    Edit request 29 April 2025

    [edit]

    The uw-error4 has the phrase "you vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information", whereas the uw-error4im has the phrase "if you continue to deliberately introduce factual errors into articles" instead of the one seen in uw-error4. Can somebody change this to the one seen in uw-error4 for consistency? Thanks.

     Not done: for a start, your suggested change is grammatically incorrect (by deliberately introduce). M.Bitton (talk) 21:55, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Unless you also change "introduce" to "introducing", then it's grammatically correct Cyber the tiger🐯 (talk) 19:27, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Uw-biog1, documentation

    [edit]

    Documentation of templates Template:Uw-biog1, Template:Uw-biog2, Template:Uw-biog3 (those I checked) include showing Multi-level user warning or notice templates, with clickable show field, which clicked shows other related templates.

    After reviewing what I wanted, I would like to hide that again (most of it was not related to task at hand), but couldn't find a clickable hide area (button?) to do it. I could get it hidden again only by reloading the page.

    Could the template used to show those related templates be used in a way to show a hide clickable area (button?) (and for all templates where this is used? Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 20:07, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Marjan Tomki SI: The "[hide]" link is there, but it might be off the right-hand side of your screen. After clicking "[show]", you should find that at the bottom of your browser window there is a scrollbar. Slide that to the right, so that the window contents move left. This will reveal the "[hide]" link. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:54, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Uw-toppost-section?

    [edit]

    Is there a warning template for someone posting a new comment at the top of a discussion section? If not, could {{uw-toppost}} be modified to add a section switch?

    I am referring to a situation such as this: [1] where a new different editor posts to the top of the section above the initiating comment.

    New block templates to go with certain "Uw-" multi-level warnings:

    [edit]

    I am creating new user block templates for certain actions that there are multi-level warnings for. Examples include:

    @Mario662629: You're not an administrator. Why would you need these? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:16, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure why, but I'm also worried about something bad happening to my account because of this. Anyways, this might be done just to have a block template for every multi-level user warning. Mario662629 (talk) 22:39, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mario662629: When an administrator blocks a user, they select an option from the following list:

    Your first two are not among these, and your third is covered by {{subst:Uw-disruptblock}}. The blocking policy goes into further detail. There is no one-to-one match between user warnings and block reasons, and there is not intended to be. I don't see why you might worry about something bad happening to your account. Have you been served warnings about any of these three potential issues? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 06:45, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Mario662629 (talk) 15:52, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I know that you're talking about templates on user talk pages. What I am saying is that each message usually pairs with a block reason. For instance, if an admin blocks with a reason of Vandalism, they will serve a {{subst:uw-vblock}}. Gaming the system is not, of itself, a reason to block.
    What I want to know is why you want them to be created (and I see that you have begun creating them yourself) when you are not, at present, an administrator. If we were short of appropriate block messages, an existing experienced administrator would surely have created them, but only when absolutely necessary. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:33, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Uw-coi

    [edit]

    Imo this template's output text is verbose and difficult to understand. Even for me, who's familiar with Wikipedia's COI policies and is a native English speaker, it's hard to parse. I think it could be significantly reworded to be more digestible even for English as second language speakers. grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 00:42, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    It doesn't really seem that way to me, but English is my primary language so perhaps I'm simply unable to see how it can be problematic. Are there changes you'd like to propose? DonIago (talk) 17:05, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template: Uw-blockindefnotalk

    [edit]

    Could you please do not italicize the word 'also' in the message to ensure the consistency? Thanks. 14.245.39.26 (talk) 04:26, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done: The three italicised instances of the word "also" only occur when preceded by the word "See", which is also italicised. I don't see why one should be de-italicised and not the other. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:09, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Missing (?) level 4 warning template

    [edit]

    I've noticed that there is no level 4 warning for introducing incorrect pronouns, Uw-pronouns. I've used level 4 vandalism to substitute. I wondered if there was a reason for only level 1,2 and 3? Knitsey (talk) 14:48, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
