I request that in the country section Russia be added as (De facto) while Ukraine is put as (De jure) LegendaryChristopher (talk) 01:26, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the infobox?

Not done, because there was an RFC on this topic, where it was decided that de facto control should not be put in infoboxes of populated places in the context of wars like this one, since it messes up the metadata when bots read the parameters of the infobox, among other reasons.

Where was that RFC, and why "de facto" control is being presented now in the infobox? Thanks! ManyAreasExpert (talk) 19:02, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's been the better part of a year and I don't edit much in this topic anymore so my memory is hazy, but from some searching, I'm pretty sure I was referring to Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 179#RFC: Occupation in infobox for localities affected by the ongoing military conflict. As to why the "de facto" control is now in the infobox anyway, it's because of this edit by user Alaexis, which didn't appear to address previous consensus. You could ping that user and discuss if you object to the change. HappyWith (talk) 21:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
