I did some work in Module:Sanctions/sandbox (and Module:Sanctions/data/sandbox) to add support for ArbCom sanctions to the module. I want to suggest to ArbCom that maybe they use this or a similar module for contentious topics? It would reduce the amount of overhead from the current system of templates and whatnot when a sanction is added, modified, or removed, as well as allow for one set of templates to be used for both community and arbitration designated contentious topics. There is consensus at Special:PermaLink/1219827352#RfC:_Converting_all_current_and_future_community_discretionary_sanctions_to_(community_designated)_contentious_topics_procedure to update the terminology used for community sanctions, but no consensus for the specific details. I just wanted to bring this up as having single templates able to handle a wide variety of cases is better than having multiple fragmented templates only able to handle single cases.

placed-date
parameter that would need to be supported and doesn't seem to be supported in that module. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 11:58, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
buildFirstAlert
method has been modified slightly. Is also seems to need further changes if this template was used for community first alerts. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 22:02, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Russo-Ukrainian War is, unsurprisingly, tagged as a contentious topic. I'm trying to use the warning template over a 5RR issue, but it requires a magic code and I can't see one listed for the Russian invasion. Thanks Andy Dingley (talk) 10:17, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously fine if someone can come up with a more succinct way to put this, but as it stands the wording doesn't quite match with what's actually required. Kinsio (talk ★ contribs) 23:58, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

be logged in to an extended confirmed account
for the sake of concision and let the link do the detailed explaining. (I'd appreciate feedback on that idea btw, @SilverLocust, Johnuniq, and Paine Ellsworth.) I just didn't necessarily want to assume that it was okay to throw out the explicit mention of the numbers with my proposal here and my bold edits to other templates. (I edited a few essays and such too, but obviously I feel a bit more comfortable going into explanatory detail in those cases so there's less of an issue.) Kinsio (talk ★ contribs) 12:04, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]I think it might be a good idea to at least link the "logged in" phrase, as in:
You must be [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Autoconfirmed and confirmed users|logged in]], have 10 edits and an account age of 4 days
andYou must be [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Extended confirmed users|logged in]], have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days
...which would appear the same except for the linking. The hyphen isn't needed in the "logged in" phrase, so I omitted it. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 07:56, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days
and have 10 edits and an account age of 4 days
into links as well. Kinsio (talk ★ contribs) 12:30, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
