Template:RM notification → Template:RM notice – Consistency with similar notices such as Template:AfD notice; the target is currently occupied by a redirect to Template:Title notice. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 10:31, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

• Support per nom, consistency is good. By the way, isn't it ironic that a RM template is part of a RM discussion? LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contribs)} 02:40, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Added new param 'type' to complete the 2020 merge

The merge discussion of 11 May 2020 (here) closed with "merge Template:RMNote with Template:RM notification", and a merge was made 2 June 2020 (diff). However, that didn't really merge them, because after the merge, we were no longer able to address both users and WikiProject members, with the code from 'RMNote' aimed at editors, replacing the previous text at 'RM Notification' (now 'RM notice') aimed at WikiProjects. The doc remained geared towards WikiProjects, and so there was a mismatch between the doc and the code.

In order to complete the merge by allowing both types of recipients, I've added new param |type=, with the values user or project, which allows you to choose if you want a user-oriented or project-oriented message. The new param defaults to project, because that's what the documentation on this page has said it's supposed to do since June 2020; setting |type=user (or |type=USER) overrides the default and emits the user-oriented message. Sandbox and testcases are available; all test cases pass. Feel free to adjust the wording as needed. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 01:54, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Primefac, you might want to review this change. (Also, o/t: if you know of a better way to test subst-only templates than the way I did—see testcases—please lmk.) Mathglot (talk) 07:16, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Seems fine to me. Primefac (talk) 09:17, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Proposal to drop param alias 'alttalk'

The original name of this param was |alttalk= (not sure why), but because this is a subst-only template, changes to param names are not breaking changes. To bring this template in line with other template param name usage, we should keep the existing template name |talk=, and drop alias |alttalk=. Mathglot (talk) 08:51, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
