikipedia talk:RfC/User names/Institutional memory → Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/User names/Index by reason . For one thing, "RfC" isn't the actual name of the hierarchy; for another, "Institutional memory" is too broad a term, applying equally well to the main page history and to the /Archive subpage.
It would be nice to also have an "Index by name", perhaps automated with the same sort of code used to maintain the index-by-section-title of Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchives. -- Ben TALK/HIST 19:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Allow and "no consensus" edit
I think a distinction should be made between an "allow" decision and a "no consensus" decision. Borisblue 00:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
