Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) i know im not supposed to touch this since its a user page but its in the fine carpentry items category, so it shows up on the list of fine carpentry items https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Category:Fine_carpentry_items. can we please do something? https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/User:Zellmer/dough Edited July 20, 2022 by Tpikol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2022 Not sure what the rules are, but I removed the reference to fine carpentry so it's no longer on the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2022 Just a reminder that we don't allow players to edit other player's user or player pages without that player's permission (even if we don't like what's on there, unless it goes against Wurm rules). We know it sounds controversial, but remember we don't allow anyone to edit your personal page either! This is a strange situation, so I'm leaving it, but these will be reverted in future. Thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2022 Perhaps it's time to tweak the rules to deal with situations like this? I don't have a user page of my own, but if I did what would stop me tagging myself in all kinds of inappropriate pages in order to promote my merchants or whatever?

Posted July 21, 2022 That example would be a violation of wiki rules. We haven't reconsidered that rule because we want to allow players to have control of their own pages, to put what they want on it, without worry about other players interfering there (other than violation of wiki rules). No one would like it if other players were going in and changing information on their page. Part of the wiki is seeing player pages with misspellings, incorrect English, claims of grandeur that may or may not be true, and allowing them their personal space anyway.

Posted July 21, 2022 make adding your own personal or test pages to mainspace categories be against the rules? that would help in cases like the one on this topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2022 That is something we may consider, yes. We're looking at a few ways to improve player/user pages and that side of the wiki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
