Template-protected edit request on 17 June 2020

Please add the following:

{{#ifeq:{{PAGESIZE:{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}|0|{{editnotice
| header = STOP
| headerstyle = font-size: 2rem; font-weight: bold; color: red;
| text = This is a killswitch page for a {{user|Yapperbot}} task, ''{{SUBPAGENAME}}''. If this page has ''any'' content, it will cause the ''{{SUBPAGENAME}}'' task to stop functioning. This may have unexpected consequences, and will cause an alert to be sent to the bot operator.

'''Before adding any content to this page:'''
# '''Check that the task "''{{SUBPAGENAME}}''" actually exists''', and that it is operating. To do this, you can check [[User:Yapperbot#jobs|Yapperbot's user page]].
# Make sure that the problem with the task is significant enough to require shutting off the entire task. '''It is strongly recommended that you consult with {{user|Naypta}} or a sysop before adding content to this page''', if it is possible to do so.
# If you determine that the task really does need to be shut off, and prevented from restarting, please '''ensure that the content you add is descriptive of the problem'''. If the problem is urgent, you may wish to add some placeholder content and save the kill page, then re-edit the page with an explanation, but ''please do not just add text to this page without an explanation as to why''.

Once there is content on this page, the bot task will no longer perform any further edits outside of the bot's userspace, and will automatically shut itself off if it is restarted. An alert will be sent by email to the bot operator.

}}|{{editnotice|text=Blank the page to re-enable the ''{{SUBPAGENAME}}'' Yapperbot task. This will cause the bot to start operating again on its next scheduled run.|image=File:Information icon.svg}}}}

Apologies for the second TPER on this - events have transpired such that I don't think I wrote the notice sufficiently clearly. That's on me, so sorry to trouble some poor template editor again :)

Before the sentence beginning If this page has any content, please insert It should be used only for issues that require '''immediate action''' to prevent serious problems.

Underneath the line beginning Check that the task, please insert:

# '''Make sure that the task is malfunctioning.''' If the task is doing what it's supposed to, you just don't like what it does, ''do not kill the task''; instead, consult with {{user|Naypta}} and/or make a post at [[WP:BOTN]].

Please then also change If the problem is urgent, you may wish to in the last numbered item to In very urgent cases, you may wish to.

Thank you so much! Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 08:32, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
