New tags to check user warnings[edit]
Coming up with new tags for administrators and other interested parties to easily check users for past warnings without violating talk page usage or leaving a blatant mark like {{ow}}.
Proposal[edit]
Create two new tags: "warning given" and "warning removed". This would allow anyone to quickly determine the number of warnings given and when they were removed without relying on edit summaries.
Drawback[edit]
The one drawback I see is with the essay Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars, which would mean that veteran editors would have a less complete warning log.

RfC draft for unblock requests for partial blocks[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Should the criterion for not removing unblock requests for partial blocks at WP:UP#CMT be changed? For reference:
Declined unblock requests regarding a currently active block, including partial blocks.
[signature here]
Background[edit]
A question about partial unblock requests appeared on the WP:ANI. Some commenters supported an all-or-nothing approach (i.e., every single unblock request must be displayed on the user's talk page) while others suggested that that may provoke a negative reaction from an otherwise productive editor. For example, I speculated on the ANI thread that:
[...] it forces the user to either resign themselves to forever being blocked from that page range or pray they're lucky enough to have it appealed on their first request to not incur a buildup of denied unblock requests, as there shouldn't be anything stopping the user from making a new one every few months(?).
The talk page comment removal policy does not include a criterion about removing the block notices themselves.
My own proposal[edit]
While the RfC is merely asking if the criterion should just be changed, I would like to present the following proposal:
If denied appeals for partial blocks are mandatory, only the most recent one should be displayed on the user's talk page. Any previous unblock requests for partial blocks should be stored in an archive page that is linked from the user's talk page. This would prevent the talk page from being cluttered but retain the visibility that at least one unblock request has been made.
