Hi,

Another small one to run through CT. But it's also so just minor that a SH seemed unnecessary.

Proposing this wording trim of the "Succession boxes" section of the WP:LG/IU, on the grounds of the wording unnecessarily assuming bad-faith and being phrased in an accusatory way. A remnant of the past, I'm guessing, but nevertheless not needed because kinda rude. In practicality however, the policy isn't changed at all (hence just a CT and not a SH, since it has no change in how pages get edited), it just removes the commentary to instead leave it as just formal wording.—spookywillowwtalk 01:46, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

  5. This does actually remind me, Imp informed me that the LG mandates navboxes be below ExL, but succession boxes can't be due to references. I feel like they should be listed together, no? Something to revisit later. Cade GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit Calrayn 03:40, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
    • Personally I think we have it set up now is fine, since navboxes are even less directly related to the article's subject than succession boxes (not to mention External links directly featuring the subject). Imperators II(Talk) 08:35, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
