You can simply substitute {{PAGENAMEEE}} or add {{urlencode:{{PAGENAME}}}} in its place in the template. (In fact, this would likely be less taxing on the servers and thus preferable.) There's really no need to copy the template to your userpage. AmiDaniel (talk) 04:18, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- the problem is
{{urlencode:{{PAGENAME}}}} on it's own breaks template functionality, and {{subst:PAGENAMEEE}} would just yeild the name of the template, and would cease function as a variable--AOL user 04:24, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- nevermind, I thought I tried that already, must have been a typo that broke the template, nevermind then--AOL user 04:25, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
AN/I
[edit]Hey, noticed your post on AN/I about {{auto}}. While I think it's pretty cool, please remember that AN/I is for reporting incidents that require administrative intervention. In the future, you might want to post these announcements to the normal administrator's noticeboard. Keep up the good work. Isopropyl 00:24, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Testing of templates should probably be done in the sandbox before being used on a user's page, such as Wiki-star. If you've been testing elsewhere please disregard this suggestion. Isopropyl 17:57, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- sorry, but since the sandbox hasn't actually triggered any autoblocks, I needed at least one field test to know if it was working or not, which it is--AOL user 17:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- On second thought, I see what you mean--AOL user 18:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Blockeduser
[edit]Hi. Thanks for your tagging efforts, but please don't tag users or IPs that have been blocked for less than 72 hours. Thanks TigerShark 23:01, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- ah, nevermind, I was setting my threshold too low, I was tagging blocks of 24 (+) hours --AOL user 23:02, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
</noinclude> tag
[edit]Thanks. I forgot to check my edits for this closing tag at Template:Indefblockeduser. -- ADNghiem501 23:24, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sure thing--AOL user 23:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Please delete the following article. This article was initially an office joke that got out of hand. This has jeopardized some careers [snipped for length] --68.106.55.227 02:38, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
- um, I can't delete articles, I'm not a sysops, I have no powers what so ever, I assume you're 68.110.110.155 (talk · contribs), in which case what I was trying to say is that you should contact someone who can delete articles, that is not me, also you can sign your name by typing ~~~~--AOL user 14:51, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for pointing that out. I've cleared a couple. Sorry for any inconvenience. -Will Beback 18:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
