Why?
I decided to check on this wiki, and just why is this template changed? The old one was way better! It showed us the community that made up what is known as Polandball Wiki, and all the users that used to be on it as well. Now I need permission to add my own username into this. I do not care that it is WIP at the moment, just let the community add their names. Just another edit farm. - IndestructibleGlass (talk | contribs) 12:21, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Response to IndestructibleGlass's comment
1. It was way too flooded with cancerous nicknames and random people that just showed up on the wiki for like 2 weeks then left, all of whom decided to edit the wiki for the only time in their lives to add themselves and nothing else. We decided that a new template would be better since the previous one was way too much flooded and because the original one was in alphabetical order but it was ruined in early 2020.

2. No it was not actually, most nicknames did not make sense and were completely unrelated

3. I mean, showing the old users of the wiki was a nice touch but there is just too many and adding them all in alphabetical order once again would take up a lot of free time

4. "I do not care that it is WIP at the moment, just let the community add their names. Just another edit farm." No. However, once the template comes out of WIP it could be possible, but we would have to review the names and change them if needed

 * Still, now new users will never find out how big the community used to be, or who actually made the base the the current PBW stands on. I have a feeling this wiki will become authoritarian, and the other users have essentially become PBW stans, defending the wiki no matter what. Sure, if it was in alphabetical order, I would be fine with that, but the nicknames can stay, because most of them were probably jokes. Also, you might want to look at the talk page help. - IndestructibleGlass (talk | contribs) 14:09, 19 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Ok i’m not even gonna bother replying to this anymore, go ask Mtcat since he’ll probably find the right words to use. Also if you think changing the unofficial users template to being more complex (and more meme-y which is something we are planning to add later on) and removing the cringey old nicknames thathad nothing to do with theusers and cleaning it to be more simple to look at, if you think that is an authoritarian symbol then you need to snap back to reality. Mtcat101 has the final say on this, not me. If he accepts the idea of adding old users then so it shall begin. Spanish Colonial Gaming (talk) 01:49, 22 April 2021 (UTC)


 * If I am going to be honest, Mtcat just has a lot of influence. What I am trying to say is that the old template would have been much better to keep, if it were organized, it would have been much better. I do not like this new template at all. "Final say" is pretty much authoritarian by the way. I am not going to deAl with it, this new template is stupid, and the old one was better and would be better if it was organized. And since the mods are pretty much ALWAYS on the PBWDS, they have no time to organize it. Sure, Mtcat organized this, but I liked the old template better. I am not going to ask Mtcat, when he see this, maybe this will open his eyes. - IndestructibleGlass (talk | contribs) 16:22, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The template isn’t controlled or funded by the wiki staff/administration. But I do agree the mods should dedicate more of their free time on the wiki itself, seeing how the wiki is why they’re even in their current position in the first place. The pnly reason they edit once ever 4 days is because someone that ACTUALLY cares about the wiki sees someone breaking the rules and reports it on the #wikia channel and then there’s the ocassional wiki page cleansing. You know, you remind me a lot of myself a year ago... would you mind if we continue this conversation in Discord? I will also go tell Mtcat101 about your thoughts on the template Spanish Colonial Gaming (talk) 18:12, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Nah, it is best if we leave it alone. I do not want this to turn into an argument, so I'll just stop replying. - IndestructibleGlass (talk | contribs) 19:52, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
