Template:Burger King

Hi again and thanks for your friendly message. Here are some answers:

  1. <br/> would be okay except it doesn't always look different from a wrapped line and people might not realize what each line has in common. So, I've just edited the template to use the same idea as the Websites section: {{Navbox subgroups}}. It's more complicated, yes, but usually more robust.
  2. {{·}} is meant for use anywhere (I think), whereas {{·w}} is meant for use between those {{nowrap begin}} and {{nowrap end}} tags. But why bother with {{nowrap begin}}...{{·w}}...{{·w}}...etc...{{nowrap end}}? Well, the Firefox browser currently appears to have a bug when it comes to linewrapping, meaning that something like "ThisIsAnItemWithALongName{{·}}" could overrun the righthand edge of a template, depending on the template's size and the size of the Firefox window. The Firefox programming community has been notified, but it'll take a while before it's sorted and most Firefox users have upgraded. More here (fast-forward to sections 2.3.1 and 2.4 if reading the whole page looks too boring/daunting).
  3. {{CTT}} (a shortcut to {{Company template tagline}}) is just a template I came up with to try to simplify/regularize making those "Annual revenue...Employees...Stock symbol...Website" lines that often appear at the bottoms of templates about companies (e.g. check out Company templates). I'm meaning someday to try using it in more of these templates. What do you think?
  4. {{Nowrap}} formats (or tries to format) stuff with the style "white-space:nowrap", i.e. no linewrapping allowed at spaces. ({{Nowrap begin}}...{{nowrap end}} does something similar, but more rigorously -- the same Firefox glitch can occur with {{nowrap}}.)

Hope at least some of that helps. Sardanaphalus (talk) 08:12, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
PS Because it's on the large side, I just made the template appear collapsed by default (other than on its own page). Hope that's okay. If it is okay in general but there are particular pages where you reckon it should already be visible, the "state" parameter can be used (state = expanded).

Please remember, that once you revamp the Burger King article, it will probably get reverted over the next couple months by vandals and other user. I hate to see you waste all that time for nothing. thanks. Dwilso 08:54, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Korean cuisine. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Badagnani (talk) 20:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Sorry, Your attempt at retaliation for my report of your three-r violation is a thinly veiled attempt to make me look like the bad guy. Won't work. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 20:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will second that this was not blanking, blanking has a completely different definition than removal of inappropriate tags. Especially when there seems to be an effort on Wikipedia to stop the excessive use of different tags as they are disruptive to both editors and readers.--Chef Tanner (talk) 22:00, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I bequeath unto thee

The Original Barnstar
Long past due for all of the efforts you put into for WikiProject Food and Drink and for generally being a swell guy who always seems to help me out when I need it most. You are a true Wikipedian of honor and a friend. Now go back to work. Chef Tanner (talk) 02:34, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yer a genius

What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
For those banner thingies (and indirectly, your unbridled passion for assessment of articles) I bequeath unto thee this barnstar, only because I couldn't find a boot to the head barnstar.Chef Tanner (talk) 23:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Could you help?

The article Burger King legal issues is undergoing a featured article review and I would like some assistance in insuring the Burger King Corporation v. Hungry Jack's Pty Limited ([2001] NSWCA 187) is properly cited and factually correct. Searching through the WP:AUSLAW project I came across your page.

Your user page says you are a law student in Australia, thus you have a serious leg up on me in the area. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

The FAC discussion is here

Thank you for your time, --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 19:21, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I saw that mentioned on the Australian law WikiProject talk page. I think you've got the facts essentially right there, but the section's a little weak on the actual legal significance there, it could do with a little clarification. It's actually quite an interesting case so I'm putting together a draft article on it, which shouldn't take too long, and then I'll work on the summary section. --bainer (talk) 02:18, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
