Edit request 5 December 2024

This edit request to Template:Di-orphaned non-free use-notice has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change:

The wording of Template:Di-orphaned non-free use-notice probably needs to be changed to reflect the change in name of its parent template Template:Di-orphaned non-free use. The wording "may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use" isn't really correct because Wikipedia's non-free content use policy and the concept of fair use aren't exactly the same as explained in WP:NFC#Background; Wikipedia's policy is actually more restrictive than fair use. So, it seems more appropriate for the template's text to read as follows: "may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use", "may only be used on Wikipedia in accordance with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy" or something similar.

Template-protected edit request on 18 February 2025

This edit request to Template:Db-deleted-multiple has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

WP:T5 support should be added to this template per the instructions at Wikipedia:Speedy deletion/Creating a new criterion since {{db-t5-deleted}} exists. I've provided the code for this in TM:db-deleted-multiple/sandbox and have made the same change to the unprotected TM:db-notice-multiple. Nickps (talk) 23:38, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Adding obscured page link to db-attack-notice

At this ANI thread we had an issue where TheTechnician27 sent a G10 notice to Trade, who wasn't responsible for the content at issue, and Trade could not figure out what page was being nominated. I understand the logic behind not including the page's title in the warning: Often, G10able pages have titles that would need to be removed or revdelled. However, we do have a way to link to a page without including its title: Special:Redirect. Would there be any objection to, in {{db-attack-notice}}, changing "A page you created" to [[Special:Redirect/page/{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>PAGEID:{{{1}}}}}|A page you created]]? This would generate output like A page you created. Note that this link will stop working once the page is deleted, which is a good thing: See Special:Redirect/page/79982707, which uses the former page ID for User:Tamzin/deletion test but no longer works. As far as I can see, the only downside to doing this would be a very slight visibility boost to the CSD'd page, but that page will already be in CAT:CSD and any number of things that mirror it; I think the pros outweigh the cons of giving a link for the notified user to click to see which page is nominated. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 06:21, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Unit Mango: Please don't paste code blobs into the talk page. They are hard to understand and even more difficult to test. Please use the sandbox as directed above; see also WP:TESTCASES. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:47, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They also break the rest of the page, so this is definitely a case of

Not done: please make your requested changes to the template's sandbox first; see WP:TESTCASES. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:48, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
