Abandoned builds
Hey there. I appreciate the work you are doing flagging all the builds, put please take care to look at both the article and talk page history when flagging. W/Mo Icy Dragon Sword Farmer has had meaningful edits in the last week on the talk page (additionally, it should be favored, since enough people votes that way). Would be a shame if such builds got deleted accidentally. --Xeeron 04:31, 4 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Hullo! I apreciate you looking at the untested builds section. However I fear you me be being a little overzelous. IMHO only builds that are lacking in some way should be flaged as abandoned. We run the risk of losing valuable material deleting builds that are complete but unrated just because they have not needed editing in the last 2 weeks.


 * Let us take, for example, "my" E/Me Degen Nuker. There has been little negative feedback on it so it is now awaiting testing. I would like to think of it as "independant", the build has been developed as far as the feedback allows. If people start rating it as "unfavored" and the reasons can be remidied I will do so. Even better would be if people test it and find a shortfall in it's abilities they will change the build themselves. --JP 05:24, 4 October 2006 (CDT)


 * What he said - after a certain point there aren't many more "meaningful" changes that can be made as the build is complete, but that doesn't mean it's abandoned or useless. --NieA7 05:30, 4 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Well atm the untested category is totally flooded with builds some of which haven't been touched or voted on for over a months, if you see a build that shouldn't be deleted and had no changes you can remove the abandoned tag, but in that case please go ahead and test the build or improve it Tharna 05:40, 4 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Sure, NP. Like I said I appreciate you doing it as there is some duff half finished builds there ;o). As for testing, I started just over a week ago :o). Problem I've got is skill unlocks, still I'm getting there. --JP 05:44, 4 October 2006 (CDT)


 * yeah I admit I was a bit overzealous with adding the tags but 370 builds untested is overkill, we don't have enough regular testers to do even half of those, I will go through them again and see if there is anything that can be merged or something, and thanks to everyone for telling me that I overdid it ;) Tharna 05:50, 4 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Sticking the abandoned tag on so many builds was scary and unnecessary, but it's good you've highlighted the problem. --Ufelder 08:50, 4 October 2006 (CDT)


 * I think it was fine. After all, authors are allowed to remove the tags if they continue to make changes. Only those which no one cares about would be lost, and the chances of those being valueble are negligible. In fact, that there is a chance it is ignored is probably because there are too many untested builds to start with. Once the number of untested builds have gone down, these unfound jewels if you will, would be noticed. --Silk Weaker 03:28, 5 October 2006 (CDT)
