something wrong in a module of Hakka wikipedia

I have copied a module from Min Nan wikipedia (zh-min-nan:Module:Authority control) to Hakka wikipedia (hak:Module:Authority control), but it seems doesn't work. See hak:Template:Authority control, it says: "Lua error in Module:HtmlBuilder 92 lines： Tried to write global getAttr". can someone help me fix it?--el caballero de los Leones (talk) 10:40, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

@唐吉訶德的侍從: hak:Module:Navbox and hak:Module:Navbar needed to be updated. However, some new texts appeared in the English version since last copying, so these are still in English (I’ve marked them by adding a -- TODO translate before them, which can be safely removed in its entirety after translating), while other texts use Chinese characters; you may want to use Latin instead. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 12:52, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very much!--el caballero de los Leones (talk) 16:45, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Watchlist

Feature could be useful to add : running on mobile version, the watchlist only displays conventionnal pages (articles). Yhe talk pages and the help pages are not in sight. So you cannot withdraw them easily from your list. Apoart from that, the design is very nice on mobile version. 109.62.69.39 20:46, 5 August 2019 (UTC) Le Vernaculaire Post Scriptm : I've got an English account but I mostly contribute over french wiki

multiple issues in Hakka wikipedia

There are multiple issues in Hakka wikipedia. Let's see the page hak:Liû Tet-fà, it looks ugly:

1. First, the template {{Infobox}} should have a frame and float to right just like its English version.
2. Second, the template {{Navbox}} should have a "show/hide" botton just like its English version. In Hakka, " hién-sṳ " = show, " yún-chhòng " = hide.--el caballero de los Leones (talk) 12:24, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

@唐吉訶德的侍從: Fixed both. The navbox toggle links don’t use your translations but already existing translations from translatewiki.net (translatewiki:MediaWiki:Collapsible-expand/hak and translatewiki:MediaWiki:Collapsible-collapse/hak). Feel free to correct them if they’re wrong, but please note that you need a separate account to change translations on Translatewiki. Also I noticed that the collapse text is broken into two lines for me. This is because of the rule in hak:MediaWiki:Common.css, line 266 (you can see line numbers if you click on the “Khon ngièn-sṳ́-mâ” tab). Probably a bit larger number is needed for Hakka text (8em looks good for me), but you need to ask for help at Steward requests/Miscellaneous for steward help to change it as only stewards and interface administrators can modify Common.css (see Interface administrators for explanation), and currently there are no interface admins on Hakka Wikipedia. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:29, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks a lot!--el caballero de los Leones (talk) 10:56, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
