Template talk:User scheme

This is silly, it suggests that "me" am the only Schemer. &mdash;Ashley Y 07:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah, the limitations of two-valued logic. Perhaps the right answer is  RPTB1 17:22, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I've made it more sensible. &mdash;Ashley Y 05:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

It'd be neat to personalize this template to use the actual user-name, instead of "me". It seems like BASEPAGENAME would suffice for the user-name, since presumably this template only gets called from within User: pages. But to retain flexibility, we could have the template take the name as an argument whose default value would be BASEPAGENAME. It's an easy change; it only means modifying the template to change "me" to "" (and, adding any documentation?). If you're curious, I've tested out these options over on incubator.wikimedia.org []; from there you can try  as well as. A few questions: &mdash;not-just-yeti
 * 1) Should this be a change to the existing template, or should we make a whole new template?  (I vote, change the existing one.  It's a friendly upgrade.)
 * 2) Currently, "me" links to Category:Users_Scheme.  If we change it to be the user-name, the intuitive destination would be to their User page.  But, this would most commonly just be a self-link to the same page its on (which gets rendered as regular text in black).   Although it'd mostly be a useless link, I'm inclined to do that anyway, and perhaps change the lambda-image so that it links to the Category.
 * 3) If no objections, and nobody else makes these changes, then I will.  But how long I should wait, to see if anybody objects?
