Tfd top dark mode

[edit]

@JPxG and Sohom Datta: Related to #Inline_styles? (Template talk:Afd top § Inline styles?), can we have a similar dark mode implementation for the actual template {{tfd top}}? 172.97.141.219 (talk) 08:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TFD linking discussion

[edit]

There is a discussion about changing how we notify users about TFDs. Please join in the conversation. Primefac (talk) 18:45, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who replaced {{IPA-art}}?

[edit]

I wish art had been kept. In whose contributions can I see the replacements? Nardog (talk) 12:46, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mine. I used {{IPA}} as the template says to do. Gonnym (talk) 12:55, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, added specific ISO 639 codes as far as I could. You also forgot |label=—see Bertilo Wennergren, Chicxulub crater. Nardog (talk) 13:48, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Please upgrade Module:Tfd links to add the extra "substed" link produced by {{Tfd links2}}. E.g.,:

Comment: The second template uses {{Find substed}}, which is rated as "alpha", not ready for widespread deployment. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:15, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also note that it assumes that the template includes a comment with the name of the template in the substed output. That's not guaranteed. Anomie 23:17, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I put the alpha rating there, because it involves some features of Cirrus regex that were new to me, but I doubt they will be new to Lua programmers. The point is, the concept is sound, you can test {{Tfd links2}} (or {{Find substed}}) with a ton of templates, and afaict it always brings up the correct accurate (even if not complete) results. Maybe a Lua programmer will find an even better, more robust regex than I did, but even if not, the new link is a huge boon to Tfd responders who up to now, simply cannot find real examples in the wild of templates that have been substed. (edit conflict) Mathglot (talk) 23:25, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not guaranteed, but there for all user warning templates currently, and could be introduced gradually to others over time. We shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good: this is a clear win for Tfd responders who currently do not have a clue who is using a substed template or why, and thus have little concrete data upon which to base a decision other than general principles. It could also be used to loop in actual, substed-template users into a discussion to get their perspective; this was done here, for example. If need be, just change the link text, to 'substed (labeled)' or something. At worst, the new link could be suppressed, for those always-subst templates that do not contain the template label in the source. Mathglot (talk) 23:51, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, not suppressed but unlinked (maybe even grayed out) would be ideal, because that would tell you at a glance that you were dealing with an untagged, always-subst template, so you are basically SOL trying to find uses of it, unless you know your regexes and the message has a unique expression you can search for. But not too many responders are going to do that, even if they know how. Mathglot (talk) 01:28, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
