The purpose of this page is to centralise the variouslists of topics that are currently designated ascontentious topics. There are three such lists:
The list of valid codes for all the topics.
The human-readable list of topics of the formPages relating to <affected articles> (<link to arbitration case>) – <Additional notes>
The list of links to any final decisions that contain remedies which designate a topic as a contentious topic, and
The list of affected articles.
Lists (2) and (3) are primarily used on templates used to give "warnings" of the existence of the contentious topics system or to serve notice to an editor who is actually subject to a restriction. Please seehere for an automatically-produced list of pages on which this template is used. Due to the ugly output of the list, this template deliberately appears blank. When new contentious topics are designated, the Arbitration Committee's clerks only need to update this list andTemplate:Contentious topics/table (excludingWikipedia:General sanctions and other very large lists that cannot be included in this template).
Use
The template takes one parameter, the value for which depends on the type of list you want to return. Corresponding to the three lists specified in#Overview, the acceptable values for this parameter are|code exists=,|scope=,|link=,|topic-subpage=,|subtopic=,|supertopic=,|canonical=, and|list=. For example:
{{alert/first}} ({{Contentious topics/alert/first}}), to alert an editor to the CT system which ismandatory for the first time an editor is alerted to contentious topics (except if they've previously been alerted to discretionary sanctions in any topic area)
