User:Riccostar/sandbox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page has been using infobox alternative intervention, a template seemingly created by user:CFCF. This infobox template contains a hidden field that prints "benefits - placebo" but the field is not visible on the edit page. The infobox for this page seems to have been changed to infobox alternative intervention from infobox interventions by CFCF in the following edit: edit link. The change was not mentioned in the edit summary. Infobox alternative intervention also has far fewer transclusions (25) than similarly formatted infoboxes such as interventions (495) and medical intervention (1468).

As the infobox fields should be transparent in the edit page, the infobox template should probably be reverted to interventions as an initial measure. Other templates such as Template:Infobox alternative medicine or Template:Infobox medical intervention may actually be better formats for this page. The "benefits" field can be manually reinserted or left out (whether "benefits - placebo" is infobox level information or unnecessarily derisive is a matter of opinion and likely to be controversial).
The behavior exhibited in the infobox edit is potentially concerning. The user appears to have switched the infobox to a niche, self-created template with an uneditable field without noting the change in the edit summary. The edit was almost certainly made with good intentions, but this page is controversial and the edit could be viewed as an attempt to make an inconspicuous and difficult-to-undo change to the contents of the article. --Riccostar (talk) 06:32, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
