Template-protected update request for syntax update
editThis edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
{{ITN candidate}} has been updated with a new parameter for ongoing discussions. Please update the collapsed template syntax copy here to match the new syntax. Mamyles (talk) 13:56, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
- Done -- John of Reading (talk) 14:15, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Two more parameters
editThis edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
I added two more parameters—altblurbs IV and V—because I see altblurbs II and III becoming more useful to everyone. Can you update the syntax? --George Ho (talk) 19:55, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- Done. Pleasant pathways, Paine 00:27, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Level-3 or level-4 heading

I see tendencies to make nomination headings level-three. One equal sign (=) at each side should be removed. The bot won't be affected by level-3 headings, will it? George Ho (talk) 04:23, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

RD-only nominations
editThis edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Preview of the proposed edit:
- For recent deaths nominations
==== Nomination header ==== {{ITN candidate | article = <!-- Do not wikilink --> | recent deaths = <!-- (yes/no); instead of specifying a blurb the nomination can be for the "Recent deaths" line --> | sources = <!-- Include one or more references from verifiable, reliable sources. --> | updated = <!-- (yes/no); Leave blank if you aren't sure --> | updated2 = <!-- (yes/no); only if there's a second article and article2 is filled in! Leave blank if unsure --> | nominator = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- Do NOT change this --> | updater = <!-- Should be filled with the username of the person who has contributed the most to updates. --> | updater2 = <!-- if more than one updater --> | updater3 = <!-- if more than two updaters --> | note = <!-- Can be used to note potential problems with the nomination or article. --> | nom cmt = <!-- Add the reason for nominating the item. --> | sign = ~~~~ <!-- Do NOT change this --> }}
This helps others no longer copy and paste other unnecessary parameters for RD nominations. Rather than replace, the passage should be added in. --George Ho (talk) 18:15, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- I recommend seeking consensus at WT:ITN before requesting this change. Mamyles (talk) 18:45, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- I don't see the problem, we have blank parameters all over Wikipedia. Adding this would make it unnecessarily complex, especially on occasions when it might be an RD or a blurb. This looks, once again, like a solution searching for a problem. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:29, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

{{ITN candidate}} has been updated with a new parameter for ongoing discussions. Please update the collapsed template syntax copy here to match the new syntax. See also this discussion for more information. Fuebaey (talk) 03:06, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Fuebaey: I would like to split off the syntax section of Template:ITN candidate/doc into a new page for transclusion both at the doc page and here, so this editnotice need not go through syncing requests with the doc page. Objections? — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 03:32, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
- None here. Thanks for responding. Fuebaey (talk) 03:48, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
- Done here and here. Please ping/re-open if there are issues. Thanks. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 04:22, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
