Template talk:Dispute templates

Article titles are separate from article content

The "Disputed" section of this template is apparently for templates that are part of Category:Dispute templates, i.e. "templates that flag some kind of dispute with regard to article content." or where factual accuracy is disputed. It's hard for me to see how this applies to article titles. An article about Ronald Reagan that was titled Jimmy Carter would be factually inaccurate. If one couldn't simply move it to revert page move vandalism (see template:Vandal move) or fix the inaccuracy with a technical request, then a controversial move request would be the appropriate way to resolve the "dispute" or potential dispute. Dispute is just a manifestation of controversy. Should the "dispute" persist after the requested move is closed, then WP:Move review is the appropriate venue for resolving the dispute. Sure, Failed presidency of Jimmy Carter is a {{POV-title}}. So, tag the article and also submit a {{Requested move}} to Presidency of Jimmy Carter to fix it. Not POV, but still disputed? OK, tag the article with a {{disputed title}} if you must, and submit a {{Requested move}} to fix it. Don't create a procedure fork. Unhappy with the outcome of the requested move? Now we have a real dispute. You can tage it with a {{mrv}}. - Wbm1058 (talk) 03:15, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NOEDITSECTION

This template uses the __NOEDITSECTION__ magic word, which was added with these five edits by Funandtrvl (talk · contribs). It prevents section edit links from appearing on pages like Template:Dubious/doc (also Template:Dubious), and I don't understand why it is necessary to have this breakage. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:44, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember the reasoning behind it, if NOEDITSECTION is removed, would there be any adverse effects? Funandtrvl (talk) 16:03, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's the point: I don't think that there should be, because this navbox is used on template documentation, and those template doc pages that don't have {{dispute templates}} seem to get along quite happily by allowing section editing. See {{citation needed}} for example. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:36, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
