Wikipedia talk:Featured articles/Editnotice templates

Done for now

@Outriggr:, I should be/hope to be done here for now. I do not want to spend the extra time dealing with the few BrEng articles. Could you let me know if you see anything else that needs to be done? If we are done, could you request protection at {{Medical FA editnotice}} ? At our house, we need to get going on radiation therapy, so I won't have time for continued editing (and I certainly have no interest, continuing the ongoing deterioration in medical and FA topics). I will pop in as able to finish up dementia with Lewy bodies, but will be happy to leave this page under your watchful eye. Best as always, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:49, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Alright @SandyGeorgia:, take care. You know, I thought I understood wikipedia, but I never do, there are all kinds of templates protected pre-emptively, but ours is not going to be one of them.[1] There's the logical bit I mentioned, where if edit notices are protected, templates that insert edit notices logically would also be... oh never mind. (Template:British English editnotice is restricted from peons like me, and only used 2-3x more than this one.) This is why I gave up trying to understand bureaucracies a long long time ago.

It's a bit worse than your usual bureaucracy in here. I don't understand either, so queried there. Thank you for all you did, Outriggr ... I wanted to get this to a point where I can walk away from it, so understanding who can work on them in the future matters. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:37, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Now U B all mad at me if it a step backwards? LOL. this [edit: this situation] what I get for trying to help in small small ways...Outriggr (talk) 23:46, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Not at all ! If we're done, I will park it at WT:FAC, and unwatch. Really-- not my problem-- I was only trying to help others. Let me know, best, always and forever, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:48, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Just foolin' with ya. Didn't mean it of course! Outriggr (talk) 23:54, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Automatic updating?

Is there a need for this page to exist with manual updating, rather than just linking to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Medical_FA_editnotice&limit=500? {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 19:23, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

It also tracks defeatured FAs ?? And helps with my dummy 101 editing. And tracks the different categories of Engvar and other. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:46, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
