Accidental short-circuit in ternary expressions at lines 51 and 73

This module has a mistake at lines 51 and 73, in the instances of or (nullIfMissing and nil or ); these lines attempt to output nil if nullIfMissing is truthy and otherwise , but because nil is falsy, the or will always trigger, and as such the expression simply short-circuits to or . {{Lemondoge|Talk|Contributions}} 22:20, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Edit request 18 April 2023

This edit request to Module:Storm categories/categories has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Could you please replace Module:Storm categories/categories with what's at Module:Storm categories/categories/sandbox? It includes many new scales for various events (most of which were pegged to the existing scheme and the drought ones were discussed here) and icons for the Beaufort scale I produced. The new scales are properly displayed at Module:Storm categories/sandbox. Noah 11:45, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 23 April 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please update the current template with the version currently in the sandbox (compare). Please be careful not to copy over the top and the demo function of the module, which imports sandbox modules; only the relevant parts changed under the first few lines.

Three significant changes were made to the template:

  • An isEqual function was introduced to check if two categories are equal (while also checking aliases),
  • nullIfMissing was renamed to nilIfMissing in all relevant functions.
  • _name was fixed to respect the nilIfMissing parameter, which it previously did not.

I've created the testcases page for future reference and for showing that the changes work (see run results). Please let me know if there's any additional changes that need to be made. Thanks! Chlod (say hi!) 09:13, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
