== Minor updates ==

Good morning,

1. I think the changes at ] relating to {{para|caption}}, {{para|image_caption}}, and {{para|logo_caption}} are complete. That took many months for all the cases using caption to be found (at least I think it's done - there was a period where there were just a few more in the category daily and then suddenly there were 200 more one day. But I haven't seen any for a while, so I think you can fully remove {{para|caption}}. In addition to clearing up the ones where the caption was applied to the wrong image, there were many where caption was being used to display a slogan (which you know has been deprecated). Those are gone now, but of course we can't stop people from using logo_caption or image_caption for a slogan.

2. On the thumbfix script, can you add "static_image/static_image_caption" as another varient? That is the one I see most frequently that isn't handled.

Thanks for all the help. ] 14:51, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

== Fb cl bot ==

I have been thinking about attempting automatic conversion of the fb cl template family to ] and would like to hear what you think about it as you've been doing some conversions manually. What do you think the biggest issues will be? My first impression is that it's more difficult than the aircraft specs mergers but will be able to convert a larger portion of templates. --] (]) 22:17, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
: ], I have been doing about 300 per week using a script to do most of the work. the script is thousands of lines long, and still requires human eyes/input. there are several things that make this a difficult task to completely automate: (1) meaningful team abbreviations (attempts in the past have ignored this and just used ONE TWO THR or AAA BBB CCC which is suboptimal) (2) point notes (the last AWB attempt completely mangled most of these or missed them when they were outside of the table) (3) result notes (the last AWD attempt either mangled or ignored these, especially hard when they appear outside of the table) (4) use of {{tag|sup}} or {{tag|ref}} or * for point notes, but not using the point note parameters (5) for team season articles, the tables should be transcluded from the parent league season or competition article. my fb.js script shows just a fraction of the complexity. I would rather just finish the conversions semi-manually, using my script. I should be done with the fb cl2 team templates in a few months. ] (]) 13:38, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
::{{u|Frietjes}} That sounds a lot more complicated than I thought and you're making really good progress. I guess there isn't much need for making a ridiculusly complicated bot. Thank you for doing this! --] (]) 16:16, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Halo! Also pinging {{ping|Plastikspork}} I see we're now using OSM map locators for a lot of articles which often don't really show where the building is located in a city or region without having to click it and zoom out. I was wondering if it could be coded so that you can zoom out with the mouse without having to click it? I think you should be able to glance at the infobox and get a rough idea of where it is without having to navigate, we already have the wiki globe for the same purpose.♦ ] 21:41, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
:], the default zoom for {{tl|infobox building}} is set to 13, but can be changed on an article-by-article basis using {{para|mapframe-zoom}}. if you would like to change the default, you should ask at ], otherwise, you can use {{para|mapframe-zoom}} to set it for a particular article. ] (]) 21:48, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
Thanks. I think it should be default and allow more flexibility. I'll mention it tomorrow. Tot ziens! You are Dutch??♦ ] 21:52, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
:], note that it may be possible to dynamically adjust the zoom without leaving the article (similar to the radio buttons for the location maps) but that would require some additional coding and would probably increase the page source size (since you would be loading more than one map with different zoom levels). to make a more serious feature addition like that, you should probably ask at ], which is what makes the maps. not dutch, but did study in Belgium, and love the fries. ] (]) 21:55, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
::I have a question on this. I have never really liked these OSM maps by themselves and was wondering if they could be combined with location maps - i.e. display the OSM map (probably as default) as one the radio buttons along with other location maps. That would be a quick way to see bigger areas without zooming out the OSM map (which would still work as well). Before I propose this anywhere, do you think it is feasible to implement? ] 00:53, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

== Biblioteca marciana ==

Hello, I noticed your notification that the Marciana template was being considered for deletion and then, after a few hours, a substantial change to the info box. I was hoping to have the time to discuss the issue and find a solution. I had actually considered using the Library template and the building template but neither would have been adequate. You've combined them which may be a step in the right direction, but some of the categories don't quite fit. "Other designers" is not appropriate for the artists involved. Also, it seems that the collection consists just of classics and Venetian history whereas these are specializations. The Marciana has a full range of books. Most importantly, the whole box is now so long that it pushes all of the images further down the page, and they no longer correspond to the relevant text. It would help if you could remove the map. As a better solution (from my perspective) would it be possible to simply have the information on the Marciana page without involving a template?] (]) 20:37, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Please let me know if you're spending too much time on this. The upper part looks '''great'''. Please don't alter it. If I understand correctly, the background shading is controlled by the template. So it is not possible to "pick and choose" which lines to highlight with background color. But in an earlier version you did, there was no gray anywhere, including in the lower (building) section. Is it still possible to remove all background color? Given the impossibility to use the shading in specific areas only, it would be best if there were none.] (]) 17:14, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you again. It's the best solution. As I now understand it, even if you insert another infobox, the basic scheme (layout and colors) is still determined by the initial infobox.

: {{U|MB}}, you could put them both in the infobox or you could use {{para|upright}} to scale the bottom image to something larger like . unfortunately, you cannot set image widths in em units and the infobox is set to be 22em wide. you could also resize the infobox image to something larger in px units and then make the lower image the same px units to match. but, this would not respect someone's personal thumbsize. ] (]) 14:26, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
::Okay... I was hoping there was something like a magicword variable that could be used set the image size, or maybe a wrapper like ] which would size the image or images to the infobox. (in this example, the image happens to be about the same size as the infobox because the map is missing). ] 23:31, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
::: {{U|MB}}, there are basically two choices for sizing images: (1) use {{para|upright|1.25}} which makes the image 125% of the native thumb size, or (2) use a fixed size using px units for either the width (250px) or height (x175px) of the image. the only real exception to this is what we get from {{tag|gallery}} with {{para|mode|packed}} which can dynamically resize the images as you change the browser window size. so, to have the images the same size, they have to be using the same sizing method. the method used by {{tl|infobox shopping mall}} is either the default thumb width (around 220px) or {{para|image_width}} which sets the size in px units. we could probably add {{para|image_upright}} to allow you to set the size of the image inside the infobox using "upright" scaling, but you would then need to use the same syntax for the image outside the box. finally, you could just put both the images in the infobox using {{tl|multiple image}} with {{para|border|infobox}} to get a frameless image array, but this doesn't seem to be your goal. by the way, it looks like the default frame width for the mapframe is around 270px, so you could use {{para|image_width|270px}} if you want the mapframe to be the same size as the image (). ] (]) 00:11, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
::::I think that looks best. I do that sometimes with a small article and a single image under the infobox. But I usually guess at the size and "preview" and change the size and "preview" several times before I get them the same width. Even then, it's not permanent because the infobox width could change if say, a map is added, and they would be out of sync again. So ideally, it would be {{para|image_width|same-as-infobox-width}}.

== Opera Composer templates ==
I thank you for your effort to clean-up old unused / redundant opera navigation templates. Just for your info and as mentioned in the TFD, back in 2006, we (]) started with composer navigation template (old format) but over the time, we changed the format and positioned them at the bottom of opera articles, instead of on top right like the old one. It was a lot of work and was done by various authors including me. Once the new templates were done, we replaced the old one. However, please also note that some old templates are still in-used, probably because the author of the new template did not remove them when they added the new one. That makes it redundant because now we have 2 navigation templates for opera list on the top right (old template) and the bottom (new template). For less noted composers with only few opera / composition works, some of them do not have the new navigation template - still using the old one.

== ] usage ==

Hi, thanks for your recent edit on ].

The objective of that sandbox is to convert ] to use ].

I have some question about parameter usage for results and statuses.

In the converted template, I have these:

<pre>|col_F = green1 |text_F = Advance to the Finals
|col_2x = green2 |text_2x = Twice-to-beat in the semifinals
|col_SF = blue1 |text_SF = Twice-to-win in the semifinals
</pre>

However, result "F" isn't used at most cases. So I often see warning messages: {{color|red|<nowiki>orphaned results = text_F</nowiki>}} and {{color|red|<nowiki>orphaned results = col_F</nowiki>}}

Is there any way to hide these when not used?

Hi Frietjes. I saw that you were the last person to edit the Sports table for Volleyball.

Would like to get your thoughts on this. Thanks! (]) 02:59, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

== findargdups bug report - typo introduced ==

Hello, please see ] by ] for the introduction of one misspelling to replace another; in particular, the double initial caps in '''POlice''' was changed by the bot to '''Pllice''', not a serious problem in and of itself, but puzzling, and which may be based on some underlying fault which could have more serious consequences under other circumstances. (The other change in that edit, removing a reduplicated ''accessdate'' param, was accurate.)

Finally, it isn't clear where you want to receive bug reports for the bot. May I suggest a new section <code><nowiki>==&nbsp;How to report bugs&nbsp;==</nowiki></code> on your subpage where you specify where, and perhaps how, you wish to receive notices such as this one?

:{{tps}} findargdups is a script, not a bot. It does not make edits on its own; it only indicates what the problem template is.

Hoi. Ik vroeg mij af jij mij misschien kan helpen. Ik heb namelijk een probleempje met de Nederlandse versie van de Module:Sports results (]). Ik heb de deze Nederlandse versie een paar jaar geleden aangemaakt. Op dat moment bevatte de originele Engelse versie geen optie om opmerking toe te voegen aan de opgelijste wedstrijden. Die functionaliteit werd daar later toegevoegd en ik heb dan ook geprobeerd deze functionaliteit aan de Nederlandse versie toe te voegen. Dit is mij enigszins gelukt. De functionaliteit zit nu wel degelijk in de module en is goed bruikbaar. Alleen slaag ik er niet om de opmerking/notities correct te laten verschijnen in een artikel. Ik heb ] als testartikel gebruikt. Daar staat een grote tabel die ] met een opmerking erin. Deze opmerking verschijnt echter niet onder de tabel op de voorbehouden plaats, zoals op de Engelse wiki, maar temidden van de referentielijst onderaan het artikel. Voor zover ik kan zien wordt dit nu veroorzaakt door een fout in de module zelf, maar door de werking van de referentie- of notitiesjablonen. Ik kan helaas echter niet vinden wat ik zou moeten aanpassen en hoe. Zou jij hier enige klaarheid in kunnen scheppen of hulp kunnen bieden?]]]1 20:18, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
: {{U|Tvx1}}, I think I fixed it. there were basically two problems: (1) in some places the module was using ] and ] and in some places it was using ], and (2) the ] and ] templates are not correct (or at least not consistent with the ] template). I made some minor changes to ] and ], but my changes were not really correct. since you were the one who originally imported those templates, I would suggest re-importing them and translating the groups (e.g., 'lower-alpha' in ] should be 'kleine-letter' in ], etc.). since efn/notelist are only used on three pages right now, it should be pretty easy to make sure you don't break anything. ] (]) 14:44, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Nice for you to stop by at my sandbox.

== Display of title in infobox embedded under Infobox football biography ==

Hello, I was having an issue with embedding an infobox, and was wondering if you would be able to help. At ], {{tl|Infobox military person}} is embedded under {{tl|Infobox football biography}}, but the title "Military career" does not span across the entire length of the infobox, possibly since the football infobox uses {{tl|Infobox3cols}}? Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks! ] (]) 19:01, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
: ], should be better now. {{U|Jonesey95}} had the right idea, but I think I fixed it. for anyone who is interested, when you use {{para|child|yes}} with the infobox module it returns the value in {{para|title}} as plain text, ignores anything in {{para|above}} and returns the rest of the infobox without the surrounding {{tag|table}}. changes to the infobox module allow it to detect embedded boxes and correct any linter errors (see the fixChildBoxes function at the top of ]). it may be possible to tweak that function to handle the {{para|title}} case better, but I have found that an easier method is to just put the child box heading in {{para|subheader}} (assuming that's possible). if we could go back and rewrite history, we probably should have had child boxes include the surrounding {{tag|table}} just without any table border. we could then use the fixChildBoxes code to strip the {{tag|table}} when desired to make a single table. but, this would make 3col embedding in 2col tables (and the reverse) less error prone. note that infobox3cols includes the outer {{tag|table}} to facilitate embedding in 2col tables. 15:51, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:Location map Kingdom of Hungary

From my talk page back in september.

Bugger bugger bugger, I saw a map in the transport museum in budapest we went the other week and it had the lat and long but in pretty much a mercator projection. My missus was more interested with the toy trains so I didn't get a chance to take the measures off it. If it's wrong (as it is) it should be deleted but I am still trying to get the measures right. The thing is it's specifically Kingdom of Hungary, but the more atlases (atli? :) I look at the more different lats and longs I get. And anything one does on Hungarian articles is rather contentious, so it is probably really better deleted. Because people whose great grandfathers were part of the Kingdom of Hungary will say no that's Croatia or Slovakia or Slovenia or Yugoslavia or Jugoslavia or The People's Republic of East Kebab. Since Hungarian politics is very contentious and goes on racist grounds in far more than would be allowed in where I come from, this is better off deleted. (Hint: say Treaty of Trianon to a Hungarian and await results.) Si Trew (talk) 09:36, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Hungary ethic groups.jpg
I never did get round to this. I took the coords off of file at right, which is very high quality but seems to have an odd idea of where 0 longitude is (it suggests it is east of Paris, but that didn't seem to work). As you suggested, I tried to take well-known points at the edges of the map: Fiume, for example, at south-west. I took very good readings after printing out this map at A0 size and using ruler and compass, my trig is quite good, but I could never get it to fit. Si Trew (talk) 06:02, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
.Oh, Template:Location_map_Kingdom_of_Hungary/test might help you. You see, Fiume's in the right place but Budapest is a bit too far left and the rest are well out. Si Trew (talk) 06:09, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
That map uses the Paris meridian. It's not a Mercator projection, the lines of latitude aren't quite parallel. Maproom (talk) 20:09, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Maproom, thanks for the tip. I have written code for generating coefficients for nonlinear projections if I know the functional form. but, the code requires at least as many reference points as there are coefficients. basically a nonlinear least-squares algorithm. the problem here is that other than the reference markings on the side of the map, it's tough to get reference points in the middle. Frietjes (talk) 21:18, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Si Trew, should we just give up on Template:Location map Kingdom of Hungary and have it deleted? Frietjes (talk) 21:20, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
How many do you need in the middle? You get get a reference point near each corner by specifying where the nearest line of (Paris) longitude would cross the nearest line of latitude, and use towns like Szolnok (which Google Earth says is 47°10'N 20°11'E Greenwich) in the middle. Maproom (talk) 21:37, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Maproom, now that I look at it again, I think we have enough with the two interior intersection points and the points along the edges. the original question was about the image in Template:Location map Kingdom of Hungary which is less clear. for File:Hungary-ethnic_groups.jpg, I think we can make a working location map. thank you again. Frietjes (talk) 21:42, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Just a thought, maybe not very coherent at this time of night. Using an ethnographic map as a location map may, as Si Trew pointed out, be contentious. Will it help if instead I upload to Commons this map? It uses a Ferro meridian, which is no worse than Paris, and shows enough towns such as Szolnok for central reference points. Maproom (talk) 22:02, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Maproom, that may help. let's see what Si Trew says. my main focus is turning map images into working location maps. I don't really have a strong feeling about the particular map image, so long as it is created with a well-defined projection. Frietjes (talk) 22:06, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Just asking out of curiosity – how do you "turn a map image into a location map"? Do you warp it into the Mercator projection that the template requires? Or do you supply the template with a transform function? Maproom (talk) 07:24, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
Maproom, supply the transformation function. see, for example, module:Location map/data/Canada. if I know the functional form and a sufficient number of reference points, I can numerically solve for the coefficients. Frietjes (talk) 12:40, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
Thank you. It's reassuring to see that things are done in such a sensible and comprehensible way. Incidentally – if you ever find a map image at http://maproom.org/ that you could use in Misplaced Pages, please let me know and I'll put it on Commons. Maproom (talk) 09:46, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for pinging me in on this. I know it was a long time ago. User:Maproom, yes I did guess it was the Paris Meridian all that time ago, but that didn't seem quite to fit either. Since then I took something and with Inkscape made a four-colour map (five if you include Lake Balaton as a fifth colour, blue, but could have been made a fourth colour as those that surround it are all in three other colours, it is just more pleasant to have it in blue but not mathematically necessary) and split out all the layers and borders and so on into separate layers on the SVG. I seem to recall I called it Template:Location Map Hungary2 or something – and I emphasise this is not the Kingdom of Hungary but the modern-day Hungary. All I had left to do was get the text labelling right. Searching for "a new look for an old map" was something roughly want some commenter said, may well have been User:Frietjes here but may not have been (a long time ago, just going from memory: and those exact words are what was printed on the front of the first H C Beck fold-up London Underground Diagram (often called "Map"; Beck himself never called it a map: I have good references for this from publications of the London Transport Museum in woodware) of 1933, so I am probably confusing those words with the same sentiment expressed. This is all such a long time ago, I give as hints for those who can search better than I.
On the plus side, by pure coincidence (these are not common around here in Budapest) my local pub has a nice 1898ish German (I think) map of Austria-Hungary; certainly pre-Treaty of Trianon. This is a five or six colour map and I am pretty sure it is in German but I am going from memory, I don't think it's in Hungarian. It would be about 40 by 25 inches (1,020 mm × 640 mm) and I daresay somehow I could get it scanned in, in one of the largescale printers in the town (who I happen to be also on good terms with, for various other reasons) or just take four A3 scans and stitch them with photoshop, assuming that my scanner doesn't distort too much. I am on good terms with the landlord as I have given him my British registration plates and various other British pub memorablia, it is that kind of pub, very much a "local", so I can ask to borrow the map (it's framed) or just go in on a quiet afternoon with a straightedge etc and try to get some measures off that. I think it is not the same as the image is here, though quite similar. As a start shall I get the maker etc, would that help at all, before I do the trig etc off it? I have a very good straightedge and fifty quids worth of setsquare adjustable protractor that I use for technical drawing on my A0 drawing board, it's about 25 inches (640 mm) long on its hypotenuese, which should be enough to measure angles and distances with some kinda veracity, I am not sure of the projection without looking again. Is it worth me taking a look and reporting back, probably will be about UTC+2 Friday tomorrow, else Monday? If you give me some nice trig points "in the middle" I will do my best to give you the readings off of them. These won't be 100% accuracy but will be within a second of arc or two through the distortion of the glass in the frame, I would imagine. Si Trew (talk) 16:05, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
I understand if it is WP:COPYVIO etc but if I check the maker first, it may very well turn out not to be because of the date and also various other "things that have happened since", could well be PD or fair use. I think I check the maker first, that is clear enough in top right corner but don't remember offhand. Would that be of any use, at least to confirm or deny if it's the same as this one? It reminded me of this one, when I first saw it, but I think it is different but of about the same time. Si Trew (talk) 16:40, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
File:Hungary_location_map.svg is the one I made the four-colour svg version of. It just needs tidying on the text labels layer if I remember right, I can't remember its name. The computer it was on is long gone. File:Hungary location map2.svg? Something like that. We have File:Hungary location map-2.jpg on Commons, but that's not it, cos it's not four-colour and has labels in Cyrillic, is a jpg not an svg. Perhaps unfortunately it got deleted as unused. I'd need to ask an admin to dredge from about 2009 onwards. Users working on it would have been mostly me and perhaps occasionally the missus, no longer editing at Misplaced Pages for many a year due to very harsh and undeserved comments after excellent translations of English articles about the Tudors into HU:WP (something she is an expert in, more than I know and I'm bloody English): Her username was/is User:Monkap.

OK, the map you included wrongfooted me, this is exactly the map that is nominated (duh!) I was looking at the map you included on the right. No, don't give up on it, I'll try to fix it. It is nearly OK, all the coords and borders and counties etc are done on separate labels and I think it is much better than the boring brown map transcluded via {{Infobox Hungarian settlement}}. We just need to fix the edges and fix the text-label layer for some reason the font doesn't scale properly, I never did work out why, I shall try again. One reason to separate into different layers in a good GIS fashion is so that with a flick of the wrist one can turn off all the labels, turn off e.g. the county borders, make all the counties brown and just fill one particular county in a different colour (for Hungarian county articles) etc etc etc. I hand-edited the XML for the SVG to make it all nice, it's much much nicer than its predecessor for putting into a GIS etc because each county edge and county border and county name etc is labeleed in a very consistent fashion. The underlying SVG is File:Kingdom_of_Hungary_counties-2.svg. The polygons for the borders go actually in a kinda "cogwheel" order so that some going anticlockwise have their boundaries against the others going clockwise, rather in a toothed gearwheel manner, but that was just my pedantry; each county actually has its own borders as it did on the original, but on the original the borders for e.g Budapest to Pest County were a bit different from the borders of Pest County to Budapest, i.e. there was a gap or overlap, which now there is not in "my" version, they have all the coordinates bang on, as I did them all in hand in the XML not with some "snap it roughly to where it looks right" tool. All the bordering points have the same coords but the opposite directions (clockwise or widdershins) which helps the SVG polygon fill get it right without overlap or gap.
I think we should keep it and try to fix the labels and the "fix" coordinates for it. I suppose this was a labour of love but I think it does make it better than what is used in the infobox, it scales except for the text labels and the old one has errors in the border coords that leave gaps or overlaps, it just doesn't seem so at the scale used in infoboxes, as the rendering of the borders and the pushpins for the places are far larger than the errors, at even a large-screen resolution scale. If you blow it up and print it onto A0 (paper size) is is noticeable. Si Trew (talk) 17:05, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
The text labels are fine on my I think 1972 across screen in full view. When I made this I think I had a 1024x768 screen. It's when the labels are all squished they don't scale down properly, and get all scrunched up, I have never quite worked out why. There is a style that governs it, and I tried all sorts of things but none worked. Si Trew (talk) 21:04, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Something I noticed

I was wondering how many tables are possibly not using one of the deprecated sport templates, but a manual header which acts the same, so I've used hastemplate:"Tooltip" insource:/Goals against/ and it found 5,090 results. Probably not all are relevant, but it sure seems there are much more here. It's really a shame a bot can't use your code to help you out here. --Gonnym (talk) 14:51, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Module request

Hi again. Is there a module for the footballers' club statistics table like here? Can you help to built it?--Teacher0691 (talk) 21:39, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Teacher0691, I don't think there is. are those tables only used on the Turkish language WP? or, do you have an example of them in use on this WP? Frietjes (talk) 12:07, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
Sure here are examples: 1, 2, 3, 4.--Teacher0691 (talk) 20:38, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Module:Chessboard

hi Frietjes.

i noticed your edit summary on your latest edit to this module ("should use templatestyles").

i happen to be the originator of this module, though i haven't done much with it for the last several years, and i doubt it resemble my original version.

however, i did do quite a lot of other stuff related to showing chess on[REDACTED] (both lua and JS), and i wanted to suggest that there should be a better and simpler way to do what this module does - a lot of it has to do, as your summary indicates, with the introduction of templatestyles.

the "idea", or the "right way" to do it is demonstrated in mw:Module:ChessBowserPrototype (credit for showing me the light to User:Fred Gandt). this is a prototype for a (hopefully) up and coming extension meant to show full chess games interactively. you can see the demo-of-the-prototype-of-the-extension in mw:User:קיפודנחש/test.

this prototype contains, as a subset, everything module chessboard "done the right way" needs, and will show the chessboard even when JS is disabled, or the required JS module is not loaded (naturally, not the "interactive game" part). the extension will use php, but the prototype is mainly lua+css.

the templatestyle CSS is mw:Template:ChessBrowserProto/styles.css).

if you are interested, i'll be happy to discuss the details. the bottom line is that doing it this way leads to a significantly simpler module, and generates shorted, sweeter, cheaper and nicer html (e.g., no "img" elements so no ] and ]. as a free bonus, "reverse" (showing board from black POV) boils down to adding a single class to the wrapper div.

bottom line: following up on your comment will be significant improvement to the module, and to the html it squirts out. i will be very happy to discuss the details, help, or, if asked, even do some or most of the work. let me know if you's like to continue this discussion.

peace - קיפודנחש (aka kipod) (talk) 00:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello kipod; although I am pleased to have helped a little in guiding your continued development of an interactive chess display done the right way, I really wish you'd have been more open to discussing the right way while my enthusiasm for the code was alive. I won't dwell on the "coulda, shoulda, woulda" of the past, but you've mentioned and directly messaged me about this several times since, and I feel it's about time I responded. Unfortunately I don't have anything useful to contribute beyond the scraps of code I wrote before, which are still available and free to use, abuse or ignore. My efforts to discuss how the implementation should be developed were dashed and the idea of getting involved again makes me feel bad. I hope something good eventually surfaces on Misplaced Pages, and wish you the best, but please stop pinging me about it (unless it's something specifically about the code I wrote and my input is needed). Thanks. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 07:25, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi Fred, thanks for linking me to those scraps of code. I didn't know there was a library to make gifs on the fly, but that's a really interesting option to consider for readers without javascript! Sorry that you've moved on, but your legacy is appreciated. Let me know if your feelings ever change. — Wug·a·po·des​ 23:33, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
