i'm on my phone at the moment, and since wiki's wap options suck i'll ask this here. Please please PLEASE tell me this isn't more dumb 'fallout' from ryulongs lists is it? And if it is, don't we all have better things to do then moan about someone making their otrs work easier?
I haven't been around the wiki for the last few days, so I can assure you that when I say that I would like to see a good discussion on this practice of admins maintaining their own salt lists, I say that entirely in the abstract. I have noticed such lists appearing every now and then ever since cascading protection was first introduced and I think it would be a good idea to work out some guidelines for the practice.
I for one don't see any advantages in maintaining personal lists outside of the main protected titles lists, and can see several disadvantages, including increased difficulty of maintenance and the increased risk (not saying that it's been realised, but it's still a risk) of titles being salted inappropriately.
