Bolding
I think that "conflict of interest" should be bolded, rather than "publicly declared". I'll make the change shortly if there are no objections. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 07:10, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- I'd actually like to make some changes to the wording, too. It's currently
This user has made a public declaration indicating that they have a conflict of interest with regard to the following Wikipedia article: X
. I think it can be simplified toThis user has publicly declared that they have a conflict of interest with the Wikipedia article X
or, for multiple articles,This user has publicly declared that they have a conflict of interest with these Wikipedia articles: X Y Z

Regarding pronouns in the userbox
Hi, I wanted to ask about this use of pronouns on this userbox template. I don’t see anything in the source code that replaces “they” with “he” or “she”, (e.g. this user is declaring he has a COI), but I’ve seen the change in action when I placed the userbox on my page. Is the ubx on the documentation page simply transcluded and outdated, or does the template replace g/n pronouns where possible? I don’t have much knowledge in regards to template editing, so I’d appreciate the clarification. Nordberg21205 (talk) 03:00, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Nordberg21205, in the source code, there's Template:They have, which dynamically changes the text based on a user's gender, as indicated in their preferences. I hope that helps; feel free to lmk if you have any further questions! {{u|Sdkb}} talk 08:06, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
