Wrong message link?

{{Gs/alert}}, {{Gs/talk notice}} and {{Gs/editnotice}} all link to Wikipedia:Contentious topics, which describes a separate Arbitration Committee procedure. For example:

The article Template:Gs/talk notice, along with other pages relating to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is designated by the community as a contentious topic.

Shouldn't they link to Wikipedia:General sanctions instead? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:02, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 12 November 2025

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. It might also be best to wait for question 3 to be resolved. I don't think there is a big hurry. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:29, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that edits be made to the following template-protected templates:

Template:Contentious topics/list (edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · transclusion count · protection log)
Template:Contentious topics/alert/DS (edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · transclusion count · protection log)
Template:Contentious topics/alert/first (edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edits immediately.

Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Add WP:CT/ZS (Zak Smith) as an option in this template. It would be similar to the existing entry for a-i, but also mention the expiration date on 30 September 2026. Tests have been deployed to the respectivective sandboxes. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 22:47, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
