Template:User talk criticism/doc

This template is meant to be used on user talk pages of users who would like others to be aware that they do not mind being criticized.

Editing

When editing this template be aware that its intended use is for users to communicate a preference to other users. Changes made to the template should not change the meaning of any combination of parameters. For example, no change should be made that would result in a template with no set parameters expressing anything other than the user not being bothered by criticism. Parameters and parameter options may be added but all added parameters should be optional, with no effect if excluded when compared to before their addition. When parameter options are added old options should be kept and the result of their usage should remain the same.
