Expiry setting

Hello. This template when used on page editnotices always displays the message that the expiry time has not been set, even in cases when it actually has been provided (e.g. Template:Editnotices/Page/Dual Survival). Is there any way to fix this? --TadejM my talk 14:56, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to me we are missing the most important wikilink for the paragraph about contentious material. We should link that term to WP:BLPREMOVE. Agree? Jason Quinn (talk) 15:42, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and my two changes to wikilinks related to this. Jason Quinn (talk) 13:04, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

– Following the improvements discussed in MediaWiki talk:Common.js#Removing magic editintros and Template talk:Editnotices/Namespace/Main#Interface-protected edit request on 6 February 2024, these templates are now loaded as regular WP:EDITNOTICEs rather than as editintros (which are generally used in preloads). – SD0001 (talk) 03:58, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Seems reasonable. Galobtter (talk) 00:37, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suppresses link to Page notice

When this template is added to an article via the Living persons category it suppresses the link to that article's Page notice. (When it is added manually to the Page notice, it works fine - it's just the automatic addition that creates the problem.) If wanting to edit the Page notice there is a workaround of temporarily deleting the Living persons category, making the edit, and then restoring the category. But it would be more useful if the link wasn't suppressed in the first place. Anyone know how to fix this? SilkTork (talk) 11:47, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SilkTork: Also noticing this, have you figured a workaround out by chance? EggRoll97 (talk) 02:04, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
EggRoll97. Yes, the workaround is to temporarily remove the Living persons category from the article page, save, then, when you go back in, the Page notice link is restored, so you can make the edit. When finished you can return the Living persons category to the article page. SilkTork (talk) 04:10, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm noticing this same issue. My workaround is to navigate to Template:Editnotices/Page/PAGENAME to create or edit the editnotice. Pinging template creator and primary contributor Cenarium, any way to fix this issue? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:00, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One option could be something like <div class="sysop-show templateeditor-show pagemover-show" style="text-align:right;font-size:90%">[[Template:Editnotices/Page/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|Create additional editnotice]]</div> at the bottom of the template. This would give a link to people with the technical ability to create an editnotice, but otherwise not display. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 17:46, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Go for it Tamzin. SilkTork (talk) 19:12, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I'm no longer active, but I've briefly looked into the matter. The way the BLP editintro gets loaded has been changed following this discussion. You may want to ask around at Module:Mainspace editnotice. Cenarium (talk) 17:56, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like a more general issue not restricted to just BLP editnotice. Even pages with the TFA editnotice don't have the Page notice link now. – SD0001 (talk) 07:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A random look at other editnotices on Category:Editnotice templates, and it appears that those notices which are placed manually are fine, while BLP editnotice and TFA editnotice added by bot (or transcluded?) are causing problems. SilkTork (talk) 09:35, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, BLP and TFA notices get added through namespace notice at Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Main – which is also the place where the fix likely needs to be made. Might want to move the discussion to that talk page for visibility. – SD0001 (talk) 17:18, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have left a note there. SilkTork (talk) 08:10, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 13 June 2024

The first paragraph ends saying "see WP:BLPSPS and WP:BLPSELFPUB". I propose to change it to "see Avoid self-published sources and Using the subject as a self-published source". It's the same links, but written in natural language rather than Wikipedian jargon. Cambalachero (talk) 17:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No objections to the spirit of the request. I think we should alert editors that they are not being sent to article space by saying something indicative like "see Wikipedia's guidelines on self-published sources and using the subject as a self-published source". – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:38, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Jonesey95's wording. SilkTork (talk) 07:49, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Me also – and I especially like piping the present shortcuts with that wording (I've had a love/hate relationship with redirects for a long time now, mostly love tho'). So yeah, I think both editors Jonesey95 & Cambalachero have hit on something good here! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 08:26, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alejandro Vallega is a Chilean born Italo-Latin American artist, writer and philosopher. He began his formal art studies at the age of twelve in San Luis, Argentina with Argentinean photographer Luis martin. He studied painting and filmmaking at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Those years of intense technical study also brought him to question the content and significance of the work of art. Those questions led him to complete a BA degree on Liberal Arts at the “Great Books Program,” St. John’s College. He then went on to deepen his studies further, receiving an MA in philosophy from Boston University, and a PhD in philosophy with focus on aesthetics from the University of Vienna, Austria. He is currently Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oregon, and continues his activities in the visual arts with a studio in Eugene, Oregon, and a studio in Milano, Italy where he lives part of the year.

Fields Vallega’s philosophical work engages the aisthetic or pre-reflexive dimension of thought, such as emotion, affect, embodiment, memorial experiences, and the oneiric. His work extends to considering these dimensions as they work in the imaginaries that situate conceptual understanding, the determination of identities, and the limits and possibilities of human knowledge. He focuses on Ancient Greek philosophy, Continental European philosophy, and Latin American philosophy and popular and indigenous thought. (“Exordio /Exordium: for an Aesthetics of Liberation out of Latin America Experience,” Canadian Journal of Continental Philosophy, Vol. 18, number 1, Spring 2014, 125-140. Sense and Finitude: Encounters at the Limits of Art, Language, and the Political, Contemporary Continental Philosophy Series, SUNY Press, 2009 and 2010. He has been one of the leading figures in the development of decolonial aesthetics out of Latin American experiences and in the analysis of temporality as a fundamental liberatory dimension in contemporary thought. (Tiempo y Liberación, (Time and Liberation), (Serie Inter Pares, Editorial Akal, published simultaneously in Spain and Mexico, 2021). Latin American Philosophy from Identity to Radical Exteriority (Indiana University Press, Spring 2014).

Presently Vallega is Faculty Research Fellow of the Center for Gender and Africa Studies of the University of the Free State, South Africa. He has been co-director of the Collegium Phänomenologicum twice and is active member of the director's board. He served in the past as president of North American Society for Philosophical Hermeneutics. Among his editorial activities, he was the editor of the English version of Enrique Dussel's Ethics of Liberation, and he is editor of the World Philosophies Series, published by Indiana University Press.(Ethics of Liberation: In the Age of Globalization and Exclusion by Enrique Dussel. Ed. and Trans. Alejandro A. Vallega. Tr. Eduardo Mendieta, Nelson Maldonado-Torres, Camilo Perez Bustillo, and Yolanda Angulo. (Duke University Press, February, 2013.)

Nagging is not good

I have stopped reading this note years ago. I recently ignored a useful warning because I thought it was this note. I see this note probably a dozen times a day, every day. Anyone who wants to keep a secret from regular editors should put it in this notice. Surely there is some way to stop this notice from being seen so many times? This notice might one day have NEW important information in it ... but no one will read it... do consider only showing it to new editors, only on Mondays, only once a day. Only where its the first edit that day? This would increase the number of people who read it IMO. Cheers Victuallers (talk) 15:36, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this needs to be a toggleable preference or automatically hidden based on edit count or something. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 04:15, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wording improvements

I've rewritten this template to streamline it as best as possible. You can see the proposed changes at Template:BLP editnotice/testcases. Please let me know if you have any feedback! Sdkb talk 00:39, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
