Template talk:Update section

Shorten text

May be can make this template smaller? Asiaworldcity (talk) 15:56, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

I propose to remove the words ", and remove this template when finished" from the text of this template. 1. Like in {{Update}} 2. It is always the intention that maintenance tags be removed after the issues are fixed, and yet we never write this. Debresser (talk) 23:56, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Done. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 11:03, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Edit requests: standardize section templates! Add Category:Wikipedia section templates. And it's not showing on mobile Wikipedia.

All section templates should be standardized to made them look like {{Unreferenced section}}, {{Refimprove section}}, {{Original research section}} and {{Summarize section}}.

→ The style of this template needs to be changed a bit to fit those other templates, it needs the orange border removed and a left-border added etc.

---

Furthermore the new Category:Wikipedia section templates should be added to the template.

And lastly I just checked it on my mobile device and I can see the note neither on the mobile version of Wikipedia nor the mobile app. I'm not sure if this is an issue of the template or a technical issue? Because article hatnotes seemed to always show fine - for them it says "Page issues" (which can be shown/expanded by a click on it) - hence for sections it should say "Section issues". If this is a template-level issue I'll create a separate thread on that later so that this edit request can be resolved in its entirety right now.

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. Also, {{edit template-protected}} is usually not required for edits to the documentation, categories, or interlanguage links of templates using a documentation subpage. Use the 'edit' link at the top of the green "Template documentation" box to edit the documentation subpage. — JJMC89 (T·C) 05:19, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Reason field

This should have a reason field like some other templates do so that I can explain what exactly needs updating. DemonDays64 (talk) 06:16, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

It's already part of the template, it just wasn't documented. I've fixed that.

Most cleanup templates that suggest the use of |reason= don't actually do anything with it, it's just a means of making a short note explaining the problem that can be placed close to the problem concerned. {{update}} (and hence {{update section}}) is one of the exceptions, in that it puts the content of |reason= parameter after the text "This section needs to be updated. In particular:". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:00, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Add a nocat param

Add a |nocat similar to {{uc}} to suppress automatic addition of an article to the Category:All_Wikipedia_articles_in_need_of_updating category. Qwerty284651 (talk) 22:32, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
