Lists Template‑class | |||||||

I'd like to see a flag that would cause the template to refer to
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Embedded lists rather than the existing
Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists. --

I deleted the above - the problem I was trying to deal with is at Strait#Well-known straits. WP:LSC is part of the MOS Stand-alone lists article. I found that Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Embedded lists does not mention selection criteria at all. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists mentions selection criteria but only for Stand-alone lists. For now, I tagged the introduction sentence with Wikipedia:Citation needed. -- Marc Kupper| talk 19:21, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
Linking "help" to the edit function can only cause confusion. There is an edit tab directly above the template, as anyone who is likely to provide selection criteria will know. I propose delinking it and appending "or by discussing the issue on the talk page" (with an optional argument to specify the section). Compare {{ List dispute}}.

to the template, like in {{
Merge}}, adding (Discuss) to the text.

Thank you. As for the other issue: I don't want to get into a discussion that changes a lot of cleanup templates. However, I notice that usually the link is on the action following "help", e.g., "help improve this article". So I'd be satisfied if the link in this template was moved so it reads "Please help by adding inclusion criteria." RockMagnetist ( talk) 18:56, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
