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)

 Done * Pppery * it has begun... 18:50, 20 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)

Template-protected edit request on 6 May 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected module at Module:Storm categories/categories.
(edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the module's sandbox before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Please replace the text on the Module:Storm categories/categories page with what's currently at Module:Storm categories/categories/sandbox. The change includes more new scales as well as the addition of dozens of status icon images. Noah 21:41, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
