Hey, isn't this fun? What we need now is someone to craft a fine template to place on featured users' pages. Some kind of summons to the stocks... Gwinva ( talk) 00:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
How about including Ed Poor for deleting VfD? A ecis Brievenbus 00:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to be a killjoy. But, this is a terrible idea. 1) Humiliating people is not a great way to foster civility. 2) WP:BEANS 3) I can see less mature admins seeking ways to get themselves added to this. In short, no benefit to the project and potential harm. Please reconsider.-- Docg 15:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I also am not sure if this page is a good idea. I don't think that admins having to suffer one's ignominy with grace means that it is OK to disregard the feelings of admins who make mistakes. Sure, some of them might really not mind being on this page, but others might, and how can you tell the difference? If you just want to tell a cautionary tale then there is no need to name names.

Please then remove all instances where the disparaged person has not consented to inclusion.-- Docg 19:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
How about when a certain Commons admin deleted the deletion requests page? (similar to our XfDs). Could they be included? Majorly ( talk) 16:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
A certain user was added to this page over bot null-edits to the main page, but I have removed it for the time being: feeling is still running high at WP:AN, and we don't want to incite anything, or seem to be slinging mud. For incidents like this I think it is wise to sit back and wait until things are resolved. If blocks and bans eventuate, then it is not so amusing. No notice was left on the user page at the time of posting, so we'll leave things for now, I suggest. If everyone can laugh over it in a few days time, then we can re-post properly.

How about this one from the archives: User:Moriori moved the Main Page to Hauturu/Little Barrier Island on November 1, 2005. Move log Sadly Moriori appears to have left Wikipedia, so can't be notified of this - but as a really, really dumb page move, can we add it anyway? Terraxos ( talk) 05:34, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't quite remember who the poor sod was, but trying to remove an edit from the main page, resulting in nobody being able to edit wikipedia for a good part of an hour should deserve a nomination. Anyone remembers? Martijn Hoekstra ( talk) 01:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Can someone find a link to the deleted Main Page? Evil Wendy Man 17:11, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Would anyone support me if I nominated this stupid page for deletion? Pzrmd ( talk) 05:37, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
This seems on the surface like it's being used more as a pillory for a user who made a genuine oversight/error in judgement. In light of the "bold, revert" part of WP:BRD that's already taken place, however, I'm leaving it under Nominations until there's a little "discussion". – RobinHood70 talk 01:44, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
I think that since the title is "Village stocks," "Hall of shame" makes no sense. I think one of the following would be better:
In no way do we have to select one of these. I'm open to suggestions. Jasper Deng (talk) 05:15, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
East718 got the "it seemed like a good idea at the time..." award, which I don't think he deserved. I think the revisions (even though he used an unapproved bot) really were a good idea, because there are consequences to deleting the Main Page. He should have gotten the bot approved first, but I think it was a great idea to make the Main Page undeletable. ChromaNebula (talk) 21:07, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
I changed this award recently and was reverted. The title of the award just isn't funny. It's not creative, reflecting on exactly what Master of Puppets did rather than adding to it with a joke. I changed it to Town Crier because it improves upon the idea of MoP's actions: a town crier warns everyone. Any thoughts? Inter change able 00:07, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
It's been more than a month and no one has commented on this. Will someone please give some input? Inter change able 18:41, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Not that it's a big deal, but is there a log somewhere of Scientizzle deleting the sandbox we could link to? The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい) 18:33, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
We are trying to figure out what went wrong with this category: Category:Requests for unblock Anyone know why admin toolbox pages are turning up there? - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 20:58, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Currently the incidents are sorted in alphabetical order. But I think it would be better to sort in chronological order. Opinions are requested. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:40, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
