Template talk:Userfy

This template
I don't like this templates use much. It is used on obvious vanity pages, by IP users, which subsequently go un-noticed for weeks. I don't think its ready for TfD, but its use should be sparingly. Hedley 1 July 2005 20:01 (UTC)
 * The template should not be used for IP's unless they are identifiable and can be assigned user pages. See Userfication for development of a policy to deal with these situations. bd2412  T 17:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Undo the redirect?
I used to find this template useful. Would anybody mind if I undo the redirect? (The reason given by Radiant! upon redirecting was a brief "standardize," which I (literally) don't understand.) Pan Dan 20:07, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. - crz crztalk 00:31, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * What I meant was making templates that have the same function look alike. I'm sure this template is useful, but it's also (imho) kind of redundant. ( Radiant ) 10:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation. I think the userfy tag is useful to gently nudge autobiographers into userfying it themselves, where the notability tag only portends outright deletion.  Pan Dan 15:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * That may be its intent, but are you sure it actually does that? It looks an awful lot like a deletion tag, and mentions the word five times. I think a better bet than using this tag would be to simply do the move and explain on the user's talk page why you did that. ( Radiant ) 15:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * You could be right that it doesn't work at nudging self-userfication, I really don't have enough experience to know. If you're right about that, I wouldn't object to re-redirecting the tag, or going to TFD as crz suggested was necessary in his edit summary.  Pan Dan 16:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Given that I don't actually want this template deleted, I don't quite see where TFD comes in. Generally, merging and redirecting are done through editor action, not via deletion debate. ( Radiant ) 16:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
