Template talk:temp

untitled
Feel free to revert my change here. My experiment makes the links look much nicer, but perhaps harder to cut-n-paste. --Connel MacKenzie T C 21:51, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * These things look ugly with my CSS customizations to links. And I made the template. :-). &mdash; Vildricianus 21:54, 27 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Sounds like a css problem to me. :-)   --Connel MacKenzie T C 21:58, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

lowercase first char?
On Wikipedia, it doesn't much matter, but here we are case-sensitive. Shouldn't we have in there? --Connel MacKenzie T C 21:57, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

foreach
Had allowed the display of parameters using and then through repetition due to the template's infamacy. Now added :subst: to replace functionality. Davilla 21:50, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Had replaced foreach with unraveled iterations in the code a while back and didn't mention it here. DAVilla 15:26, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

talk about talk?
Should this direct people to the talk page of the template, since we are now changing everything around to be on talk pages only, right? --Connel MacKenzie T C 19:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I think that would be a good thing. Hopefully more clicks on links are to learn about or talk about a template than to edit it. :-) Rod (A. Smith) 03:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)


 * If we made it dependent on the existance of the talk page, it probably wouldn't be too disruptive. Otherwise you'd get a lot of red links. Is a good idea. Robert Ullmann 13:17, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * works this way now. Robert Ullmann 14:01, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Template tlx
There is an interproject template b:Template:Tlx at Wikipedia, Wikibooks, and other wikiprojects playing the same role as this template temp. --Daniel Polansky 07:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Proposed documentation change.
It seems like this template is needlessly complicated, and we suggest needlessly complicated workarounds for things that, for technical reasons, it can't handle. I think the documentation should emphasize two notations:


 *  
 *  

plus a few of the additional parameters needed for subst:, non-template-space, and sister-project support.

I don't think it's feasible to change existing uses of the template, so we do need to retain the template complexity; and that means that we do need to retain the current documentation somewhere so that people editing the template know what cases need to still work, but I don't think we should give it the undue emphasis we currently do.

What do y'all think?

Non-breaking hyphen
Ideally hyphens in template names should be replaced by non-breakable variants (‑, U+2011). – Jberkel 09:10, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
