Edit notice creation request

[edit]

The edit notice is to prevent changes to the template that would change the meaning of what is displayed by people using it before the change. PhantomTech (talk) 01:28, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit template-protected}} template. Please show a consensus that such a template is needed. Thank you. — {{U|Technical 13}} (etc) 02:05, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Technical 13: Isn't consensus only needed for controversial changes? Since the template this is for was just moved into the template namespace what makes this change controversial, or do all edit notice changes need consensus? If it does need consensus is a proposal being uncontested for a long enough time considered consensus? As a new template I doubt many users will notice the proposal without something like an RfC which, for something this small, seems like it would be unnecessary.

  • A link to any discussion would be good. It kind of works like protecting a page to me, if there has been no cause for adding such a message (it's new, was just moved like you said), then there is no cause for a preemptive notice. :) — {{U|Technical 13}} (etc) 14:03, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, didn't know that, thanks. PhantomTech (talk) 17:44, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
