[edit] Major revision coming
A discussion has been ongoing at Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems#Template changes. This will result in a major change to how this template functions (converting to a version of the template that requires substitution). The change is pretty much ready to implement, but I am made nervous by a lack of commontary in the last couple of weeks on the subject. If you have comments on the issue, please, please come contribute to the discussion. I'm inclined to proceed with the change, but the last thing I want is to get a bunch of criticism after the fact that could have been addressed before-hand. - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:50, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Okay. Things are now in place. The core copyvio code template has been moved to this new name, and a subst-able wrapper has taken up home at the old name. Shifting the names like this means that users do not need to learn a new template name, they just need to start subst-ing the wrapper. And if they do not subst it, they'll get a nice large red warning message instead of the template that they expected.
- The wrapper was based off of a canibalized version of the {{prod}} template. One thing that the PROD template did that I preserved was to set up a series of parameters that include the date and time of the addition of the template. PROD uses this to categorize the pages automatically into appropriate date categories, amoung other things. These parameters are not currently in use by this core code template, but they are now being set, and in the future if someone wants to add code to this one to somehow make use of them, they will be there. - TexasAndroid (talk) 17:48, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Requested edit: Wikilink
The wikilink at the beginning of the template's first line ("If you have just labeled this page as a possible copyright infringement...") shouldn't be an external link. I have no idea how to make it appear as a wikilink, but I bet it's possible. --zenohockey (talk) 22:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
