Should this be "Won't do" - by analogy to "Won't fix"? Rich Farmbrough, 14:40, 22 April 2010 (UTC).Reply

Incivility

Isn't this rather incivil, and who can speak for all future Wikipedia editors and say something WILL NOT BE DONE. Surely "not done" with an appropriate context-specific comment would be more suitable. Compare:

Can someone pls unprotect the main page. --User:Foo 00:00, 1 January 2000

 N Not done and will not be done. --User:Bar 00:05, 1 January 2000


Can someone pls unprotect the main page. --User:Foo 00:00, 1 January 2000

  Not done it's been previously agreed it will stay protected. --User:Bar 00:05, 1 January 2000

In fact I can't think of an instance where this template would be appropriate.--Pontificalibus (talk) 12:08, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Having looked at its minimal usage, I'm tempted to simply redirect this to {{Not done}}, anyone disagree? Alternatively it could be reworded to say "Not done and not likely to be done".--Pontificalibus (talk) 12:11, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
  Done This was bugging me so I just went ahead and reworded it.--Pontificalibus (talk) 13:30, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I'm not proficient with templates so I can't make the following change myself. Currently, User:Foo and User:Bar link to real usernames, and the latter is a registered user. Could someone redirect both username links to User:Example, as is standard practice on project pages? 2605:6000:E963:6A00:919B:487F:8C2F:1964 (talk) 15:10, 8 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
