Typo

Resolved

The template puts the text INITATED not INITIATED. Can someone who knows how fix the typo? SPACKlick (talk) 15:37, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

• SPACKlick, thank you for fixing that. Happy editing! — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 17:09, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Resolved tag for usage

Resolved

Is there a way of incorporating a done tag into this template so it can be turned off by adding Status:= Complete or whatever? SPACKlick (talk) 15:54, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

• SPACKlick, that already exists as a previously undocumented |done=yes parameter. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 16:18, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T86390

@Technical 13: The template is categorising ANRFC as admin backlog (which is fine) but also every page to which ANRFC is transcluded (including AN and few pages in userspace). Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:38, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

• Callanecc, it's going to take some serious template-foo magic to make that transclude only one level deep, but I believe I've seen it done before and will dig up where I saw that and see if I can't replicate it here. Might not be right away, I have to do a lot of digging for that. :) — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 00:44, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

• No worries, thanks for looking. When/If you work it out can you let me know, something useful to note down. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:46, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Type parameters

It would be helpful to have the type parameter abbreviations defined on the page, or a link to type definitions. As an irregular user of this template I find myself intermittently searching and wasting time. The list currently reads: afd; block; cfd; drv; ffd; mfd; mrv; rfa; rfc; rfd; rm; rmv; tban; tfd; xfd. Klbrain (talk) 10:06, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

For most of them, there is a direct equivalent in WP: space. For example, afd → WP:AFD; block → WP:BLOCK, cfd → WP:CFD. I've not chcked them all, bit busy today. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:02, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks; the list using that approach is: afd; block; cfd; drv; ffd; mfd; mrv; rfa; rfc; rfd; rm; rmv; tban; tfd; xfd. So, that would provide links for most, but current misses rmv and tban. Perhaps these are WP:RMV (but that's an essay on removing content) and WP:TBAN (seems that only the upper case is redirected for these). xfd also seems ambiguous; does it mean a discussion of any other deletion not defined elsewhere? Klbrain (talk) 08:35, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

I intended my examples to indicate that all of them should be uppercased. As regards |type=rmv, this edit shows that the related process is requested moves, for which the normal shortcut is WP:RM; and this edit shows that |type=rm was also made valid later on. Perhaps rmv was a typo for rm, and was deliberately retained to avoid breaking existing uses. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:06, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

An embedded left-to-right mark causes the template to malfunction

A left-to-right mark may be embedded in the DATE ( parameter {{{1}}}) if the timestamp is copy-pasted into this parameter field. Reported at Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard/Requests for closure#Concerning the instructions for Template:Initiated. See the examples at Template:Initiated/testcases. – wbm1058 (talk) 17:23, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Split tag missing

Can a three letter split tag parameter be added to this template. PicturePerfect666 (talk) 20:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

@PicturePerfect666: I don't understand what you mean by "three letter split tag". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:09, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

You have these ´afd; block; cfd; drv; ffd; mfd; mrv; rfa; rfc(default); rfd; rm; rmv; tban; tfd; xfd’

So maybe not three but a split parameter would be very useful. PicturePerfect666 (talk) 22:24, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

So what you are actually asking for is a new permitted value for the |type= parameter. Nothing to do with tags at all. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:09, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
