Added the comma and "that is" in: "Avoid using free links (e.g. <code><nowiki>http://www.example.org/{{Dead link}}</nowiki></code>), as software that is unable to handle templates may read an incorrect link".

11 July 2022

• curprev 12:0412:04, 11 July 2022 Dan Harkless talk contribs m 8,153 bytes +3 Disambiguated: «set it to blank» → «set it to be blank». Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
• curprev 12:0012:00, 11 July 2022 Dan Harkless talk contribs m 8,150 bytes +4 On the actual template page, a space before {{dead link}} gets automatically removed by some code somewhere, which doesn't happen when previewing an edit of the doc page, so surrounded the example {{dead link}} and {{dead link |fix-attempted=yes}} with quotes. Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
• curprev 11:5711:57, 11 July 2022 Dan Harkless talk contribs 8,146 bytes +323 The documentation incorrectly indicated that only setting fix-attempted to "yes" would result in "[permanent dead link]". Corrected to note that any non-blank value, including "no", currently has that effect. A better fix would be to update the code to specifically distinguish "yes", "Yes", "YES", "y", and "Y" from all other values, but I don't have the privileges to edit it. If someone makes that change, it would also be good to make attempted-fix a synonym for the parameter (easy to mix up). Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

30 April 2020

• curprev 19:5419:54, 30 April 2020 Milker talk contribs 7,548 bytes +53 It's ridiculous that all improvements (e.g. clearer examples, explanation) are reverted simply because you feel there are a few "strange syntax". The syntax works as intended which provides better portability (templates are often used cross-site. That's why we should improve portability). Please don't revert simply because you don't know what they are for.
