User:M.mendel/Controversy Guide

From GuildWiki

Sometimes you just need some controversy and wikidrama, but there just isn't any available. Here are some suggestions on how to make that happen. [To do: provide links to examples, extend lists]

Contents 1 change the operation paradigm 2 Admin promotion 3 borderline edit actions 4 policy disputes 5 user page design 6 inflammatory topics

[edit] change the operation paradigm

• sell the wiki [1]
• remove a major section of content [2]
• add more advertisements [3]

[edit] Admin promotion

• suggest an obviously unsuited admin for promotion, preferably one whose RfA has failed before
• promote an admin who gets into bitter fights with other editors
• promote an admin who has no community support
• promote an admin that one of the bureaucrats opposes [4][5]

[edit] borderline edit actions

• move a page to a totally different topic, state a reason that sounds sane
• delete / undelete a page that has a 1% chance of being an article and not a hoax, citing GW:AGF [6]

[edit] policy disputes

• call out active user talk pages for talk page spam [7]
• annoy the RC patrol with requests to honor GW:1RV [8][9][10]
• unblocking yourself [11]
• ban someone while banned yourself [12]

[edit] user page design

• post fake pictures
• post revealing pictures
• post a gallery of Boobies

[edit] inflammatory topics

• discuss an ArenaNet employee's sexual preferences based on information that later turned out to be wrong
• claim the death of the wiki [13]
