Unused and user-unfriendly welcoming template redirect The Banner talk 22:33, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 *  Keep  - Like cop, hat, pot, IC and Nf (which have all been kept), this is simply shorthand for "Do not bite this user". "Dnbtu" is not used for any other function on Wikipedia.  We also have  (not about temporary workers),  (not about chains, golf courses, an American singer, etc),  (not about drug, computer or telecommunication system users),  (not about administrators),  (not about illness),  (not about spinning tops or clothing),  (not about buttocks or the seabed),  (not about architecture),  (not about publications,  (not about cleaning),  (not about fiction),  (not about copyediting),  (not about literature, linguistics or music),  (not about international relations), and many others I can't think of off the top of my head. --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:19, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the attribution. Thryduulf (talk) 19:42, 27 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The classic reply of a user who prefers to create an user-unfriendly welcoming template because typing the full 18 letters is too difficult and tiresome. Unfortunately, the new user now gets a template hammered on his/her page the does not give a clue about its meaning. Technically it maybe correct, but from the viewpoint of user-friendliness it is a nightmare. The Banner talk 12:46, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 *  Reply  - Redirects are cheap, and the entire coding of a wikipedia page can be tedious to sift through anyway. dnbtu combined with Welcome to Wikipedia shows lines and lines of text with which even a seasoned computer programmer may have difficulty. --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:52, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I know that argument, as you have used that before. But this is also about Wikipedia being user-friendly. Your redirect fails on that point, damaging the positive work of the Teahouse. The Banner talk 17:02, 29 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete as confusing shorthand. Maybe a more appropriate shortcut would be Template:Bite (not about biting), or else why didn't you also create Template:Tianu? -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 04:48, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 *  Reply  - Under which of the 10 criteria of WP:R does this fall?
 * Also, when will Template:Rozz Williams be relisted or otherwise dispositioned? --Jax 0677 (talk) 13:02, 30 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Weak delete Essentially harmless, but too novel a search term to be useful. --BDD (talk) 16:19, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was Speedy Delete (R3: Recently created, implausible redirect) by User:Amatulic Lenticel  ( talk ) 02:09, 29 April 2013 (UTC)


 * → Alyssa Anjelica James (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

Redirect left after a move but it's unclear why the page was moved to the title "Alyssa (stand-up comic)" in the first place since I can find no reference whatsoever that she ever was a stand-up comic. Keeping the redirect is confusing. Pichpich (talk) 19:08, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

 * → Help:Files (links to redirect • [ history] • )     [ Closure: [ keep]/[ delete] ]

I created a dab page for the many pages relating to files but it was changes back to a redirest to Help:Files. ON the principle of least surprise it should be a dab page since an editor Files may want any of the possible pages that I had listed in the dab page. Note that there was a discussion about the revert at Wikipedia talk:File namespace -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:38, 17 April 2013 (UTC) 
 * Note I've left messages advertising this discussion at Wikipedia talk:File namespace and Help talk:Files. Thryduulf (talk) 18:33, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Thryduulf (talk) 17:46, 26 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Your dab page was copied to Help:Files, and I copied the lead sentence. I'm not sure this really qualifies as a disambiguation, as all the topics are related and could potentially be merged. Generally we disambiguate topics that would never possibly be merged. Wbm1058 (talk) 02:02, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
