Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Issue

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected project page at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Issue. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please reword "not dead yet" -- yeah I get that it's a cute Monty Python reference, but I'd like to think that Wikipedia has outgrown such childishness. Mike R (talk) 19:54, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
