The meaning of this template response, for most ordinary people adding requests to the spam blacklist request page, is opaque. It should either read
Respond|deferred|Please post this to the Global blacklist
or
Respond|deferred|I have posted this to the Global blacklist
At the moment it is being used to mean either, which is unhelpful, especially when we’re asking people to deal with a different wiki that they may not realise even exists. • a frantic turtle 🐢 02:47, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before creating an edit request. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 03:21, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

- Since this is the template you want to change, then this talk page is a good place to start. Neutral messages that invite other editors to this page to give their opinions can be placed at other venues such as WT:WikiProject Templates and WT:Templates. P.I.
