Template help!

Hello! The template you made (Template:USGS Index ID) has an issue where it will insert line feed characters and break CS1 templates. Please fix. BhamBoi (talk) 21:45, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

USGS 70032860 BhamBoi (talk) 21:46, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
It managed to turn my signature into code blocks, and also causes errors in {{cite journal}}:
Tucker, D.; Hildreth, W.; Ullrich, T.; Friedman, R. (2007). "Geology and complex collapse mechanisms of the 3.72 Ma Hannegan caldera, North Cascades, Washington, USA". Geological Society of America Bulletin. 119 (3–4): 329–342. Bibcode:2007GSAB..119..329T. doi:10.1130/b25904.1. ISSN 0016-7606. S2CID 128417330. USGS 70032860. BhamBoi (talk) 21:47, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
(Actually, because that worked... It seems to cuase an error when following the ResearchGate template:
Tucker, D.; Hildreth, W.; Ullrich, T.; Friedman, R. (2007). "Geology and complex collapse mechanisms of the 3.72 Ma Hannegan caldera, North Cascades, Washington, USA". Geological Society of America Bulletin. 119 (3–4): 329–342. Bibcode:2007GSAB..119..329T. doi:10.1130/b25904.1. ISSN 0016-7606. S2CID 128417330. ResearchGate:249527328 USGS 70032860.

@BhamBoi: Hmm. Looks like an extra line feed got appended to the end of the template. Let me know if any of the others have the same issue. VanIsaac, GHTV contWpWS 01:11, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
Wow, that's a pernicious newline that mediawiki automatically inserts. I guess I must have run into it before when making inline templates, but that's really bad engineering. VanIsaac, GHTV contWpWS 03:47, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
Was it successfully removed? BhamBoi (talk) 03:50, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
@BhamBoi: Well, your signature above looks okay now, and I used AWB to apply the same solution to all of the new templates, so I certainly hope so. But really, you are in a better position to tell me because you know all the ways you got the error in the first place and can see if it no longer appears. VanIsaac, GHTV contWpWS 04:09, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
True, does seem to be fixed! Thanks again for these! BhamBoi (talk) 04:12, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, Vanisaac. I noticed that your recent edit to Da (Indic) added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 05:30, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics

Can you tell me where Andrew Dalby's "Dictionary Of Languages" says these are derived from Devanagari? I can't seem to find that in the copy I have. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 23:51, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Now that's a very different story than you had before. I've added an online reference that I know supports it now. But I highly disagree with you blanking entire sections of content because you disagree with one particular claim within that section. There is a lot of content on Wikipedia that makes the connection between handwritten Devanagari script and the letterforms for the original Ojibway syllabics, and it does so without being contested even when it's not explicitly cited everywhere. But I do have a more direct citation of it now: Zui. "Writing in North America — Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics". The Language Closet. Retrieved 2 April 2023. VanIsaac, GHTV contWpWS 00:04, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Ok, but more sources would be helpful, because the previous ones didn't seem to mention the connection. And it just took me a while to find a copy. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 00:05, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

"Proper font support" on Kaktovik numerals

I'm not objecting to your restoration of text, but I too cannot see the numerals in question — and this is even after I installed the two fonts at the first external link, rebooted my computer, and tried two different browsers. So I support also restoring the SVG characters, at least until the Unicode works (not just for me). – Raven  .talk 02:54, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Another article title we might want to reconsider. — kwami (talk) 05:27, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Numeric HTML entity

Just an FYI that might save you some time...   is the same as writing a regular ASCII space " " with the spacebar. If you're looking to add spaces without line breaks, I recommend {{nowrap}}. -- Beland (talk) 19:20, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Finally found another active user who knows chinook jargon (at least a little!) I've been writing pages on the Incubator (https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/chn/Tayi-pipa) for the past few months. Nice to see that I'm not the only one on here. POSSUM chowg (talk) 18:06, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
