When you moved the template the reason for the move was "(moved Template:Notenglish to Template:Nonenglish: change title in line with the softened policy about non-English content)" - can you help me understand what part of the policy was softened? All the changes and moves to pages and templates and categories that were set up to manage the non-English content has created a confusing set of pages in the wiki. It's hard to know where to add comments. Some pages that had comments on the talk pages were deleted in the moves. What was so important to cause the need to change the title from Notenglish to Nonenglish to Non-English???? I'm concerned that as people come and go, names of templates and categories will be changed just because someone "thinks" it needs changing. I know this is a wiki, but this is crazy confusing. I'm just looking for help in understanding what has caused the need for all these changes related to the Notenglish template in general. -[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 16:57, 6 July 2011 (UTC) | When you moved the template the reason for the move was "(moved Template:Notenglish to Template:Nonenglish: change title in line with the softened policy about non-English content)" - can you help me understand what part of the policy was softened?

:Hi Fran, I hold my hands up on leaving the template and the talk pages with different names. I've now corrected this. The minor policy change/softening referred to was discuss in the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Technical Meeting Agenda 24 May 2011|technical meeting on May 24]]. I made the change to the name of the template from '''Notenglish''' to ''Nonenglish''' as the '''not''' was seen to have negative connotations. I then posted about this change in the forum thread [https://www.familysearch.org/learn/forums/en/showpost.php?p=31605&postcount=6 Foreign Titles in User Guidance/ linking to Foreign Language editions]. Michael then followed this up with his own post stating that the concession we had talked about would not be acceptable. Does that help to give some background to the change? BTW if someone uses {{tl|notenglish}}, {{tl|nonenglish}} or even {{tl|non-english}} it will all result in the same template being displayed. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 17:14, 11 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
