Talk:Identification noticeboard

Layout

Just a note: this and this diff prove together that fi:Käyttäjä:Agony and fi:Käyttäjä:Harriv have identified themselves to the Wikimedia Foundation, since Cary Bass has confirmed this. –Ejs-80 19:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC) There is no need to have them listed here anymore. –Ejs-80 11:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Someone should fix this page, as two sections overlap. I would do it myself, but I have no idea how to. Thanks, Genius101 20:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Uh, I don't see it. What 2 sections? --FiliP × 20:56, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

There is a {{steward}} template on the far right of the page that appears to be overlapping the header at the top, as well as other sections. It was just added by Pathoschild earlier today. Risker 21:43, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't overlap any text and that's what matters. It hovers/floats on the right, thus overlapping with the frame of that ASCII art figure, which is not really important. --FiliP × 21:48, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

In my screen it overlaps the text, probably because it is not very big. --SMP (talk page) 13:24, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Header ASCII art

{{editprotected}} I like it, but it isn't centred on any monitor except the one it was written on, and runs off the edge of my screen. Can an admin please replace it with the code below (including the pre tags)?

Nevermind - can you figure out why the links don't work? Thanks.  — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 16:45, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Oops, fixed. Please copy everything including the div tags. Happy‑melon 17:01, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

HaeB is missing now because of template mistake

{{editprotected}} There's a mistake in this chapter: Identification noticeboard#H. Since February 5th and this edit, User:HaeB isn't anymore on the page as User:Hoch auf einem Baum and neither as HaeB. There's just missing a "/" in the template, can anyone add that, please? Thanks. --Geitost ^diskusjon 13:51, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for informing us. I've fixed that mistake. Barras ^talk 13:53, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Users authorized to add to the identification noticeboard

Given that Mr. Bass is leaving to pursue other opportunities, who is the staffer responsible for updating this page after this month, or is that data not yet announced? Kylu 19:43, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Cary leaves as volunteer coordinator? I think we'll get the information about the new one doing his job via the foundation-l or something. -Barras 20:06, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

The responsibility for this noticeboard hasn't yet been announced... Cary did a crazy wide variety of things, of course, so it's taking a bit to figure out who owns what part of them. Philippe (WMF) 00:35, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Also, I'm on the staff of the Foundation until December 31. You should feel secure knowing that we'll be able to figure this out in plenty of time. Bastique ^{☎ call me!} 03:38, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

*whew* - I really don't envy whoever ends up leading the team that does your job. ;) Kylu 03:46, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Additions

Given the big warning at the top it's probably better to ask first. I think it would be appropriate to add confirmation diffs for fi.wiki users Agony and Harriv to the list. This noticeboard did not yet exist at the time, but the users have provided identification and should therefore be on the list. Jafeluv 12:24, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

AFAIK, they'll need to resend their identifications in if it's not on the list. Cbrown1023 talk 15:55, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

That's a fair comment Casey, however if you look at those 2 diffs and this diff, this one (I think), [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] etc you can see that it seems that diffs were the way users were previously confirmed. Having said that, if we want to use the template on the Identification page and be 100% sure that the confirmation wasn't for something else, then we'd need an edit from Philippe or others on the Identification noticeboard. The Helpful One 21:18, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

It's fine with me if you add those two diffs diffs, Jafeluv. Thanks for checking. Philippe (WMF) 00:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Okay, added now. Thanks! Jafeluv 15:16, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

More should be protected

Hello,

The main page is protected, but not the templates, like Identification noticeboard/header. They should be in order to be consistent.

Regards,

Cantons-de-l'Est 16:36, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Agreed, thanks for letting us know - fully protected. :-) The Helpful One 16:17, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Multiple times identified?

I noticed this identification, which is the same user as this identification (the account is globally renamed). And what about this one? That account is renamed as well, together with more probably. Any suggestions how to solve this? Remove the previous ones or just change the name? Input is appreciated. Kind regards, Trijnstel 20:52, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

As far as I am aware, this is intentionally done by Philippe, I'll ask him to comment. The Helpful One 16:20, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Intentionally done. :) Philippe (WMF) 00:58, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
