Moved to Wikipedia talk:Template index/User talk namespace § Template for excessive details

Please see Category:Portal templates with redlinked portals. There are large number of these resulting from YYYY type templates which are trying to load Portals which have been deleted - typically decades and countries I believe. I think an ifexists instruction within the template will resolve these. Template editing is beyond me so can anyone assist? Lyndaship (talk) 14:17, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to User:Jonesey95 it's all resolved Lyndaship (talk) 16:39, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AfC Reviwer here. Draft:Template: Campaignbox Dano-German Conflicts may please be seen for necessary action with further notifications to the submitter at @Tinkaer1991:.

Thanks, Please feel free to ping/mention -- User4edits (T) 09:20, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template: Campaignbox Dano-German Conflicts was created by the draft editor, nothing more to do here. Also noting for the record there is nothing wrong with templates in the Draft space. Primefac (talk) 08:29, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SpaceX increasing launch cadence has changed the look of List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches. So I need a clone of Template:TLS-M where I can point the month to first launch of the month or none if no launches in that month or to future launches if the launch is pending and is currently in future launches section. I need a clone of Template:TLS-L to list all the Falcon launches as [[F9-300|300]] that have id like "F9-300" so that users can navigate to a particular launch. All is for user viewership of this article. Thanks in advance......—🪦VSVNB1058 (2020-2023) (TALK) 03:27, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mind it this List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches is a wikitable article, not a TLS navigational box so a problem. —🪦VSVNB1058 (2020-2023) (TALK) 03:29, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that this is needed. Firstly nothing has "changed about the look of List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches". The page is just as it's always been. Secondly TLS-M was not intended for the what you want it to use it for. It would make the current page even more busy than it currently is. Thirdly, it is already possible to link directly to missions on the page. Like so: List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches#F9-300 Ergzay (talk) 11:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am asking this List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches#F9-300 for readers and non editors. they can neither link nor have a dialog box like contents sidebar. —🪦VSVNB1058 (2020-2023) (TALK) 12:04, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by "dialog box like contents sidebar"? Ergzay (talk) 13:24, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The three dots on left of page title at the top in destop view if its hidden by you or automatically hidden is contents sidebar. It's a guide to readers to navigate to sections, same will occur if we create a clone of TLS-L—🪦VSVNB1058 (2020-2023) (TALK) 13:33, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I'm still not understanding you. The table of contents is part of the article so it's not a sidebar, and the Falcon 9 list page has a table of contents in the article. So there's nothing readers are missing. Ergzay (talk) 14:16, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want a similar tool to help readers navigate to a particular launch id say 264, like they navigate to sections using table of contents. Clone of TLS-L will help —🪦VSVNB1058 (TALK) 15:23, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you'll get pushback trying to include a table of every single launch like that in the wikipage. Ergzay (talk) 20:48, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh then it will be bad ‍—🪦NΛSΛ B1058 (TALK) 12:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

((S&P Asia 50))

As per request above, would be similar to

But with companies in the S&P Asia 50.

How about an Mbox that represents being a newbie to Wikipedia?

I noticed that there was a similar one, so I will withdraw it. H.K.pauw (talk) 11:09, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would be similar to the blue box at Dunkirk#Corsair_base or Brussels#History, except it would be a template instead of a quote box.

Here's an example of Brussels':

What would be the best way to alter Template:Train station table to make the entire "Stop" and "Destination" columns conditional, to completely disappear from the header and rows when not wanted? See Edgewater railway station for the template in normal use. – Nick Mitchell 98 ^talk 11:12, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Theoretically something like what I've done at Template:Train station table/sandbox could work:

Although I wouldn't be surprised if there was a cleaner way to make that change. LittlePuppers (talk) 22:35, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Old IAFD film IDs (d:Property:P5098) are used in this template: Template:IAFD movie. IAFD has recently started using UUIDs for films. The old links still work. However, the old IDs are no longer visible on the website. As of today, the UUID can be retrieved from Wikidata: d:Property:P12654. All Wikidata items with an old film ID now also have a new film UUID. It would be advisable to adapt your template. -- Reise Reise (talk) 16:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
