Iranian politics is listed twice
[edit]Inside Wikipedia:Contentious topics the following duplicate entries for Iran are listed. They have two different ways to refer taf the topic but are otherwise the same:
{{Contentious topics|topic=irp}}
{{Contentious topics|topic=iranpol}}
~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 15:52, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. There are other duplicate codes listed there as well. Previous discussion has been had about improving the display. If you believe you can, an edit request to the relevant module would probably be appreciated. Izno (talk) 16:33, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- I hard coded the table inside Template:Contentious topics/table/ShushugahDraft for simpler maintenance and copied over other template/documentations, so it should be ready to replace entirely what's inside Template:Contentious topics/table. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 18:04, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- ... Hardcoding the table defeats the point. Izno (talk) 21:26, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Izno I went down a rabbit hole and see there are multiple template transclusions. I would suggest a mix of editing the text for data consistency, some template/UI improvements. Please bear with me.
- Inside {{Contentious topics/table}}
- Replace
class="wikitable" style="font-size: 9pt;"
withclass="wikitable sortable"
- Add a sortable key, so that related decisions can be found together, e.g the topic subpage could be used when sorting.
- Manually change order so that aa2 and a-a (Armenia) are grouped after a-i (Arab-Israeli)
- remove the word: name in first column {{subst:template name|topic=a-a}} to {{subst:template|topic=a-a}}
- Substitute Wikipedia prefix with WP where possible on both decisions and Topic specific subpage
- make consistent naming in "Area of conflict", for example
- the Arab–Israeli conflict
- Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts
- the English Wikipedia Manual of Style and article titles policy
- the Balkans or Eastern Europe
- India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan
- Keep same description for both MOS/Titles
- Replace

"other restrictions that have been specifically designated by the Arbitration Committee for use by a single administrator in a particular contentious topic"
[edit]At Wikipedia:Contentious topics in standard set. What's the easiest way to see a list/lists of these? Maybe a single page that lists them all? Valereee (talk) 14:10, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- I believe the other restrictions are listed on the pages for those sanctions. So, for instance, you can see the RfC restrictions for Iranian Politics at Wikipedia:Contentious topics/Iranian politics. I'm not aware of a unified listing of all such restrictions, which from a design perspective makes sense to me so that an individual administrator doesn't place a restriction they don't have authority to do. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:22, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, BK. I was thinking more of a table that listed what was specifically designated for each CT so that I can watchlist it and keep up, and so that I have one place to remember how to find. I'd probably put a link to it on my user under 'tools' or something so that when I wondered how I was authorized to solve a problem in a particular area, I only need two clicks to get there. Maybe it's just me who has to click around a bit to relearn everything she doesn't do daily. :) I guess it would need transclusion or something, though. Valereee (talk) 15:34, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
