== Help with Template:Summer Olympics by year category navigation ==

Can you fix ]? Because it does not display correctly on recent Olympic basketball categories. For example, ] (1936–2004) and ] (2008–2024) have some kind of cutoff. I thought of asking this template's creator for help, but she is blocked indefinitely. Therefore, you are quite familiar with templates so help would be appreciated. – ] 13:32, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I'm the person who created the Katharine Hepburn template, and I see that you have split it in two. I'm just inquiring exactly why this is, I'm a bit confused...one person on the ] suggested splitting it, but the final result was just "keep". I don't see any signs that the admin said it needed to be split. I don't really see how it is better this way, why not have all the articles related to her on one template? Thanks. --] (]) 22:36, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
: there were two objections to the inclusion of a filmography if you include the nominator. in addition, we have ], which discourages it. ] (]) 22:39, 5 January 2012 (UTC) : ], it looks like the problem is that the name pattern changed between 2004 and 2008. the easiest solution is to move ] and earlier to ] which would still be an accurate category name. harder would be to have the template automatically check for two names. ] (]) 15:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks for explanation. I have another question regarding templates in the mentioned categories. Is there a way to summon some kind of bot that would make a mass deletion request for those templates. I have already nominated a bunch of such templates at ]. However, there are about 156 more such templates that should be deleted. I also thought about ], but I am not sure which criteria would fit it. – ] 16:03, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
:: Then why has the filmography one even been kept? If there's going to be a template that includes her filmography, as there currently is, it may as well include all the other articles too (which aren't that many)...I really don't see the logic in separating them. And to be honest, I could argue back "Well two people said it could stay as it was: me and someone else." So there wasn't a consensus on this. We just have to go with the admin's decision (which was simply "keep").
::Basically I would rather it was all together under one template or not have one at all, it seems silly to have two. --] (]) 22:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC) ::: you can make a ] for tagging a large number of templates for deletion. ] (]) 16:13, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

:::: I think you should've just left it alone, the admin's decision was keep, I believe on the grounds of ]. So why hasn't it been kept? Aren't they meant to have the final say in the matter? And it looks like that Laurel & Hardy one has never been through a delete discussion, so I don't think that's a very useful example. --] (]) 22:59, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

::::::But there wasn't even a filmography template before you just created one. There was a template that ''included'' her filmography, and that already had a discussion where the closing admin decided it could be kept. It says ]: "The closing admin will also perform any necessary actions to carry out the decision." If they wanted the template to be separated, they would have at the very least indicated this. I don't see why you have taken it upon yourself to make a big change that wasn't agreed to.

::::: The only reason I think the second method is better is because it doesn't use any parserfunctions. however, you are correct, that the first method doesn't require any additional templates, and makes it a bit more clear where the content lives. It would be even better if we could have an option added to {{tl|navbox}}, like the 'border=child' option, which would automatically turn off the title/below stuff when say 'group and list only = yes' or something like that. since that will most likely not happen anytime soon, I really don't care which method we use.

== "hlist" class in navboxes ==

. :) I assume this is the done way for bulleted lists everywhere now? Might be worth a more targeted approach to update anything in templatespace calling {{tl|,}} going forward. ] (]) 14:00, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
: yes, if you check the edit history of WOSlinker, Alarbus, Snappy, ... you will see a large scale effort to convert navboxes to use ]. there are many ways you can use it, either with '*' bullet markup, or with ';/:' semi-colon/colon markup (e.g., see ]). the code for the following navbox shows several examples
{{navbox|navbar=plain
| listclass = hlist
| group1 = Bullet list example
| list1 =
* item1
* item2
| group2 = Bullet list example<br />with sublists
| list2 =
* item1
** item1a
** item1b
* item2
** item2a
** item2b
| group3 = Definition list example
| list3 =
; type1
: item1.1
: item1.2
; type2
: item2.1
: item2.2
| group4 = Definition list example<br />with a line break
| list4 =
; type1
: item1.1
: item1.2

; type2
: item2.1
: item2.2
}}
: you can also set 'class = plainlist' to get the effect of an {{tl|unbulleted list}}, which works great for sidebars. the transclusion count of {{tl|nowrap begin}} has dropped by a factor of two over the past couple months due to the conversions. the hlist and plainlist classes both include white-space:nowrap, so there is very little need for {{tl|nowrap begin}}, {{tl|*}}, {{tl|,}}, ... one of the best outcomes is the improved page rendering time, since we are cutting massive numbers of template transclusions. this also helps with the template transclusion limit on many pages with many navboxes. ] (]) 17:05, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

== Removal of images from templates ==

Stop your removal of the Tennessee GA flag from the templates. Your first reasoning was rejected (and you haven't tried defending it), and your second reason that it's only decorative, while true, is not a reason for removal. Whether you like it or not, these templates are commonly decorated with an image highly associated with the subject. Unless you're going to go on a war and remove them from all templates, stop doing it to the ones I add it too. Further removals will be considered vandalism based upon your personal views and not any rules ore guidelines. ''']''' <sup>''']'''</sup> 01:09, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

: Do see ] before you toss that accusation about. I've not looked at what is going on here, but images in navboxes are mere ornaments, and I have see you, Fry1989, going way over the top making images larger. *Too* large. In navboxes (and infoboxes where I previously noted you doing this), images squeeze text into narrower spaces resulting in the box having to get taller. You've often made images the tallest thing in a navbox, which results in the last row getting too much height. ] (]) 02:06, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
: Further; adding wide images to navboxes with three columns is problematic at narrower screen sizes (and god help mobile users). They result in horizontal scrollbars for readers which are decidedly unhelpful. I reverted two that were recent. ] (]) 02:19, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
::I will use the word as I wish. You don't first remove something saying it's too big when you can easily change it's size to fit how you feel is appropriate (which is lazy), and then again saying it's just a decoration, when A: that's the common practice here to add an image directly related to the topic of the template, and B: when there is no rule against it. I consider vandalism as including "the deliberate removal of content for personal tastes or reasonings". ''']''' <sup>''']'''</sup> 02:22, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
::: None of that is covered by ], so you're engaging in personal attacks (as is 'lazy').
::: You don't get to frame it as 'adjust the size', although maybe 'zero' counts. You like flags and ornaments; we get that. We don't think it appropriate, though. You're creating a poor user experience for those on small displays. Cut it out. ] (]) 02:46, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
:::: agreed. none (or close to none) of the other state legislature templates are using flags or seals, and there is a good reason for it. the content is formatted in a fixed number of columns, which is already bad for narrow displays. adding decorative flags and seals only makes it worse. if you want to add them, try discussing it on the talk page first, given that there is clear opposition for it. ] (]) 15:26, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
::::: Fry1989 has a month to ponder his edit warring ways. Meanwhile, progress may be made; you see the latest ]? I feel remiss, as I've only done a smattering in the last month or so. Also, I saw you did at least another of the Lt.Gov splits; any left? I'll do another if needed. ] (]) 03:04, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
:::::: I put all the state governor templates {{oldid|User:Frietjes|477036250|here}} in uncollapsed form to check for consistency. it looks like there is only one left that is using a collapsible subsection. there are others that have both the governors and lieutenant governors in the same template, but they aren't using the collapsible subsections. I have been working on the hlist stuff when I have time. I am working on some scripts too, mostly for hlist conversions and error checking after the hlist conversions.

::::::: I'll take a crack at {{tl|Colonial Governors and Deputy Governors of Rhode Island}} soon. Have you noticed that there are more than a few templates around that use the collapsable form when they only have one section. A few I've looked at were split out of larget templates without being simplified. I saw you talking with WOS and should update my local copy of the script. I indent as I do out of long habit; part of it is that it helps me as I'm reviewing an edit and I think it would help others. I tend to leave a space character after an '=' in a template so that when someone addes a value ite space is just there for them; I omit these spaces when a value should not ever go there, such as "| list1 =" followed by a newline and the a list-item.

User Marcus qwertyus has reverted several pages making them now incorrect. He reverted the Ohio Senate and Ohio House of Representatives from showing the most up-to-date information. He also reverted John Carey and David T. Daniels, who are no longer members. He also deleted Mark Malone, a former legislator and deleted lasting changes to Jason Wilson. Please do what you can to fix this.

Thanks for helping with that. Will you still take a look at Daniels and Carey? Also, why did you remove the room numbers from the Senate, and when an individual resigns from the house, the party of the resignee appoints the successor, so no need to remove the party shade. I am an expert on Ohio state politics, and would love to help with this stuff, but it is very difficult due to three users who constantly revert and delete. Please help with this. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 15:28, 4 April 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
: the room numbers are superfluous per ], and there is no reason to keep the shading for a vacant seat. when it is filled again, it can easily be added back again. I am only making changes on my own behalf, not on the behalf of others. however, feel free to let me know about factual errors and I will fix them if they can be verified. some of the changes were too soon (e.g., someone who doesn't resign until April 10). ] (]) 15:32, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Will you recreate the pages that Marcus Qwertyus has had deleted. Pages such as John Eklund and Charleta Tavares as well as numerous people in the House are no longer represented and really should be. Furthermore, what happened to the Bob Peterson page? You will notice that there was nothing wrong with the previous version before the revert. Myself and numerous others would like to contribute to make these pages better without being blocked by this guy.

== CollegeInsider.com tournament ==
You sent me this message.
hope you don't mind but I merged this tournament box with the main NCAA one, and have since nominated the specialized one for deletion ]. thank you. ] (]) 19:52, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

So exactly what did you nominate for deletion? Are you saying you nominated the infobox for deletion? The CollegeInsider.com Tournament is a completely different tournament than the NCAA Tournament. The NIT has it's own box. The CBI has it's own box. They are all different tournaments. Furthermore they each have a main tournament infobox and a seasonal tournament infobox. None of them should be deleted because they go on a season-by-season basis.
] (]) 22:28, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

: I am saying that they can all be merged into one 'college basketball tournament' template. I know that these are different tournaments, but the only difference between the templates is the title at the top and the links at the bottom. I see no reason why they can't be merged into a single template, which would prevent us from needing to maintain a separate template for every single tournament (I have found at least 6 or 7). ] (]) 22:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
:: There are quite a few differences I believe you fail to recognize. The NCAA Tourney awards the Most Outstanding Player Award. The others award the Most Valuable Player award. Then there's the timelines. The timelines are different for each tournament. If you merge them all with the NCAA Tourney, then you take them all back to the same year the first NCAA Tourney was held. Extending the sections alone doesn't work when it comes to the timelines.
] (]) 22:35, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
::: tell me if you see any any visible difference in the infobox in and . the only difference between the two was . I see no difference. ] (]) 22:38, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
:::: I am talking about the infobox, not the navbox. ] (]) 22:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
::::: I was referring to the infobox as well. And yes, there is one huge difference. The old infobox has them listed as playing in the semifinals, not the Final Four. Only the NCAA Tournament uses the classification of the Final Four for the NCAA postseason tournamen. The NIT, CBI, and CiT don't. If you want to know the truth, I based the infoboxes for the CBI and CiT off of the National Invitation Tournament Infobox, not the NCAA Tournament infobox, and you have failed to nominate the NIT Tourney Infobox for deletion. Why isn't it being merged? Now I don't know how you managed to keep the MVP listed as MVP instead of MOP, but if they are to become one, then the NIT needs to be merged, and the only one that needs to say Final Four for the semifinals is the NCAA Tourney.
:::::: I fixed the FinalFour -> Semifinal . For some reason the CollegeInsider.com box was using FinalFourCount instead of SemiFinalCount. and, the NIT template was nominated ]. ] (]) 23:02, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
::::::: The same thing needs to be done with the CBI and NIT. They have always had Final four Count= listed but had it programmed to say Semifinal on their individual Tournament boxes. They both reverted back to Final Four when you merge them with the NCAA one if you don't make whatever change you did for the CiT. Then all the infoboxes in each tournament have to be changed to say NCAA Tourney, type=, etc. at the top.

== Eurovision templates ==

Please cease altering the Eurovision templates. A consensus has been agreed at ] to have them redesigned in the new format. You are altering tag lines, which are not necessary. ]]] 15:52, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

:Thank you for posting a reply on my talk page, although I'd prefer if you replied it here, as I am watching your talk page for replies, and it keeps a conversation consistent without the need to be switching talk pages to see what the other person has written. A lengthy discussion about the new format for templates has taken place at ] which is the project page for Eurovision-related articles and templates. The newly agreed format along with its parameters and coding has been agreed upon amongst several editors on the project, and it is this new format that is being rolled out across all the templates for the ESC project. Your alterations is going against a consensus that has been agreed, and I have just spent almost 24 hours doing a major rollout exercise. This kind of disruption is halting my work ethics and now slowing me down in having to restore all the hard work I've put in. Please visit the project talk page and discuss your concerns there. Thanks ]]] 16:03, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
:: I read that thread, and there is nothing in the thread that mentions (1) the need for a redlinked "view link" at the top of the template which goes to a non-existing template, (2) the desire for no space between the flag icon and the text in the title (which is in contradiction to all other templates with flag icons in the title), and (3) the desire for the template to add a bunch of whitespace at the bottom of the articles. ] (]) 16:05, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Of all the taglines, the first one
*<nowiki>|name = German Eurovision Representation</nowiki>: is referring to national (for example; German not Germany)
*<nowiki>|title = {{flagicon|Germany}}]</nowiki>: this line confirms the name of the template
*<nowiki>|below=<small>(Note: Entries scored out are when Germany did not compete)</nowiki>: this line needs to be in small text
And as the navigation boxes are multiple collapsing, then the other coding made it more easier for people to understand, as there are some editors on the project who are not overly familiar with how to alter templates. Having it this way provided simplicity to editors who lacked knowledge on how templates work. ]]] 16:10, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

:Please stop being pragmatic towards myself as an editor. I have noticed all your alternations, I do this by viewing "diff" so I can see exactly what an editor has done.

:: Interesting that you call my edits bad faith, when you marked mine as vandalism . per ], we try to avoid using text which is too small. however, if you must, then use 'font-size: smaller'. I will alert editors at ] to review the template changes. when you add a newline between the end of the template and the start of the {{tag|noinclude}} section, it will create a space at the bottom of the article, if there is an additional newline after the template. this is because two newlines is parsed as a &lt;br&gt; by the wikimedia software. It is also good to keep the parameters in the template code in the order they appear in template. someone looking for the below will, naturally, look for it at the end of the template. I will correct this in the templates shortly. ] (]) 17:23, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
:::I never called your edits "bad faith", I think you are misunderstanding what I said to you. I said the personalised comments aimed at me are "bad faith". As for the vandalism thing, you altered a template, to which I then asked you above to cease. What you should have done was to engage in this debate before re-revrting the template again. That is the correct procedure. As you failed to engage into reasonable discussion, then your action is borderline vandalism. You also state that you will notify ] to review the templates. I cannot see them taking action in all honesty, as the project ] concluded in a discussion about reviewing these templates to being with. As there was a majority consensus, then a diplomatic agreement has been reached regarding the go-ahead for the new format. {{tag|noinclude}} was already in the original templates, all that has been added is the new format, the {{tag|noinclude}} sections haven't been touched. So to accuse me of adding something which was already in the original is uncalled for. ]]] 17:41, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

For your continued work on templates, particularly your dedication to templates that are insanely complicated, such as Template:Infobox country.

Hi Frietjes I Respect Your opinion, I try To merge these pages to the main Volleyball box page but It seems technically hard for me, I tell the creator of volleyball box page to add these categories, He didin't Reply at all So I have created these pages I think its a useful solution. so please I hope to keep these pages, cause when you delete it all. It will deform the panorama in other linked pages. thanks Elly mino (talk) 22:05, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

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 57 22:32, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Howdy! So I'm a huge fan of you User:Frietjes/addcheckforunknownparameters.js and have used it a TON. Since the logical next step after using it is to insert {{unknown params category|foo_bar}}, I added a few lines of code that send that to the clipboard, hopefully saving a few keystrokes.

Module:Location map/data/Montenegro

Hi,

You seams to be the author of Module:Location map/data/Montenegro. Did you maybe also made the maps? They don't seams to have the same limits. Argo Navis (talk) 13:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Argo Navis, although it looks like I am the author, all I did was migrate it from the old Template system to the new Module system. you can see the old template history in the history for the documentation page. I agree that it looks like the relief map doesn't have the same edges as the non-relief map. it looks like the problem started with this edit where the relief map was changed by Obersachse?

Help with Template:Summer Olympics by year category navigation

Can you fix Template:Summer Olympics by year category navigation? Because it does not display correctly on recent Olympic basketball categories. For example, Category:2004 Basketball Olympic squad templates (1936–2004) and Category:2008 Summer Olympics basketball squad navigational boxes (2008–2024) have some kind of cutoff. I thought of asking this template's creator for help, but she is blocked indefinitely. Therefore, you are quite familiar with templates so help would be appreciated. – sbaio 13:32, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

sbaio, it looks like the problem is that the name pattern changed between 2004 and 2008. the easiest solution is to move Category:2004 Basketball Olympic squad templates and earlier to Category:2004 Basketball Olympic squad navigational boxes which would still be an accurate category name. harder would be to have the template automatically check for two names. Frietjes (talk) 15:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for explanation. I have another question regarding templates in the mentioned categories. Is there a way to summon some kind of bot that would make a mass deletion request for those templates. I have already nominated a bunch of such templates at Misplaced Pages:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 November 18#Basketball national team roster navboxes. However, there are about 156 more such templates that should be deleted. I also thought about WP:SPEEDY, but I am not sure which criteria would fit it. – sbaio 16:03, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
you can make a WP:BOTREQ for tagging a large number of templates for deletion. Frietjes (talk) 16:13, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Template:T

@Frietjes You added the T template to some redlinks in my sandbox. I don't mind at all, but I was just wondering what the purpose of this was, were the redlinks in the sandbox causing a problem I am unaware of? Demt1298 (talk) 13:50, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Demt1298, thank you for asking! there are a couple database reports that are generated that keep track of transclusions of missing templates (here and here). by prefixing the missing templates with {{t}} it changes the transclusion to a link and removes it from the clean up list. thank you! Frietjes (talk) 15:13, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
@Frietjes Good to know, so should I just use it while they are in the sandbox, or should I use it for a new article I have written and am awaiting for the linked article to be written in the future? I do quit a bit of WikiProject Football and often am awaiting another article I know will be written to be completed. Demt1298 (talk) 15:45, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
Demt1298, for articles, we usually just comment it out until the template is created. thank you. Frietjes (talk) 16:23, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Removing citations

Please go back to articles where you removed citations to Allmovie and fix them. In this edit, for example, you removed a citation to Allmovie simply because some random template was deleted. In all the edits you did this, please go back and restore the citation, cited to the URL that the template used to point to. Unless, of course, you can point to a discussion that has deprecated Allmovie as a reliable source. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:41, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
