Big gap at bottom

Hi there is now a big gap at the bottom of documentation. 2.124.129.220 (talk) 10:37, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

I don't see a big gap. What page is it on? Jackmcbarn (talk) 13:58, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

My guess: extra whitespace is being introduced by the category code at the bottom of whichever /doc page is being displayed. — Mr. Stradivarius 15:36, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

it is at the bottom. It is between the end box and categories. 2.124.129.220 (talk) 23:22, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

I see a relatively large gap before the categories in Template:Periodic table, but not in Template:History of Japan. note that switching to the old version of the template removes the gap. checking the HTML source, it looks like tidy (or something) is adding an extra <p><br></p> at the end, which is usually a sign of spurious newlines. Frietjes (talk) 23:41, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Ah, yes, you're right. A little playing with Special:ExpandTemplates shows that Module:Documentation is adding an extra newline right at the end of the output. It doesn't appear to be a problem with Module:Message box, but in Module:Documentation itself. — Mr. Stradivarius 00:43, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

And now fixed. It was an extra .newline() before the tracking category function. — Mr. Stradivarius 00:49, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Logo for module

Hi could we add a logo for module so it is not using the one for if it was on a template or something else please. 86.135.251.100 (talk) 16:18, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Why? You still use curly braces when calling modules from wikitext, and the logo signifies "documentation" more than "template" anyway. Jackmcbarn (talk) 16:30, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Mobile view

Hi when visiting a page with template documentation for example Template:infobox it does not show it correctly meaning the background is not shown and the edit button is to close to the name of the template. On the iPad it does not look so good. 86.135.249.133 (talk) 19:48, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Found a way of adding background colour

Hi I had found a way of adding background colour by using this code

	local root = htmlBuilder.create()
	root
		.wikitext(p.protectionTemplate(env))
		.wikitext(p.sandboxNotice(args, env))
		 -- This div tag is from {{documentation/start box}}, but moving it here
		 -- so that we don't have to worry about unclosed tags.
		.tag('div')
			.attr('id', message('main-div-id'))
			.addClass(message('main-div-classes'))
                        .css('background-color', '#ecfcf4')
                        .css('border', '1px solid #aaa')
                        .css('padding', '12px')
			.newline()
			.wikitext(p._startBox(args, env))
			.wikitext(p._content(args, env))
			.tag('div')
				.css('clear', 'both') -- So right or left floating items don't stick out of the doc box.
				.newline()
				.done()
			.done()
		.wikitext(p._endBox(args, env))
		.newline()
		.wikitext(p.addTrackingCategories(env))
	return tostring(root)
end

So wikis that doint have the colour set in mediawiki.common.css. Can set background colour now. 86.135.249.133 (talk) 18:46, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

We build our templates for Misplaced Pages. We're not going to add extra complexity to them so they work on non-WMF wikis. Jackmcbarn (talk) 18:50, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Debate by edit summary

Would Technical 13 please explain the purpose of the proposed edits, and allow time for others to respond. WP:TPE was not intended for playing ping-pong. Johnuniq (talk) 04:09, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
