message: Rather than induce cache reloads that would make no difference except server burdens and lessening the confusion of at most a handful of template users per month, i have not edited in the following revised text for the Usage section.  Would the next editor making a more substantial change (or someone who knows that cache has just been cleared by a reboot?) please include this in a future edit (or just do it if my caution is misplaced):

thread_title:  New version to substitute for the current instructions 

message: There's no point in including a link to page moves for anonymous IP addresses, as they aren't allowed to move pages at all. It is merely annoying, space-filling, and misleading. It'd be nice if it could be removed for anon IPs. --maru   (talk)  contribs 03:47, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion 

message: I hereby propose that this template be moved to .  Some users in otherwise good standing don't like to see the word "vandal" next to their username just because we want to link to stuff like their block log.  --Cyde Weys 21:49, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. New users get offended by this. If they're good-faith editors, that's bad. If they're not good-faith editors, it gets in the way of trying to talk them into being good-faith editors. But how do we get people to stop using  and switch over to  ?

replies: text: #REDIRECT Template:nn  for the technical part. Or only , then attempts to use  fail. Compromises between these extremes are probably a bad idea. -- Omniplex 06:06, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I support the re-naming (I like using this template quite liberally to get all the links (very useful), even if I don't want to call someone a vandal.  I think we should use the re-direct option, as this template is so widely used. Petros471 12:18, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Ack. I don't like this change, and while I understand the reasoning, it's really not necessary. Is there a reason to keep this? Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 06:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  TT tags around username 

message: The  template is still being used regularly; as an example, see the wiki code here. When we see the template used on recently-edited pages, should we replace it with ? Captainktainer * Talk 01:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  When we see the template still be used with the vandal syntax, should we replace it? 

message: I've just created a new version of  that allows administrators to hide vandalism from recent changes with one click instead of having to manually add "&bot=1" to the URL.
Enjoy! --Ixfd64 05:39, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
