Template:Uw-controversial (talk · history · transclusions · substed · logs · subpages)

I find this template troubling for several reasons. The wording seems arbitrary:

[O]ne of your edits may have been a change that some consider controversial. Due to this, your edits may have been reverted.

Controversial edit? What the heck is that? One might think that perhaps it is related to our contentious topics procedures—but no. There doesn't seem to be any clear guidance about when it applies, or when it doesn't.

I started this discussion about it at a central location to discuss it but got no response after a week, so bringing it here. More details at the link. Mathglot (talk) 09:31, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Revert to original wording. This has been a useful template in the past, and could be again if the wording was less peculiar. It looks like User:SchuminWeb replaced the original wording a number of years ago with no explanation, giving the template a far vaguer purpose. Might be worth also linking the template to CTOPICS, but there's no need to throw the bathplug out with the baby. Grutness...wha? 12:12, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Is this not the "controversial" change? --wooden superman 13:09, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good point - that certainly muddied the waters. Grutness...wha? 23:50, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that every user warning template must be related to a possible violation of a specific guideline or policy and have a link to it, or else there is no point having the template, as the potential for abuse is too high and the user receiving it has the right to know what he is being accused of and how to avoid doing it again. So, what P&G is this about? Apparently at the outset, per Grutness's link, it was about vandalism, but we already have multi-level template {{uw-vandalism1}} – {{uw-vandalism4}} for that, so I am opposed to reverting to that language and having this one as a duplicate, as it would never be clear when to use uw-controversial, and when to use uw-vandalismN. (I am not opposed to "soft" versions of templates with gentler wording, but we even have that already: the {{Uw-subtle1}} – {{Uw-subtle4}} series.)

I am very strongly opposed to making this template about Contentious topics. The wording of contentious topics has been worked out by the Arbitration Committee, applies specifically to three types of templates, along with a specific list of contentious topics, and is linked to arbitration enforcement. Tfd is very clearly not the venue where we are going to insert a new template into that process. (I don't believe we should even so much as redirect it to one of the ArbCom templates without their green light.)

So, if it is not about vandalism, and it is not about contentious topics, then what is it about, and what guideline/policy do we link to to make sure the user understands what the violation was? If we cannot answer those two questions in a clear way, then I believe it must be deleted. Mathglot (talk) 21:13, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That first paragraph is pretty compelling to me. Maybe the right link is to WP:BATTLEGROUND? Izno (talk) 03:53, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless someone can explain how it relates to a guideline or policy. Controversial edits are sometimes fine. They are sometimes implemented after a contentious discussion that results in a consensus closure. People who implement the result of a controversial consensus discussion should not be templated or warned. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:40, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
