Ux-EH
editIf a paid contributor's edits are only to the talk page of the article to which they have a COI, but not to the article itself, does that count as "edited here" when specifying |Ux-EH=? — Archer1234 (t·c) 22:48, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- Archer1234, no, the purpose of that parameter is to inform other editors about whether a COI editor could have in some way skewed the article's NPOV in favor of the subject. Throast {{ping}} me! (talk | contribs) 17:14, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Alts for subsequent editors
editCurrently, the template only allows you to add SPAs for the first COI editor listed. An option should be added to be able to specify SPAs for subsequent COI editors. I don't see why that shouldn't be an option. As with other parameters, "alt(x)" should be linked to the user, i.e. "U(x)-alt(x)", so that it can be specified for each individual COI editor in the list. Throast {{ping}} me!

Please change the image "Dollar_sign_in_circle_cleaned_(PD_version).svg" with "Coin Icon.svg" per Template talk:Undisclosed paid#Change icon proposal. While the dollar sign is understood as a symble for money it still looks odd for talk pages of articles which don't use dollars or at least if the user hasn't been paid with dollars.

Link suppression of image
editTop of the morning,
I'm removing the suppression of the link to File:Coin Icon.svg. This is because File:Coin Icon.svg is shared under both the GFDL and CC-BY-SA 3.0, which require us to provide attribution to the creator of that image via a reasonable means (such as a link to a page containing that information). When we suppress the link, we remove the link to the attribution, which is prohibited under those license terms.
Cheers!
