I have initiated a conversation about a suggested change to the way we display the BLP banner on article talk pages at Wikipedia talk:Biographies of living persons#Suggestion regarding the Biography of Living persons statement on article talk pages. Please take some time and leave a comment about this suggestion. --Kumioko (talk) 20:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

It may be me being petty, but it sounds like a good idea to change "...does not apply directly..." to "...does not directly apply...". It bears the same meaning, but is also more intuitive since the not is negating the directly and not "apply directly". It can be argued that the BLP policy applies to all articles at least indirectly. GaɱingFørFuɲ365 18:44, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
While the biographies of living persons policy does not apply directly to the subject of this article, it may contain material that relates to living persons, such as friends and family of persons no longer living, or living persons involved in the subject matter. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons must be removed immediately. If such material is re-inserted repeatedly, or if there are other concerns related to this policy, please see this noticeboard.

I have disabled the request for now as there doesn't seem to be consensus on the best wording. Even the presence of this one word seems controversial. Please continue discussing and reactivate if consensus emerges. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:13, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi there. I'm not sure if there is an existing consensus either way, but I think it would be beneficial to restore the talk box back to its original colour, rather than overriding the standard colour with the ghostly cream it currently uses. I assume it's this way for emphasis, but I believe that |type=content
has enough emphasis (especially considering that more important boxes like ((American politics AE)) don't break the standards). ItsPugle (please ping on reply) 01:57, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Please add __NOINDEX__ to this template, for consistency with ((BLP)). This template is used on talk pages that tend to attract frequent BLP vios (e.g. speculation about the names of criminal suspects), and we don't want those indexed by Google.
