Addition of a template, modification of rules

Hey there Technical, I noticed that you tried to add a new template and modify the rules to reflect the usage of this template. Pursuant to the rule

"Work in progress pages must be created in the author's userspace, and preferably an admin should be asked before merging into the greater Wiki. All WIP pages made outside the userspace will be moved into the author's space."

I have moved the template into your userspace. In the future, please ask before creating a template to be used, and ask before modifying the wiki rules. Ordinarily, most proposed templates go through, but this one in particular has no immediate use. In the event of this wiki needing to index a quote with profanity, your template will be merged into the greater wiki. The administration team shies away from creating templates with no immediate use. Thanks for your understanding, --Gangsir (talk) - Admin 16:15, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Official Warning for creation of unnecessary templates

Hello there Technical_13,

I'm Gangsir, head admin of the Factorio wiki. You have already encountered Bilka, another admin of the administration team. We have noticed your repeated creation of templates that hold dubious use. The Official Factorio Wiki's policy dictates that all templates created must have an immediate, significant use, and all templates created must also be proposed in the author's userspace and seek approval from an admin before merging into the main namespace. You have failed to do so repeatedly, and have reversed a slight correction from an admin with your Censor and Button templates. So far, you have violated the following rules:

• Do not edit-war. If a user overwrites your change and you disagree, do not edit the page back and forth, discuss it on the talk page of the page in question.

• Work in progress pages must be created in the author's userspace, and preferably an admin should be asked before merging into the greater Wiki. All WIP pages made outside the userspace will be moved into the author's space.

• Templates are to be used for formatting/common text on many pages. Do not create templates for only a few pages, except for special circumstances.

This is your official warning. Cease creating templates without first seeking approval from an admin, and accept when you are corrected by an admin. Failure to do so will result in a temporary ban. Thanks, and happy editing. --Gangsir (talk) - Admin 16:01, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
