Usage: paid editors
- Use this template when dealing with users who are being paid to contribute to Wikipedia.
- This template should be placed on the talk pages of articles and drafts.
- The template adds pages to Category:Talk pages of subject pages with paid contributions and to Category:Misplaced transclusions of Template:Connected contributor (paid).
- Paid editors are required by the Wikimedia Foundation Terms of Use to disclose their employer, client and affiliation with respect to edits for which they are compensated. The employer is the person or organization paying for the edits, such as a PR company. The client is on whose behalf the edits are made; this is often the subject of the article. When employer and client are identical, simply supply the employer.
- You should post the disclosure at the top of article talk pages as follows:
- {{Connected contributor (paid)|User1=InsertName|U1-employer=InsertName|U1-client=InsertName|U1-otherlinks=Insert relevant links, such as relevant affiliations, disclosures, article drafts written by paid editors, or diffs showing paid contributions being added to articles.}}.
General conflicts of interest
- When dealing with a general conflict of interest, or a financial conflict of interest that does not involve being paid to edit Wikipedia, use
{{Connected contributor}}
.
Talk page usage example
- Talk:Assurant shows {{connected contributor}} and {{connected contributor (paid)}}.
Parameters
- Userx
- The editor's username is required. This template is designed to handle up to 10 users by using the "Userx" parameters, where x is between 1 and 10.
- Ux-employer
- The employer field is required. The employer is the person or organization that is paying for the contributions. For example, Smith Public Relations Ltd ("the employer") might pay a user to work on issues of interest to Acme Pharmaceuticals ("the client"). If no employer is given, the page will be added to Category:Paid contributions with no listed employer.
- Ux-client
- The client field is required. The client is the person or organization on whose behalf the contributions are made. The employer and client might be the same entity. That is, a user might be paid directly by Acme Pharmaceuticals to work on issues of interest to Acme Pharmaceuticals.
- Ux-EH
- Set to "yes" if the user has edited the article; "EH" stands for "edited here".
- Ux-banned and Ux-otherlinks
- This template does support automatically marking users as banned ("UX-banned"). You also can leave a note in Ux-otherlinks to note this or include a diff of the declaration.
