Template:User CWES

 * – (View MfD) &#8203;

This template currently links with a piped link to Obsessive-compulsive disorder, as does its documentation. Previosly a redirect was used, but was deleted after an RfD.

Userboxes that mock medical conditions fail WP:UBCR and should be deleted. We have a lot of editors with OCD, and it can affect their editing (see WP:OCD). Equating someone's love of editing Wikipedia to an illness that kills people—as if it's a good thing—is not acceptable. ― Tartan357  Talk 03:51, 18 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Note, I'm one of the more highly prolific editors, who has at one time or another been indirectly described as a 'pedia addict, psychotic & other things. GoodDay (talk) 17:26, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as someone with a (different) diagnosed mental illness often similarly trivialzed. As long as they aren't being directly insulting I roll my eyes and move on. Not in particularly good taste but not a big deal either, in my opinion. At worst, just remove the piped link. Rusalkii  (talk) 21:44, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Removing the references to OCD would also be an agreeable outcome of this MfD to me. ― Tartan357  Talk 01:44, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy close. Should be resolved on the talk page or with the template creator, and no such effort has been made.  —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:31, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
