Edit request on 17 December 2012[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

As far as I can tell, the change to this template made by SchuminWeb on November 19 was never discussed, and thus there was no consensus for it established. This makes it a Bold edit. I would like to take the next step in WP:BRD and Revert it, but I cannot, since I am not an admin. Therefore I request that an admin revert SchuminWeb's edit of November 19. Thanks.

Done. See discussion at User talk:SchuminWeb#Changes in the wording of "Non-free" templates. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 10:39, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The template contains an extra space after the "Template:Non-free use rationale album cover" link that needs to be removed.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:42, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This template can be switched to use {{Uploader information}} if a change in the order of the bulleted list is acceptable; I've drafted a new version of the template at Template:Non-free album cover/sandbox. Yes, I know I can edit this template myself, but I'd like at least one other person agreeing. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:09, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: looks good to me, but what are the advantages? I'm not too keen of the box within a box format, but this has nothing to do with your proposal — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:28, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can I suggest that this is discussed somewhere centrally, rather than on a dozen separate edit requests? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:30, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MSGJ:The most important one I see is that using a single standard template makes it easier to apply mass changes should they be needed, and to construct new ones if they are needed. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:32, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno, where are such under-the-hood changes that change template code but not really their appearance normally discussed? Template talk:Uploader information has far too few watchers for a centralized discussion. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:30, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I am happy for you to proceed Jo-Jo. If the box within a box can be eliminated at the same time, then so much the better — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:20, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MSGJ, that just requires moving everything from |below= outside of the {{Imbox}}. --Gonnym (talk) 15:38, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is now a discussion here. Regarding changing the box, that's a separate question IMO. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 14:02, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: I see no opposition to your plan. Do you plan to make these changes yourself? I have disabled the request. If for some reason you want someone else to copy the sandbox over, please reactivate — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:19, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've goen ahead and implemented the changes on the other templates as well. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 14:32, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
