Incorrect use of template substitution
This article page had become out of date due the improper use of template substitution. Therefore I have edited the page to remove all template substitution. If you compare the prior versions of this page that used template substitution to the current version (do not use "diff" for the comparison) you will find that several of the displayed templates no longer represented the current version of the template that would be displayed when using template substitution on user pages. When templates are displayed on policy pages they should NEVER be substituted. They need to display the current version of the template, not some older unknown version that may or may not be the same as the current version. Archive (dated) copies of policy pages should use substitution, as they are an attempt to record what was at a particular point in time. Current policy pages should display current templates which cannot be reliably done using substitution. Dbiel (Talk) 01:26, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Advice on a monitoring tool?
I've been trying my hand at patrolling for a few weeks. It's pretty fast paced. I am using popups and Twinkle, but I think I need to add a monitoring tool to speed up the identification process. Can anyone recommend which one of the monitoring tools would work best with popups and TW? I'm on a WinXP box using Firefox, and it isn't the fastest computer around. TIA. - Crockspot 15:19, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I think I filled the void. Vandal Fighter seems to be the thing I needed. - Crockspot 02:25, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Archive
I've archived old discussions from 2004 to 2006. Hopefully that'll make this page a little easier to follow! As always, please do not edit the archives. If you want to continue a topic found there, create a new topic on the main Talk page instead. -- Kesh 03:03, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
