HRWiki talk:STUFF

From Homestar Runner Wiki

When I attempt to add my name to a vote and click "show page", it brings me up to that toon's stuff page (ie STUFF/mile) rather than the original STUFF page with all the facts on it. Is this a glitch? Its a little troublesome to have to click back and then back again to get back to the STUFF page. -- Tony Stony 14:23, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's normal, because the only edits to the actual STUFF page are adding more subpages. There's a "back to STUFF index" link on every fact. --Jay (Gobble) 16:58, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

got it. thanks~ --Tony Stony 16:59, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Good Jorb

Much, MUCH better, guys. Great job. {gives round of applause} -- Joshua 18:38, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree. Well done It's Dot Com, Tom, Jay, and anyone else who was involved with this. This incarnation of stuff should really cut down on the flaming and the confusion of the old way. One question: what if the vote is a tie when two weeks is up? Do we go into sudden death? (exprobably not) Does decline win automatically? (would make sense to me) Accept?-- —Tony Stony ^{Talk | Edits} 19:04, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I also agree, it looks great! I think that if the two weeks are up and it's a tie, then it just stays up longer until the tie is broken. Homestar Coder 19:11, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I actually used it for real the first time today, and it is so easy to see at a glance how each fact is doyng. I mean doing. I'm really glad we got this done. — It's dot com 19:17, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

And now I have gotten to STUFF two new real facts using the new method—so simple, anyone could use it! — It's dot com 22:50, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It looks great! Much more easier, although it takes a little longer to add a new fun fact, it's still way better! And it's really easy to count the votes! Thank you to all that were involved in re-organising STUFF (Jay did the tedious work of launching STUFF, changing all the fun facts to the new templates and everything). «Rob» 05:49, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I just did the grunt work. I helped with a little of the formatting stuff, but most of the design (as far as I see it) was IDC's. --Jay (Gobble) 05:55, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I meant. I also like how you can now add individual STUFF'd fun facts to your watchlist, instead of watching the whole page.

Candidates for speedy verdicts

I propose the following guidelines for closing facts before the two-week time period is complete:

• After 4 days, a unanimous vote of at least 8
• After 1 week, a unanimous vote of any number
• After 1 week, a vote in which one side has at least 8 more votes than the other AND the ratio of votes is at least 3 to 1
  (for example: 9 to 1, 12 to 4, 15 to 5)

That's pretty close to the criteria that I use(d) to close STUFFs quickly. I have been known to close a STUFF that's 10-0 (or higher) after just a couple of days though. -- tomstiff 19:31, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I've never had a problem with items being closed that are just taking up space. I wrote these guidelines not too long ago in an attempt to codify our policy. — It's dot com 19:39, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Verdicts

For verdicts, we can either move the items to the talk pages (like we do now), or they could be moved to a different subpage, like HRWIKI:STUFF Archive/pagename, for example. If we use an archive subpage, we should put a reference link on the talk page with the fact in question and the verdict.
