trying to create a smiley template to make the community people to smile more often!!!

Template:Smiley2 and Template:Smiley3. benzband ( talk) 10:21, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
Is there any reason not to combine these templates into one. It would certainly make finding just the right smiley a little easier and also create a consistent syntax?
These are the template that think should be combined:
All thoughts are welcome. - Mr X 15:08, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
{{
smiley|sad}}
; {{
smiley2|sad}}
; {{
sert|sad}}
or these three set to "tongue": {{
smiley|tongue}}
; {{
smiley2|tongue}}
; {{
oldsmiley|tongue}}
); which allows for editors to choose between them if they have a preference. And if we managed to combine the options from all four templates into one, wouldn't that make it more cumbersome to use as well as upset the appearance of smileys already placed on pages across Wikipedia?

Hello. I'm thinking that a template {{
p}} as a (more standardized, less garbled-looking and easier) means to render page numbers (mostly within <ref>s, e.g. "p. 1
") might be worthwhile. (So, too, might {{
pp}}, etc.) If so, this would mean this template {{
Smiley}} would need a different redirect. Would that be acceptable..?

Wikidata uses two concepts repeatedly, P and Q. Template:Q makes a link to Wikidata items. Template:P currently redirects to Template:Smiley, but could go to Wikidata properties. Since the concept of P is so fundamental to Wikidata, and since the current P redirect to smiley is only used about 1500 times, I propose to take over Template:P for Wikidata. Any objections? See Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:P for usage. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:27, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

By default, if I use the smile emoticon, hovering over it displays the words 'smiling face', but I might want to change this to things like Smile, LOL, LMAO, Thanks, I love it, You cannot be serious (provided that's not being used as a Personal Attack), Oops - how foolish of me, or something in the native language of the editor I'm talking to, and so on. So what would be nice is to add a new 'desc=' parameter that defaults to what we currently display but can be entered by us (perhaps including some documented 'no words' option (such as two or more blank spaces), as no words would normally give the default).

Note 2: I had to add the above description manually, as it did not appear when I submitted it by the recommended procedure (which also had the same effect in the Preview second time around), so I don't know whether the request will be ignored, nor where to report this apparent problem.

title
HTML attribute) would be |title=
. The request seems completely non-controversial, since it would greatly improve the functionality of the template for essentially no overhead (indeed, using the parameter would skip the entire first switch
test if implemented properly). The only issue is sandboxing it and doing some tests to make sure the safesubst stuff is implemented properly; we want the output to be clean regardless what parameters people use. —

Add "plain" smiley that should have been number 2 but will now end at the bottom of the list
Smiley 31: File:Face-plain.svg ( ), code: "plain" -- the problem with providing an alternative code is that the horizontal bar is also the template argument separator. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 16:41, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
At least one smiley, the "awesome" one, is not licensed "public domain" and must be attributed, for example using a link to the file page.
Clicking a smiley currently does not do anything. The reason for this might be convenience, and avoiding accidental clicks? I would personally prefer adding a link to the file page for each of the smiley options, independently of their license. They already have a hover text; why should clicking do nothing? ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 18:53, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Add a hatnote such as:
{{redirect|Template:-)|the formatting template|Template:Space+parenthesis}}
Shortcuts for other formatting templates are {{ -'}} and {{ -"}}. It's logical to assume that {{ -)}} would also be used for a similar purpose. This hatnote would be very helpful in pointing users to the correct place. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:01, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
Used on talk pages all around the project, ending up in years-old archives, this seems to be a classical example of a template that should automatically be substituted by AnomieBOT. It would be trivial to implement this change by adding the relevant code to the template's documentation subpage, so this is not a classical edit request. I am rather posting this here to see if someone raises an objection in the next, say, 30 days. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 09:49, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
