Template talk:Editnotices/Namespace/Template

This is the talk page of the namespace notice for the Template space.
Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Template can only be edited by administrators. All editnotices (except those in userspace) are protected via MediaWiki:Titleblacklist, so the "protection" status as set by the protection tab is mostly irrelevant.

Link to documentation

I propose the following addition to this page, which will remind editors to update the documentation subpage (if it exists) when editing the template. Any comments welcome. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{#ifexist:{{FULLPAGENAME}}/doc
 |{{editnotice
  | text  = When making changes to this template please be sure to update its [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}/doc|documentation]].
  | image = Attention yellow.png
 }}
}}

I've stuck it in. I probably should have discussed this somewhere first, but couldn't think of the best place. Anyhow, revert at will, if it's not wanted. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:24, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Link to sandbox

I've stuck in a link to the template /sandbox, if it exists. Hope this is useful, if not please revert. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:50, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could a CSS ID be added for each individual edit notice, so that they're inline with other generic namespace editnotices. Thanks in advance, —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 11:34pm • 13:34, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Which individual editnotices ? This is a namespace editnotice. Suggestions for naming patterns ?? —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:31, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are 5 separate editnoticed loaded by this page. I guess the OP is asking for each of them to have a separate ID. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:05, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

James, could you please make the required changes in a sandbox somewhere and reactivate the request? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:04, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Editnotice text change

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

Hi all,

at the helpdesk a question was posted about the text "When making changes to this template please be sure to update its documentation". This text is an editnotice on templates that have a documentation page (example). The user was making a minor content change and got scared by the editnotice. I propose changing the text. I propose: "When making major changes to this template please be sure to update its documentation". Feedback is very welcome.

Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 15:10, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A link to this discussion has been placed at Wikipedia talk:Editnotice

Since it has been two weeks without feedback, and considering that it is a minor change, I would like to request that an admin make the suggested change. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 15:05, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the rights to make this change. But for the record, I agree with it. --ais523 00:35, 27 October 2014 (U T C)a

Copy from Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Template/sandbox to remove a bunch of obsolete code related to print versions of templates (see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 July 13#Print subpages) * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:03, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done @Pppery: this just went live, if there are any issues you see please ping me here. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:18, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest removing This is the [[Wikipedia:Template documentation|documentation page]] of the template ''[[Template:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]''.. It pops up in VE and on mobile and it seems just like Captain Obvious?

Alternatively it could be wrapped within <span class="nomobile"></span>, that won't help on desktop but it's something. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 22:52, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done @Alexis Jazz: I added the nopopupnotice class to it, that should exempt it from WP:ENOM. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:54, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As far as if it should be otherwise removed - a bit more discussion may be useful there first. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:55, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Change links to plainlinks without the "external link logo" as described here Toadette ^{(Let's talk together!)} 17:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done — xaosflux ^Talk 17:23, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ToadetteEdit and Xaosflux: The construct

<small style="font-style: normal"><span class="plainlinks">...</span></small>

can nearly always be simplified - the class= attribute is valid on all HTML elements (without exception), so we may put

<small style="font-style: normal" class="plainlinks">...</small>

- but even that can be simplified, because the {{editnotice}} template accepts a |class= parameter, so this is all that is necessary. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:43, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
