Flagicon issue

I usually edit only for the German WP, but I would like to "translate" my de:Liste der Länder nach Preisniveau to the english WP. The problem: The table uses the german version of the Flagicon template and is sorted alphabetically by the german-language names of the countries: Is it possible to transfer the table correct to the Flagicon-templates here?--Antemister (talk) 13:58, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

@Antemister: Er, what exactly is the problem? If I cut and paste the beginning of your table verbatim from DE, I get:

The flag icons templates are identical. As you say, translating headings, changing decimal conventions, and re-alphaetizing are obvious. The only thing non-obvious is the class="hintergrundfarbe6" on the header line, which can simply be deleted without much harm. Also, in English the usual symbol for missing data in a table is an em-dash (—) rather than an ellipsis (...). Thus, I might translate it as:

List for years 2010–2015

Country	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014	2015
Aruba	—	0.70	—	—	—	—
Afghanistan	0.35	0.36	0.36	0.34	0.33	0.31
Egypt	0.27	0.28	0.30	0.30	0.30	0.33

etc. (I'm not quite sure how to translate "Preisniveau". Consumer price index? Purchasing power?) 104.153.72.218 (talk) 00:40, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

@104:153: Only re-alphabetizing, nothing else (the minor changes in typographic conventions is of course obvious). When I downloaded the table, I had to translate the english country names into german using an Excel file, then I pasted the table to the WP. As I did not have the intention to translate the table later on, I did not keep the file. And now I try to avoid to the same in reverse way... So, is it possible to achieve the re-alphabetizing just by the sort setting? The table is about the relative purchasing power of the respective currencies. Originally I created the page with the title "List of countries by purchasing power", but later I moved it to "List of countries by price level", since the latter one is more precise, while the first one could be possibly missunderstood as "Puchasing power of the average income/GDP per capita".--Antemister (talk) 11:44, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Long-term abuse

Could someone create something along the lines of Template:Sockpuppeteer but instead link to long-term abuse? At SPI, long-term abuse cases generate the message "A long-term abuse case exists at Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Example." A template like this would be great for tagging user pages, as in many cases, there is nothing on them that directly indicates that a long-term abuse case exists. Template:Long-term abuse does not exist and would probably be an appropriate title. Home Lander (talk) 02:27, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Another idea, if this is acceptable, would be allowing {{Sockpuppeteer}} to have an extra parameter like |lta=, maybe... —PaleoNeonate – 03:13, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

@PaleoNeonate and Home Lander: Agreed, adding a parameter to the existing template seems like a better solution. 104.153.72.218 (talk) 23:03, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Broader template for pages subject to disclosed paid editing

Currently, Wikipedia uses this template for articles that have been the subject of disclosed paid editing. My concerns about this template, and my reasoning for a new template or modification of the current one are as follows:

• The Template:Paid contributions template does not show up when viewing an article on a mobile device (instead it is listed in "page issue", a tab that must be opened to be read), unlike the Template:Undisclosed paid, which can be seen on mobile devices. This lack of visibility allows disclosed paid editors to effect Wikipedia articles without a large portion of the encyclopedia's readers being adequately informed that the content they are reading has been subjected to paid editing.
• Per Wikipedia:DISCLOSEPAY, disclosed paid editors must state on an article's talk page that they have been paid to make edits. However, most readers of Wikipedia are likely left unaware of these paid edits as article talk pages are seldom read by non-editors.
• The text of Template:Paid contributions reads "This article contains paid contributions. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page." The caveat about "require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies" leads me to believe a new tag should created for pointing out edited-for-pay articles, as the cleanup caveat has been used by paid editors to remove the Paid contributions tag and thus leave readers unaware that the content they are reading has been edited for pay. Note that the UDP tag remains in place even if the undisclosed paid edits meet Wikipedia's neutrality policy.

With all of the above being said, I propose two solutions to the problem as I see it. I also realize that there may have been policies that I have overlooked. My proposals are:

• Modify the existing Template:Paid contributions along the lines of Template:Undisclosed paid so that the tag is visible on mobile devices. I would also recommend changing the color of the template from orange to another color so that the template is not so readily grouped in with other tags.

Or

• Create a new template using Template:Undisclosed paid as, well, a template. This new template would be applied to all articles that have been the subject to paid editing, and would be visible on the mobile version of Wikipedia. The tag would persists as long as the paid edits remained disclosed on the article talk, regardless of the quality of the edits, much in the way the UDP tag does. This new tag would also close the loophole by which disclosed paid editors are able to make edits in line with policy and thus avoid having the edited article being tagged with Template:Paid contributions. The text of the new template would be brief, stating something along the lines of "This article has been edited for disclosed payment."

In my view, these two changes would better serve the project's goals and prevent abuse of Wikipedia:NOT that I have seen in my time editing Wikipedia. Thoughts?--SamHolt6 (talk) 23:53, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
