Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit template-protected}} template. Too BITEy. Please, try something a little less in yo face. Thanks. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 15:21, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, @Technical 13. I based it on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Editnotices/Page/Getting_Things_Done . Can you point me to a non-bite-y one? Also, how do I establish consensus? On the article talk page? Just between you and I? Other? Thanks! SageGreenRider (talk) 16:48, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, @Technical 13, but it doesn't seem to be activated. I went to the page a clicked "Edit source" but the notice didn't appear. I tried browser cache refresh etc. but no joy. Any thoughts on what is going on? Thanks! SageGreenRider (talk) 17:35, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea why it isn't displaying. Maybe ask about it on WP:VPT. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 20:26, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! Looks like many of us were heading the VPT all at once here! I'll back off, sorry for any ec's: @Alakzi:; @Technical 13:. — xaosflux ^Talk 21:43, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No worries - I'd not noticed you guys were on it too. This is quite odd. Alakzi (talk) 21:46, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm far from a standard setup, but it seems like my page layout has other odd issues in ARTICLE EDIT view (not in edit view for any other pages) right now too. — xaosflux ^Talk 21:50, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
