Battlestar Wiki talk:Think Tank/Birthday in Quotes: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 01:54, 11 April 2020

Interesting concept. We would probably need a master list of birthdays though, probably under Battlestar Wiki:User Birthdays, and we should probably ad a birthday field to the user data template. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 12:51, 4 September 2006 (CDT)

Can be done. :) Didn't think of that... --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 13:18, 4 September 2006 (CDT)

Any further thoughts, concerns or issues before I move this to the votiing stage? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 02:13, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

Not really, would be useful to have some kind of birthdays page though or if you put it in your userpage in the usertemplate somehow a bot picks that up automaticly? --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 03:06, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

Other than making it a way for everyone to be grouped into Month categories. Or we can just do one big "events" calander like.. Wikipedia:September 15 in a much more smaller scale. --Shane ^{(T - C - E)} 04:40, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

Vote time?

Can we start a vote on this, or do we need to renew discussion on this proposal? -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 15:16, 25 September 2006 (CDT)

I'm going ahead and putting this to a vote. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate} 23:14, 28 September 2006 (CDT)

CalculatinAvatar - Neutral It's in the talk namespace, so it's not hurting anything as long as the quotes stay within Battlestar Galactica and, well, real. I just don't think such a thing needs an independent policy; anyone who cares about the quote for their birthday can just edit it. --CalculatinAvatar^(C-T) 06:28, 29 September 2006 (CDT)

Mercifull -
April Arcus - Oppose - But I would not object to a more discrete birthday announcement near the bottom of the main portal.
Spencerian - Oppose - I don't like the idea of mixing up the quotes area with non-BSG stuff. But, like Peter, I'd be very cool with a birthday list that displays on a section of the main page (users can add themselves in the list by option).
