Template talk:Staff and contractors
== Template architecture ==
=== Pros ===
* Very easy to change positioning
* Easy to update all translations simultaneously
* May be easier for some to translate (clearer flow than all the wikitext)

=== Cons ===
* May be harder for ''some'' to translate
(contracted; show full)time employees" - because they are, there are requisition numbers for them.  However, they are ''technically'' contractors because we don't have offices in those countries.  Since referring to them as "contractor" is not a legal requirement, but we do need to indicate that they are not an FTE (for tax purposes, I think), we call them "International".<br />I hope that explains it.--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm|talk]]) 20:09, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

:: Thanks for the explanation.
:: Looking at the [https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Staff_and_contractors&oldid=91546&showall=1 current version] of this page, it seems the labels are completely inconsistent. For example, Tim S., Mark B., Guillaume P., and Erik Z. don't have an "international" or "contractor" label. Timo T., Andrew G., Nischay N., Marc-André P., and Oliver K. all have a "contractor" label instead of an "international" label. (These lists were based on a cursory scan.)
:: I have difficulty believing the IRS or any other organization is relying on the information found on this page. If they are, then we're currently misleading them (and have been for several years). I think we should remove all of the sidenotes. Any agency interested in knowing an employee's legal work status surely wouldn't be daft enough to rely on a wiki page. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 20:57, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
