When discussed at desysop

@1989: Hi, I'm not happy with your removal of "(when discussed at desysop)". Yes, It is mentioned in links but not obvious. This is very useful as a reference and I believe it should be mentiond in reason. -- CptViraj (talk) 17:03, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

I strongly disagree, if anything, it rubs salt in wounds. If were mentioning reasons why someone resigned, it should be applied to everyone. Btw, if it needs to be obvious for a bureaucrat, they shouldn't be one. 1989 (talk) 17:06, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

This list is just for record purpose. We both have very different opinion, so I will wait for more opinions. -- CptViraj (talk) 17:22, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

If it were to be re-added, at least change it to (under a cloud). 1989 (talk) 17:29, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, I support that :) -- CptViraj (talk) 17:33, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Hope this is good enough. 1989 (talk) 17:21, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

When someone resign it usually means that they can easily get back the admin status. If someone is desysopped then it is much harder. Resigning can be a way to save everyone time to discuss the desysop but it can also be a way to avoid the desysop and make a later return easier. I think the solution is okay. --MGA73 (talk) 20:55, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

This style doesn't give link to the respective desysop page. -- CptViraj (talk) 02:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

I feel the point of mentioning there was a desysop discussion is to show the resignation was controversial. I have provided an alternative option of stating it was under a cloud by using a footnote marker, while the resigned link mentions or links to the desysop discussion. Should be obvious enough. 1989 (talk) 03:36, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

i think that's a subjective assessment. i'd prefer it be removed.--RZuo (talk) 12:22, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Sort by iso date

i'm surprised that wikitable can recognise "dd monthname yyyy" and sort it automatically, but still this has a problem -- the entries with more than one date can only be interpreted as text strings somehow. so i want to change all dates to yyyy-mm-dd, then even those entries will be sorted by the first date they contain.

i plan to invite another user to do this, but i will bear the full responsibility for this edit of changing dates to yyyy-mm-dd. RZuo (talk) 19:34, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

done.--RZuo (talk) 12:22, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
