Editing others' talk posts and userpages
Hello, Flashfight. It's not our practice to edit others' talk page comments and userpages casually, even to eliminate redlinks. Thanks, and talk atcha later. Heimstern Läufer

- Yes, sometimes we use redlinks as placeholders or for other reasons, and in those cases they shouldn't be removed. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with fixing ones that were made in error. For example, if you want to fix Special:Recent Changes (shouldn't have a space) and Special:contibutions/Orange Star (should have an -r-), then go for it. — It's dot com 00:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Relation
Flashlight,what was that for?! Homestar and Homsar were seen at Bubs' Concession Stand.Katonator3000 06:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- But that has nothing to do with their relationship. I personally am seen standing next to possibly dozens of people on the train every day. And likewise that is not any indication of our relationship. — Flashfight 06:23, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, I quite agree with Flashfight here. Characters appearing together is not indicative of a relationship. This is something I've been saying privately for a while, as I could not find an appropriate place to bring it up. Several other relationship articles suffer from this as well (for example, Marzipan and Homestar talking together in helium. So they're having a conversation. I don't think that's really a relationship reference). And the looking old one even less: they just happen to be waiting in line together. In short, interaction does not necessarily make a relationship. --DorianGray 06:24, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree. Having been a nerd all my life, I know that any girl who talks to me for more than 5 seconds is secretly in love with me, hence it is a reference. But seriously, naw, that's stupid, and one of these days i intend to purge those pages of anything but actual relationship indicators. — Defender1031*Talk 14:43, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Wouldn't it be easier just to purge all these relationship articles from our beloved wiki? Or at least most of them? — Flashfight 17:12, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- No. — Defender1031*Talk 19:18, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
