== {{tl|uw-disruptive2}} and {{tl|uw-controversial2}} ==

Hi all - apologies if this is the wrong place to note this, but I can't find a talk page for [[WP:UW]] for some reason (they all seem to redirect here). A template I made after a request a couple of years ago was taken to WP:TFD but survived when I explained the reason for it - it seems it has never ben listed with WP:UW... {{tl|Uw-controversial2}} is similar to {{tl|disruptive2}} (hence its name, which allows for a potential range of levels), but where uw-disruptive2's text assumes that the addition was deliberate and incorrect, uw-controversial2 assumes the edits were made in good faith and does not assume that they were an incorrect addition to the article, only one where there was potential to open old edit-war wounds or similar. A perfect example might be a new editor changing the word "Gdansk" to "Danzig" in an article, or "China" to "mainland China". The potential for an edit war developing in these cases is great, but the editor who made the initial edit would not necessarily know that. Rtather than describing their edit as disruptive, it simply says that it may be construed that way by some editors.

:Ah, yes, the unintentional act of, as [[Stephen Colbert]] might say, sticking one's penis into a hornet's nest, and warning someone that they may be doing so.

:Here's what I'm going to do. First, I'm renaming this template to {{tl|uw-controversial}} since it's apparent that this is single-issue. Then I'm going to tone down the wording just a little. After all, we don't want people to put various body parts in dangerous places, but at the same time, we need to be a little nicer about it.
