Every wave just about, I'm looking on Eurobricks, and I see some user come along and post "hey, I've found this new set [or new information] on Brickipedia. Here's the link: <link>". And a significant amount of the time, the article being linked to is garbage, either speculation or just misinformation from some vandal. And in the end when this happens, all it does it make us look really bad. So, I was wondering if maybe we should consider semi-protecting all things tagged a "future" template {{future set}}, {{future minifigure}}, etc) to prevent incidents like this from happening. Sure, we can't really do much if someone creates a new page about a fake set, anyone can just make a random article, but hopefully someone sees it and tags it with {{sourceless}} and {{speedydelete}} quickly enough (or an admin deletes it), and protecting the information on real articles at least might help a bit. Just a thought. NightblazeSaber 00:26, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
Strongly Support This seems like a good idea...

Strongly Support Excellent idea. Also, these are the pages that get protected most often anyway, so it would certainly save us some bother. ...Half Way out of the Dark... 00:33, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
Supports more strongly than the other two! Love this idea, definetly would help. -Nerfblasterpro: Always supplying the boomsauce...

Not as much support as above, but still a fairly strong support This would include future year articles. But we still can't stop things being added on themes' pages when the theme is old but a new wave is coming. Is it possible to create a self-updating list of pages that have such a future template on them, but are not yet semi-protected? Samdo994 talk contribs 14:56, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Fail Samdo, that should be a major support. Like more than ours... :P -Nerfblasterpro: Always supplying the boomsauce...
