Template talk:Editnotices/Page/List of common misconceptions

Number "1" in the list: "misconception's" → "misconception." Also, add commas after "misconception" and after "topic." –– Ɔ Ȿ ♭ ௵  ☎ ℡ ☎  06:02, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting question.svg Question: I think that it's intended to be a possessive. How about "The topic which includes the common misconception has an article of its own." -- Red rose64 (talk) 10:31, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It is a possessive, but it's badly phrased regardless. "Include" isn't a great term either. I've switched it for the simpler "The topic the misconception is related to has an article of its own." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Gray (talk • contribs) 18:27, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

(1) Immediately after "text=" insert a first line to say: "Whether an item should be included is often a contentious issue. It is preferred to propose new items on the talk page first." (2) change existing "must at least fulfill" to "should at least fulfill"  signed, Willondon (talk)  17:54, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

I believe there is consensus for both changes at Talk:List of common misconceptions. signed, Willondon (talk) 17:59, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. I think the current version is an improvement. However, it's a little awkward in that it recommends proposal on the talk page in two places for (perhaps) two different reasons. I'd suggest the following language:


 * looks as if this needs further discussion. Suggest that it be brought up on the article's talk page to draw more attention.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'r there 16:05, 20 July 2022 (UTC)


 * @Paine Ellsworth Apologies for not addressing this sooner. Somehow I missed seeing this discussion and didn't see it until now - I was not deliberately ignoring it.
 * That said, the article is currently under discussion at AfD and in a few days there might not be an article. So, I'll wait until the dust has settled to initiate the discussion. Mr. Swordfish (talk) 02:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: Revert 1) on previous edit request. As flagged on that entry by P.I. Eslworth, after implementing the change, the consensus that the text be included on the edit notice was lost as the discussion continued, after the change was made.

 * As per the last thread, we should wait until after the article survives AfD before investing any more time in tweaking the edit note and inclusion criteria.
 * As it stands now, the edit notice and inclusion criteria notices are not in synch with each other; my opinion is that they should say the same things, so both this template and the inclusion template are ripe for a reconciliation. I'll start a thread about the inclusion criteria and edit notice if and when the AfD nomination fails. Mr. Swordfish (talk) 02:30, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Apologies for my ignorance on this subject, but it appears that the inclusion criteria at the top of the talk page is editable and not a template like the edit notice. Is there a way to just include the edit notice on the talk page so the two are always in sync?  Yeah, off topic in this thread, but I'm curious. Mr. Swordfish (talk) 02:36, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a great idea to wait until the AfD is done. I've set it to answered, and I'll reopen it when / if the AfD doesn't go through. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 04:14, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

We have reached (at least a temporary) consensus on the talk page for the inclusion criteria. In particular, we'd like the inclusion criteria listed on the talk page and in the edit notice to be the same. See Talk:List_of_common_misconceptions for the proposed language. Thanks.

 * Here's the wording from the notice on the talk page:


 * Hopefully, someone with admin rights can edit the edit note to reflect these changes before too long. Thanks. Mr. Swordfish (talk) 15:26, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
