 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. I don't see a need for a single symbol of communism to be included.

I removed some of the related topic links, merely by investigating whether the template appears as a sidebar or at the footer section of the article. As a disclaimer, I regard templates transcluding links as nearly always OR, often misleading, pedagogical, or distracting, proposing a "series" of articles by this template's content deepens the potential to veer from NPOV. The exceptional example is a taxobox, which is not an arrangement contrived here but a verifiable representation of sourced content. ~ cygnis insignis 07:53, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-12-07T07:53:00.000Z","author":"Cygnis insignis","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Cygnis_insignis-2021-12-07T07:53:00.000Z-removal_of_some_related_topics","replies":[]}}-->

firstly, there needs to be some form of logo, secondly, the topics need redoing. the division between ideas and aspects seems arbitrary, and the organisation tab is largely redundant. we also need an economics section.

There doesn't need to be a 'logo' (symbols, actually) in navboxes, in fact, they are very discouraged (see WP:NAVIMAGES). These take away attention from the actual contents of the navbox. And we're dealing with a broad and serious topic here; unnecessary decoration looks unprofessional. –Vipz (talk) 22:58, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230404225800","author":"Vipz","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Vipz-20230404225800-Thatjakelad-20230404184100","replies":[]}}-->

 Done, but in a new section called "Criticism" alongside Anti-communism, Criticism of communist party rule, and Criticism of Marxism. –Vipz (talk) 19:14, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231203191400","author":"Vipz","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Vipz-20231203191400-223.25.74.34-20231203142000","replies":[]}}-->

This request is to add the following to the list of people: Amadeo Bordiga, Onorato Damen, Paul Mattick, Herman Gorter, Otto Ruhle Those were important actors in the Italian Communist Party; Internationalist Communist Party; International Communist Party; Social Democratic-, and Communist Workers' Parties of Germany and the Netherlands et cetera. Their contributions to Communist theory are ones of high value and their adherence to Marxist principles is, to say the least, remarkable 2A02:A03F:834B:9B00:793E:B695:2A7E:37A9 (talk) 19:35, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240707193500","author":"2A02:A03F:834B:9B00:793E:B695:2A7E:37A9","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-2A02:A03F:834B:9B00:793E:B695:2A7E:37A9-20240707193500-Semi-protected_edit_request_on_7_July_2024","replies":["c-Geardona-20240716025600-2A02:A03F:834B:9B00:793E:B695:2A7E:37A9-20240707193500"]}}-->
