Suppresses link to Page notice

Assistance required. See post at Template_talk:BLP_editnotice#Suppresses_link_to_Page_notice regarding the loss of access to Page notice when the BLP_editnotice template is added automatically via the Living people category. SilkTork (talk) 11:53, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Excluding some subpages from a group editnotice

Is there any way to prevent a few subpages from displaying a group editnotice? If not, could this be implemented? (See Special:Edit/Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes for a case where this feature would be useful.) jlwoodwa (talk) 01:21, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Basically, use {{#switch:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes=|#default={{editnotice|...}}}}. I'll do that for this editnotice. SilverLocust 💬 01:38, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What to do with blank Editnotices?

I looked on this page and in the talk page archive, and I did not see any definitive instructions or consensus on what to do with blank editnotices. I did see one editor in 2010 recommending CSD under G6, but that recommendation is not on Wikipedia:Editnotice.

The reason I ask is that there are about a thousand editnotice pages clogging up Special:UnusedTemplates, which has a limit of 5,000 pages. Many of those editnotices have been blanked, with edit summaries like "no longer applicable". Example: {{Editnotices/Page/Battle of Shivneri Fort}}. Should these pages be deleted, and if so, via what process? Thanks for any insight you can provide. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:13, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
