To do adjustments

[edit]

I have made a few adjustments to the to do related code in /auxiliary/sandbox.

  1. Converted the presentational table to a more appropriate div.
  2. Use a dark mode token for the background.
  3. Removed support for setting custom styles. Template:WikiProject Freemasonry is the only project which uses them (TODO_STYLE TODO_TITLE_STYLE), and the way in which they are used is not friendly for dark mode, though the particular color flavor happens to be readable. I removed another which was using the default in light mode.

It looks like Module:WikiProject banner/templatepage needs removal of the parameters of interest. Izno (talk) 02:10, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks for the info. I can deal with /templatepage — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:15, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Izno there is a slight spacing inconsistency with the new divs, which you can observe on Template:WikiProject Japan/sandbox. Are you able to line up the text on the left and the [show] links on the right? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:43, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Playing around with the left/right padding on the container seems to do it. Adding 2px on the left and another 2px on the right I think got it. Basically what's happening is that tables have a natural border-spacing (not coincidentally it's 2px) which is padding like but applied slightly differently. Izno (talk) 16:53, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Padding is always inside the border. The spacing outside the border is the margin. See The CSS Box Model. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:27, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Tables are special in that they have the border-spacing property. The point I was making is that in fact there is more to the box model than just padding and margin. Izno (talk) 00:58, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any changes to the sandbox and the example is still looking the same? If you can fix the spacing in the sandbox, I suggest we change all of the collapsible boxes in the module to use div boxes, to keep things consistent — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:46, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Izno are you still interested in this? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:48, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't make any adjustments, which is why you do not see any changes.
I didn't change the other collapsible boxes because they're more or less fairly marked up as tables, from memory (and memory may be wrong of course). Izno (talk) 21:30, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In that case I can't really see a benefit to converting the table to a div, as it will introduce an inconsistency. I have removed the style parameters from /templatepage, so these will now be treated as unknown parameters — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:53, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DOC=auto Please see

[edit]

Small inconsistency: in the #Deprecated parameters section, both listas & class bullets' 2nd sentence should start with either "Please see ..." or "See ..." and not both. This is the only instance of "Please see ..." I see, so preference goes to "See ...".   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  12:00, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Eliminating the remaining uses of Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks and its subpages

[edit]

Low hanging fruit

[edit]

From what I can tell, I think we are all set to delete (under WP:T5) the templates listed above, but I am asking here before actually pushing the button. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:48, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/notecounter is mentioned at Module:WikiProject banner/templatepage#L-24. Other than that, the few transclusions left for the others can be deleted. Gonnym (talk) 09:39, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't want to break that module; can that line just be deleted per WP:BEANS? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:46, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Figured out how to remove it. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:31, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/cats

[edit]

The other remaining subtemplate – Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/cats (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) – is still in use at Template:WikiProject U.S. Roads/cats. I can see of several possible solutions, in order of increasing complexity:

  1. Leave it be.
    • Pros: Very easy
    • Cons: Feels like we are inviting further use of a deprecated template
  2. Move it to Template:WikiProject U.S. Roads/cats/core (or some other subpage)
    • Pros: Easy, prevents use of the template in other locations
    • Cons: Still leaves around some technical debt
  3. Merge its functionality with Template:WikiProject U.S. Roads/cats

I lean towards option 2. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:48, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2 will be the easiest for now and will allow to decouple it from the parent template. Gonnym (talk) 10:01, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have actioned option 2. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:32, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

NA class category warnings

[edit]

While processing a move request for Template:WikiProject Song Contests, and then updating the categories (for the first time), I was caught unaware of the changes to the NA-related categories, Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_December_7#Category:Category-Class_articles. This led to an eventual deletion of Category:NA-importance Song Contests articles and Category:NA-Class Song Contests articles as these became redirects to the now non-existent Eurovision categories.

Then in the Template:WikiProject Song Contests page, warnings came up, requesting to create the 'articles' categories, leading to me recreating the redirects to suppress the warnings (cc: @Liz). Can these warnings be suppressed outright in the module codes since the articles are being automatically set to the 'pages' categories already? – robertsky (talk) 23:09, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I will update those, thanks for the reminder — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:41, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Done, finally got round to this — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:09, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-load templates

[edit]

We are still using the following templates:

and these are also using:

I would firstly like to move these to a more suitable location (as Template:WPBannerMeta is no longer in use) and also to update and simplify this whole family of templates, because things can be done a lot more easily these days — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:16, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. I have moved the three preload templates to Template:WikiProject banner preload template and deleted all the rest which are no longer needed — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:14, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tidy up intersecting categories

[edit]

I am looking at tidying up the intersecting quality/importance categories and there seem to be 3 types:

Misplaced banners by bot

[edit]

In January 2024 there was an error in the bot's code which resulted in edits like this. I suspect that most of these have now been fixed but I am still finding the occasional example. So I was wondering if there is a way we could track these. I think that every banner should be above the first h2 heading, so perhaps some pattern that checks whether the banner code is before the first instance of 2 equals signs (==) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:01, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe similar code to Module:Is infobox in lead? Gonnym (talk) 08:45, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Looks promising — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:37, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
