Hi and welcome to Wikipedia!

The "today" parameter for former countries (or empires) is not to be used when the number of present-day countries exceeds four. This was the result of a discussion back in 2016, see Template talk:Infobox former country/Archive 9. TompaDompa (talk) 13:50, 18 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Come on, now. These edits are not in keeping with the collaborative nature of Wikipedia. Your edits constitute WP:Edit warring and go against long-standing WP:Consensus (see above). If you think the consensus should change or that it should not apply to the pages Portuguese Empire and Spanish Empire for whatever reason, you need to convince other editors (my suggestion would be to try to do that at Template talk:Infobox country).

Edit warring
Your recent editing history at Spanish Empire shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.Confine this to the talk page, please. - Donald Albury 14:37, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
