** See, now, that's more what [[Heroes Wiki:Administrator Portal]] does, since all admins are supposed to watch that page. If you're set on the template, the best way would be to have it assign the page to a maintenance category (something like Category:Unanswered questions), but even then it depends on an admin checking that category manually (since you can't watch a category for new articles). I can speak for anybody else, but I check most of the maintenance categories (double redirects, noimage pages, wanted pages, wanted categories, orphaned pages, and such) maybe 1-2 times a day, so maybe that's not the best way to get a ''fast'' answer.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 23:16, 27 March 2007 (EDT) |

Revision as of 07:52, 28 March 2007
The template says "see below for my question". Is the question supposed to be somewhere on the message flag, or does the flag just point to a question below? Either way, something needs to be changed -- either the wording on the flag or more code to include a question. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:13, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
- The way I designed it, it was meant to point to a question that the user types below. Heroe(talk) 20:24, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
I'm missing something
What does this do? It doesn't add a category. How are we supposed to find these questions, apart from watching recent changes? If we're just watching recent changes, what difference does adding the template make? How is it different/better than other places to ask questions, like Heroes Wiki talk:Community_Portal or Heroes Wiki:Administrator Portal? I'm not opposed to it; I just don't get it.--Hardvice (talk) 23:00, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
