Partial-block extended to full ban
[edit]Most or all of the current partial block requests are by an editor who has since been banned from Wikipedia. Should these be processed as normal, or should they be procedurally closed? Thebiguglyalien (talk) 03:41, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- I would say that if you're 100% sure the edit is correct and properly cited (note that the editor in question was known for source misrepresentation which is one of the reasons they were banned) then implement it, but if you have any doubt don't hesitate to decline. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:58, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

The "Making requests" link does not work, because the R in "Requests" is capitalized. Lowercasing the R will make the link work. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 21:08, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

"Please establish a consensus with editors engaged in the subject area before using the relevant edit request template"
