Description Ted Dickinson 2006-02-28 18:36:51 UTC
Copyvio requires a userspace link. cleanup creates multiple cross-namespace
links that can't be cleaned up without removing the template.

Is there any possibility of modifying the CrossNamespaceLinks report to prevent
articles with either of these templates from appearing?
Comment 1 Ted Dickinson 2006-02-28 18:48:31 UTC
See the notability tag as well, which creates multiple Wikipedia_talk links.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2006-03-02 02:17:40 UTC
I would expect these are *exactly* the sort of links you want to see. 
There should not be any such articles just sitting around; they need 
to be found and cleaned up.

What? That makes little sense.  These articles are FOUND through their
templates.  There's no need for them to be on the Cross-name space special page.
 These pages being there just clutters up the clean-up process.

By clean-up process I meant getting user signatures out of Wikipedia main
namespace articles (the main articles of Wikipedia).
