Just wanted to say a massive thanks for your work on the Election results template. Not only is it a big help for getting some consistency in presentation, but the automatic totalling and percentage calculation has helped identify several errors in the tables (both from editors mistranscribing numbers from sources, and mistakes in the sources themselves) by comparing the automatically-calculated totals/percentages with those given in the original tables/sources. This will be a big help in maintaining accuracy! Number 5 7 22:32, 8 September 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)

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: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 wikipedia (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!

Damallsvenskan seasons article changes

What was going on and what did you do on 2015 Damallsvenskan? I do not recall that the older revisions were such a mess with the league table and broken (?) templates.

And why did you remove the {{Football in Sweden}} template on all articles?

Would be nice if you left a little edit summary ;) Thank you for your hard work. --Mango från yttre rymden (talk) 13:29, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

User:Mango från yttre rymden the Template:2015 Damallsvenskan table was replaced with Module:Sports table per this discussion (and prior discussions) and the Template:Fb r templates were replaced by Module:Sports results per this discussion. the {{Football in Sweden}} template is supposed follow WP:BIDIRECTIONAL, which means that all the pages that transclude the navbox should have a link in the navbox, and all pages linked in the navbox should transclude the navbox. there was also some discussion about this at WT:FOOTY at one point in time. you can check this bidirectionality using this search which currently shows quite a few articles which could be linked in the navbox, or which should not be transcluding the navbox. Frietjes (talk) 16:21, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply! I see. I'm not very initiated in the inner workings and developments of Misplaced Pages's technicalities, but from what I can gather, in layman's terms, an old sports table system was replaced with a new one. And when the old templates were deleted, the table vanished from the article and left lots of dead code in it.

You, on the other hand, seem very initiated in the matter, and as you also touched on 2020 Damallsvenskan I will take the opportunity to explain myself. I tried to combine all elements of a WDL table into one, using sports rbr table (I don't know how to link to it or even find it anymore), but it clearly isn't designed for that, so I had to haxx it together. I thought we could try that and see what people think, and if people are positive, some(one) could write some proper code for it. I forgot to mention it in the edit summary.

Why did you change the "style" parameter on the standings table from football to WDL? Is that what it's called now? It's a standings table, not a WDL table, very unintuitive and confusing.

I have a large draft on another computer with lots of pre-season info going into the overview section. New dates have recently been set. It will start at the end of June, so I will try to get it up by then. --Mango från yttre rymden (talk) 23:50, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Mango från yttre rymden, the style template is Module:Sports table/WDL where WDL = "win draw loss" since not all football seasons have draws. there is also Module:Sports table/WL for football seasons without draws. if there is a problem with Module:Sports rbr table, let me know and I can work on it, but so far it seems to be working for 99.9% of all football articles which have round-by-round results tables. Frietjes (talk) 22:32, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

I see now about the style parameter.

I was using this example https://en.wikipedia.org/Module:Sports_rbr_table#Example_3:_Team_combined_table but with all teams in the division in one single table, not just one team with the team name put in the table title like the example shows. The module clearly isn't really made for what I was doing in 2020 Damallsvenskan. It works, but I kinda had to duct tape it together with lots of label rows with a new number for each row, making it difficult to keep track of what value is for what team. Would be much easier if all values regarding one team had the same number. Like "Ground1" and "Position1" perhaps. Do you see what I'm going for? Could it be modified into what I would like to have it, or something like it? If you are a coder I'm sure you can come up with a good solution, but I'm not sure I have made myself apprehensible. The whole concept is quite ambitious from a user and article standpoint, but I thought it could be tried at least. Or do you think it's just stupid perhaps? --Mango från yttre rymden (talk) 14:28, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

we were working on something related here, where one could put the position/ground/result in one table and then select which to show. here, it sounds like you want to have all three show at the same time for all teams? I had stopped working on it because I thought no one was seriously interested. but, I could work on it some more if you are interested. Frietjes (talk) 14:34, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

"here, it sounds like you want to have all three show at the same time for all teams?" Exactly. It's just an idea on my end, I don't know if there's any interest. I was thinking that I would do it on 2020 Damallsvenskan either way, as a proof on concept, and get peoples opinion, and if people liked it, it could be pitched to someone working on that stuff (like you? :) ) to implement functions for it in the module properly. I could start with your opinion. Since you've already thought about it and perhaps worked a little bit on it, then I guess I'm not the only one thinking along those lines ;) The thing you discussed in "Consistent data" looks really cool, but that is more about logistics, having one template on multiple articles and thus lessen editing burden, as I understood it. --Mango från yttre rymden (talk) 20:20, 26 June 2020 (UTC) I also edited my previous message to make it more clear.

Edge case missed by findargdups

I found an edge case where a page contains duplicate arguments but findargdups can't find them. I created a minimal test case at . It's admittedly rather pathological, since it depends on two separate mistakes, but I did first see it in the wild. Jackmcbarn (talk) 21:11, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Jackmcbarn, thanks, the script doesn't fully understand how WP parses ref tags with unclosed braces and unclosed brackets. if I had some javascript that could convert a page into a nested parsing tree it would be much easier to isolate the offending parameters. I will see if I can do something here, but I am not sure if there is a simple solution. Frietjes (talk) 15:49, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

I wonder if feeding the page to Parsoid like WP:EPH does would help. It basically gives you the nested parsing tree, where the tree is a DOM tree. Jackmcbarn (talk) 21:40, 18 August 2020 (UTC

I need your help!

Hi Frietjes, I hope all is well! Can you help and see if you can figure out what’s going on with this edit, please? It keeps screwing up the module but it looks like it’s formatted correct... unless it’s the picture being used a source? Corky 22:09, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan: It looks like the sandbox is in Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded which appears to be from the "test table" in the documentation trying to show all the citations. If the citations were wrapped in "nowiki" in the test table (like this), the problem would probably go away. Note that this is probably just a problem with the documentation not rendering, since no article would try to show all the pages. Another option would be to not format so many of the citations using citation templates (or have the test table preprocess those) (talk page stalker). Plastikspork _―Œ 16:17, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Update, I added some citation preprocessing for the most common {{cite web}} and {{cite manual}} entries and the problem seems to be fixed. Note that what I added requires an ordering of the parameters, but it doesn't need to catch them all, just enough so that the include size is reduced below the limit. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ 16:52, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Awesome, thank you Plastikspork! Corky 00:23, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Plastikspork, nice work! I am wondering if you could get the same result by just bypassing the template frontend and going directly through the citation modules? if so, this could be a solution for pages with lots of references passed through the |refs= in {{reflist}}.

Template:8TeamBracket-CWS

Hi Frietjes, I'm working on updating the 2019 NCAA Division I Softball Tournament, which uses {{8TeamBracket-CWS}} that you recently edited. It looks like one of the score lines isn't working properly. In the second semifinal, the top team's score is not appearing. Can you check the coding? It looks like something in |RD3-score03a= and |RD3-score03b= isn't translating properly. Billcasey905 (talk) 18:53, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

DartsBracketSets

Hi Frietjes! Can we merge Module:DartsBracketSets with Module:Team bracket? As far as I can tell, it's equivalent with the exception that the former automatically calculates the number of sets won and puts that in the last score column. It looks like the module is already calculating "wins" and "otherwins", so there just needs to be a way to put that in the last column. It looks like Module:RoundN has |score-boxes= with "number + sum" to sum the total, but this is not a sum of the scores, but a sum of the sets won. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ 18:00, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Module:Sports table/WDL

Can this module be adjusted so that |ranking_style=%pts has the option to show as a % rather than a decimal? (see User:Nthep/sandbox6 for an example of what I mean, ideally the PCT column would read 100% etc not 1.00) I follow enough NFL etc to realise 1.000 is a US style of expressing percentages but it looks weird to us Brits. Rugby League in the UK is using percentage points rather than just points this season as a risk mitigation against losing matches due to COVID-19 and the source shows percentages. I don't want to use |ranking_style=wperc as this doesn't show the points (and afaik it doesn't include draws in the calculation anyway). Nthep (talk) 13:55, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Nthep, sure, but we need to decide on the syntax. do you want |ranking_style=%100pts or some other value, or do you want |pct_style=100 or some other value. I realize that without the 100* it probably should be called "ratio" instead of "percentage" changing all the articles would be super painful. Frietjes (talk) 14:25, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

I think |pct_style=100 (perhaps this may confuse and there is an assumption that the figure can be something other than 100?) or |pct_style=notratio. I wouldn't ask for ratio to be changed to percentage in articles as I see the US usage and how US readers don't have my Brit problem with seeing a ratio titled as a percentage.

I thinks it's about line 299 that needs something to the effect if pct_style=notratio then win_perc = mm._precision_format(100*((2*wins + draws) / (2*matches), 3)) else ... Nthep (talk) 16:03, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Nthep, now added but may need some tweaking. Frietjes (talk) 18:16, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Seems to work. I tried User:Nthep/sandbox6 by adding |pct_style=notratio and I get the result I want but I get an error message in preview of "Warning: unknown parameters = pct_style". I've also changed the module to show the non-ratio output to 2 decimal places. Nthep (talk) 18:33, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Nthep, yes, I added it to the list of known args. Frietjes (talk) 19:35, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Great. Thanks for the help. I did have another query at Module talk:Sports table#Footnote style but there's no urgency to it. Nthep (talk) 21:46, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Medals table using flag template with secondary parameter

Hello Frietjes! I recently noticed a problem using custom flag templates with Template:Medals table/Module:Medals table, and was wondering if there is a solution. A custom flag template can be used with the flag_template parameter. In addition, there is the event parameter, which allows you to send a secondary parameter to the flag template, which is passed after the country code. However, some flag templates have a parameter come before the country code, for example the age group in {{fbu}} or {{fbwu}}. Could there be a way to have the parameter optionally come before the country code? Otherwise sperate templates, such as {{fbu2}} and {{fbwu2}}, are needed to "reverse" the parameter order for the medal table. Any help would be appreciated, S.A. Julio (talk) 18:30, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

S.A. Julio, can you provide a link to an article where this is needed? it would be useful for testing, and we may be able to simply have the module reverse it for you. Frietjes (talk) 13:45, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Election results module

Hello Frietjes. I've just added the option of having swing in two-round parliamentary results to the template (so as to create this table). While I've managed to sort out almost everything, one thing I cannot seem to figure out is why the total row character for the second round swing appears in all the other tables despite the parameter not being called (e.g. it appears here). This is the code I used to add the character to the total row (which is identical to the first round swing parameter, which does not appear when not called...). Any help/advice appreciated! Cheers, Number 5 7 15:19, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Number 57, is this better? by the way, the line directly above it, '–' or nil is the same as just '–' because '–' is never false (only nil and false are false). Frietjes (talk) 15:52, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Excellent, thank you! Is there an easy explanation as to why "args" only displayed the – when the swing parameter was called, but the second one displayed it at all times before your edit? Cheers, Number 5 7 15:59, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Number 57, I believe it's the logic starting at line 64 that marks headings = true only if there are entries in that column. if you search the rest of the module for headings you will see the various stuff that's suppressed if that's false. similar headings logic isn't used for the second round so my guess is that it's broken if you omit one of the second round sw. Frietjes (talk) 16:18, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

this might fix it. it would be nice to merge all of these column toggles into the headings table, but would take some testing to do so. Frietjes (talk) 16:29, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Ken Boswell (rower)

Kia ora Thank you for your message. After doing some research, I believe the original information on KJB was wrong.

There were 2 Kenneth James Boswells living in NZ around the same time. The original article had KB's DoB and DoD as 1912-1984, whereas my research has the rower as 1910-1971. I base this on the Electoral Roll evidence (found on Ancestry.com): KJB 1912-84 Appears in the Electoral Rolls of 1954, 57, 63, 69, 72, 78 and 81 as single and living in North Shore, Auckland. KJB 1910-71 Appears in the ERs of 1935, 38, 46 and 49 as single and living with his parents David and Mary in Petone or Hutt (Wellington). In the WW2 Ballot List of 1941, he is at the same address as listed in the 35 and 38 ERs. In the ERs of 1957, 63 and 69 he is married to Doris and living in Heretaunga, Miramar and Karori (all in Wellington). There is a Death record for him on NZ's BDM in 1971 and, while I cannot find a grave record, he does not appear in later ERs. (Doris is living by herself in 1972, 78 and 81 ERs.)

I don't know how to add a citation to support this on the page (especially if you don't use Ancestry as a source) but I would appreciate the help if you can change it. Thank you

NBA play-in tournament

Hi. Several editors who participated in this AfD are saying that the play-in tournament should be treated as part of neither the regular season nor the playoffs. However, this template still cannot be used for that purpose. Since those games need to be treated separately, is it possible to create a parameter that will allow that to happen? LSGH (talk) (contributions) 01:23, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

LSGH, as far as I can tell after this edit the template supports |play-in=y, so I am not sure what else is needed. Frietjes (talk) 15:09, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Game log section start

Hi, in this sequence of edits you effectively removed the border with the extra border:none. But, I think you were just trying to override the border added by the style, so I moved the other border after the style statement. Hopefully this was what you were trying to accomplish. I think it makes sections like this one look much better. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ 00:23, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Roster section in 2018 Boston Red Sox season

Hi – I see you made several formatting changes to 2018 Boston Red Sox season.

I wanted to let you know, in case you are making similar edits to other articles. Dmoore5556 (talk) 03:23, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Template:Football box collapsible

Hi Frietjes. Can you please give your opinion regarding an editor's desire to alter a series of articles that use a football box collapsible altogether with simple tables? We have reached a dead end and were involved in an almost endless debate, but he isn't yet convinced. We've recently opened a request for comment and an administrator has concluded that there is no consensus to move the article's format from a template to a table and yet he ignored all of that. Looks like he intends to alter more articles in the future as we can see on his userpage. This drama only started a few months ago and before that no one complained too much about using these templates. The table format in sport pages is now seen as outdated and was useful at a time when few editors were familiar with maintaining templates and modules. Thanks in advance.--Sakiv (talk) 04:35, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Sandbox Sports Templates

Hello, are all the sports templates linked on your sandbox a list of all unused templates? --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 18:34, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

WikiCleanerMan, not sure which part of my sandbox you are asking about. at one point in time, the list at the very end was sorted by the number of transclusions, but it's almost certainly way out of date at this point. Frietjes (talk) 21:04, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Infobox formatting question

Hi, I was looking at John Stark on an iPad. This article has both burial_place & burial_place_coordinates. The infobox looks fine on a desktop, but with the screen size/resolution/browser/whatever on the iPad, it rendered as:

Place of burial Stark Cemetery, Manchester (
43°00′51″N 71°28′15″W / 43.01420°N 71.47095°W / 43.01420; -71.47095)

This shouldn't wrap after the open paren. Should the template have a nowrap to prevent this? In this case, it is {{infobox military person}} but this may happen in others. MB 03:37, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)

Fixed by removing the parens to match {{Infobox person}}. See Leopold Mozart for an example of burial coords in infobox person. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:10, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Possible script error made a table disappear

Module:Sports table/WDL again

Covid has so much to answer for. I'm now dealing with a league table decided on win percentage defined as (competition points)/(50 * matches played) where competition points = 2 * wins + 1 * draws. But now I have a team deducted 2 competition points for failing to fulfil a fixture. So I've edited Module:Sports table/WDL/sandbox to win_perc = (pct_style == 'ratio') and mm._precision_format((2*wins + draws) / (2*matches), 3) or mm._precision_format(100*(2*wins + draws + s_pts) / (2*matches), 2) by adding the + s_pts bit. Before I make the change in the live module, can you check if this causes any issues downstream? As s_pts seems to be explicitly defined as 0 or actual value, I don't think it makes any difference but I'd like an expert opinion. Nthep (talk) 15:13, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Nthep, a few things: (1) not sure why the s_pts is added in line 301 but not 300, but (2) if you really want to be safe, you should first add some tracking to find articles where (s_pts != 0) and (rank_perc or rank_wperc) since that should show all the pages that would be modified by your change, but it would take several days for the tracking to populate, or (3) you could add an option that would trigger the inclusion of s_pts in that calculation, or (4) you could just go ahead and add the s_pts on _both_ lines 300 and 301 and assume that any changes to percentages would either be corrected or inconsequential and wait for complaints. or, do both (2) and (4). Frietjes (talk) 15:32, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

I didn't do (1) as I knew I wasn't interested in that option but I suppose for consistency it ought to be there. I'll go for (2) and (4) and worry about (3) if (4) proves to be too bold. Nthep (talk) 15:56, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Section names in modules

Hi Frietjes. Is it possible to build section labels into a module? Election results tables (from {{Election results}}) are sometimes transcluded from one article to another, but this has to be done by manually adding <section begin=sectionname/> or onlyinclude tags around the table, which potentially could be messed by up by other editors later (particularly with Visual Editor, which moves onlyinclude tags, leading to whitespace around the transclusion). If the section name could be a parameter in the module, it may be less prone to being messed up. If it can't be done in the module, is there a way of doing it in the template that invokes the module?

Perhaps there could be a default name built into it (like 'resultstable') and the option of creating a specific name (for articles where there are numerous tables that potentially could be transcluded elsewhere, such as a general election article with presidential and parliamentary results). This has come up because of this discussion. Cheers, Number 5 7 10:18, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Number 57, as far as I know, the answer is no (see this explanation) but you should feel free to ask elsewhere. I think it would be great to have a tracking category for "failed section transclusion", similar to how we have Category:Pages with script errors and other errors. this would detect when the #section: or #section-h failed to find a target. if you added "unbalanced onlyinclude tags", you would probably catch 95% of the problems. maybe a discussion at VPT would bring this to the attention of others. Frietjes (talk) 14:12, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Number 57, there may be a solution using Template:Excerpt or a variation of that, but unfortunately, that template/module uses a lot of heavy string processing, so could be slow for large articles/blocks of text (see some discussion at Module talk:Transcluder). Frietjes (talk) 15:05, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, another question: How you you add a tracking category where a certain parameter in a module is invoked? I would like to work out which pages are calling args from the election results template. I had a look at a few modules with tracking categories inserted, but couldn't work it out... Cheers, Number 5 7 19:45, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Number 57, I added something. we already had the framework setup for tracking categories to be appended at the end of the table. I just put it near the place where acolor is being processed, but if you want something more unified, we could create an arg-preprocessor to do more than what I put in there. Frietjes (talk) 20:27, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Number 57, a search like this one may be faster, since it doesn't require the category to fill up. Frietjes (talk) 20:35, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Great, thanks – I was wondering if it was possible to do a search – this is probably easier that the tracking category. Cheers, Number 5 7 20:37, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

You're the one stealing all the juicy edits from IznoRepeat for martial artists using NavFrame. Do you want to take care of those yourself? There seem to be quite a few. Izno (talk) 03:01, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Izno, yes, my plan was to fix all the martial arts record tables and sports game logs by switching them over to the standard templated versions. I don't have any plan for the other NavFrame uses, but would be happy to see those replaced as well. Frietjes (talk) 16:12, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

(I guess you could just follow IznoRepeat when I get to that point; still working on the non-fighter uses.) Izno (talk) 16:19, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I've systematically evaluated its uses, which was tracked at MediaWiki talk:Common.css/to do#NavFrame.

Links and syntax a bit broken in an election table edit

I'm not sure what happened here, but if it was a regex or a script, it may need to be adjusted. See my subsequent edit that fixed the links and italics. No big deal, but 20 more just like it would be unfortunate. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:07, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

not sure what happened there either, but if there are more, they are probably all Hamilton Ontario municipal election articles. Frietjes (talk) 17:12, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I looked through Category:Municipal elections in Hamilton, Ontario. 1994 Hamilton, Ontario municipal election had similar breakage, done by Plastikspork. I fixed it. It looks like there have been a ton of these substitutions that have gone well, so I can't explain why these two broke. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:26, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

They were already broken here. The title text which should be at the |2= or |title= parameters was used for |1=. Since the |2= value was now "Ward 12 Councillor" Frietjes' script worked correctly. Gonnym (talk) 21:31, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

The 1994 Hamilton, Ontario municipal election was definitely broken by me :( Pages using |1= with a non-existing template should show up in Category:Pages using election table with incorrect edit links? Thanks for fixing my error! Plastikspork _―Œ 14:13, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Display date of last edit

Hi Frietjes. Hopefully, this is an easy one for you.

What template should be used to automatically insert the date of the last EDIT to another template? According to the documentation at {{CFB Standings End}}, the date= should be set to ~~~~~, however this appears to subt the text for the current date (and time). It looks like most of this year's conference templates are setting date to {{date|{{date}}|mdy|}}, however that appears to be a rolling display of whatever today's date is, despite what the {{date}} documentation says: ...it records the date and time that the page was most recently edited or purged. It doesn't seem very helpful to say the standings are "As of August 25..." when the template was last edited August 16, and could possibly be out of date. (I realize that these particular templates are patrolled very closely and will likely never be out of date by more than a few hours.)

So, is there a way to automatically insert the edit date of August 16 and retain that date until the template is edited again, without requiring the editor to replace the subt'd date with 5 tildes again? Hoof Hearted (talk) 15:51, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Hoof Hearted, technically, I believe there are several choices, (1) have editors insert ~~~~~ which as you stated is not reliable, (2) not display an "updated date" since it's not reliable, (3) show the value of {{date}} which will be incorrect when the page is purged or other edits are made, (4) have a bot go around and try to figure out the last time the table was changed, which is not necessarily reliable since the edits may not be taken from a particular source and could be just changes to disambiguation, links, etc., (5) use {{#time:H:i, j F Y|{{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}}}} which is not much better than {{date}}, but does at only show the last edit and not when the page was purged. so, unfortunately, this is not an easy problem to solve, but could possibly be slightly improved.

Infobox legislative election

Hello. Regarding the thing you did at {{Election results}}, where it checks the party name (linked or not) to look for a meta color template, do you think you could do the same thing on the infobox? There are lots of cases where we have meta color templates but not shortname templates, but currently you need both to get it to work, otherwise you need to manually enter the colour. Cheers, Number 5 7 16:03, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Number 57, it looks like Template:Infobox legislative election/row already checks to see if the /meta/color exists before trying to use it, but we could change {{#ifexist:Template:{{{party}}}/meta/color|border-left: 4px solid {{{{{party}}}/meta/color}};}}}} to

{{#ifexist:Template:{{delink|wikilinks=target|1={{{party}}}}}/meta/color|border-left: 4px solid {{{{delink|wikilinks=target|1={{{party}}}}}/meta/color}};}}}}

which would allow for wikilinked text to be passed through the party parameter. similar for Template:Infobox election/shortname which does the shortname. Frietjes (talk) 16:12, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Yes, sorry, I meant that it does check the meta color template exists, but only if the party name is entered plainly; if it's entered as a link the color doesn't work. If the above will fix this, please do add it – thanks! Number 5 7 17:00, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Number 57, this works now and it should not have broken any other uses since the delinking does nothing if there are no links. Frietjes (talk) 17:56, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Election results module

Hello Frietjes. Is there a way of allowing embedding in this module, so multiple results tables can be stacked together, for example producing something like this? It would be useful for elections where votes for separate areas or minority seats are recorded separately to the main bloc of voting (they have their own percentages/turnouts). I have already added a header row into the sandbox code (|header1=) for use with this. Cheers, Number 5 7 13:13, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

User:Number 57, yes, we can do something, but we need to make some assumptions about the outer container to avoid mismatched html table tags. we need to know if it will be embedded inside a <th>...</th> or <td>...</td> or <table>...</table> if we want the columns to line up. also, are we assuming that all the stacked sections have the same table headings, or are we regenerating the headings for each section? Frietjes (talk) 14:51, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

If possible, I wouldn't want the column headings to repeat – just to start every embedded use with (|header1=) describing that set of results. Would there be a way of getting the table headings to appear in the first use but not in any subsequent embedded tables (like the Denmark example)? Hope that makes sense? Cheers, Number 5 7 16:02, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

User:Number 57, I think the way to do it is have the first table be the parent (which creates the individual column headers) and any subsequent tables be children (which don't create individual column headers). I will put together a demonstration in a few minutes. Frietjes (talk) 16:05, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

User:Number 57, okay, this works now

if you think it looks fine, go ahead and move it over to the main module. you use |embedded= in the top parent table, and |embed=y in the child tables with the child tables passed through the |embedded=. all the tables should have the same number of columns or it won't work. if we need to support tables with different numbers of columns, we can do it, but the columns won't be aligned and we would need each child to generate its own individual column headings to avoid confusion.

That's great – looks like it works to me. I don't think we'd want to combine tables with different numbers of columns, so hopefully this should be fine. Thanks so much again for your help! Number 5 7 16:25, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Number 57 FYI, it looks like you disabled the partytitle parameter when there is alliance with this edit? Frietjes (talk) 21:14, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Good spot, thanks! Number 5 7 21:56, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Template:Edinburgh artist

Hello, Frietjes,

When you tag a page for deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/TFD/MFD/etc.), please post a notice on the talk page of the page creator so they know what happened to the page they created, especially if the page was created in error so the editor is aware of their mistake. This is particularly important in the case of a new editor who might not be familiar with all of the Misplaced Pages rules and policies. Twinkle will do this for you once you set up your Preferences to "Notify page creator" so it's a great tool to use.

Thank you for all of the great work that you do! Liz 19:02, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Help

Hey, on Template:Handballbox i wanted to add a simple link would be shown as "" like basketball or football does. Now, when i look at the 1987 Asian Women's Handball Championship i see the "{{{report}}}" shwoing up, as there is no parameter added. Can this be fixed or should my try be reverted? Thanks in advance. Kante4 (talk) 15:15, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Weird intent result

In the current version of Las Vegas (TV series) (the one I last edited), Indent did something really strange. You can check the edit history for the undo. I use it frequently and have never seen anything like this. The problem is not in the infobox, but farther down when it encountered some non-alpha characters. MB 02:26, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

User:MB, should be fixed now. the code starts by disassembling the article into individual templates, indents, then reassembles the article. the reassembly uses search and replace for markers. it turns out that if your replacement string includes a $' or other special replacement patterns everything goes haywire. I modified the code to first mark any dollar signs and then unmark them when it's finished, so it shouldn't happen again. Frietjes (talk) 14:57, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Football box question, possibly for you

I have a question about parsing a parameter value in Lua that you might be able to answer. Even a link to another template that is already solving a similar problem would be helpful. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:38, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
