Per Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 May 24#Template:Calm, templates {{ Calm}} and {{ Calm talk}} have been merged, which will result in the latter being redirected to this template. I am currently checking the "What links here" page to see that section usage receives the parameter. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 03:17, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Being explicitly told to stay calm when I was already calm is a bit annoying in itself, but it could be better. Any chance of someone creating an alternate version, minus the patronizing bird? InedibleHulk (talk) 20:46, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
- Maybe an objective stop hand? That's attention-grabbing without being nauseating about it. Probably why it's so widely used in the outside world. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:04, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- A smaller version, of course. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:07, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
I suggest adding the following to the end : Take disputes to Dispute resolution. This alters the template slightly to :
 | Please be calm and civil when you make comments or present evidence, and avoid personal attacks. Please be patient as we work toward resolution of any issues in a peaceful, respectful manner. Take disputes to Dispute resolution. |

| Please be calm and civil when you make comments or present evidence, and avoid personal attacks. Please be patient as we work toward resolution of any issues in a peaceful, respectful manner. If consensus is not reached, other venues exist to allow other editors to give an opinion or mediate the discussion. |
- Lets make it "...Other venues, such as
the Dispute resolution noticeboard,
exist toallow...". What do you think? Yashovardhan ( talk) 11:52, 9 June 2017 (UTC)- Sounds good to me. --

- Looks good now! I am not sure if there was a sort of 'conensus' required for this. Since I had notified the DRN and the WT:DR talk pages (with not much response), I will assume we achieved consensus! Great Work! Yashovardhan ( talk) 13:45, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

"commit" personal attacks? One commits murder or another crime, but this just sounds weird. "Engage in", "resort to", or something else... 174.17.207.124 ( talk) 16:06, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Written personal attacks may be considered "libel", which are criminal acts. As you say, "One 'commits' [...] (a) crime," so I'm sorry, but I don't see the problem. Paine Ellsworth put'r there 15:50, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
I was about to add this to a page I am creating but when I previewed the page and saw the current language I changed my mind. It's... just terrible. It reads like a template written at a committee meeting where there wasn't enough coffee for everyone. I would strongly prefer a reversion to about here, before it mutated into ...whatever it is now... Beeblebrox ( talk) 20:43, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
For the time being I have created an alternate version for those who don't care for the convoluted wording now in use, it is at {{ remain calm}}. Beeblebrox ( talk) 20:52, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
I feel like the current wording is a bit awkward. For instance, "ensure that more editors mediate or sound on the vexed question." "sound on" doesn't really make sense to me, but I don't know what it's trying to say so I can't propose a change. However, I do propose that "e.g. dispute resolution noticeboard" should be changed to "e.g. the dispute resolution noticeboard" (with the link remaining as encompassing only 'dispute resolution noticeboard' and not 'the').
