Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed

I looked into the rules of maintenance templates, and came to my conclusion that your template was inappropriately used. Those were the reasons I removed it, while also stating this on the talk page.
It is clear that the ICOC article page has become contentious, and actions should be taken when there is reasonable consensus on the talk page. According to
WP:WTRMT (4) and (7)a discussion should have been initiated by you on the talk page before your tag, or even at least after it. That way editorial consensus could be made if the tag is appropriate or not.
I decided to remove it so we could come to consensus on the talk page first. I understand that this may also have been against procedure based on
WP:WNTRMT.
Since the tag is back up, I will wait for consensus before appropriately removing it. I will wait for either
1) When the issue has been adequately addressed;
2) If it reasonably appears that the template did not belong when placed or was added in error. Consider first discussing the matter with the original placer of the template (unless this user is no longer active on Wikipedia). In any case, if the issue appears contentious, seek consensus on the talk page;
3) You may remove a template when according to your best judgment the lack of edits and/or talk page discussion should be interpreted as the issue not worth fixing (as a form of "silent consensus").

For future reference, there's no requirement for there to be talk page discussion of an issue before a tag is placed; usually, the placement of a tag initiates it, as it did here. You removed the tag while that discussion is ongoing and without consensus to do so, which you shouldn't have done.

Thank you, I will note this in future.

Hello, I'm
TarnishedPath. I noticed that you made a comment on the page
Talk:International Churches of Christ that didn't seem very
civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you. TarnishedPathtalk 02:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)reply
