Template talk:User wikipedia/Reviewer

Change of logo

I updated the user box to make use of the logo that is found on the Polish WP pl:Szablon:User redaktor, Polish WikiSource wikisource:pl:Szablon:User redaktor, and German WP de:User:✓/Vorlagen/Sichter user boxes for their comparable "Editor" right. It may go by a different name here but it is essentially the same thing and for continuity it seemed appropriate to use it rather than a patroller logo. delirious & lost ☯ ^{~talk to her~} 05:46, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Just so you don't feel ignored, I really like the "eye" logo. VernoWhitney (talk) 12:43, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Category

There should also be a Category:Wikipedia_reviewers for less intrusive labeling on user page.--Sum (talk) 21:32, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

 Done Not that i don't agree with you but the first thing that came to mind when i saw that was http://www.wikipediareview.com/ :P Still, category created and added to user box. delirious & lost ☯ ^{~talk to her~} 23:36, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, Delirious. PS. What a great site, wikipedia needs a watchdog so much..--Sum (talk) 10:17, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Verify?

Is that link working for others? Also, how can someone abuse lying about being a reviewer? (that didn't come out right, but you get me) Beam 19:41, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

The link is working. It has {{BASEPAGENAME}} so if you check it on the template itself it returns User:User wikipedia88 which is the next alphabetical name after the nonexistant User:User wikipedia. If you check any of the transclusions Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:User wikipedia/Reviewer you will see it working. The verify link is just something some people like. It is styled after the other user rights user boxes. It is more practical for admin, OS, CU, account creator, and bureaucrat rights since those are less common and more sought out when needed than reviewers would be. delirious and lost ☯ 11:14, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you and great job. Can you make one without the verify link, it makes me feel pretentious to display a box with it? Beam 16:33, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

To make a user box the is only lacking the verify link would most likely see it end up being nominated for deletion as a duplicate. You could just write it into your page.

{{userbox | border-c = #999 | id = [[File:Wikipedia Reviewer.svg|43px]] | id-c = #DDD | info = This user has [[Wikipedia:Reviewing|'''reviewer''']] rights on the [[English Wikipedia]]. | info-c = #EEE | usercategory = Wikipedia reviewers }}

I also would not know what name to use for a second user box except for /reviewer and that would probably turn into a redirected page. If you really want no verify link then the safest way to do that is to write the user box into your page directly instead of via transclusion. That is what i do on my page. It can be tedious to set up if you have a lot of them but it also allows you to control the size so there are no larger ones that displace everything else or smaller than normal ones that the others wrap around awkwardly. delirious and lost ☯ 18:17, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

You could also copy it to a subpage of your userspace where it is unlikely to be deleted, and modify it there. Anomie⚔ 22:04, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Template

Should the userbox say "This user has reviewer rights on the English Wikipedia" or what the topicon says "Despite the removal of pending changes, this user still has reviewer rights on the English Wikipedia". If the topicon says it if you hover over it, not click it, then the userbox ought to as well.--The wikifyer's corner 18:40, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Leave out the snarky comment, please. Anomie⚔ 13:23, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Since the change was reverted here I reverted it on the topicon too so that they would match... before you posted here. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:31, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

"The Request for Comment, on the use of pending changes protection in the interim, has ended. In accordance with consensus it was removed from all articles" - a quote from the template heading the Pending Changes page; if pending changes is dormant I see no reason why the template shouldn't say "Despite the removal of pending changes, this user still has reviewer rights on the English Wikipedia" (hence why I changed it in the first place).
