– I added  functionality to this template, which will prefill the timestamp parameter. Since the "core" template fills the timestamp when substituted, the wrapper template is no longer needed. Awesome Aasim 15:44, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Template:Copyvio/core → Template:Copyvio
 * Template:Copyvio → Deleted to make way for page move
 * Note: templates with non-redirected content, such as Template:Copyvio, are ineligible to be proposed titles in move requests unless they, too, are formally dispositioned. "Template:Copyvio → Deleted to make way for page move" has been added to this request to meet that requirement. If this is incorrect, please modify and be sure to factor in "bot considerations".

 * @Awesome Aasim - Just a procedural question here- the title you've proposed has non-redirecting content. For this request to actually be listed that template would also have to be moved. Do you have a proposed target for that? If so, could you add it to the template (WP:EXPLICIT). Or if the proposed target is just some sort of duplicate or the fulfill the same process, you can just list it as Deleted to make way for the move. I don't really know how the templates side of this works, but I do know that the way this is proposed currently is causing a minor problem with the bots on the RM side. estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:40, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I have made a post at WP:VPT to see if someone with technical expertise can have a look at this. On the face of it, I worry that moving as proposed which would involve deleting a template that has existed since 2004 will cause some sort of issue but every chance I'm wrong.

 * I just tested it and seems to work okay. The only issue I am seeing is the HTML comment which is at the top of /core is now being pasted onto articles, (see ). @Awesome Aasim can you comment on whether this was intentional? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:41, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @MSGJ, I moved the comment into the wrapper and it works fine with substitution now, see here. NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 11:40, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Wording change aimed at avoiding lint errors
Not including copyvio/bottom causes missing end tag lint errors. This hasn't really been an issue thus far, as this error category is considered low priority and copyright issues would generally get cleaned up way before anyone would get to fixing the lint errors caused by them. However, since all higher priority lint error categories have been cleaned up in mainspace, this is starting to change. Although there are still 70,000+ unfixed errors, the ones involving tags with higher disruptive potential for layout like &lt;table&gt; and &lt;div&gt;  are very close to being eliminated with only ~1000 errors left, dropping daily by ~100. Which means the copyvio lint errors are starting to surface, so helping to avoid them has become something to address. Gamapamani (talk) 09:33, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The template used to close itself properly without any need to manually add a  or anything. That functionality seems to have been removed in the overhaul of the template. Can it be restored, please? I mean, if the template is causing an error, let's stop it from doing so, not change the wording, right? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:15, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm all for bringing back that functionality if it existed previously. I have no involvement with this template or it's subject matter other than fixing the lint errors caused by it, so I addressed that part. Gamapamani (talk) 11:34, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
