Edit request 9 July 2016
In the notation template section, can someone change all the "*" to ":" (asterisks to colons). Thanks. &mdash; Music1201  talk  18:28, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Since it appears that most people at ANRFC are using ":" instead of "*" to mark requests as done, this doesn't look controversial. Done. — Andy W.  ( talk  · ctb) 19:50, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Can we move the "" line from below to above the "ANRFC talkpage notation templates" box? I and other editors seem to miss this step, and for me it is because the line gets lost in the copyright disclaimer below the box. It might also be helpful to duplicate this instruction at the bottom of the edit notice at ANRFC (not part of this template), where it says "Once a discussion listed on this page has been closed, please add or ✅ and a note to the request here, after which the request will be archived." (Right above the TOC). Snuge purveyor (talk) 19:04, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Delete the yellow-highlighted portion. That portion is broken. The three templates listed there were deleted nine months ago. The fact that no one has complained that about the broken items strongly suggests that no one ever used them. |- |- My original post a few minutes ago was slightly incorrect.

Add purge button for 30 day timestamp. jamacfarlane (talk) 16:03, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: A in the editnotice will purge the editnotice. I don't think that is useful. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 19:31, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * User:Redrose64: but that was the point, you need to purge the editnotice to update this bit:
 * The default length of a formal request for comment is 30 days (opened on or before ). jamacfarlane (talk) 13:34, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Huge expansion
. where was discussed? It means that upon clicking an "edit" link I now find that the whole of the edit box is off screen, so need to scroll down to reach the start of the box. Editnotices should not overwhelm, they need to be short in order to get the point across. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 23:55, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , the giant editnotice was already there (and has been since 2014), just as code copied and pasted from the page itself. I just changed it to a transclusion so that it stays synced with the page, which seemed fairly uncontroversial, as the only change it made to the output was to make it reflect the tweaks to the instructions since 2014.
 * Regarding your point that perhaps the giant editnotice shouldn't be there at all, as I noted in the edit summary, I'm sympathetic and down to discuss. There's a question that I'm not sure is fully resolved about to what extent instructions should be on pages vs. in editnotices. DYK nominations, e.g. [1], are another example of a giant editnotice with detailed instructions that should probably be trimmed. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 00:17, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
