Forum:Prevent editing of old discussions

Should we put a code in MediaWiki:Common.js to prevent editing of old discussions? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 10:25, June 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * If someone knows Javascript, they could do. --Speysider Talk Page 10:30, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Is that even possible? - White Flash - (Talk) - 10:33, June 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Don't think it is tbh. --Speysider Talk Page 10:35, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Just saw it on some other wiki. I dont know if it would work here or not.

 * Can you provide a link to this "other" wiki you saw it on? - White Flash - (Talk) - 10:44, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * This wiki. Lol — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 10:47, June 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Linking to Community Central's RC is not helpful, link it to where you saw it on, we aren't psychics. - White Flash - (Talk) - 10:59, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

What do you mean. Ofcourse its here — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 11:04, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

Why? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME¤ (T@lk)☺ 13:48, June 11, 2012 (UTC)

They have something like this at the Avatar wiki, but I don't know if it's automatic or if it's a template. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:53, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Community Central use something like this on blogs, whenever a blog is not commented in 30 days other users can't leave comments. - White Flash - (Talk) - 07:43, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

This is good. But there are some times that a user would open again the discussion if consensus wasn't reached. However I do agree implementing this. ~IndxcvNovelist (talk 08:42, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

We dont know how this code works. But I think I know someone, who can help. — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 10:14, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Such as? - White Flash - (Talk) - 10:16, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Question, is it something that will prevent people from editing the section altogether or just a template that will be put there asking them not to? Because if it's the latter, that isn't going to stop people. It's just going to create additional work for people to do.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 10:29, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, Cerez-senpai. That would lock the forum page. ~IndxcvNovelist (talk 10:37, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) Hey, first off - UltimateSupreme copied a segment of the code for importing the show/hide box, not the code for disabling edits - secondly, for some reason he removed the attribution for the author of the code, for reference, the code you need to add to your common.js is below:


 * This code works in conjunction with the Forumheader on central. The forumheader template checks for the time since the last edit with the code . The " <div id="old-forum-warning" " is the code that the javascript above looks for, and - if the script finds it in the forum namespace - then it disables the edit button.
 * Note that you'll need to change the code to read  instead of   as Central has 2 Forum namespaces (Forum: and Admin Forum:) - whilst namespace 114 on the Naruto wiki is the Quotes: namespace. Hope this helps --  Random  Time  10:41, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 10:44, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

"such as?" — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 10:58, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * CLARIFY. CLARIFY. Salil is talking about Randomtime or even Simant. ~IndxcvNovelist (talk 11:00, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Perhaps Salil should've been a little more specific. - White Flash - (Talk) - 11:09, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Salil? Who is that? Lol. I was talking about Randomtime. — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 11:35, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Oh LOL you Salil. Don't get angry at me mentioning your name. ~IndxcvNovelist (talk 12:09, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

I am not angry ^_^ — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 12:10, June 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hahaha. I remembered when you get angry at me for giving the link…. ~IndxcvNovelist (talk 12:13, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * So, should we do it? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 04:54, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

No. Using JS to block something is a ridiculous idea. That's the kind of solution I give in to when dealing with a technologically moronic client that I just want to get rid of. ~ Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk)


 * If you don't like JS, how about inserting a template? ~IndxcvNovelist (talk 19:53, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

(Late). It can still be edited by the methods mentioned above. Its not a complete block — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 09:44, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
