Uses of this template that have |editedhere=no
and also a value for |checked=
for the same user indicate an error, as if the user has not contributed to the article, there is nothing to check. Could we create a check and maintenance category for this issue? {{u|

|editedhere=yes
vs. no, we could also diffuse by whether the edits have been checked or not. However, it gets complicated fast because of the possibility of multiple connected contributors. (Also, there's the possibility that the connected contributor has edited more recently than the check, but that gets to a flaw of this template's design.)|checked=
parameter should also use |editedhere=yes
for at least one contributor.}}
Category:Pages using connected contributor with conflicting parameters|editedhere=no
is wrong:
{{Connected contributor|checked=31 July 2021 by
TJRC|user=BuzzEntPR|declared=no}}
|editedhere=yes
should always be used if the user has edited, never assumed — we could just as easily assume that omitting it means the user has not edited, which creates ambiguity. The banner language and category also will not be changed unless the parameter is used.

|editedhere=
that are left undefined don't get assumed to be no. But if that's handled, then switching to {{
yesno}} to make this template a little more flexible sounds fine to me. {{u|

Wouldn't "blocked" be more common? Today there's also partial blocks. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 09:16, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi, based on community feedback, I am adding this template to the talk pages of pages that I've edited. Is there a way to link to my userpage for the COI declaration? Rachel Helps (BYU) ( talk) 16:35, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
|otherlinks=
parameter of {{
connected contributor}} to add a wikilink (e.g., |otherlinks=COI declarations:[[User:Rachel Helps (BYU)#Conflict of Interest statements]]
) or a full URL (e.g., |otherlinks=COI declarations:[/info/en/?search=User:Rachel_Helps_(BYU)#Conflict_of_Interest_statements]
). These examples link just to your "Conflict of Interest statements" section, but you could link to each specific COI statement section as appropriate. Alternatively, the |declared=
parameter can be added to place the diff # (i.e., "oldid" number) of a specific edit that adds/changes a COI declaration, but if you change the COI declaratation subsequently, you'd need to update the diff # wherever you specified it. —

19:19, 28 March 2024 (UTC)I notice at Talk:Monero that user1 through user10 have all been claimed, so a second duplicate template has been added to hold the overflow. Would it be practical to expand the template to allow for more users? Grayfell ( talk) 04:12, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
