Help talk:Blocking users

Don't leave red links lying around!
Per the deletion rationale maybe "nobody cares" (although I doubt it, since somebody created the link) but if that's true it's incumbent on the deleting admin to remove the incoming links, especially from the Help namespace. One red link here becomes thousands if this is propogated to every Mediawiki installation in the world.

For now I am assuming that somebody does care and listing this is a needed page. --kingboyk 17:20, 15 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah we have been leaving red links lying around in the Help:Contents, kind of as prompt to create missing content, but we've reached the point now where it's actually useful to copy the help pages we have so far. As such, we should start avoiding red links i.e. ensure that the Help pages are a consistent self contained set which are "complete" as far they go, at any given time... either that or create a downloadable "release" bundle, at times when all red links are eliminated. -- Harry Wood 11:09, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
