Template talk:sockpuppet

RFDO discussion: August 2014–June 2015
Seemingly unused. Looks like stuff taken from Wikipedia. --Type56op9 (talk) 10:05, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, I don't think sockpuppets are a problem over here. --Type56op9 (talk) 10:06, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Of course you're a problem over here; it's just that no one can be bothered puttnig this template on all of your userpages. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 13:11, 15 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Kept. The nominater was probably high at the time of RFDing --Type56op9 (talk) 23:18, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep both: There have been sockpuppets in Wiktionary's history, so there are potential uses for this template. Pur ple back pack 89  13:43, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Prime example above (just to be clear, not you PBP). --WikiTiki89 14:04, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Oh wait, it was me. Hmm, I thought I'd changed account since August 2014. Sorry guys for the confusion. --Type56op9 (talk) 23:19, 2 June 2015 (UTC)


 * You're sorry for nothing, Type. Please strike these discussions in the future. --IdotIdotI (talk) 16:22, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Template:sockpuppeteer
Annoying, hideous, bureaucratic cruft that was migrated from Wikipedia at some point. Template:sockpuppet has only been used one single time legitimately, and the other two times it was used by apparently experienced vandals to label themselves with (which is kind of a harmful precedent for this template to set). And those are the only ever uses of that template. Template:sockpuppeteer has straight-up never been used. We have Vandalism in progress for this sort of thing, which does just fine on its own.

 * delete. Sockpuppets aren't an issue on Wiktionary. I wonder what has to say about it. --Nueva normalidad (talk) 22:43, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't care. PUC – 20:35, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Seems pretty useless. Ultimateria (talk) 01:07, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Both deleted; a consensus to have these removed is definitely apparent. PseudoSkull (talk) 14:59, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
