| Re situation at template {{tl|Controversial}}: Please assume good faith, at least in situations such as this where most other editors would, I think, see no evidence of bad faith; at least, I see none. | |||
| If you wish to edit a template such as Controversial, which is transcluded in over 1500 talk pages, please follow these steps: | |||
| *Post a message on the template talk page describing and quoting exactly the changes you propose; | |||
| *In the case of template Controversial, also post a messages on the talk pages of any articles you're involved in editing which have that template on their talk page. In these messages, state that you're proposing a change to the template and give a link to the section of the template talk page where discussion is to occur; | |||
| *Wait at least 1 day for comments (perhaps longer); | |||
| *Do the edit only if no one expressed opposition or the situation is such that it's clear that a typical uninvolved admin would recognize that there is rough consensus for the change. If in doubt as to whether there is consensus, consult an uninvolved admin. | |||
| Please follow the "'''...but be careful'''" instruction in ]. Please follow steps such as the above whenever making any edit anywhere on Misplaced Pages that is on a frequently-viewed or widely-used page, or that it can reasonably be predicted is likely to be opposed by some editors. | |||
| The above requests are no more than what I believe the typical experienced Wikipedian normally does. <span style="color:Green; font-size:1.5em;">☺</span> ] (]) 18:40, 17 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
