User talk:The Thirteenth Doctor
Thanks
Thanks for that and good luck with the answers site. :)--Skittles the hog - talk 17:50, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Ditto. Oh, you may want to know that we've just this weekend updated our archiving templates. So if you want to make them compatible with the archive tool you can find under this page's edit drop down, just replace all your architecture at the top of the page with the simple template {{ArchCat}}. ON your individual archives, you can replace what you have now with {{ArchPage}}. If you want :) Note, however, that these templates will continue to be supported and upgraded in the future, whereas the ones you're currently using may be subject to deletion, as they're not compatible with the current automatic archiving system. Anyway, thanks and good luck at DWA.

DW Answers wordmark
I'm unable to leave a message on your user talk page at DW Answers because you have the page sysop locked, for some reason. I know that Answers sites take a lot of fly-by vandalism, but you might want to consider whether it's wise the lead admin to be unreachable by normal talk page communication. But I digress. To celebrate the clean sweep you're proposing, I've dashed off a new wordmark for you that'll work better with really any background, but especially dark ones. I created a forum post about it and alerted your other bureaucrats to it. If you don't like it, I certainly won't be offended if you don't use it. But a transparent wordmark of some kind would probably be more flexible than the current, white-backgrounded design.
And, not that I'm one of your admins or anything, but your suggestion to just nuke the questions you have and start afresh is a fantastic idea. However, it might be wise to spend the next week or so getting some policies in order. Seriously, have you checked out BC's jaw-dropping revisions to the blocking policy? You might want, also, to have some concrete guidelines for how you'd like questions asked and answered. What format should the pages in your namespace 0 take? Give some practical examples of good and bad ways to phrase questions. Show people whether you want to separate individual answers with horizontal lines, indentation or headings. Then, after you're sure you've explained the basics, drop the nuclear bomb and regenerate the site. In other words, absolutely get rid of those 5000+ pages, but have a clear set of guidelines for how the site is going to run.
Or at least, that's how I'd do it. Your milage could indeed vary.
