I just created two new warning templates for use when a user removes messages from talk pages, which seems to be a fairly common thing to warn for. The basic warning is {{Msg-talkremove}}. I also created {{Msg-talkarchive}}, which is for use when a user has removed messages from his/her own talk page and points out that the message can be archived if they want. Anybody have any suggestions on how to improve them? Better wording, things to link to, etc.? Or do you like them as is? —MJ— Training Room 00:23, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
- They look great to me. The only suggestion I would have is adjusting "public record" to "part of the public record" for both templates. CC7567 (talk) 00:27, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Tweaked per your suggestion. —MJ— Jedi Council Chambers 00:34, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Look good to me. I warn people for this quite a bit, so it's good to have a template for it. Thanks for whipping them up. The only complaint/comment I would have is that the template names seem a bit long. Personally, when warning someone, I like to do it as quickly as possible. Perhaps something like "Msg-Talkarc" or "Msg-talka" and "Msg-talkr." Thoughts? Any better shortenings?—Cal Jedi

- I've moved both templates to your second suggestion (msg-talkr and msg-talka). —MJ— Council Chambers 03:06, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Awesome. Thanks. It'll make it a lot easier for me, anyways. :P —Cal Jedi (Personal Comm Channel) 03:08, November 15, 2012 (UTC)

- Yeah, they look great. Removing talk page messages has become disturbingly common, and these templates will be a great way to counteract it. Menkooroo (talk) 02:59, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
