Per Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 May 24#Template:Calm, templates ((Calm)) and ((Calm talk)) have been merged, which will result in the latter being redirected to this template. I am currently checking the "What links here" page to see that section usage receives the parameter. – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 03:17, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Being explicitly told to stay calm when I was already calm is a bit annoying in itself, but it could be better. Any chance of someone creating an alternate version, minus the patronizing bird? InedibleHulk (talk) 20:46, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe an objective stop hand? That's attention-grabbing without being nauseating about it. Probably why it's so widely used in the outside world. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:04, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A smaller version, of course. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:07, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest adding the following to the end : Take disputes to Dispute resolution. This alters the template slightly to :

Please be calm and civil when you make comments or present evidence, and avoid personal attacks. Please be patient as we work toward resolution of any issues in a peaceful, respectful manner. Take disputes to Dispute resolution.

Better wording? ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 14:31, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please be calm and civil when you make comments or present evidence, and avoid personal attacks. Please be patient as we work toward resolution of any issues in a peaceful, respectful manner. If consensus is not reached, other venues exist to allow other editors to give an opinion or mediate the discussion.

Lets make it "...Other venues, such as the Dispute resolution noticeboard,exist to allow...". What do you think? Yashovardhan (talk) 11:52, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. --Terra ^(talk) 12:13, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 13:10, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now! I am not sure if there was a sort of 'conensus' required for this. Since I had notified the DRN and the WT:DR talk pages (with not much response), I will assume we achieved consensus! Great Work! Yashovardhan (talk) 13:45, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"commit" personal attacks? One commits murder or another crime, but this just sounds weird. "Engage in", "resort to", or something else... 174.17.207.124 (talk) 16:06, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Written personal attacks may be considered "libel", which are criminal acts. As you say, "One 'commits' [...] (a) crime," so I'm sorry, but I don't see the problem.  Paine Ellsworth  ^put'r there  15:50, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to add this to a page I am creating but when I previewed the page and saw the current language I changed my mind. It's... just terrible. It reads like a template written at a committee meeting where there wasn't enough coffee for everyone. I would strongly prefer a reversion to about here, before it mutated into ...whatever it is now... Beeblebrox (talk) 20:43, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For the time being I have created an alternate version for those who don't care for the convoluted wording now in use, it is at ((remain calm)). Beeblebrox (talk) 20:52, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like the current wording is a bit awkward. For instance, "ensure that more editors mediate or sound on the vexed question." "sound on" doesn't really make sense to me, but I don't know what it's trying to say so I can't propose a change. However, I do propose that "e.g. dispute resolution noticeboard" should be changed to "e.g. the dispute resolution noticeboard" (with the link remaining as encompassing only 'dispute resolution noticeboard' and not 'the').
