Bug Moderation
Hi, thanks for helping moderate bugs! Two things you should know:
- As stated in the instructions, the [?] tag can not be used to replace another bug tag. It's an extra tag for use if you or others can't reproduce the bug in question and want to notify others that this bug needs further vetting. Add it after the normal [X] tag.
- Don't move bug reports to the Fixed/Skipped sections unless they have an [F] or [S] tag in front of them. Mojang staff are the only members that can call a bug "skipped"

- Thanks for your hints.
- I intended to tag the bugs as {{bl}}{{bl|?}} but replaced by mistake the {{bl}} just by {{bl|?}}
- The second point is clear after re-reading the instructions ;-) -- Kumasasa 14:16, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- No problem! A lot of the concepts for moderation are really subtle. For example, [?] is strictly used for reports that are of potential valid bugs that another user couldn't reproduce. It is not for flagging a bug as "not a bug". Instead you should just mention that it isn't a bug and should be removed. It's confusing a lot of people... --Mattrition 10:29, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
- Well, yes. Re-re-reading the instructions helped a lot... What about introducing a new flag {{bl|r}} = [R] to ease the editing and reduce the confusion ?

Oh, it's ok. You can delete the other one of the same bug. Also, why don't we make the "Not a bug, Candidate for removal" the color red? [R] It just looks a bit more of a "Candidate For Deletion."

Ping re "improved"
Please go ahead and revert my edit or otherwise; I see I was misinformed about the situation. Full reply. —kpreid 21:50, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Dinnerbone
Just passing though - um, are you sure you've reverted the correct parts of the Dinnerbone article? The current version, while quite complimentary to him (in a surreal way) doesn't sound very encyclopaedic. :-) --82.69.54.207 19:57, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
- Well, the surreal part was added by his co-worker User:MarcWatson: History. --Kumasasa 22:03, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Note from Tkain47
I got a new account, Tkain61. Just to say because we talked earlier. --Tkain47 15:38, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
