WikiLemon:Usergroups
From WikiLemon
Usergroups are categories that state facts about certain users. To add yourself to a usergroup, add [[Category:NAME OF USERGROUP|USERNAME]] to the bottom of your userpage. If the usergroup doesn’t already exist, click the red link and create the page with this template: {{Usergroup|DESCRIPTION OF THE USERGROUP}} In the description “Users” is automatically added to the start, so you don’t need to include it. For an example a female usergroup would have the template {{Usergroup|who are female}}.
Relevance
Usergroups may be created for:
- Fans of a certain musician, program, film, et cetera.
- Users with certain physical or social attributes.
- Physical attributes such as hair colour or height.
- Social attributes such as political positions or religion.
- Users with certain disabilities, physical or mental.
- Users of a certain nationality.
- Users born in a certain year.
Usergroups may not be created for:
- Catch-all descriptions like “Human users”.
- Users in a certain city, county, planet, et cetera. Only countries are acceptable.
- Flaming other users.
- Users that haven’t tried something. (Example: “Users that have never heard a Beatles song”.)
- Anything that promotes violation of WikiLemon policies or the law.
- Birthdates other than year. Anything less specific is pointless and anything more is covered by Illemonati birthdays.
Naming conventions
Usergroup names should describe their members in the most condensed form possible and not start with generic words like “users” or “fans” unless absolutely necessary. Don’t create redundant usergroups; that is, usergroups that define qualities that can already be defined by combining other usergroups. (For example, a usergroups for lesbians would be redundant because one could find a list of lesbians by combining female users and homosexual users.)
Good:
- British users
- Brown-haired users
- Democratic users
Bad:
- Users from Britain
- Users with brown hair
- Users with democratic views
