I propose to remove the words ", and remove this template when finished" from the text of this template. 1. Like in ((Update)) 2. It is always the intention that maintenance tags be removed after the issues are fixed, and yet we never write this. Debresser (talk) 23:56, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Edit requests: standardize section templates! Add Category:Wikipedia section templates. And it's not showing on mobile Wikipedia.
[edit]This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
All section templates should be standardized to made them look like ((Unreferenced section)), ((Refimprove section)), ((Original research section)) and ((Summarize section)).
→ The style of this template needs to be changed a bit to fit those other templates, it needs the orange border removed and a left-border added etc.
Furthermore the new Category:Wikipedia section templates should be added to the template.
And lastly I just checked it on my mobile device and I can see the note neither on the mobile version of Wikipedia nor the mobile app. I'm not sure if this is an issue of the template or a technical issue? Because article hatnotes seemed to always show fine - for them it says "Page issues" (which can be shown/expanded by a click on it) - hence for sections it should say "Section issues". If this is a template-level issue I'll create a separate thread on that later so that this edit request can be resolved in its entirety right now.

- Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the
((edit semi-protected))
template. Also,((edit template-protected))
is usually not required for edits to the documentation, categories, or interlanguage links of templates using a documentation subpage. Use the 'edit' link at the top of the green "Template documentation" box to edit the documentation subpage. — JJMC89 (T·C) 05:19, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
Reason field
[edit]This should have a reason field like some other templates do so that I can explain what exactly needs updating. DemonDays64 (talk) 06:16, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- It's already part of the template, it just wasn't documented. I've fixed that.
- Most cleanup templates that suggest the use of
|reason=
don't actually do anything with it, it's just a means of making a short note explaining the problem that can be placed close to the problem concerned.((update))
(and hence((update section))
) is one of the exceptions, in that it puts the content of|reason=
parameter after the text "This section needs to be updated. In particular:". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:00, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Add a nocat param
[edit]Add a |nocat
similar to ((uc)) to suppress automatic addition of an article to the Category:All_Wikipedia_articles_in_need_of_updating category. Qwerty284651 (talk) 22:32, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
