| I think, actually, what I'll do is just make it a separate template that I'll use instead of merging it back to the main template. As you said there's something hairy about clipping in it, and if that can't be fixed I don't want to break all the templates out there. It works for the specific use I had in mind, so it's all good. So you don't really need to do much else to it, because I don't anticipate anyone using it. Thanks again. ''÷]'' 08:23, 7 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
| : The clipping issue is in the original, too; it's a limitation of the design and may be intentional. The fellow who wrote it is years-gone, so we have to muddle along. See what Chris says; I'm thinking it should go back into the current template. I've also not looked at any of the usages ;) Cheers, ] 08:26, 7 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :: Actually, the clipping is just caused by the template simply using width1 if it's specified. I've updated the sandbox to do a proper comparison, which seems to work fine. If you now want to increase the number of possible images then it should work. | |||
| :: You might want to also note that if you're going to add new images then you need to update the width code as well as adding new conditionals. The vertical one is relatively easy (I wrote it in five minutes) but the horizontal one is ghastly. ] - ] 08:48, 7 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::: Thanks. I didn't see that sandbox; I made my own at ]. I'll noodle through what you've done tomorrow and probably merge-in what I was doing. I see that it's taking width1 and was hoping for an easy way around it. Cheers, ] 08:52, 7 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::: It's done; I've expanded the template to cope with seven images, and think I can expand it to cope with more without too much effort (so long as I can keep a grasp of the conditionals in my head).

| Come on, how does pasting in that "template" at ] help anything? And why does it really matter to you whether the table is blue or green or grey or sortable or not?

| : I'm fine, really. I'm not in this for "drama". I've been trying to address a huge coding mess in however many thousands of article for more than three months now. Problem is, ''they'' revert just about everything. In February or so, I was reverted on a bunch of articles with reference to WP:ACTOR's "authority" and some characterization of it as a 'governing' body. This is a ridiculous assertion of ownership. I've done a huge amount of clean up on hundreds of actor articles, all of it appropriate and clueful. I'm quite good at markup and styling. As I've explained many times, this is not about "blue vs grey", it's about poor coding practices and a few who claim a false consensus re their articles. The template is humour and was pointed out to me by someone last month; it's in my archive 5. Cheers, ] 18:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::Alright good, then we can all take care to keep this drama-free. Markup and styling matter, sure, but take it slow and keep the humour to a minimum. Humour often doesn't translate well on the web and Wikipedians can be a humourless bunch when stuck in the middle of an edit war. Misplaced humour can just come across as snarkiness. If a group of editors are trying to assert a "local consensus" against style guidelines and consensus established elsewhere then the overall consensus will usually win through, especially if wider involvement is encouraged via WikiProjects or an RfC (rather than it appearing on people's radar via AN/I!). And if the wider consensus doesn't prevail (as it didn't when there was an attempt to add infoboxes to biogs of classical musicians), what's the worst that happens? A few slightly non-standard filmography tables stay around, which I'm sure you can live with. ]<span style="background-color:white; color:grey;">&</span>] 19:10, 8 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::: You do see that this is all over ANI and VPP the last few days? And that there was a huge RFC, already? And the whole mess last year, that I wasn't involved in, that damned this colour approach? There's talk on VPP and Moonriddengirl's talk about an RfC on colour usage at a site-wide level, and I'm willing to pursue that, too. The other party, however, is ignoring that and is in all-out wiki-war mode. The other option I'm considering, besides an RFC/U, is asking Ryan if this would be something MedCom would take on. Cheers, ] 19:34, 8 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::::You know, I don't think an RfC/U or mediation would help in the slightest. If you honestly think that would help resolve this dispute then you're naive: that would be escalation. At heart it's a simple dispute and the best way to resolve it is by involving more editors, not by you continuing to make this personal. Whatever the process and outcome of the new RfC, please avoid provoking Wildhartlivie. Just disengage from them. Try to avoid commenting on them, don't revert them, don't post speculations about sockpuppetry (and bringing up a history of sockpuppetry is more than a little ironic, no?). At the moment I'm less concerned about what colours, markup and sorting wikitables have and more concerned about you two taking chunks out of each other. ]<span style="background-color:white; color:grey;">&</span>] 12:55, 9 June 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::::: This should be a simple dispute and I certainly want more editors involved. It's not proving simple, though, and I've been ] by the AC ''to follow Misplaced Pages policy and guidelines, and follow dispute resolution processes to resolve editing conflicts'' (& DR includes RfC/U and mediation). I intend to abide by that. Ya, there's an element of escalation, but it could help, too. And I'm not being naive or disingenuous here. Other routes can and should be pursued, such as a broad-focused RfC about colour and the skittlepedia effect. I have a lot of good ideas in these area that are wasted on the wrong audience. | |||

See ], which says ''you can keep track of and react to what's happening to pages you have created or are otherwise interested in''. My joining WP:ACTOR amounts to a statement of interest in these articles. They're a mess and need work. I don't see this as personal; I clean-up code all over these projects, and I intend to fix this area, too. She wants her articles left to her and co., and that's a major ownership problem that many have issue with. | |||

Proposed deletion of Mobile payments in Indonesia
The article Mobile payments in Indonesia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This isn't even about mobile payments in Indonesia, it's about a particular vendor of credit for mobile phones and the services they offer. Said vendor fails corporate notability guidelines due to insufficient depth of coverage in independent, reliable sources. Its products fail the product notability guidelines and the general notability guideline on the same basis.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
