Protected edit request on 1 June 2026

Add support for the redirect= editnotice parameter for Template:Contentious topics/editnotice, Template:COVID-19 AE/Edit notice, Template:Gs/editnotice, Template:Editnotice 0RR, and Template:Contentious topics/gmo editnotice. Template:Contentious topics/page restriction editnotice and Template:Contentious topics/Arab-Israeli editnotice already have one. Actually, the code should be reformatted so that all the unset parameters accepted by {{editnotice}} can be passed to CT and GS editnotices, just like the latter two editnotices. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 09:11, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Note: I've marked this as a template-protected edit request. Implementation requires an admin or template editor. Kodning 🌸 (talk) 03:09, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

I have removed Template:COVID-19 AE/Edit notice, Template:Contentious topics/gmo editnotice and Template:Editnotice 0RR because they don't appear to be protected. Would you like to edit those ones yourself? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:06, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Done. I figured a template editor could get them all in one go. Hopefully I didn't screw something up Kodning 🌸 (talk) 20:45, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Partly done: Template:COVID-19 AE/Edit notice, Template:Contentious topics/gmo editnotice, Template:Editnotice 0RR. Kodning 🌸 (talk) 20:44, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

 Done for Template:Contentious topics/editnotice. To fix TM:Gs/editnotice, you need to update Module:Sanctions. Please sandbox the change at Module:Sanctions/sandbox and make an edit request at Template talk:Gs. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:42, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request for grammar

Most of the values do not end with full stops within the quotes. Only the 1,000 words and RSCR keys have values that end with full stops. The values are complete sentences. In a template, it can be considered poor grammar. I request that full stops be added to the rest of the values in the JSON object so the contentious topics templates have correct grammar when multiple items are selected. Z.

 Done :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:42, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Can someone summarize the recent changes to alert/first?

For a required notice, the changes seem suspect. It now gives a welcome message that's not always appropriate, and does not show up in the logs to check if another has already been given. What's going on? --Hipal (talk) 16:26, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the documentation on this page hasn't been updated. There is no longer a requirement for a specific first notification. isaacl (talk) 16:46, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

 Updated. I have also written a new FAQ at WP:NOMOREAWARE. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:33, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you both! --Hipal (talk) 17:54, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
