    From OurAnswer:

    A faction tag is a prefix to a page that says something like:

    This page approved by OurAnswer:Greens. No other faction has commented.

    The purpose of this tag is to make clear to any new troll that at least one non-troll faction must approve before something is guaranteed to stay in the same name space with non-troll work. It also tells other factions that if they do not comment, then the decisions are likely to be made by the only/few factions that care. If, for instance, the "Reds" check out the page and make no edits, they can then change the faction tag to:

    This page approved by OurAnswer:Greens and OurAnswer:Reds. No other faction has commented.

    But if they did any substantial edit' they must instead change it to:

    This page approved by OurAnswer:Reds. OurAnswer:Greens approved an earlier version. No other faction has commented or edited this page.

    The tag must be kept short, simple, standard, and include links to the earlier version or relevant comment. For instance if the OurAnswer:Blues say "this page should not exist", that must be also referred somewhere in tags.


    Interesting idea. This could be done by using w:Wikipedia:Template messages --Juxo 12:33, 14 Jul 2004 (EEST)
