Obstructing consensus at XfDs
[edit]Really, can you please cut this out: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6? It's quite disruptive. If I wanted to be a wikilawyer, I could argue that {{annual readership}} has no display and thus reverting my edit is cosmetic; that violates your restrictions. Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:27, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- Leave my user page alone, please. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 21:48, 30 December 2025 (UTC).
- I'm happy with your latest edits; as long as you are not populating error pages like Special:WantedTemplates or Special:WantedCategories. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:50, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- Both the template and the categories are, indeed, wanted. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 21:52, 30 December 2025 (UTC).

- What makes the category deletions particularly obnoxious is that they treat dead or retired Wikipedians as non-Wikipedians. There was a compromise method of dealing with these types of categories in the past, but I can't find where it's documented at the moment. It looks pretty much as if some editors just want to delete as many categories, templates and redirects as they can. The fact that they enjoy doing this does not make it right. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 22:58, 30 December 2025 (UTC).
- Rich, I actually agree with you that policing userspace categories is a waste of time but consider whether it's the hill you want to die on. It seems a particularly trivial thing to get blocked over, and I know you have more to contribute to the encyclopaedia. No reader will ever care about an argument over some categories on a user page (I doubt most readers know what categories or user pages are). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:29, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- Nobody is dying on any hill. I'm too busy trying to upload images of defibrillators to Commons. But thanks. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 23:55, 30 December 2025 (UTC).
