Trusty

Is deletion necessary? I figured a redirect would suffice. –MJLTalk 18:30, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MJL I believe the outcome of the discussion was merge not delete. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 13:06, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The script des not work

Dear user, Thank you for your very usefull scripts! I am just irrelevant with coding, so I would like to kindly ask you to help me here: User:Enivak/monobook.js. For some reason, I copied this, I opened 2 articles to edit and I never saw <<a bunch of 'Spork' buttons in your 'toolbox' on the left side of your browser>> (I never saw a toolbox, also). I have reloaded the page as needed, what can I do to make this useful script work? Best regards, Eni vak (speak) 22:02, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Enivak what are you trying to do? Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 13:09, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

problematic template in project namespace

Hello Plastikspork, as I see, you are still working with templates, so I want to ask you something about an old substitution template. It is Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada Roads/Saskatchewan/Template:Saskatchewan Highways which you moved into project space after the deletion discussion Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2012 January 31#Template:Saskatchewan Highways that I have found in the link list. In the edit history, I see substantial fixes in 2012, but not very much has happened there afterwards.

SriMesh (who also isn't very active now anymore and made their last edits back in March) wrote in the 2012 discussion "I think it would also be useful from project space, or it could be in my sandbox if no one else wishes to use it." And I think this would be a good idea for the template now after 7 years, because it is still not working and therefore noone can use it anyway. They should either fix it there or leave it unfixed in their own namespace. See my test edit, what errors this template still produces when it is substituted. There are really a lot of template use instructions in this substitution, but there exists no doc page for it. Everything is in the template and is being substituted. In this way, it can't be used. Either the template has to be fixed or moved into user space, because a broken template which is permanent in project space, but never useable, is not good. Or it is time for another deletion discussion. Can you please do anything with this long and useless template? Greetings --2A02:908:D83:E460:216:CBFF:FEAD:FF9 (talk) 13:28, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
