This edit request to Template:More citations needed section has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please add a parameter so that it would be "adding citations to reliable sources at this section" in Template:More citations needed section. Thank you. Timothytyy (talk) 13:11, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Completed – now, template {{More citations needed section}} reads "Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources in this section." (seems to be a little stronger than "at this section") P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 22:57, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change: give the name parameter a description or remove it as its probably widely unknown what its for — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael21107 (talk • contribs) 14:55, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Feel free to edit the TemplateData yourself. That doesn't require TPER rights. Removing the |name= parameter would require a broader discussion and/or a better justification before it could be implemented. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 17:37, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change: Make the auto value of "affected area" section, as done in Template:Unreferenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TypistMonkey (talk • contribs) 03:21, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: in the {{Unreferenced}} template, the "auto value" is actually "article", which has been corrected in the template data part of the documentation. In this template the auto value of the "affected area" is also "article" and can be changed to "section" with the #1 unnamed parameter, for example, |1=section. Thank you for your improvements! P.I.
