Template talk:Non-free comic

Edit request on 17 December 2012

As far as I can tell, the change to this template made by SchuminWeb on November 19 was never discussed, and thus there was no consensus for it established. This makes it a Bold edit. I would like to take the next step in WP:BRD and Revert it, but I cannot, since I am not an admin. Therefore I request that an admin revert SchuminWeb's edit of November 19. Thanks.

Done. See discussion at User talk:SchuminWeb#Changes in the wording of "Non-free" templates. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 10:38, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Change this:

| image      = [[Image:Fair use icon - Comics.png|52px|Copyrighted]]

to this:

| image      = [[Image:Fair use icon - Comics.svg|52px|Copyrighted]]

Note the "png", change it to "svg". 189.106.226.128 (talk) 18:47, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Basically, I am asking for two minor grammar corrections that I don't think will change anything significant about the template itself. The "or" in the middle should be separated from the two sections, and the "qualifies" then needs to be changed to "qualify" since there are actually two sections, not just one (so a plural verb to match the nouns). I am not quite sure how to format so that others can understand exactly what I am asking for here, and my attempt to do it is looking messy. But the change should be simple, if no one objects. Thank you. A loose noose (talk) 23:26, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

@A loose noose: sorry I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I tried to tidy up your request, but could you please make your requested changes to Template:Non-free comic/sandbox, and reactivate when ready? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:54, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

@MSGJ: Done. A loose noose (talk) 14:17, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

I prefer the original version over the version currently in the sandbox. The version in the sandbox groups the "where" clause and the "on en.wp" clause in with the second of the two sections. However, these clauses apply to both cases, not just the second. —RP88 ^(talk) 00:09, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
