Category talk:Paragonians looking for help

Is anybody actively monitoring this page? If not, we should probably get rid of it so that people aren't waiting forever for help on the rare occasions that it does get used. :) -- Sekoia 22:23, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

If one could send an alert every time an article (user page) uses the helpme template, then there would be an argument to keep it. Otherwise I suspect we'll forget it exists. --Konoko 22:35, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm obviously monitoring, but the problem is that watching the page only works if someone changes the page. There's no notification if something is added to the category though. -- StarGeek^{Talk page} 22:36, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I come in here every once in a while to check for outstanding items. I could probably get the same results by checking the "What links here" from the helpme template, though. --Eabrace 23:49, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, the only point for the HelpMe template is to put them in this category. Instead of directing people to use the helpme template, I'm wondering if we should do away with it entirely and refer them to the forums since using the HelpMe template is as likely as not to leave them unanswered for some time? If none of us are actively watching this category (and I mean visiting the page and looking to see if there's articles in it -- not putting it on our watchlists, which as mentioned, is unhelpful), then the helpme template does more harm than good. -- Sekoia 07:00, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
