Collab: Scrubbing the wiki of the PartOfPipe template

[Glowsquid]

PartOfPipe is a template users part of a pipeproject would put on the talkpage of any images or articles related to a pipeproject. That's pretty much it. It never meant anything and with the wiki pipeproject scrapped, they might confuse some users into thinking the system is still active, so might as well get rid of them.

A list of the pages it's on can be found here.

Considering how simple removing them are, you don't need to post anything in this thread to contribute. However, it would be a good idea to post from which end of the list you're starting from and which namespace (Talk, file talk or both) you are doing to prevent annoying edit-conflicts.

 

[Nathan Fielder]

I'll, uh, start from the top with just talk pages.

EDIT: or okay then shoey maybe not

 

[Vinnie927]

I'm starting with File Talk.

 

[Anton]

I'm taking a random chunk in the middle:

Talk:Magic's Magic (transclusion) ‎ (← links)
to
Talk:Flipper (transclusion) ‎ (← links)

 

[Time Turner]

I'll take the second 500, starting from Doom Dancer Music Box.

 

[Nabber]

Just deleting? I'll start from the bottom up.

 

[User4042]

Some people should stop blanking and use the {{delete}} (Template:Delete) template. It makes some people's lives much easier.

 

[Time Turner]

So far all I've seen are Mario cartoon and Smash Bros. PipeProjects. Are there others?

 

[Vinnie927]

I've stopped doing it because I don't want to clog up recent changes too much.

 

[User4042]

So far all I've seen are Mario cartoon and Smash Bros. PipeProjects. Are there others?

Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros. Levels are the only other ones I remember.

Yaaaaay

 

[Nabber]

And we're down to one page!

 

[Time Turner]

I've already done 300 edits.

 

[Smashley]

I'll start helping out. I'll start from the first thing on the list (File:MKDS art small.jpg).

wait htjnfv,mnrgt

i'll try to come back and help but now I have to do something. hopefully I'll come back in time to help a little.

EDIT: Ok i can help now. I'll be doing this random bit from between Talk:Doc Freud to Talk:Bike.

 

[Time Turner]

So what do we do with the pages like PipeProject:Super Smash Bros.?

 

[Glowsquid]

Leave them alone. The admins are discussing what to do with them.

 

[Bop1996]

Yeah, looks like this is done. Unfortunately, there is no combination of RC filters that filters out most of them, so it's kinda hard to sort through them to see if anything slipped under the radar. (600 pages to delete, wow)

 

[Time Turner]

The easiest way would probably be to go look in the contributions of everyone that helped out, use Ctrl + F, and search "Blanked", as "Blanked the page" is what appears when all the content of a page is removed.

 

[Bop1996]

No, I said filter out, as in I can't get rid of them with filters since they aren't patrolled or minor. Kinda beating a dead horse now, tho.

 

[Nathan Fielder]

Well, I'd like to say, if we managed to collaborate like this and remove all those templates from, like, over 500 pages in just 2 hours, then this is definitely a good sign of things to come. Well done, guys! :D

 

[Glowsquid]

Yeah, looks like this is done

I have to say, I am more than pleasantly surprised about how smoothly this went. Thanks to everyone who helped with the project. If this is representative of things to come, I'll be one happy cephalopod alright.

Anyway, as both the removal and the deleting are done, I'm sending this thread to the archive.
