== ]: Discussion on the use of navigation templates ==

Hello,

There is currently a discussion ongoing at ] on the future use of ] (navboxes) within Eurovision articles. The consequences of this discussion could have a large impact on how these templates are organized, named, and used in future, so all project members are invited to participate in the discussion.

You are receiving this message since you are listed as a member of WikiProject Eurovision. If you are no longer interested in contributing to Eurovision articles, please remove your username from ].

<!-- Delivery requested by ] and approved by ]. -->

I've just noticed that the messagebot never posted the original invitation to engage the Eurovision templates review, therefore I am posting a copy of it manually. It is advisable to engage your concerns and discuss your preferred style on the talk page, before going ahead and wasting time making alterations which is going against a previously agreed consensus. Going about such edit warring activities is very disruptive and may result in a block. ]]] 17:54, 6 April 2012 (UTC)


:I have also just noticed that you've been warned in the past about altering templates in a disruptive manner, and you've even been for such activities. Please be cautious as you are now going the same actions again, and I have seen users get an indefinite block before now for breaching the same warning more than once. ]]] 17:57, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

::I appreciate that you're helping with fixing the template layouts, but I am in trying myself to get through them all this week, as I was unable to do them over the weekend due to London 2012 Olympics Volunteer training. Now that I'm using AWB to fix these, I keep getting edit conflicts, as you're also making edits to the same templates in unison. Thanks. ]]] 16:15, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
::: when will you be finished? ] (]) 16:17, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

::::As I mentioned I had a busy schedule last weekend; which if it wasn't for that, I'd have been halfway through them all by now. I'm back on training this Saturday 21 April; and hoping to have the templates fixed by then. But I'm not slave-driving myself to get them all done within a day. I feel more comfortable doing them in stages over a period a time; and in the same process I'm going through each of them with a fine tooth-comb in case there were any spelling/tagging mistakes. I hope I'm not sounding picky here, its just personally I like to fix any errors which I created, and use that as a learning exercise. ]]] 16:21, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
::::: as long as we are not editing at the same time, there should be no issue with "edit conflicts". will you be finished editing for the day in 2 hours, 4 hours? ] (]) 16:23, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

::::::I'm doing them all in stages, not in one constant workload. So I cannot estimate if my editing will be done in 2 hours, 4 hours, etc. It would be just as easy as to leave it with me to get the errors fixed, and you may continue with any other work that needs doing. But believe me, the templates ''will'' be fixed in due course. Rome wasn't built in a day, and it is always better to take time in fixing things, rather than rushing to get them done ASAP. ]]] 16:28, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
::::::: yes, but Misplaced Pages is a collaborative project. are you saying that you don't want me to edit these templates at all? ] (]) 16:29, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
::::::::I know that Misplaced Pages is a collaborative project, I'm not arguing that. But how is a user to learn from any mistakes, if they are not allowed to correct them in the first place? Are you now denying me of learning from my own mistakes, by not allowing me to fix the templates alone? ]]] 16:34, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
::::::::: we are both allowed to edit these templates, since neither of us owns them. in the spirit of collaboration, I am willing to not edit them for a reasonable period of time to avoid edit conflicts. since edit conflicts happen when two people are actively editing a page, I asked when you planned to be finished editing for the day, so we can avoid edit conflicts. if you plan to finish in the next 4 to 6 hours, I can wait that long. If you plan to be finished in the next 8 to 12 hours, I can wait that long. however, I don't think I can simply say that I will never edit these templates. ] (]) 16:40, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
{{outdent|:::::::::}}
I understand where you're coming from there - but I don't know if you're understanding where I'm coming from in respect to allowing a user to rectify their errors, by going back and correcting them. We are, after all, a collaboration team of editors; some know more than others. But we should also be seen as encouraging towards less-confident users, by nudging them in the right direction to become a reasonable member of Misplaced Pages - even if that means stepping back and giving them the benefit of the doubt to fix any mistakes that s/he has made. Would you like me to post your concerns over at the project page? ]]] 16:46, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
: my concern is that you are telling me that I am never allowed to edit these templates. if that is true, we have a problem that needs to be addressed. if you are simply asking for more time, then I can give you more time, but I am asking for an estimate for when I am allowed to edit these templates again. I am perfectly happy to let you fix the problems, or to let Plastikspork fix the problems (). ] (]) 16:51, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

::I've just remember that {{user|Plastikspork}} said I had to notify him when all the templates had been rolled-out so that he can run some BOT thing on them all (whoops). I best let him know, in case there was a specific reason he wanted to run this bot, before continuing with any error fixing. ]]] 16:52, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

::Please don't assume that I am telling you not to touch the templates. That is not true. All I have asked is that a user should be expected to correct their own mistakes, without the assistance/interference of other editors. How else are we expected to encourage a high standard of editing, if we are going to prevent a user to correct mistakes? I'm a firm believer in teaching people the correct ways of doing things, even if it means making them go back and correct previously made mistakes. Isn't that a reasonable request for any editor to make? Are we in an authoritarian state, that we shouldn't be encouraging users to work more effectively, by correcting their errors? ]]] 16:57, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

::I'm starting to feel a little bit run-down and getting the start of a cold. Not a good sign. If you need to refer to a full list of the new templates, then please ]. Remember the link I have attached belongs to my user space, so avoid altering it if possible. For now, I am going to dope myself up with anti-flu medication and take a hot bath. ]]] 17:17, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

I was just wondering if you could help me understand the rationale for the reformatting edits you did to the template above? I can see that they don't change how the template renders, but the format behind the scenes is now inconsistent with pretty much every other radio market navbox. Thanks! ] (]) 03:05, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
: there has been an effort to convert templates from hardcoded bullets to ], which allows the bullets to be set by ]. this effort has been on going for over a year now, and it is preferred since the ] format uses html list markup, which is better for ], since these are lists. I can try to elaborate more if you want. As far as I can tell there are hundreds which have already been converted. if you could point me to the inconsistency, I would be happy to work on it, since I have scripts to perform the conversions. as far as I can tell, ] is consistent, as is Arizona and Nevada. almost all the television market templates have already been converted as well. thank you. ] (]) 00:06, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
::Thanks for the explanation - I actually saw someone else make a similar set of edits to another navbox today and followed the link they included in their edit summary too. Makes perfect sense. I'd be willing to bet that the navboxes in almost all of the Arbitron market navboxes by state series' need to be converted. I'm actually doing some cleanup work on those right now, so I'll convert any that I came across needing it but if you have scripts, you'll probably get to them before I do. ] (]) 01:07, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

==Splitting the Philippine Cinema template==
I reverted your edit on splitting the template for not consulting other contributors about their opinions on the split. With just one template, which provides several links about Philippine cinema, you just need to add that one template to an article instead of multiple templates if it is divided. So, instead of seeing just one template below an article, now you have to see multiple templates below the article relating to Philippine cinema. Personally, I don't see a reason for splitting the template, maybe it just need some tweaking. Please initiate a talk, start a vote, or ask for opinions as there should be a consensus first per ].

I have see "state = Illinois" before. in the second example, it preserved the already specified default state of open by changing <nowiki>state = open</nowiki> to <nowiki>state = {{{state|open}}}</nowiki>. the following edit, , was an editor objecting to allowing one to change the collapsible state of the template (see below). ] (]) 15:18, 11 July 2012 (UTC)


== Collapsible option ==
Hello,

Tony has pointed me to you as the person behind the bypassing of the navbox's function of collapsing if more than one collapsible template is on a page.

Could you please point to the consensus where it was decided that this should be an article level paramater? Otherwise, can you please stop and undo your changes until such a consensus is reached?

Thanks,

- ] (]) 22:40, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
: I am not "the person behind the bypassing of the navbox's function of collapsing if more than one collapsible template is on a page". if you check the edit history of the Torchwood template, this has been the case since the template was created (e.g., ). I am also not the person who decided that "this should be an article level paramater ". if you check my edit history, I am not the one who is going around adding this en mass to templates. currently, the {{tl|collapsible option}} template has over transclusions. you can check what links to that template to see how the option was added. there are just as many templates which have this option, but using a different method, like {{tl|Kansas}}. if you have a problem with one of my edits, then please let me know which edit. I did create a script for Tony to facilitate adding the {{tl|collapsible option}} to groups of templates, but I am not the one who decided this was a good idea. however, I have seen some cases where it is a good idea (e.g., ]). for example, if you have many templates wrapped inside of a {{tl|navboxes}} and you would like one of them to be uncollapsed (e.g., see ]). or if you have a very long template, and you would like to have it collapsed by default in very short articles. if you would like to debate the merits of {{tl|collapsible option}}, then I would suggest taking it to either ] or ]. thank you. ] (]) 15:28, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
::There is a difference between having the navigation box it self set to collapse or not and moving that decision to the article level.

==Invitation to wikiFeed==
Hello Frietjes,

I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Misplaced Pages editors find interesting content to contribute to Misplaced Pages. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Misplaced Pages editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Misplaced Pages articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Misplaced Pages in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this and follow this to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started.

For more information about wikiFeed, visit our ]. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed!

The colors are there because they relate to the series. Please see ], ], ], ], ], among others. It is very common for navigational boxes to have eligible colors that relate to the series' theme look.

After you erased the colors, and I reverted, it would have been polite for you to start a discussion.
