 :Your point about footnotes is correct. I meant to do them. Consider them as missed opportunities waiting for another chance.

+:It's against my policy to edit pages in another user's namespace unless it's for purposes of discussion. I usually ignore their namespaces altogether. But your prototype for the Main Page is still under your name and generating at least 18 redlinks. Can you blank it please? Thank you.

+:We'll keep that page around for a while if you don't mind. And even if you do, we'll still keep it around for a little while (OK, maybe a somewhat shorter while then ^_^).
+:I'm not happy with the way you trimmed the links on the actual main page and this is neat reminder of crucial stuff left to set up (redlinks are reminders, remember?).
+:And like I told you before, there's no reason why you should be horripilated (or overwhelmed) by redlinks that are out of the way of the regular users. They're ''fine'', dammit.
+:Complaining about too many redlinks is like complaining about too many articles in a namespace, too many images, or too many edits by a certain user on a certain day.
+:Sure the list is impressive, but it's nothing a dedicated editor can't filter through for what he actually needs, making a certain number of mental notes for his future sessions.
+:I'm still freaking out at how you set up that page of yours just so that the consoles are not listed under Orphaned pages. You ''do'' realize that changed ''nothing'' except for you?
+:Practically, I think it's up to dedicated editors (such as you) to fish for redlinks that may ''actually'' appeal to the general public, and display them prominently on [[Current events]].
+:Surely a manically trimmed-down set of redlinks may make that more comfortable for you, but there's no point in nagging others at the first sign of personal inconvenience.
+:In other terms, even if you think that your productivity as an editor is kept down by the current state of the wiki or my actions (or lack thereof), don't be a f##king d##k about it.
