I've noticed Shane has been creating a number of new articles recently using the {{tl|requested}} template. I personally think that unless we're going to had at least a brief description - that is, a {{tl|stub}}, it's better to leave such articles empty, so that the red links alert other browsers to the need for such articles. A casual browser seeing a yellow link to one of these new pages would probably never follow that link to see that it's essentially empty, nor realize that their contribution could be valuable. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 00:22, 17 May 2006 (CDT) | I've noticed Shane has been creating a number of new articles recently using the {{tl|requested}} template.

:'''[[Battlestar Wiki:Tasks]]''' would be listing the "Requested" section. I just need to get back on the bot code so it works and then get joe to set it up so it runs every few hours to keep the Open task page updates. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 20:38, 6 June 2006 (CDT) | :'''[[Battlestar Wiki:Tasks]]''' would be listing the "Requested" section.

Requested Template
I've noticed Shane has been creating a number of new articles recently using the {{requested}} template. I personally think that unless we're going to had at least a brief description - that is, a {{stub}}, it's better to leave such articles empty, so that the red links alert other browsers to the need for such articles. A casual browser seeing a yellow link to one of these new pages would probably never follow that link to see that it's essentially empty, nor realize that their contribution could be valuable. --Peter Farago 00:22, 17 May 2006 (CDT)

- I'm not sure how this addresses my point about red links being a useful cue. --Peter Farago 20:46, 6 June 2006 (CDT)
