Template talk:ANI-notice
Page contents not supported in other languages.
I've removed the following sentence from this template [1]:
The warning seemed unnecessary and inflammatory. --Tony Sidaway 13:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I changed the wording for the topic parameter [2] because it seemed to indicate that cliking on that link would bring you to the noticeboard section under which the discussion was, but instead it links a page with the name of the topic.
I thought of linking instead to WP:ANI/topic but this would cause problems because, if the discussion gets archived ,then it becomes a red link and it will confuse the heck out of unexperienced users. --Enric Naval (talk) 10:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's no criterion to notify users about an AN/I topic to which they "may have been involved," so why this pointless wording on this template?
It says, "You must notify any user that you discuss."
There is nothing about having to notify users who may have been involved in the issue. The template should state simply what is going on, rather than being so half-baked as to obscure facts.
It doesn't even due its stated purpose, "To inform editors that they are being discussed on the Administrative Noticeboards." It simply says an issue they may have been involved in is being discussed!
It's inaccurate. It doesn't serve its purpose. It's misleading.
"Hello, ANI-notice. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you."
How about changing it to say something along the lines of:
"Hello, ANI-notice. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding you. Thank you."

I've removed:
, {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>BASEPAGENAME}}
from the template as it isn't properly inserting the editor's name on the talk page. It was appearing as:
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}, This message is being ...
If someone knows how to make it work, please fix it and move it back. Thanks. Toddst1 (talk) 17:38, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't it read 'is currently' rather than 'currently is'? The former sounds better. raseaCtalk to me
Unless I am mistaken, this template didn't fill in the "The discussion is about the topic..." field properly here:
https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/?lang=en&title=User_talk%3AX_Nilloc_X&diff=492592516&oldid=492177327
I hand-fixed it here:
https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/?lang=en&title=User_talk%3AX_Nilloc_X&diff=492627494&oldid=492621151
If I am mistaken, please tell me where I went wrong. Thanks! --Guy Macon (talk) 05:26, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot see or check whether this template adds a section title. Please add to the documentation. -DePiep (talk) 11:28, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Over at my talk page, I recently put the ANI template because of an issue I raised at the noticeboard. I noticed there was no signature, and apparently, so did another user. I was wondering if it would be feasible to auto insert the signature at the end of the template. Thanks, TheOneSean | Talk to me 22:11, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I recently changed the template to read "Please participate in the current discussion" given that the template is intended to inform admins of their requirement to participate in the discussion rather than to simply inform them it is going on. It should probably be worded more strongly, such as "You are required to participate in the current discussion". Hyacinth (talk) 23:09, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me but is it possible for a senior editor to actually provide an example of a successful usage of the ' There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. ' code. Those of us - like me - who are inexperienced in the ways of Wiki editing may be unsure of how to use it, what terms should be included within the curly brackets and where the code should be placed (On the complaints page? On the complained against editor's talk page?). I cannot find a page on wikipedia that explains these things.
I hope my request is not too rudimentary. Hubertgrove (talk) 15:49, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

. Johnuniq (talk) 02:03, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]Is there a particular reason why this template doesn't automatically create a section header? Many of the other similar templates (e.g., Template:Coin-notice) do so and it would be nice if these templates were consistent. ElKevbo (talk) 19:37, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This template is usually in its own section, and as such, it makes sense to add a section header. Until then, I'll check out the doc and add that this does NOT create its own section header unless it is already metnioned. ☢️Plutonical☢️ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵘⁿᶦᶜᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿˢ 18:32, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps an optional parameter can be added to the template to add a section heading (something like header=yes
)? Just a thought. Aoi (青い) (talk) 19:06, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
