User:Mendel/Controversy Guide

Sometimes you just need some controversy and wikidrama, but there just isn't any available. Here are some suggestions on how to make that happen. [To do: provide links to examples, extend lists]

change the operation paradigm

 * sell the wiki Wikia_Move
 * remove a major section of content Builds_wipe
 * add more advertisements Forum:Community_Outlook-_Wikia%27s_%22New_Look%22

Admin promotion

 * suggest an obviously unsuited admin for promotion, preferably one whose RfA has failed before
 * promote an admin who gets into bitter fights with other editors
 * promote an admin who has no community support
 * promote an admin that one of the bureaucrats opposes [][]

borderline edit actions

 * move a page to a totally different topic, state a reason that sounds sane
 * delete / undelete a page that has a 1% chance of being an article and not a hoax, citing GW:AGF Talk:Acorns

policy disputes

 * call out active user talk pages for talk page spam []
 * annoy the RC patrol with requests to honor GW:1RV User_talk:Auron_of_Neon/Archive_12User_talk:M.mendel/AuronUser_talk:Maui/archive17
 * unblocking yourself []
 * ban someone while banned yourself []

user page design

 * post fake pictures
 * post revealing pictures
 * post a gallery of Boobies [[Image:A-F-starter.jpg‎|x30px]]

inflammatory topics

 * discuss an ArenaNet employee's sexual preferences based on information that later turned out to be wrong
 * claim the death of the wiki []
