{{edit template-protected|answered=yes}}

Description of suggested change: Would it be possibleto have a date appear once the template is applied, I realise it's not a big difference, but it saves having to go to page history everytime I want to see when action was taken with regard to the account.

:File:Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Tlx|Edit template-protected}} template. There is no way for a template to know when it was added to a page, so this would require a new parameter to be used by editors. I find it unlikely that it would be used. — JJMC89 (T·C) 22:02, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

::@JJMC89 - there's two different issues, consensus and technical. On the second, I'm requesting the inclusion of a timestamp; why would editors need to do anything? Could this not be done through the addition of ~~~~ or {{tlx|date}}? On consensus - happy to hear views why this would not be a good idea (although this is moot if there's a technical limitation I don't understand).

::: Adding a parameter for a user-specified date is technically trivial; however, I doubt that CUs, admins, and SPI clerks would use it. (I would only use it if the SPI script did it for me and not for any manual tagging I do.) — JJMC89 (T·C) 17:50, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Wouldn’t it be more handy if the link in case of indefinite block directly pointed to the incriminated section of the wikipedia page?
