Unusual formatting: template parameters – {{{casualties1}}}, {{{casualties2}}}, {{{casualties3}}}

Three of the parameters {{{casualties1}}}, {{{casualties2}}}, {{{casualties3}}} do not have corresponding parameters, which is inconsistent with the rest of the parameters (or style more broadly). However, they have descriptions under TemplateData. I think it needs 3 additional corresponding fields. ElectronCompound (talk) 14:56, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request 22 November 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change: Remove the sentence parameter. If the more specific explicitly for crime infobox (Template:Infobox civilian attack) does not have a sentence parameter, the one that is less specific certainly shouldn't. Its use here is questionable and ties into the concerns expressed at the TfD about this infobox trying to be too many things at once. Removing it will address that. PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:46, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removing this in your own words would break "many many templates" that embed this template. I would answer this edit request as "not done"; however, I am probably too involved at this point. Please see Template talk:Infobox civilian attack#Template-protected edit request on 22 November 2024 and another at Talk:Murder of Laken Riley#Sentencing in infobox. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 00:17, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Paine Ellsworth Yes, so since there is no consensus to use it on crime articles, it should be removed, instead of people avoiding this consensus by accessing it through a hacky-roundabout way through a less updated template. The only articles that people would use this parameter for should be using the other infobox, so if the only purpose of this template having this parameter is to add it to a separate template, then it should be added to that template. But we have decided not to, so it shouldn't remain on one but not the other, when the only purpose of it having this parameter is to add it to the other. It wouldn't break it as much as it would just stop showing up which is the best solution. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:23, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You see, editor PARAKANYAA, this is what I don't like about forked discussions – I have to repeat myself on several pages, thus far in three different talk pages. Please don't start a fourth discussion somewhere else. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 00:46, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Paine Ellsworth I can certainly agree with you on that. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:46, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit template-protected}} template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:47, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
