On 10 February 2024, it was proposed that this page be moved from Template:BLP editintro to Template:BLP editnotice. The result of the discussion was moved.

Expiry setting[edit]

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]

Contentious material paragraph should link to WP:BLPREMOVE?[edit]

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[edit]

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]
