So I see you've added countsAsClothingForNudity to a bunch of infoboxes. Unfortunately, while the infobox does often match the .xml varnames, countsAsClothingForNudity is not implemented into Template: Infobox main. Adding it to the pages without changing that template won't do anything as currently set up.

So what I'm just checking to see if there was an intent to do something with the new parameter, or if it was just a misunderstanding of how the template worked. Nothings been reverted if you had plans, but if nothing is done with the parameter, then it'll be confusing for future editors to leave in. So just let me know which, when you can.

Thanks

Just to add: This isn't a reprimand or anything, you're not in trouble at all. I just want to clarify the issue for both of us.

Yes, the idea was that someone will notice and edit the Infobox main template to map this data to an SMW propety, I don't have permission to do so.

Do you have permission to add a topic to the talk page of the template?

I just did, suggesting this and another similar improvement, but to be honest, I'm discouraged from helping out further by now. Being put on a requires-review probation is not something I expected in the first place, and the template thing is doubly disheartening because I'm not only unable to edit the template, even a talk page suggestion for template changes must be approved.

Yeah, unfortunately the edit moderation for newer users has been found to be necessary. We've had a number of significant vandalism events even when we required an account for edits. These were especially targeted at common templates e.g. NSFW/NSFL images displayed on every page with the banner templates or the infobox. While the moderation system is better than the old system, regrettably I haven't had the time to keep up with reviews lately and I'm the most active moderator.

That said, you've made a number of good edits, clearly have a decent understanding of the backend, so I think we can trust you to not break things accidentally or intentionally. I'm swapping you to automoderated now. Up to you whether you want to continue editing, but I hope you will.

Feel free to reach out if theres anything else I can help you with.
