I would like to suggest the following changes to the following two fully protected pages:


Page: User talk:Example

Changes / reasoning:

  • Added link to talk page guidelines for those new users who want to learn more.
  • "I'll archive any WARNINGS on a subpage" is no longer needed. The page is fully protected and won't get any warnings.
  • "Postings made here are unlikely to be seen or receive a response" is unneeded; protected = no posts.
  • "Search archives" is unneeded; no posts = no archived posts.
  • "User:Example/Talk message" links to a deleted page.
  • Why put the TOC on the right? This page should resemble what a new user sees on their own user talk page.
  • Replaced "*" with ":". We don't want to encourage over-use of "*"

Result (ready to cut and paste as a replacement for the current content):

<noinclude>{{Pp-protected|small=yes}}</noinclude>
{{nobots}}
This is an example of a user talk page. See ''']''' for help on using user talk pages.
==Example discussion title==
Example message
:Example reply
::Example reply to reply
:::Example reply to a reply to a reply
:Example second reply
::Example reply to second reply

Page: User:Example/Lipsum

Changes / reasoning:

  • Added link to talk user pages guideline for those new users who want to learn more.
  • "Note: This page is not for writing your articles. Go to your personal sandbox, please" is no longer needed. The page is fully protected and won't get any attempts to put an article here.
  • "User:Example/tabs" links to a deleted page.

Result (ready to cut and paste as a replacement for the current content):

This is an example of a subpage to a user page. See ''']''' for help on using user pages.
