Template talk:Under discussion

WP:SELF and this tag
I just noticed that this tag was being used on two main namespace articles. Per WP:SELF, I removed it from one and requested its removal from the other (as the latter article is protected). Two out of maybe fifty transclusions isn't bad, but perhaps a noincluded notice should be placed on this template's main page, indicating it is intended for project namespace only? justen  10:18, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * This tag is intended for project pages, not articles. Such a notice should be useful, yes.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  12:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk page linking
Is it worth adding a parameter to this template to allow the talk page link to go directly to the relevant section, in line with other dispute-related templates? I could be bold, but thought I'd look for opinions first. SamBC(talk) 11:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

RfC: Under discussion to encourage consensus building, discourage bold edits
I propose that this template explicitly encourage consensus building, discourage bold edits until discussion has ended and link to Policies and guidelines. Joja lozzo  04:49, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Support - The tone of this template differs significantly from Template:Policy and Template:MoS-guideline. I would expect a page or section under discussion would benefit even more than usual from consensus building over bold editing but, while the Policy and MOS guideline templates emphasize consensus building without mentioning bold edits, this template never mentions consensus per se, casually suggests editors check the talk page, and suggests bold edits. Joja lozzo  05:11, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment This template says, "This page is the subject of a current discussion on the talk page."  I agree that bold edits in a section being discussed are a problem, and I agree with encouraging the use of WP:Consensus, but this template is so vague as to be a truism for all discussion on the talk page, and not all discussions on a talk page apply to the entire project page.

Oppose: The template is fine as it is. In many cases it is ignored anyway, but to use it discourage any editing is wrong, whether the point is under discussion or not. I can't see a significant difference between regular editing and "bold". Vandals can be dealt with accordingly already.-- Djathink imacowboy  22:33, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Oppose: Most articles are under discussion at some point. And templates added often are not removed when should be. Most do not merit the level of restriction that you propose. There ARE some that do and I have edited those and there should be a template like that for such controversial articles. If there is, do tell. This template can link to it as a "see also."

"Section"/"status" parameters
It doesn't seem like the "section" and "status" parameters can be used at the same time, as it seems that if one parameter is used as the first one, the other is interpreted as a shortcut link. This should be fixed. --V2Blast (talk) 08:10, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
