Template talk:User COI

Bolding

I think that "conflict of interest" should be bolded, rather than "publicly declared". I'll make the change shortly if there are no objections. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 07:10, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

I'd actually like to make some changes to the wording, too. It's currently This user has made a public declaration indicating that they have a conflict of interest with regard to the following Wikipedia article: X. I think it can be simplified to This user has publicly declared that they have a conflict of interest with the Wikipedia article X or, for multiple articles, This user has publicly declared that they have a conflict of interest with these Wikipedia articles: X Y Z. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 07:20, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Code at Template:UserboxCOI/sandbox, with testcases showing no issues. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 08:32, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Regarding pronouns in the userbox

Hi, I wanted to ask about this use of pronouns on this userbox template. I don’t see anything in the source code that replaces “they” with “he” or “she”, (e.g. this user is declaring he has a COI), but I’ve seen the change in action when I placed the userbox on my page. Is the ubx on the documentation page simply transcluded and outdated, or does the template replace g/n pronouns where possible? I don’t have much knowledge in regards to template editing, so I’d appreciate the clarification. Nordberg21205 (talk) 03:00, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

@Nordberg21205, in the source code, there's Template:They have, which dynamically changes the text based on a user's gender, as indicated in their preferences. I hope that helps; feel free to lmk if you have any further questions! {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 08:06, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Dark mode support

I've made this compatible with the dark mode. Please check my sandbox edit and apply if good. McDutchie (talk) 02:46, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done in Special:Diff/1321108857. Note that CSS variables need fallback values to make the colors work in other skins – see skin selector at the top of Template:User COI/testcases. —⁠andrybak (talk) 19:22, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

Noted. Thanks for that. McDutchie (talk) 19:54, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

Change id image px size from 60px to 46px as its a commonly used size across all of wikipedia userboxes. (even if it isn't in MOS:INFOBOX) JoBo Gamer 15:24, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
