Would "TECHNIC" go under the General section? -Nerfblasterpro: I PRESS SMASH BUTTON! 17:22, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

Gallery

Shouldn't we add a Gallery section (under LEGO.com Description and above See also) to the MoS? User:Samdo994/sig2 14:56, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

• This can be brought up at Forum:MOS proposals NovaHawk 02:37, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
  • I thought this was to unrelevant, but okay. User:Samdo994/sig2 10:51, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

British English

Since we use British spelling here, should we use British terminology, too? For example, when talking about a car, say "boot" instead of "trunk," "bonnet" instead of "hood," etcetera? --Dunjohn 09:26, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

No, because the verdict was only about British spelling, not British language and terminiology. If this was a purely British website, it would become much more confusing. --TheGrandEditor 16:36, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Minifigure Parts

Shouldn't we add a parts section in the minifigure articles section. Many articles have a section like this. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature 09:16, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Protection

Why is this fully protected? 0_o FB100Z • talk • contribs 20:34, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Because all auto-confirmed users would not edit it responsibly, after a community consensus. There is no readily available protection level for patrollers. User:UltrasonicNXT/Signature 18:13, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Minor point

Since the whole of the Eurozone uses the comma as a decimal point instead of the period, should Euro currency be written as €1,99 instead of €1.99?? Kingcjc 17:02, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

• Whatever LEGO lists them as. I don't know which one. User:Mykheh/sig 17:04, June 29, 2011 (UTC)
  Per cjc. User:Mykheh/sig 17:59, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

This is full of grammar mistakes and bad formatting. I feel that this should be reduced to autoconfirmed protection; any controversial changes should be reverted and discussed as outlined in WP:BOLD. Something isn't against consensus until it has been done and someone disagrees with it. FB100Z • talk • contribs 04:30, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
