Template:Wider attention → Requests for comment/Topic areas – It would make more sense as a WP:RFC subpage than a template, and the current title hasn’t fit the content for years. Relisted. Number  5  7  17:07, 13 February 2015 (UTC) 174.141.182.82 (talk) 10:08, 4 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment or Template: Wikipedia Requests for comment - Topic areas would also work, it would clearly indicate the scope and use of the template. -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 06:34, 5 February 2015 (UTC)


 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:21, 8 February 2015 (UTC)


 * This template is transcluded several times. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:21, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirects don’t break transclusions. And I count three two non-Talk and non-User transclusions: WP:RFC and rfc documentation, and WP:Dispute resolution requests/RfC (which I’d suggest redirecting to WP:RFC, but that’s another matter) . —174.141.182.82 (talk) 00:37, 9 February 2015 (UTC)


 * You should not file a RMTR request when you'ved opened a proper move request; and waiting 1 day for responses to gauge support before filing the RMTR is highly improper; just follow the process. -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 04:33, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Your math’s off: 8 – 4 ≠ 1. I waited four days, not one, before trying WP:RMT. In that time, yours was the only response. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 09:08, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Please read the instructions at WP:RM where the open period is 7 days not 4. And "1 day" is a figurative statement, not a literal one. IOW, it's much less than the standard waiting period. -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 03:54, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * That page also instructs to not do an RM if the move is not likely to be controversial, and to make a technical request instead (WP:NOTRM). The move seemed noncontroversial to me, so I did, canceling the RM since I thought it had been an unnecessary mistake. But it was contested after all, so here we are with the RM reopened. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 04:39, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Oppose current proposed title. The template should remain in the template namespace because it basically serves as a navigation box for the RFC subpages. If anything, it should be a concise name like Template:RFC topics. Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:04, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I’d support that one. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 22:40, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer adding a Wikipedia specification, since it isn't about RFC such as IETF RFCs. Template:Wikipedia RFC topics or something -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 03:43, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Or that one. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 20:22, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
