Further information

The exceptions to the extended confirmed restriction are:

Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required.

With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Also, reverts made solely to enforce the extended confirmed restriction are not considered edit warring.
Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.

After being warned, contentious topics procedure can be used against any editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process.

On 5 February 2025, it was proposed that this page be moved from Template:7 October attacks to Template:October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel. The result of the discussion was moved.

Formatting

This template is currently messing up the formatting on articles, for example Kidnapping of Noa Argamani, where it shows the template headings in the article's table of contents. // comment by HopeMage x 05:23, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

+1, this is making pages unnavigable and on the standard layout the text is flowing into the sidebar. I do not have sufficient knowledge in templates to fix this. @FourPi: please try to do so. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 14:32, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is caused by FourPi's last edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:7_October_attacks&diff=prev&oldid=1241870755. I tried rolling it back but was reverted by Rusty Cat. // comment by HopeMage x 16:34, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DatGuy and HopeMage: Sorry, I didn't see this until now. I think I have fixed it now? FourPi (talk) 15:52, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, it looks good now. // comment by HopeMage x 17:59, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: moved to Template:October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel. Two replies favored this title, modified to be consistent with the example provided by nom. (closed by non-admin page mover) ASUKITE 17:03, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:7 October attacks → Template:October 7 attack on Israel – An RM consensus was declared about two months ago to rename the 7 October Hamas-led attack on Israel article to October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel. I suggest that this template should be renamed similarly. The template's headline already says "October 7 attack on Israel". The main thing that attracted my attention was the date format, but I also notice "attacks" (plural) versus "attack" (singular). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:50, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Then shouldn't it be "Template: October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel" ? VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 16:41, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would also just put it at Template:October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel for consistency purposes, clunky though it may be. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 11:40, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
