Message to Fae

Does anyone feel that the Wikiquette is too weak to enforce the
respect aspect of the five pillars?

I wonder if we should make RFC/U a lot easier for cases where
administrators show a pattern of not handling new editors very well.
If [[WP:WQA]] had some teeth, say 3 reports against an admin and you
have to go back to "admin school" (not necessarily the pillory of RFA)
this might be a way of making some overly bullish admins think twice
about their language and impression they give newbies.

Cheers,
Fae

I think we have had trouble enforcing Wikiquette, however, I can't
understand all the acronyms. Could you please translate your question
into something more understandable and spelled out?

Fred

Fred, I'm guessing you are asking for the benefit of others on this
non-en.wp focused list. RFC/U is a user conduct Request for Comments,
WQA is a noticeboard for wikiquette alerts (basically, people go there
to complain when someone else is rude), and RfA is the process by
which people become administrators.

Oops, sorry Fred,

On Wikipedia I have a nice acronym expanding script to make sure I
don't get locked into jargon, particularly useful when explaining
things to newer editors.

Cheers,
Fae

It's a WP USCRIPT at WP:TLA/TL:DR/TTP. DL it on the QT because it's TS and
you'll get KP if found out.

:P

Re: Message to Fae [In reply to]

Hi Philippe,

I use an iMacro script, which is probably pretty geeky. Someone with a
bit of JavaScript knowledge could probably find a way of getting it
turned into a more maintable wiki user script.

Cheers,
Fae
