| '''Support, on one condition.''' I'd prefer it if the font was Arial like it is now, instead of that ugly Courier font.

| '''Conditionally support'''. Nuking is an important tag that should be available for newcommers to the wiki to use. I see no reason why the stub and cleanup tags should be available but not nuking.

| :'''I CACHINNATED MY FACE OFF'''. <s>Nuking is so redundant, it's unreal. It's basically speedy delete, except it doesn't put the nukeable articles in a category, and it doesn't have an icon on Recent Changes.</s> Nuke's only purpose is to put a smile on Semicolon's face, <s>and these hypothetical new users should learn how to type <nowiki>{{D}}</nowiki></s>. It is a joke system, and has no place in a serious template.

| ::Nuking was its own template, not a replacement or substitute for speedy delete; the purpose was to mock stupid posts on talk pages. --- <font face="American Typewriter">''[[User:ReiDemon|Rei]][[User_talk:ReiDemon|Demon]], Author Extraordinaire''</font>, 18:27, 20 October 2012 (EDT)

| ::Nuking is not a substitution for speedy delete. Nuking is only for circumstances when a page needs to be nuked, in which case it should be available for all users. I support Toomai's proposal mainly for aesthetic purposes, but the nuke tag (along with <nowiki>{{D}}</nowiki> and other useful functions) should be in there as well for all users to use.

| :::I'll admit, I had forgotten Nuked was used in such a way, but if anything, the fact that its purpose is to mock bad edits makes it even more undeserving of a place in the Edittools template. These hypothetical new users shouldn't touch it at all. It's funny and all, but leave it to people who know the shortcut only.

| ::::That's exactly what I was trying to address. Semicolon might be inactive, so we have to allow all users to be able to nuke pages that need to be nuked. If necessary, we can have a guideline regarding this, but I completely disagree that this should be restricted for admins.

| :Please stop derailing the discussion. If you want to discuss the nuke template being in the box, then wait until the new box is implemented (which should not be too long).

| '''Oppose''' but only for removing the nuked template. Here's the thing. The nuked template is handy whenever you get something that's not worthy of debate but should merely be silenced undemocratically. It has immense power, and is frankly part of the culture and history of this wiki, a part of our history that we should hold on to and encourage practiced users to employ when necessary. If the opportunity arises, I will gladly demonstrate both the utility and the enormous satisfaction one gets when using it. It is also useful when you want to give somebody an example of what ''not'' to do, which is useful to the community as a whole, who get a wholesale example of what is not acceptable on this wiki. It does so in an unambiguous and salient way. Therefore, I oppose the removal of the nuked tag in the revised version of the editbox. Thanks you, ladies and gentlemen.

| :Courier New is ugly as piss, and Arial is no better. Garamond or GTFO—Garamond or I nuke the edit tools. You feel me, G-rida.

| ::Just in case you're being serious: The font is "monospace" so as to match the aesthetic of the editing field; whatever font your browser picks when given "monospace" is not really my problem.

| :::Whatever font it is is ugly, and too small relative to the rest of the page. The edit tools are separated from the edit box, and thus need not be the same font. In fact, it would be better for them to match the summary field as they are closer together, and that is just a better look.

| ::::I can see what you mean but I personally disagree. I will however have a look around other wikis to see how many others use monospace in their edit boxes.

| ::::Okay, I looked around a few NIWA wikis, and none of them use monospace. So I'll change that, ignore the trolls, and implement the new thing.
