Talk:Chatroom Regulars
I gave reasons for getting rid of this when I nominated it for deletion. If anybody wants more from me please do say so. Journeymystery
Delete Chatroom regulars, keep chatroom regs. Regs has much more done to it
The usage of the term Regs in place of Regulars needs to go. Regs to me means rules...a merger proposal involves taking the best of both and combining. While there isnt much on the Chatoom regulars that isnt on the Regs page it needs to be examined the problem of broken links needs to be addressed etc.--LordGreystoke422 21:27, 28 January 2007 (CST)
- I think a big part of the issue here is that one of them is a category page, and the other is an article page. Even if we deleted the category page, it would still be on a lot of other people's userpages. You know, the little thing on the bottom that says "Chatroom regulars" like I just put on the bottom of this page. Obviously though, it doesn't make sense to have that duplicate content. What I've seen on Wikipedia is
- keep both, don't delete any (mainly to avoid confusion, you'll see)
- remove the content from the Category:Chatroom Regulars page, (keeping the content on the Chatroom regs page)
- replace that content with a blurb saying "These people listed here are Chatroom regulars. For the full article on Chatroom regulars, go to Chatroom regs." This lets you have a Category page, while still giving you the flexibility to have a real article page that you can edit any way you want. Category pages don't make good article pages.
- Move Chatroom regs to Chatroom Regulars using the "Move" tab, to preserve the page history. That way the article and category names will be consistent, and we'll also avoid any ambiguities in the abbreviation "regs". (I thought the same when I first saw it, LG422)
- Sound feasible? Since the unsigned comment also said that Category:Chatroom Regulars has less info, looks like there should be no problem removing that text.

Does the chatroom exsist? and if not, why is this page still in exsistence? SheriffOfNottingham
- The chat was down for a lot of Jan-Feb, but it's been back for a week or two now.--JayHenry 17:40, 28 February 2007 (CST)
I would be terribly sad to see this go. As one of the first people to ever use the LG15 chat, I feel like it's kinda a part of history. In fact, I'm pretty sure I MADE this page I would be okay with renaming it to something like "Original Chat Regs" or something along those lines, but don't delete something that brought so many of us together and formed amazing friendships.
