Someone's going through and removing the all the templates from their pages.

Is there something I'm missing?

Edit; It seems they're only removing most of my revision templates. :P

Ugh, please talk to people before messing up almost every wiki page..

  • Pages about compromised services should not be simply deleted.
  • Pages like Bitcoin Can (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Can) that just cover purpose, facts, etc are not "written like an advertisement"
  • The "wrongperson" template erroneously infers that the Bitcoin Wiki is an encyclopedia, which it is not
  • Tagging pages just because you subjectively feel they could be rewritten better is not helpful.
  • The Bitcoin Wiki is a host to much technical documentation. It is not an error and should not be tagged that pages are technical.
  • How-to content is normal and expected on the Bitcoin Wiki
  • Everything can always use improvement. Adding a "please cleanup" tag just makes it worse (especially when many of these pages you're tagging are just fine as-is).
  • Some pages (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Alerts_mailing_list) correctly use "you" and "we" pronouns, and should not be tagged.
  • The Bitcoin Wiki is again, not an encyclopedia, and does not have notability requirements.

Edit: But the effort is of course still appreciated!

I'll make some changes. This is all in good faith, and I'll stop applying the tags I create.

Might I suggest stopping by on IRC to discuss things (http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23bitcoin-wiki)? :)
