Currently {{tlsc|Arbcom notice}} substitutes a single message, seemingly tailored for persons name as a "party" to a case. The sandbox modification allows use of an additional parameter, {{para|mention}}, which changes the verbiage to accommodate persons who are not a named "party", but instead have been mentioned tangentially; nevertheless, deserving a courteous notification. I would like to incorporate this change into the main template.

Template:Template testcases notice

Currently Template:Tlsc substitutes a single message tailored for persons "involved" in the case being requested. The sandbox modification allows use of additional parameters so that the notification can address persons who are not "involved", but have been tangentially mentioned instead. The notification extends beyond the request phase; being usable for open cases, requests for clarification, and requests for amendments as well. A demonstration follows:

Main template

The template currently uses a single configuration. Its syntax is shown where instructions are shown that mention the requirements of notification. The instructions intend that the user copy-pastes the syntax on user talkpages where notification is needed. Currently, the single configuration is: {{subst:arbcom notice|section name}} ~~~~


Saving it substitutes this message:


You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#section name and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. Additionally, the following resources may be of use—

Thanks, (the posting user's 4-tilde signature ends up here)

Currently needed copyedit

If no additional functionality was needed from this template, it would require the following copyedit anyway; in my opinion:

  1. The message begins as: "You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration.", which appears more like an accusation than a notification. This will become, "Hello User Name, you have been listed as an involved party in a recently filed request for arbitration."
  2. The emdash after "may be of use—" is misplaced. This will become the more correct colon instead.
  3. Terminal punctuation is not used with bullet list-items, they are therefor removed.
  4. "Thanks," is an ill-advised salutation; it will become "Thank you for the attention you have given this matter."
  5. After clean-up for readability and cohesion, the default notification becomes:

New default message

Hello User Name, you have been listed as an involved party in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#section name and if you desire, enter a statement, and any other material you choose to submit to the Arbitration Committee's attention. You may find useful information by reviewing the following links as well:

Thank you for the attention you have given this matter. (the posting user's 4-tilde signature ends up here)


Beyond the template's main copyedit, its functionality is increased to accomplish these additional notifications:
