What's TTT2 :P I'm not stalking your wall, I just came here by happenstance. Btw, you know Butler? Would you like me to show you how to run pywikipedia on it?
It is my business because I am a member of this wiki. If you do not plan to follow the policy at all, then that is your decision. However, if you want to prolong your stay here, I'd suggest that you read the policy and be more polite in voicing your reactions if your edits were undone.
I copied this message from the admin notice board and put it here, per Lady Lostris' suggestion in her reply.
The block was made by LiaSakura.
Reason given: Already warned not to add categories not mentioned in the question's title
Start of block: 10:57, January 1, 2013
Expiry of block: 10:57, January 4, 2013
Intended blockee: Intelligence4
Block ID: #162
Current IP address: 24.192.131.225
The block message says that I can contest the block by replying to it, however the block prevents me from doing so. I was blocked for adding a category that wasn't in the question title: I added the Sozin's Comet Part 4 and Sozin's Comet Part 3 categories to Did Aang lose the battle against Ozai in the series finale. The categories were mentioned in the question: "finale." Futhermore, the policy for that wiki states: "Categorize the answered question in the appropriate, relevant categories." It does not restrict categories to words mentioned in the title, as interpreted by the blocking administrator. (Perhaps this demonstrates abuse of administrative power?) If the policy is in fact meant to restrict categories to words in the title, it should be reworded to reflect said intention. Otherwise, could you explain this block to me? As I said above, the categories I was blocked for adding were in the page title.
I would like to continue to be a contributing member of these wikis (answers and main) and maintain a friendly relationship with them, as I believe they have done/are doing a fantastic job at what they do.
Just to clear things up, you were not blocked because of that question. It was this. I warned you thrice about only adding categories mentioned in the question's title. I thought you understood after the first warning, but clearly, you didn't. I explained to you when and when not to add cats. Other users that help out in answers pretty much give a demonstration about it everyday. Each category also has its respective descriptions and questions that further explains its use.
And you should have been able to reply to the same post as I have not ticked the box that prevents you from doing so nor that prevents you from posting on your message wall either.
You are free to continue contributing to any wiki you'd like; in fact, I appreciate that you are helping in answers. However, please be more cautious of your edits in the future.
So I actually thought I was going mad, thinking I'd made up the entire discussion. But really, how is a comment that explicitly talks about Korra on Korra's page, Irrelevant? If you're going to be deleting comments like that you might as well start by systematically wiping out 99% of the comments on every page, ever. Because as far as I can tell, a comment talking about Korra on Korra's page is perfectly acceptable to be on that page, and has every right to stay on it. I could point out numerous posts that are far less "relevant" than that of which you deleted.
Are you sure the threads did not violate any other policy? If not, I have no clue what happened, though you may want to leave a note on the admin noticeboard for restoration.
Looking at the deleted comments, it appears as though they were not relevant to Korra specifically but to the entire series in general, or in one case, New T.A. in general.
Hmm, not sure about the others, but the thread I was following was pretty relevant. But really, that's a pretty strict regime if you're deleting threads simply for being too broad. The topic was LoK character development, Korra is the biggest name in that thread, by pure definition alone.
It does seem like many of them had a skimming relevancy, but the one about the new T.A. was technically still relevant to Korra since she is part of it.
@Ruen Could you tell me exactly which parent comment was it? As far as I do the usual deletion, I only deleted the ones not relevant to the character, which in this case Korra, itself. Anything under the parent comment would get deleted as well, in case you missed it.
I don't know, but the way this seems enforced in some cases seems like unless the comment specifically says "This is Korra page." it risks getting deleted. Sure, taking it to the extreme, maybe, but in my opinion, it's already closing in on the extremes already.
Except the parent comment itself seemed perfectly reasonable. It's the same as Sparks said. If it's about Team Avatar, it's relevant because Korra is in it, she's also the biggest part of it. The exact same is said for LoK.

Then if further discussion continues, the next time - as long as the discussion centers on Korra, it should be all right to stay.
Partly reads:
"I am kinda sick and tired of everyone saying Lok has no character development. It has it's own way of developing. Also it's the first season so chill. The only ..."
"I am kinda sick and tired of everyone saying Lok has no character development. It has it's own way of developing. Also it's the first season so chill. The only reason we keep thinking that Lok doesn't have character development because we keep comparing it to Atla. Just because we finished Atla, the characters were fully developed.
After the first season on Atla, we're the characters as developed as you hoped. NO! Why because the series wasn't finished, and you knew more was coming.
We know that more episodes are coming in Lok. Just chill out
I seem ticked off but I'm not. I really want to engage in good threads, with good questions, answers, etc."
I can see its relevance to Korra - as there are many complaints of her ending underdeveloped.
Edit 2: The discussion ensuing does center around Korra, so it is all right to stay in my opinion. However, my opinion is mine alone and is not the final say on things.
And you know, she is in fact in the show. If it was posted on someone like Katara's or Aang's I could understand. Also, if that ain't enough; it is Legend of Korra.
@LiaSakura. As far as I know, I don't know how to find the original comment after it is deleted such as the way PSUAvatar just did. Sorry, I'm new. But I do think a comment like that was entirely uncalled for.
Only issue being after that long period of time, the people who I was discussing with likely won't see it. Rather unfortunate really, it was quite enjoyable.
Well, it's nice to know you guys have made an agreement ^^"
But do hear my side: After reading and re-reading the comment, yes, the topic is still relevant to Korra, however, the reason I thought it was irrelevant is the way that it talks more about TLoK characters rather than Korra and thus can be seen as too broad to be relevant to the Korra page. Something of which that seemed as a good reason to mark it as irrelevant. It is named The Legend of Korra, although it does not necessarily mean that it is centered only on Korra herself.
@Ruen In my opinion, using irrelevant comment as a reason isn't an incorrect one. The irrelevancy of a comment can be interpreted differently. Your interpretation and mine can be a testament to that.
Also, you were able to find the first part of the comment and that was what I was asking you in my first reply. As KFB said, only admins can see the whole deleted thing, so there's no need to apologize for it. But in any case, I just hope I get the point across.
@KFB ?action=purge "refreshes" the server so it may come in handy if pages don't show when it needs to appear ^^.
Well, depending on how one interprets the policy, it can indeed go either way. However, note that the policy does not elaborate on the level of irrelevancy required to delete a comment. It pretty much leaves us the decision to make of what determines irrelevant content. I would argue that since it does not explain its point adequately enough, it is best left to define irrelevant as not mentioning the subject of the article even once. It's the broadest and most generous view, but is beneficial because then we do not have to try to figure out what can or cannot be considered irrelevant. Since the thread did mention Korra multiple times, I suppose it is relevant enough to remain.
Hi. For Team Avatar, it was more about Zuko than Team Avatar itself. And the trivia is a, in simple terms, "too trivial trivia". Also, in that sense, almost all the characters will have a trivia about not saying these particular names out loud in this episode/the finale and whatnot.
I did not remove them. There is a format for refs after their first mention in the article. <ref name=RO/> just calls <ref name=RO>{{Cite episode|1|203}}</ref>. It functions the same as long as the latter exists.
