== PD-old-auto and used-with-US ==

I think [[Special:Diff/582281713|this]] is actually broken (or I am very confused; or probably both). :)

It'll ''show'' the US warning if either <code>used-with-US</code> is missing or empty, ''or'' if the number of years since <code>deathyear</code> is less than 100. That is, <code>if (A || B) {show_warning();}</code>. But the logic should really be that if there's a separate license tag for the US, this template should ''never'' show a warning. Primarily because the warning literally says "you need a US license tag" so once one is present the warning becomes nonsensical. But also because there is no obvious connection between the number of years since the author's death and the need to provide a US license tag. Even in {{tl|PD-old-presumed}} territory (which is pub + 120, not pma. 100) you still need to provide a US license tag.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! &nbsp;
! US = true
! US = false
|-
! deathyear < 100
| {{#ifexpr: {{#if:true|0|1}} or (70<100)| [[File:Nuvola apps important vermilion.svg|24px|center]] | [[File:Approve icon.svg|24px|center]] }}
| {{#ifexpr: {{#if:|0|1}} or (70<100)| [[File:Nuvola apps important vermilion.svg|24px|center]] | [[File:Approve icon.svg|24px|center]] }}
|-
! deathyear > 100
| {{#ifexpr: {{#if:true|0|1}} or (120<100)| [[File:Nuvola apps important vermilion.svg|24px|center]] | [[File:Approve icon.svg|24px|center]] }}
| {{#ifexpr: {{#if:|0|1}} or (120<100)| [[File:Nuvola apps important vermilion.svg|24px|center]] | [[File:Approve icon.svg|24px|center]] }}
|}

I am also uncertain where this number of 100 comes from? Longest normal US copyright term is pub. + 95. PD-old-presumed is pub. + 120. Longest known international copyright term is pma. 120. Typical modern copyright term is pma. 70. And then of course there are the myriad arbitrary minimum terms like 2038, 2042 etc. But on the flip side there are tons of works that expired after pub. + 28 years due to non-renewal or similar.

My suggestion is to either remove the "pma. 100" part of the logic, or, if it's needed for something I'm not seeing, nest it inside the "missing or empty <code>used-with-US</code>" case.

:{{ping|Xover}} No, it's correct, but I can see why it is confusing. The awkward construction using [[en:w:De Morgan's laws|De Morgan's law]] is to due to the way the template parser handles defaults / empty parameters / logic / coercion to boolean. The code in question is hiding the warning section only if used-with-US is true and X>=100. This is because the warning section text (from {{tl|PD-old-warning-text}}) can actually contain two different warnings, and so the warning section is needed if either will be output. The two warnings are the "need a US tag" warning and the "countries with longer copyright terms without rule of the shorter term" warning. You can see an example of both pieces of warning text at {{tl|PD-old-70}}. In the implementation of {{tl|PD-old-warning-text}} the "need a US tag" warning is suppressed when used-with-US is set and the "countries with longer terms without rule of the shorter term" warning is suppressed when the number of years since the death of the author is >= 100 (because there is no country with a longer term than pma+100). —[[User:RP88|RP88]] ([[User talk:RP88|talk]]) 23:01, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
::Ah, oh, I see. I had indeed not accounted for the "longer terms exist" warning (well, or more generally, that there are multiple possible warnings). And it doesn't help that the template parser / ParserFunctions kinda forces you to put orthogonal logic in the same #ifexpr (Lua would be much clearer here). But, setting aside my aversion to having [[File:Nuvola apps important vermilion.svg|16px]] symbols plastered all over for a ''normal'' state of affairs, that makes sense then. Thanks for the explanation (and apologies for the noise). [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 10:09, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

== Need your input on a policy impacting gadgets and UserJS ==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Dear interface administrator,

This is Samuel from the Security team and I hope my message finds you well.

There is an [[m:Talk:Third-party resources policy|ongoing discussion]] on a proposed policy governing the use of external resources in gadgets and UserJS. The proposed [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Third-party resources policy|Third-party resources policy]] aims at making the UserJS and Gadgets landscape a bit safer by encouraging best practices around external resources. After an initial non-public conversation with a small number of interface admins and staff, we've launched a much larger, public consultation to get a wider pool of feedback for improving the policy proposal. Based on the ideas received so far, the proposed policy now includes some of the risks related to user scripts and gadgets loading third-party resources, best practices for gadgets and UserJS developers, and exemptions requirements such as code transparency and inspectability.

As an interface administrator, your feedback and suggestions are warmly welcome until July 17, 2023 on the [[m:Talk:Third-party resources policy|policy talk page]].

Have a great day!</div>
