Background: Over on en, the userboxen wars have started up again. Some undergrad calling himself User:Cyde, with a punny tag Cyde Weys, cajoled his way into admin status by promising to stop his disruptive activity there, and nearly the first edit of his first hour as admin began deleting a userbox. He'd recently speedied others such as "Template:User infidel", and been rebuffed after a week of deletion review. The past couple of days he's been edit warring on "Template:User Christian", making it a page long with a sideways cross, then a spinning cross, and that really stoked the flames. Because he lied about his intent (to gain privileges), and has been so disruptive, he probably should be desysopped, but the process for that seems to be rare and undocumented. I'd skipped the userbox wars the previous time around because at about the same time, a couple of folks started turning all abbreviation pages (encyclopedic) into disambiguation pages (explicitly not encyclopedic), deleting/redirecting the categories and templates without any prior discussion. Don't know what it is about the winter holiday break giving a few folks too much time on their hands. (heavy sigh) Technical: Anyway, over at Wikipedia:Categories for Deletion, today folks are proposing making a clean demarck between user space categories and "encyclopedic" categories. Seems reasonable to me. Dunno whether it will make some folks happier, but is worth a try. Surely it's just a tag of some kind, but categories require some software support. Is it possible to add a second group of category space labeled "Wikipedian:"? For example, "Wikipedian:Politicians" instead of the current * "Category:Wikipedian politicians", previously known as * "Category:Wikipedians who have run for public office" Pointers to code would be appreciated.
