Small requested edit edit

{{editprotected}} Currently, there is an extraneous space in the output of this template when used outside the Image/File namespace. To fix this, please replace the entire "Note to OTRS volunteers" line with the following code:

''Note to OTRS volunteers:'' If the email contains sufficient confirmation of the validity of the license, please replace this template with {{tlp|PermissionOTRS|ticket=URL}}{{#switch:{{NAMESPACE}}|Image= and consider moving to [[Commons:Main page|Commons]]. Otherwise, nominate the file for deletion or delete it.|File= and consider moving to [[Commons:Main page|Commons]]. Otherwise, nominate the file for deletion or delete it.|. Otherwise, remove the copyrighted content, deleting the page if necessary.}}

This moves the offending space inside the #switch parser function, where it is needed in the Image/File namespace to continue the sentence, but removes it from the display in other namespaces. Thanks. 76.235.59.221 (talk) 06:02, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Done Nice eyes, thanks! ~ Amory (utc) 05:42, 21 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
Reactivated editprotected template; you appear to have accidentally left out the space immediately following |File=, which causes two words to run together, as seen on File:R Pielke Sr.jpg. :) 76.235.59.221 (talk) 05:14, 22 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
  Done, thanks. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 05:44, 22 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Upload to Commons? edit

Seeing the number of uploads to Wikipedia using this template, should the documentation mention that most images that are licensed by Creative Commons or are PD can be uploaded to Commons instead of here, where they would most likely be tagged {{move to commons}} at any rate? I'm not familiar enough with licensing laws to know if images licensed CC-US (USA only I think?) and similar would be exempt from the Commons thing... – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 23:39, 2 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Edit request edit

Place a hard-coded space ( ) after "Image=" and after "File=". Otherwise, no space shows.— Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 19:25, 26 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hopefully fixed now. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:23, 27 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Implementing a check for a one-month limit edit

Since it was understood upon that files pending OTRS permission for a month would be deleted, I think it would be a good to move these to a category automatically. However, as the problems entailed with substitution or the feeding of the current date/time as a parameter would be confusing to new users, I think it's reasonable to depend on the last revision of the page. Since files and talk pages of OTRS-pending items are (usually) not very active, it shouldn't pose too big of a loophole.

Therefore, could an admin implement the sandbox and create Category:Items pending OTRS confirmation of permission for over 30 days?

Any autoconfirmed user should be able to create the category, it's not salted. The template change is   Done, and I cleaned up your code a bit too. Anomie 02:49, 12 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Image edit


The current image File:Crystal file temporary.png was deleted from commons 10 February 2019, this needs to be removed or replaced. Options would be the previous image used File:Crystal Clear app error.png or another from c:Category:Exclamation mark warning icons. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 14:32, 13 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Done I have replaced the image with your suggestion so that there is something there. Anyone who knows this template family better is welcome to use a different image. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:15, 13 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Template-protected edit request on 31 August 2021 edit

The Template:OTRS pending message box instructs to replace it with {{OTRS permission|id=Ticket number}} when the license is validated. {{OTRS permission}} redirects without shortcut to Template:Permission ticket. I request that the displayed link be updated:

{{OTRS permission|id=Ticket number}}{{Permission ticket|id=Ticket number}}

A complete sentence cannot have redundancies. Tryvix1509Let me know if I made a mistake 07:55, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit template-protected}} template. The "WP" prefix is not a "redundancy", it is the standard way to identify Wikipedia's documents in the project namespace, in this case a procedural policy.
