Custom, unsupported templates have a way of screwing up MyWikiBiz formatting

However, I noticed a few things, which I'm afraid may need to be fixed/clarified:

−

# The <nowiki>{{RFM-Filed|Case name}}</nowiki> tag doesn't seem to be working, and shows up as {{tl|RFM-Filed|Case name}} (a red link).

+

# The <nowiki>{{RFM-Filed|Case name}}</nowiki> tag doesn't seem to be working, and shows up as <nowiki>{{tl|RFM-Filed|Case name}}</nowiki> (a red link).

# I would like you to manually show me my instructions because adding the <nowiki>{{subst:RFM}}</nowiki> tag gives me no instructions.

# The linked example is confusing and doesn't show a relevant example where it says "Be sure to provide diff links (like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation&diff=39192936&oldid=39192608 this]) to demonstrate that the templates have been added to the relevant article's talk pages and user's talk pages."

Howdy, I noticed you were the admin who banned {{User|HD 123321}} a few weeks ago, and I wanted to seek your advise. An anon IP, {{User|24.82.136.103}} (possibly the same person as HD 123321 discussed below) and I have been trying to work out a disagreement about the use of the term "Indian" versus "First Nation" in the [[Squamish, British Columbia]] article. Although we both discuss it on the talk page, the reverts are pushing the 3 revert rule (at least in intent) and my patience.

Howdy, I noticed you were the admin who banned <nowiki>{{User|HD 123321}}</nowiki> a few weeks ago, and I wanted to seek your advise. An anon IP, <nowiki>{{User|24.82.136.103}}</nowiki> (possibly the same person as HD 123321 discussed below) and I have been trying to work out a disagreement about the use of the term "Indian" versus "First Nation" in the [[Squamish, British Columbia]] article. Although we both discuss it on the talk page, the reverts are pushing the 3 revert rule (at least in intent) and my patience.

The evidence I have for sockpuppetry to me seems less than solid. It is the similarity in interests (Canadian Politics) and at least one revert to an edit which was nearly identical to an edit by HD 123321 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blair_Wilson&diff=prev&oldid=39153659 the edit] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blair_Wilson&diff=39153659&oldid=37054820 comparison of edits]). I reverted that edit, since it did seem to degrade the quality of the article (removing an image and a template). Aside from that, he also took HD 123321's position in the Squamish discussion, which is how he came to my attention. He has not, however, edited some of the pages HD 123321 was so keen to keep as his version before being banned.

Hi - Any idea how to deal with intermittent vandalism? [[User:203.116.30.225|203.116.30.225]] ([[User talk:203.116.30.225|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/203.116.30.225|contribs]] • [{{fullurl:Special:Log/move|user={{{2|203.116.30.225}}}}} page moves] • [[Special:Blockip/203.116.30.225|block user]] • [{{fullurl:Special:Log/block|page=User:{{{2|203.116.30.225}}}}} block log]) seems to make four or five vandalism edits at a time, but not very frequently. I suspect a 24 hour block would be pointless, but I gather longer is not typical. I'm generally not an "enforcer" type (I've blocked perhaps two users), but I'm curious if there's a standard practice. Thanks. -- [[user:Rick Block|Rick Block]] ([[user talk:Rick Block|talk]]) 04:14, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

:A longer block wouldn't be a problem, if we can establish that it's a static IP. If this has been going on, in the same manner, for a while (i.e., a couple months) go ahead and hit it with a block that will last a while (use your judgement, if the contributions are a couple days apart, make it a week block, if they are a couple weeks apart, make it a month block, etc.) [[User:Essjay|Essjay]] [[User talk:Essjay|''Talk'']] • [[User:Essjay/Contact|''Contact'']] 17:40, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|Welcome back]], {{PAGENAME}}! My name is Ryan, aka [[User:Acetic Acid|Acetic Acid]]. I noticed that you just came back from your break! I just wanted to see if you had a good vacation. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use [[HTML]] and [[CSS]]. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

Essjay, I just put this licencing template on my user page:

−

+

<nowiki>{{WikimediaAllLicensing}}</nowiki>

There is a sentence saying that "I grant...for the Wikimedia Foundation Inc. to relicense my text and media contributions, including any images, audio clips, or video clips". Does it mean that I can let wikimedia relicense ALL of my image contributions, or only relicense the image that I created?
