This article is an official policy on Bulbapedia.
Its contents are strongly binding and can be considered law on Bulbapedia. |
Bulbapedia has a Usertag policy, which pertains in particular to their creation.
While it is important for any fansite to allow their users a place to express themselves and let others know more about them, the Bulbapedia staff feels that there must be a standard for usertag creation. In the past, we have cracked down on laziness templates as well as integrated groups of usertags into a single, multipurpose one, such as {{User Pet}}
and {{User Want}}
. To reduce the amount of maintenance that Bulbapedia administrators need to do in the Template:
namespace, we are now requiring that any and all new usertags are to either be created in the User:
namespace, under User:(your username)/(template name) or in the case of a tag that is only to be used on one page, that the {{User Template}}
template be used.
We have compiled a list of criteria usertags must meet before they will be moved to the Template:
namespace.
Criteria for a Usertag to be moved into the Template namespace
- The usertag must have at least five users using it.
- The usertag must be deemed useful enough to be in the
Template:
namespace by at least two administrators. - Note: If an administrator creates a usertag, it does not need to meet the above criteria; administrator creation implies immediate approval.
Once a usertag has met the following criteria and is brought to the attention of an administrator(s), it may be moved to the Template:
namespace.
Please note that creating usertags directly into the Template:
namespace will result in the tag being moved to the User:
namespace, and after multiple offenses, a short ban may occur.
