Further Discussion
http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Inferno_Pendragon/Categories

The following is a blog I created and would like as many people as possible to read and discuss on, I think this is something the community needs to talk on now and is no longer a simple "admins only" solution Inferno Pendragon 20:49, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

Creation of New Categories
since people aren't listening to rules (what a surprise) I'm writing to admins to say this, any user who makes a new category is to be blocked for a week - they can complain all they want but the rules are right there in community corner, they refuse to read then it is their own fault. this will now be a wiki-wide rule that admins should enforce.

Re:HELP!!
Hey Balthus, long time no see indeed. I have more or less given up on this place for a while, seeing as I've been forced to spend quite a bit of time in hospital beds, have colleges and stuff to attend and am also trying to keep my professional dancing career going. Another reason for me to take a semi-temporary leave was the fact that no matter how much I tried to change, I continuously hit a point where someone blocked my proposals - be it admin or regular users.

I think the only way to change anything around here is by writing a clear Manual of Style, a clear image policy and a clear categorization policy. And yeah - it will take the fun out of the wiki for many people who just come here to quickly create a random villain page. But they will just have to learn that there are rules (and enforcers of those rules) on wikis too. I think the main problem is not the fact that we want rules, but the fact that people are not used to them because we hardly had any before. I hope that helps, if only a little.

RULES
enforce the rules and ignore those who claim you are a "tyrant" - these people are not wanting to obey our rules and thus are not positive contributors, this shows how childish they are in the end and I for one will not let our wiki be overrun by pseudo-anarchists who believe they can do whatever the hell they want: you are an admin, you don't have the right to abuse power but you have the right to enforce rules - if users complain remind them this wiki has rules and if they do not wish to obey them they have no right to edit, being part of this community is a privilege - not a right.

Too many people want things their way and ignore others, continue to get rid of categories and BAN ANYONE who recreates them - this will get it through their skulls that they can't bully admins into doing what they demand.

Users need to respect admins, this can only be done when they realize they aren't in charge - we'll treat them with respect, if they can not show basic respect back.. block them Queen Misery (talk) 13:08, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

Block Character What Villains and Voohandoll
Character What Villains has been recreating the Unpowered Villains category which was unwanted and he also created the Cute Villains category which is an opinion-based category. Please stop him from doing this. You have warned him by recreating deleted categories, but he did not listen to you. Dan Vs. Rocks! 12:44, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Character What Villains and Voohandoll...they keep reviving deleted categories and creating new ones. They ignore whoever tells them not to do so and just do what they want aware of the fact that they can not. Even though new categories are forbidden. RandomDudeDude (talk) 13:32, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Also, you have been creating a category too, RandomDudeDude. It's called "Formerly Deceased Villains". Dan Vs. Rocks! 13:41, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

That's not true. I don't know why the Wiki Activity says that. But the category "Formerly Deceased Villains" along with "Cute Villains" and "unpowered Villains" are the reasons why am I writing here. The first was created by Voohandoll. I added the template for deletion. He ignored me and removed my template. I added the template again.RandomDudeDude (talk) 13:46, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Well technically, it IS true that you have created the Formerly Deceased Villains category. Voohandoll did not create the category, you did. Dan Vs. Rocks! 15:24, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

No. I would never create such a useless category. Before my edit at the page. The activity said that Voohandoll  created the category. After my edit, for some reason the activity said ita was ME. No, I will not take the blame for something I didn't while I actually wanted the new category to be deleted.RandomDudeDude (talk) 16:08, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

That's a lie. You created the category. Take a look at the history and find out. Dan Vs. Rocks! 16:10, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Oh yes, totally a lie. I created the new category at 13:19 with "deletioncandidate" at the same time, then I proceeded to report myself...because logic.

Here. Look at the history of these pages http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Formerly_Deceased_Villains?diff=500545&oldid=500542 and http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Omega_Red?diff=prev&oldid=500541. Voohandoll added the category at 13:18, before the existence of the latter, which I'm supposed to have created it at 13:19 (with deletioncandidate at the same time). RandomDudeDude (talk) 17:23, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Would you two kindly stop using my talkpage for bickering??

I know my way around categories enough to know eactly what happened. You see when you add the name of a category that has yet to be created in one article's list, which happens very often with careless category adders, it creates what I called a "void" category: a page with the list of all articles in which it was added and a "Create" button. It seems quite obvious that "Formerly Deceased Villains" existed under that state, as a category page will not have any History or Talk page before some text is written it it, be it a Template. A such, the wiki considered that RandomDude created it when he added the "DeletionCandidate" to the already existing"void" page. As such Random Dude cannot be blamed.

This being said, I know that it is my job to ban problem users and I am grateful for users to warn me. But I would appreciate it to be a simple warning, and certaninly not a "Ban X" message that sounds like an order and is highly displeasing to read. A "Please can you ban X" at the very outside would be quite appreciated. I will see what need to be done about those two users, but I would like to remind you that I am NOT to be ordered around under any circumstance. I know full well that you did not meant it that way please be more formal in your message. Balthus Dire (talk) 23:40, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Ok thanks. Yeah, I was about to change the original title since it sounded like some obnoxious authoritarian order, sorry.RandomDudeDude (talk) 00:12, July 27, 2013 (UTC)
