Wikipedia talk:Ribbons

Is it ok if this page has its own talk page? I find it a bit confusing to have a redirect here. for one thing, if the talk page is a redirect, then even the page itself does not show up in one's browser history. I hope that's okay. thanks!! --Sm8900 (talk) 20:21, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In retrospect, I've been looking at the new ribbons I created for user access levels, and I'm not sure about the importance of these. Since ribbons are supposed to be awards, maybe these ribbons for nearly every user access level are inflating to both user pages and ribbons as a whole. I'd like to seek some form of consensus before outright removing them, however. Thanks,Neuropol^Talk 14:11, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A late reply (and one from a rather inexperienced editor), but personally, I wouldn't sweat it. There is already a lot of ribbon/awards, including some "easy" ones like the Incrementals. In the end, it's up to each user what they want to display on their page.

Yes, it does add to an overarching "award creep", but I don't feel these are far beyond what some other awards are doing. The only thing I'd worry about is the possible incentive to seek access levels/flags for the ribbons instead of purely for their intended uses. Vtipoman (talk) 09:12, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
