Template-protected edit request on 21 July 2025

[edit ]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Can the label for the business type be renamed to company type? This will bring it in line closer to {{Infobox company }}, as many websites and apps are managed by an eponymous company. This change will bring these two infoboxes closer to uniformity.

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit template-protected}} template. I am not opposed to this change, but let's see if anyone wants to discuss it. If there are no comments in a week, please reactivate the request. – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:30, 22 July 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

"Current status" considered harmful

[edit ]

Having something labeled as "current" without context clearly goes against WP:RELTIME. I notice someone above commenting that they understood this field shouldn't contain a date; I would argue that a date should be mandatory.

Websites are often ephemeral, and Wikipedia articles often fall into disrepair. A status of "Active" without an "as of" date is not helpful. NapoliRoma (talk) 18:37, 30 July 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

... or we remove the field outright. There already is a field for a dissolution date, so we don't really need an extra field explaining that the dissolution date indicates a dissolution. IceWelder [✉] 19:13, 30 July 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Extreme nitpick: etc should have trailing period

[edit ]

In the comment:

...set as "on", "y", etc, otherwise omit/leave blank. Does nothing for mobile users...

Can we add a trailing "." after "etc"? JS Wiki Browser/AutoWikiBrowser's regex is constantly complaining about it. I guess I could delete the comment on pages altogether, but might as well solve this forward for future users, imo. Smallangryplanet (talk) 13:08, 7 August 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
