Template talk:Tlx
Thin space[edit]
Using <small> </small> is a kludge, putting it mildly, but the proper   is translated to UTF-8 by the server on the fly, and it doesn't work with old browsers. The code column in the example shows this effect - there is of course no such thing as a monospaced  , neither emulated nor real.
Another trick used by {{Tlx}} is <tt>|</tt> for the pipe symbol (vertical bar), a monospaced | adjacent to other text is better visible in the output for proportional fonts. I hope you like it, it's not ideal for text mode browsers. -- Omniplex 21:57, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
1st parameter[edit]
{{Editprotected}}
The 1st parameter had a self-reference as default in 2006, and supported localized Template namespaces. That was lost resulting in gibberish as first line on the template page itself. Please fix…
- old
Template:{{{1|}}}|{{{1|}}}
- new
{{ns:Template}}:{{{1|Tlx}}}|{{{1|Tlx}}}
…in the first line. –Be..anyone (talk) 23:08, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
Done, thanks! — Revi 11:16, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
works for me[edit]
@Peteforsyth: does everything as it should, seven parameters, new SISTER feature, no nonsense even if it used to be technically interesting like Patrick's subst concept, stamped as works for me + omniplex representing this long dead entity. Sync'ed with d: and mw:, for c: an update request is already registered. –Be..anyone (talk) 23:31, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Portability[edit]
{{editprotected}}
- Please replace the first line …
{{[[{{{SISTER|}}}{{ns:Template}}:{{{1|Tlx}}}|{{{1|Tlx}}}]]<!--
- … by a portable version …
{{[[{{#if:{{{SISTER|}}}|{{{SISTER}}}Template|{{ns:Template}}}}:{{{1|Tlx}}}|{{{1|Tlx}}}]]<!--
- … working also on Wikis with other names for the template namespace.
I've already fixed dewiki, mediawikwiki, and wikidata. –Be..anyone (talk) 03:04, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
- Done. —MarcoAurelio 09:18, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
