Quick question

Do the three edits have to be recent, or can they be from a trillion years ago back on Wikia? --HavocReaper48 22:15, 28 January 2012 (EST)

You just need to have three changes that show that you reverting edits. It doesn't matter how long ago. ..... The Overmind 22:22, 28 January 2012 (EST)

Question about deleted pages

If you reverted vandalism on a page that was later deleted, would it still count, or would you need to do another one? PikaSamus (talk) 13:35, 14 October 2014 (EDT)

Well, you need to link to the page, and since history is deleted, there would be no proof. I suppose in theory it should be valid, but there is no way to prove it so I guess you're stuck with needing to do another one. A screenshot might work, though, but I'm not sure about this.

If it were a normal page that happened to be deleted and happened to have a revert by you in its history, it'd be too much of a pain for you to find and for an admin to check. If it were an obvious vandal page that you reverted to "delete this", you could link to the deleted page and it'd be pretty easy for an admin to check, but I don't think we should be linking to such deleted pages (instead, don't reference them and leave them to rot). In either case I think you should stick to existing pages. Toomai Glittershine The Yoshi 13:46, 14 October 2014 (EDT)

Something about the current RFR.

I don't think it's that well designed since new RFRs are squashed by current rollbackers being faster. I think we might need some kind of new idea to make RFRs more reasonably possible. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 22:16, 21 November 2015 (EST)

I feel like we should just draft something up rather than just state the problem, don't you think? ---Preceding unsigned comment added by a turkey! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 22:18, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Except I don't really have an idea other than ripping off an RFA. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 22:20, 21 November 2015 (EST)

I'll take a shot at it. (This time as an actual policy proposal :P) ---Preceding unsigned comment added by a turkey! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 22:20, 21 November 2015 (EST)

Probably not until Monday though. I gotta go to bed and I'm really busy tomorrow. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by a turkey! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 22:29, 21 November 2015 (EST)

This time I won't be mindlessly angry and actually analytical. Anyway, fire away when you can, and good luck. Ganonmew, The Thankful Evil Clone 22:30, 21 November 2015 (EST)
