Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Verfassungsbeschwerde, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Executive. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Constitutional complaint

I was trying to wikilink an Austria related article to a generic page on Constitutional complaints but that links redirects to Verfassungsbeschwerde, which describes exclusively the German situation, with a single additional sentence mentioning a related Spanish mechanism. It's neither my area of expertise nor interest, yet as far as I can tell, a) Verfassungsbewechwerde also refers to a related but different process in Austria (though a quick google search suggests this may not be the official designation for the process in German, however I think I've found at least one usage of it) and b) judging from this article there are also similar types of constitutional complaint processes in almost a dozen European countries—and presumably elsewhere too. It's quite an old source and from what I gather at least Lithuania has added such a mechanism in the interim. My preference would be that such information all go into the one article, with subsections for per-country specifics, but since you've evidently already put a pretty decent amount of effort into the page so far, I thought I'd ask your opinion on whether you think the article should be:

• generalised in scope and renamed to the above suggested title?
• left as is with a new article created for the general situation in other countries?

Would you have interest in taking this on? Helrasincke (talk) 18:05, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for noticing my work and commenting!

I'm definitely a proponent of discussing legal principles and mechanisms on a general level in one broad article, and adding subsections for notable features found in individual legal systems.

The work I did on the page mostly just clarified and filled out what was already there. I'm not really aware of the constitutional complaint mechanisms of other jurisdictions, so I didn't try to expand the scope. I'll see if I can add anything I find on the Austrian (and maybe Swiss) situations, any English-speaking countries, and French-speaking countries. I probably won't get around to it right away.
