Problematic statements moved to talk
[edit]- "If possible, the hatnote can also "provide simple directions to a friend/family member who wishes to access the userpage" but has found it fully protected, by giving them access to administrator help. A standardized and secular template,
{{Deceased Wikidata editor}}
, is available to be placed on the user talks of deceased Wikidata editors. Its placement is at editors' discretion, and should be considered on a case by case basis."
I don't think other users should edit people's talk page. This is inconsistent with general guidelines. The template may appear secular to some, but it doesn't seem neutral as such.

- "As a symbolic gesture of respect, accounts of deceased Wikidata editors should not be blocked unless they have been compromised. However, to prevent severe harm to the project if such a situation should happen, the user rights of deceased editors should be removed."
General process is usual to deactivate users accounts. I think this is routinely done at dewiki.
