Question regarding talk pages of articles to which extended confirmation requirements apply

[edit]

Hi, I've got two questions: 1) If an articles that has been marked as "contentious" and put under the rule that only extended confirmed accounts are allowed to edit it, does that only apply to the article page or the talk page as well? 2) If I submit a request for an edit of a "contentious" article, which is under the rule that only extended confirmed accounts are allowed to edit it, then that request shows up on the talk page of the article. Am I allowed to reply to other users (only within the scope of that edit request section) on that same talk page that reply to my edit request? Many thanks for your help.--MiBerG (talk) 11:24, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello MiBerG! You are permitted to use the talk page, but only to make edit requests. You are not permitted to join existing discussions or start new ones. As for your second question, the wording of the restriction is that you may only make edit requests. If you need to clarify what you meant, that is fine. But more substantive discussion is not keeping in the spirit of the restriction. Best and happy editing, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:42, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @HouseBlaster, thank you for the clarification.--MiBerG (talk) 00:54, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Broken implementation notes

[edit]

I happened to be reading back some of the recent cases, and I noticed that the implementation notes for this page all consider themselves passing, even though that wasn't the case. This hasn't broken for this more recent case so I'm not sure what went wrong here and definitely don't want to go touching it myself. 195.195.244.151 (talk) 13:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The implementation notes hadn't been completely substituted on that first case, so once the casenav data for the number of active arbitrators was no longer available, it treated it as having 0 active arbitrators, and 1 support become enough to show as passing. I have fixed it on that page by adding |active= 11 to each proposal (and also subst'ed it for good measure). Thanks, SilverLocust 💬 16:09, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
