Template talk:Creator

Nice. I would have been happier with a Template:MajorityContrib ("this article's primary author is...") that attributed the work to the person who did the most contribs to it, just because it makes a bit more sense that way (one person starts off the article with one line and gets the glory even after another triples the article size doesn't make sense). But this is way better than Template:Protection.

As for Template:Protection, I suggest replacing with a call to this template, so that you don't have to go edit each and every page with a Template:Protection in it.

Hope that helps,

In the rules, it states that "Users cannot edit someone else's page". If anyone could edit anything, I could start an article about a king in the late Fourth Age with only a sentence or two, go to bed, and find out the next morning that someone else had added a few thousand characters depicting his childhood, life, career, and death, when I may've wanted him to have a completely different life. Only a few articles can be edited by anyone without permission by the author, as seen in Category:Free-edit Articles. 02:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I think that's Yun's point, is that that's a good thing, to have that much collabbing. Wikia's idea is, if you can't stand the thought of others editing your work, you shouldn't be contributing to a wiki. Abcxyzzzz 05:11, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Many other fan fiction wikis have editors owning their own pages, why can't we? What the hell is wrong in owning our own pages? I agree with Chia. I might write something like Angeror is the lord of chaos, and can travel in time. Simetime later, some guy might put Angeror was killed. That would really piss me off, thats why we have the property template. Not owning pages is like a house where anyone can go in without permission and live in it. Arnie 11:11, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

My opinion can be read in User:ToaBionicle/Recent Changes. And thats the nice version. This is annoying me so much...

I am happy to announce that the new policy from Central Wikia is that the community decides whether or not the property concept is legitimate. In this case, considering how many people petitioned in favor of property, we certainly can continue to use such a template. However, let's not turn Template:Created by into another copy of Template:Property. Some people might prefer their works to be a bit more open. If you like Template:Property, just use it.

Cheers,
