Line 296: {{quotation|1=regardless of the editing method (i.e. manual, semi-automatic, or automatic; from any account), [[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich Farmbrough]] is indefinitely prohibited from making cosmetic changes to wikicode that have no effect on the rendered page (excepting those changes that are built-in to stock AWB or those that have demonstrable consensus or BAG approval). This includes but is not limited to: changing templates to template redirects, changing template redirects to templates (see [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Template redirects|here]] for AWB stock changes on this item, with the understanding that bypassing template redirects will only be done when there is a substantive edit being done), changing the spacing around headers and ordered lists (except to make an aberration consistent with the rest of the page), and changing the capitalization of templates. Furthermore, prior to orphaning/emptying and deleting categories or templates, the appropriate processes (WP:CFD/WP:TFD) should be engaged. Sanction imposed per [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard&oldid=392963350#Rich_Farmbrough.27s_persistent_disregard_for_community_norms_and_.28semi-.29automated_editing_guidelines this AN discussion], to be enforced by escalating blocks}} Now you're an intelligent man, and it shouldn't come to this. So I want you to take all the code out of whatever instrument of the Devil it is that you use, that does things like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Radio_One_%28album%29&diff=prev&oldid=464075901 this] and changes <nowiki><references/> to {{reflist}}</nowiki>, and switch cases the first letter of template names, and stuff like that. Because the next time that someone tells me that you have done it again, I will block you in the following sequence - 24hrs (in case you thought I wasn't serious), 1 week, 1 month, 1 year. And that would not be a good thing. [[User:Elen of the Roads|Elen of the Roads]] ([[User talk:Elen of the Roads|talk]]) 21:32, 4 December 2011 (UTC) :With all due respect, which it seems is virtually none, you are way out of order. That is not pi-jaw, it is an out and out personal attack, coupled with an amount of stupidity that exceeds anything I would expect from a sitting arbitrator. In the attempt by people, some of whom almost certainly actually are suffering from some of the conditions you accuse me of, and of which you clearly are in almost complete ignorance, to have me hauled before the august committee upon which you sit, you accused me, without any evidence, ''from the bench'' of a number of malfeasences. In addition you stuck your hand up at ANI as willing to enforce, showing that you had completely missed the question that was being asked and had not read or understood what was going on. Nor were you capable of noticing that, in the tangent that the hijiacked thread became, new accusations that were completely wrong (I.E. factually wrong) were being thrown around like confetti. :I must say this is a disappointment, after the way you handled the question of the ethnic make up of Gibraltar, I had conceived that you were competent. That estimation began to evaporate rapidly when you mad your unseemly comments in ArbCom and your subsequent folly has rather inverted it. :''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', <small>21:51, 4 December 2011 (UTC).</small><br /> | |||
