Appropriate template for editors who have admitted a paid connection and need initial guidance?

Is there a template similar to this one that is appropriate for use when an editor has disclosed a paid connection and needs initial guidance? This template has good guidance but it assumes that the connection has yet been disclosed or may not exist. It's easy to modify the output of this template to work in these situations but it would be handy to just have an appropriate template. ElKevbo (talk) 22:02, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could probably use one of the Promotion-related warning templates. Primefac (talk) 12:09, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This could be addressed by changing "you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements" to "you may not have complied..." Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:27, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 17 November 2024

The current template's wording is redundant: "The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements." Please remove the first "undisclosed," as "you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements" already indicates that the financial stake is undisclosed.

Not strictly opposed to this, but I think it should get more eyes since I seem to recall we worded this specifically the first time 'round. Primefac (talk) 19:27, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To maximize clarity of understanding, the present wording should continue as is and should not be altered. This is a serious issue, and any perceived redundancy, which appears to be minimal in this case, should imho continue to be acceptable. P.I.

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit template-protected}} template. Please review Template talk:Uw-paid1/Archive 1 and then make a recommendation that builds on that consensus discussion. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:37, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
