Not really vandalism
[edit]@Vanisaac I can understand that my edits may look weird from the diff screen (especially since I forgot to use edit summaries in this instance), but this was a simple improvement to the template's code that didn't really affect its output in a meaningful way.
If you try to restore my changes, you'll see that {{subst:Merge from CfD}} has a slightly updated look (more in line with similar relist templates) and a slightly better explanation of what happened compared to the old version. You can read the documentation of the template for more information; i updated that as well. Do I have your permission to restore the edits? FaviFake (talk) 22:16, 28 September 2026 (UTC)
- @FaviFake: What the heck is going on? I'm seeing Lorem ipsum cruft being added and an XfD template being substituted in. Where was this disucssed? VanIsaac, GHTV contrabout 22:19, 28 September 2026 (UTC)
- @Vanisaac The lorem ipsum is only displayed on the template's page, of course, as is customary with these kinds of templates. You can remove it if you want, it doesn't affect the template's output. And this is already a XfD template (its name is literally "Merge from CfD").This was a simple change to bring the template in line with the other relisting templates and ensure their formatting is similar. This way, we can avoid having to separately maintain several independent copy-pasted templates. As I said, if you actually try to restore my changes and paste
{{subst:Merge from CfD}}somewhere, I bet you won't even notice the subtle improvements. FaviFake (talk) 22:23, 28 September 2026 (UTC)- You did everything possible to make that look like someone doing a test edit, but then I saw that you have 26k edits over the last three years, and got REALLY confused.

Yeah that's on me, I should've written something in the edit summary field. Sorry about that. Thanks for restoring the edits! FaviFake (talk) 22:32, 28 September 2026 (UTC)
