Template talk:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion

Template-protected edit request on 9 April 2015
Per official policy at the actual page and per consensus obtained at Wikipedia talk:Requests for undeletion, I would like this editnotice to be created with the contents of User:Gparyani/sandbox (without the user sandbox template, of course).

 * There's already a group notice for RFU at Template:Editnotices/Group/Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion, as well as Requests for undeletion/Intro, which is shown when the inputbox gadget is used. Perhaps we should merge these in some way? Alakzi (talk) 23:54, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, and also add in my sandbox. Gparyani (talk) 00:23, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Is there something you want me to do? Alakzi (talk) 01:20, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Just create the page notice; it will show up along with the other notices. There isn't any overlap between the two notices. Gparyani (talk) 03:35, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done. I've added it to Template:Editnotices/Group/Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. Alakzi (talk) 11:00, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

A11? Really?
I'm pretty sure this was meant to be G11 ("Unambiguous advertising or promotion"), but just in case—does WP:REFUND really get that many requests for A11 ("Obviously invented") restorations? —Cryptic 23:47, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't recall ever having seen one, no. § FreeRangeFrog croak 23:50, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Please change "Once you finish improving your article" to "Once you finish improving the article" per WP:OWN. Thanks! HouseBlastertalk 19:30, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: No benefit to users has been provided. Procedures that can only be filled out by a certain group are not usually hidden without reason. There doesn't seem to be a benefit to stop someone with a passing interest from reading what template responses are available to admins. Most places publicly show responses to requests. See WT:MMS (In the edit notice) & Criteria for speedy deletion (On the main page). Terasail [✉️] 01:22, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The main benefit in my mind is reducing the amount of banner blindness / information pollution, which makes people more likely to read the instructions. Unlike the two examples you listed, REFUND is frequently used by newer editors, who are probably overwhelmed by the laundry list present (keep in mind Requests for undeletion/Intro is also displayed to editors who use the inputbox, which is most of them). I know I would be. Is this going to solve the problem? No. Will it help? I believe so. Looking at the editnotices again, I wonder if the third editnotice would be better placed inside of the instructions for attendant dropdown. After all, it is an instruction addressed to the attendant. The benefits of this change would be the same as the aforementioned proposal. HouseBlastertalk 02:24, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * While I see the concern for banner blindness, the section you are proposing to hide is a collapsed section and in a sense already hidden. Therefore banner blindness (The act of ignoring banners) doesn't apply since it takes minimal screen space. I have reordered the elements so that the instructions come last to minimise any concerns for banner blindness. Terasail [✉️] 15:51, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I am more than happy with the changes you made. Definitely more impactful than hiding a closed drop-down menu for non-admins. Thank you! HouseBlastertalk 16:11, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
