::Also have a look at '']''.

Hi. I saw your note at ], and it looks like you have been doing quite a bit of hard work to at least partially orphan this template. I was thinking, how about if we create a template named say {{tl|stack begin}} and {{tl|stack end}}? The reason for this is that one could then track cases where one is used without the other. It would also match the name of {{tl|stack}}, which does basically the same thing as {{tld|Fix bunching}}, but just uses different syntax (i.e., no begin and end). What do you think? Thanks! ] ] 02:50, 25 February 2011 (UTC) |
|
|
:Thanks for the demo on the Calvary Church article. I think I personally like the format of "stack" best of these choices, although "stack begin" and "stack end" might be more intuitively obvious for later editors parsing the code, who might miss the double right braces closing "stack". ] (]) 03:04, 25 February 2011 (UTC) |
|
|
:: (]) I agree, if you are just stacking a couple images, the {{tl|stack}} template does just fine, and is not as complicated. As you point out, the reason for using "stack begin" and "stack end" would be for much longer stacks (e.g., long infoboxes) where you might forget why there is a double curly brace at the bottom of the stack. Having both options seems to be a fairly sensible option to accommodate both cases. Thanks for the feedback! ] ] 03:24, 25 February 2011 (UTC) |

According to wikipedia help sections bgcolor is perfectly fine to use in wikipedia. It's quicker to write and uses less space to boot. Why are you changing the tennis articles?

::: Right, tell ] that it's Microsoft's problem. Actually, it's Misplaced Pages's problem. The WikiMedia software could transform these statements into CSS automatically, and should. It's not a "non-standards" issue, since modern HTML doesn't use bgcolor. It's that the "quirks mode" in other browsers use different logic. ] (]) 22:38, 31 March 2011 (UTC) |

|
::::I'm just trying to get a grasp on why you are changing things that seem to be working fine. There is another big problem that will crop up. There are quite a few pages in the tennis hierarchy which have been argued and mediated to death on their size and whether to split or not. These pages are stable now. Changing from bgcolor= to style="background: adds more characters to a 100k page listing of accomplishments. 100k is pretty much the wiki max. Two or three changes is no matter but a list of 100 champions would increase the size a lot and could cause many more arguments. And with no edit summary, a month down the line when someone notices how large the page is, they may not realize why. ] (]) 22:50, 31 March 2011 (UTC) |

|
::::: There is a big difference between the rendered page size, and the size of the wikisource. If you are just worried about the size of the wikisource, then you could just create more templates, and transclude content. You are correct, in this case, about "seem to be working fine". So long as there is no mixture of style statements and bgcolor statements, it will probably render fine in quirks mode, since bgcolor is not standards compliant. ] (]) 22:54, 31 March 2011 (UTC) |

::::::I'm not worried about page source size, but wikipedia is. There is a limit and many pages butt up against it. You make some interesting points.

If someone wanted to change the colors, one could just edit it in one place. This is what they do for projects like NRHP, with ], for example.

Personally, I have no vested interest in whether there is article on this group. (And chances are good that I wouldn't like their music if I ever heard them.) I do have an interest in that Misplaced Pages makes a reasoned decision whether or not too have an article on this group, so that if (or, according to this article, when) this music group does prove to be notable we Wikipedians have a better answer than for half of us to mumble something about "notability procedures" & the other half to rant about how Misplaced Pages is going to hell because we are too procedure-bound. |

So what should I do from here? The instructions at ] say to discuss any PROD with the responsible Admin first. But if you think that this matter is above your pay grade & we need a consensus on what to do about this one article -- an opinion I can understand, especially since your restore might be overturned with another PROD -- I'd be happy to take it either to Deletion review or some other forum so to bring this to some rational conclusion, even if it is the ]. :) Best, -- ] (]) 22:15, 23 April 2011 (UTC) |

Hi, why was the color of the template changed to blue? |
|
|
] (]) 23:39, 27 April 2011 (UTC) |
|
|
: The color was set to the default per ]. Basically, by using the "titlestyle", "basestyle", "groupstyle" parameters, we are using "inline style statements" which override the default "CSS classes" specified by ]. This is bad for a variety of reasons, most of which are outlined in ]. Most importantly, in my opinion, is that it prevents the visually impaired from setting his/her own ] to select a color scheme with sufficient contrast (as I have done for myself in ]). Secondary is that higher level Montana templates, like ], are using the default, so we should color coordinate with that one. Thank you. ] (]) 19:55, 28 April 2011 (UTC) |

Hello, I was just re-reading your post on my page and wanted to point this line out from the text you quoted: |
|
|
|
|
|
''Deviations from standard conventions are acceptable where they create a semantic distinction (for instance, the infoboxes and navigational templates relating to The Simpsons use a yellow colour-scheme instead of the customary mauve, to tie in with the dominant colour in the series) but should not be used gratuitously.'' |
|
|
|
|
|
That being said, some color changes are entirely proper such as eliminating all of the various colors for the flavored soda templates, e.g. {{tl|grape sodas}}, the wholesale removal of colors from every food and beverage templates was probably a bit too much. As some one who has astigmatism, I too have problems with contrast sometimes and can sympathize with your point of view. --<span style="font-family:lucida sans, sans-serif;">] <small>(] • ])</small></span> 05:09, 28 April 2011 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
: Yes, I agree that there are exceptions (you probably noticed that I didn't change them all to the default). But, when there is no strong association of a single color, we should use the default, or when the associated color has poor contrast. I have mild color blindness issues, so I have set lighter background colors in ]. You can do the same at ], which points to your personal css file. Thank you. ] (]) 17:48, 28 April 2011 (UTC) |

== Tangiers Merged References == |

Hi. I realized you happened to engage in merging references in the ] page. I appreciate the effort, but I intend to reverse that and would to first explain why, lest there be any misunderstanding. As the principal writer of that article, I intend to continue working on it a little more and will be adding more references to it soon, including comments in some of the footnotes to denote variations between sources. Unfortunately, with this "merged references mode", it makes my job immensely more difficult, as I now have to disentangle and run around finding tags across sections. And since I have used specific page references, it only makes it more complicated. I would much prefer to leave the references distinct, at least for a little while longer, to allow me to continue working on it, and would beg holding off merging until the article gets to a more advanced stage. Its only been up for a month or so. Thank you. ] (]) 00:07, 12 May 2011 (UTC) |

Thanks for trying to allow "disp=nocomma" for ranges, but options already exist (as range-words "tonocomma" or "-nocomma" etc.), without the need to create 144(?) variations of the Convert/Dual subtemplates, to also handle related options. The main problem is that dual conversions should never have been allowed in that format, which has created extreme complexity as hundreds of subtemplates, compared to {{tl|Convert/3}} as being far simpler while handling 3 amounts. I am thinking we need to have a {{tl|Convert/2}} to allow more options in the future. Meanwhile for the no-comma options, see: ]. Sorry, I have been so busy with numerous other Convert issues. Thanks again. -] (]) 16:22, 27 May 2011 (UTC) |

Actually, what I had tried to do with my percentage was to make the quote box the same width as the infobox, and the best I could do was get really close. Do you know how to do that more exactly? Also, just because your changes have been minor doesn't mean they haven't been really important. I don't know how you were able to find a source for her birthday, but I'm really glad you did, because my (many) searches for it failed, and the article really needed it!
