as for the fixes to WP:HLIST, the parenthetical sections are sublists, and should use a sublist markup.
in other words, if you check the HTML source for

I would get rid of this feature. yes, it is possible to write something that crops both 'File:' and 'Image:', but there is still 'File :' and 'Image :' and this starts to get expensive to process. if the image isn't showing up, editors will figure out why and fix it. it's better to just rely on editors to figure this one out (in my opinion). by the way, a more robust way to handle the imagesize is to use {{px|{{{imagesize|}}}|80px}}, which works even when someone includes |imagesize=
but leaves it blank. otherwise everything looks good.

|imagelink=
if it is not specified, by stripping the (typically four characters) from the end of the filename. I would still say remove this part, since string processing templates are relatively expensive. this one uses both str left (not that expensive) and str len (more expensive). it seems like a lot to go through to just get some 'hover over' text for the image.

any particular reason for replacing this template with <div class=hlist>? it makes it harder to track the uses of this construct, and is equivalent in function. also, it would be great if you could avoid adding background color statements to the below (or any section), since they don't work with CSS classes. for example, I (like many other visually impaired users) have redefined the values for the navbox colours in my Special:MyPage/skin.css file. otherwise, everything looks great.

looks like the solution for flatlists as group names. As regards the below line, I think I only changed the background so that it didn't look like an expandable section, so it's no great loss to discontinue -- but I suppose an enquiry about |belowclass=navbox-title
at MediaWiki:common.css as well as that other MediaWiki:common.css suggestion you made (must find that again) might be worthwhile?

Hi, just a stylistic quibble about the (great) new country template.
It looks perfect on the blank template page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Country_topics
In operation though, I can't see the faint zebra-stripes/watermark (gray, white, gray, white) in the white-space background that helps people visually keep track of what sub-section they are looking across.
For example, on the Ecuador topics page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Ecuador_topics
I can see one grey-shaded bar at the bottom (across the culture subsection), but all the rest of the background shows up white.

It's not the only edit I've seen a problem with. The exact problem with that edit was that when you changed things the way you did, what you were really creating was sublists, when those particular links are plainly not sublist items. My formatting has a similar problem with the insertion of the div element, which creates two separate lists, which is plainly not desirable either (but more desirable than multiple sublists, in my opinion). (I was simply trying to preserve formatting prior to conversion to use the more semantic lists.) Anyway, for the definition of semantic which I'm using, see Semantic HTML and WP:Accessibility#Lists. -- Izno ( talk) 20:00, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
The issue of a template being too narrow is an issue whether hlist is used or not, so you have not shown there why one is preferable to the other. Wasting too much space I don't see as an issue. (I see the use of sidebars as wasting space and duplicating other navigation, but that's a polar opposite to what I'm arguing here.)
I might agree that hlist is not well-adapted to vertical use, and so it probably should not be used. There are no alternatives, but that's not a bad thing because you still end up breaking the semantic list component. -- Izno ( talk) 23:26, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

hlist
class too..?The AWB Typo rule "(best/well) known" is a good example of Regex lookahead/lookbehind coding. It uses a negative lookbehind to prevent the rule from acting if "the" precedes "best" or "well". It uses a positive lookahead to ensure that text such as "well-known" is followed by "for", "as", "by", "in" or "that". If you examine and understand this rule, and play with it in the Regex tester, you'll be well on your way. Chris the speller yack 16:18, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I feel a little guilty when I revert some positive edits along with negative edits (one reason why some editors make a number of edits per page). I'm not sure I agree that there were many positive ones in this case.
The width change I don't see as a good change, because if it is really a problem for narrow screens then that should be changed at Template:Sidebar and not elsewhere. A mass change to templates, without editing the templates themselves can be construed as somewhat disruptive. (On a side note, I would personally require that all sidebar/infobox/navbox templates use the default styles and not allow non-default styling, but that's just my opinion and it is unshared by a significant portion of the community I imagine.)
The expanded parameter change isn't a good one either. We should try to avoid having multiple inputs for the user in templates like these. I suspect you may have picked that up from navboxes where that usage is a legacy artifact from when not all navboxes were standardized. Having less parameters also makes it easier for bots to maintain. Standard usage is also of benefit so that editors can move from one template to another easily (in fact, this is the reason navbox, sidebar, etc. exist).
I think the liststyle and contentstyle changes were unnecessary and to me they fall in the line of the width change.
I completely disagree with the use of bigger and the div with padding. I have no opinion on the use of divs to divide the sections; I just might advise that you be careful with them. (Consider this revision's sparing use of divs, which was primarily to maintain the styling introduced by earlier editors when I converted the template to use T:Sidebar.)
I'm not sure about the use of longlink, but it would seem that's on a per-item basis (I would try to keep it to the exceptionally long items; non-breaking spaces in links is a default behavior for a reason which obviously doesn't translate well to sidebars).
Thanks for asking questions and expecting me to answer. It helps rise me out of relative complacence. :) Expect another topic below this one soon. -- Izno ( talk) 04:48, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I realize you're trying to keep this navbox at 18 em in width and only reluctantly removed the hlists, but could you put them back?

I didn't think you understand what accessibility means here. If you have a list of elements, then presenting it as a proper HTML list indicates to screen readers that it forms a single coherent list. In edits such as this one, you've mangled the lists for what appears to be your own personal aesthetic belief that line breaks make the template prettier. Could you please stop doing this? A significant amount of work went into most of the organised labour templates that you've worked on recently in order to correct this problem and it's not at all obvious that your edits are improvements.

content
or list
entry. That is entirely what I'm getting at: you're taking contents which are broadly linked in a semantic sense and, for what I assume to be perceived minor differences, splitting them up into different sections and thus mangling the semantics that the list markup affords them. With regard to the {{
collapsible list}} code, while it would indeed override definitions made beforehand that is not proven to be a negative, as per the general understanding that the point of code like this is to enforce a degree of consistency; making declarations after the style variables is a sensible way of overriding potentially unwanted manual declarations.

Why do you need AWB? Materialscientist ( talk) 00:11, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
OK, I see you are trying to fancy up the navbox, but we have to keep it accurate. The White and Pinto fixes are OK but the cream gene one is not. Cream is one of several dilution modifiers, along with pearl, silver dapple, etc., but it is unique because it "causes" several different colors... so I don't know how you want to fix that, but it has to be equal to the others in that category (not broken out) AND note that the palomino, cremello, etc. are all influenced by it. Similarly, we have separate articles on Dun and grullo. Sooty, Liver and Seal brown are not necessarily related, they are all just ways horses get darker than their base color, need to remove the and/or slash. But three different things. The footnote on Leopard complex doesn't work at all, we need those two breeds right up there, not in a footnote at the bottom (a lot of people think the leopard complex is called "Appaloosa"). Basically, we liked it the way it was, it was accurate in the way it structured the info, so why does it need to be changed? I'm not opposed to prettifying things, but this isn't quite there. Montanabw (talk) 01:52, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Almost. The dilutions produce differently named colors depending on the underlyng base coat color. i.e. even though the double-dllute creams look practically identical to a layperson, DNA tests will show that the cremello has a genetic base of chestnut, the perlino, bay and the smoky cream, black. The pinto situation is a particular custerf**k because of modern DNA turning old categories upside down, complicated by the differences between US and UK English. The word "overo" is an old term for "anything that isn't Tobiano" but in the modern world, has no DNA type attached to it, as sabino, splash white and frame are all created by different genetic mechanisms (and Sabino may have multiple ones). A "tovero" is a horse with both Tobiano and one of the overo patterns visible. Let me take a whack at what you have below and see if I can clarify what's iffy; what I can't figure out, I'll insert hidden text to explain what I'm fretting about. Montanabw (talk) 20:27, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Yes, Isabelline is a word the Europeans use for what English speakers in the USA call "Palomino." I like playing with this over here, and it IS improving. I think I screwed up something, wasn't the "White" and "Pinto Patterns" sections once colored in light blue? They should be, as in the pinto section, it isn't so obvious now that Overo, etc. belongs there. Can you fix that bit? I'm wondering if the markings and patterns section needs better overall organization, but not sure how to get there. Here's the deal: Stuff like Bend-or spots are rare and minor, stuff like the Leopard Complex and roan are major coat colors just like the pinto stuff. Point coloration is something seen in Bay horses, and Primitive markings are a characteristic of Duns, but have a separate article for a number of good reasons. Brindle is just. plain. weird. So though the alphabetizing we have now isn't ideal. But the problem is, the line between a "marking" and a "coat color pattern" can sometimes be a fine one, (hence the article cropout, which explains it a little bit, but also proves how crazy horse people are). So, while it makes sense to group markings and patterns, I wish we could find a way to distinguish the major coat color articles from the "here's another weird thing horses' coats can do" articles. Any ideas? Montanabw (talk) 03:55, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
Looks fine here. I've amended the state parameter handling so that it's not necessary to include "state=" and the last point in the "How to manage this template's visibility" notes to indicate that "expanded" is the default state.

22:06, 10 April 2013 (UTC)Hello, CS.
On Template:History of Western philosophy, here's something you might find easy to do. Just complete my effort to simplify markup of your Template:Sidebar subsection as indicated in the wp:diff here, so it would look just like before my Edits today but with even simpler coding, that is, to put additional horizontal space above by Era & by Century relative to my Edit. (Anyone else watching this page might do the same thing and get back to you on it.)
On the other hand, maybe it's not so easy as I might think (really, hope). -- Thomasmeeks ( talk) 18:36, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello again, Cs. The latest collaborative Edit here of the above Sidebar might be a useful example of how to adapt Template:Sidebar subsection so that is not so much an override as a supplementation of CSS styling.

Hi CsDix, i came over your proposal to rename Template:Palestinian_National_Authority_and_the_Palestinian_people, which didn't pass back then. At the time i did offer to rename it to Template:State of Palestine topics per recent upgrade of the Palestinian Authority to non-member state status in the UN and replacement of UN and ISO designation change to "Palestine, State of" (see [5], [6]). Since i refrain from large scale involvement in Palestinian-topic articles, do you mind to reissue your proposal to rename "Template:Palestinian National Authority and the Palestinian people"->"Template:State of Palestine topics"?

I would get rid of this feature. yes, it is possible to write something that crops both 'File:' and 'Image:', but there is still 'File :' and 'Image :' and this starts to get expensive to process. if the image isn't showing up, editors will figure out why and fix it. it's better to just rely on editors to figure this one out (in my opinion). by the way, a more robust way to handle the imagesize is to use {{px|{{{imagesize|}}}|80px}}, which works even when someone includes |imagesize=
but leaves it blank. otherwise everything looks good.

|imagelink=
if it is not specified, by stripping the (typically four characters) from the end of the filename. I would still say remove this part, since string processing templates are relatively expensive. this one uses both str left (not that expensive) and str len (more expensive). it seems like a lot to go through to just get some 'hover over' text for the image.

any particular reason for replacing this template with <div class=hlist>? it makes it harder to track the uses of this construct, and is equivalent in function. also, it would be great if you could avoid adding background color statements to the below (or any section), since they don't work with CSS classes. for example, I (like many other visually impaired users) have redefined the values for the navbox colours in my Special:MyPage/skin.css file. otherwise, everything looks great.

Hi, just a stylistic quibble about the (great) new country template.
It looks perfect on the blank template page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Country_topics
In operation though, I can't see the faint zebra-stripes/watermark (gray, white, gray, white) in the white-space background that helps people visually keep track of what sub-section they are looking across.
For example, on the Ecuador topics page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Ecuador_topics
I can see one grey-shaded bar at the bottom (across the culture subsection), but all the rest of the background shows up white.

It's not the only edit I've seen a problem with. The exact problem with that edit was that when you changed things the way you did, what you were really creating was sublists, when those particular links are plainly not sublist items. My formatting has a similar problem with the insertion of the div element, which creates two separate lists, which is plainly not desirable either (but more desirable than multiple sublists, in my opinion). (I was simply trying to preserve formatting prior to conversion to use the more semantic lists.) Anyway, for the definition of semantic which I'm using, see Semantic HTML and WP:Accessibility#Lists. -- Izno ( talk) 20:00, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
The issue of a template being too narrow is an issue whether hlist is used or not, so you have not shown there why one is preferable to the other. Wasting too much space I don't see as an issue. (I see the use of sidebars as wasting space and duplicating other navigation, but that's a polar opposite to what I'm arguing here.)
I might agree that hlist is not well-adapted to vertical use, and so it probably should not be used. There are no alternatives, but that's not a bad thing because you still end up breaking the semantic list component. -- Izno ( talk) 23:26, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

class too..?The AWB Typo rule "(best/well) known" is a good example of Regex lookahead/lookbehind coding. It uses a negative lookbehind to prevent the rule from acting if "the" precedes "best" or "well". It uses a positive lookahead to ensure that text such as "well-known" is followed by "for", "as", "by", "in" or "that". If you examine and understand this rule, and play with it in the Regex tester, you'll be well on your way. Chris the speller yack 16:18, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I feel a little guilty when I revert some positive edits along with negative edits (one reason why some editors make a number of edits per page). I'm not sure I agree that there were many positive ones in this case.
The width change I don't see as a good change, because if it is really a problem for narrow screens then that should be changed at Template:Sidebar and not elsewhere. A mass change to templates, without editing the templates themselves can be construed as somewhat disruptive. (On a side note, I would personally require that all sidebar/infobox/navbox templates use the default styles and not allow non-default styling, but that's just my opinion and it is unshared by a significant portion of the community I imagine.)
The expanded parameter change isn't a good one either. We should try to avoid having multiple inputs for the user in templates like these. I suspect you may have picked that up from navboxes where that usage is a legacy artifact from when not all navboxes were standardized. Having less parameters also makes it easier for bots to maintain. Standard usage is also of benefit so that editors can move from one template to another easily (in fact, this is the reason navbox, sidebar, etc. exist).
I think the liststyle and contentstyle changes were unnecessary and to me they fall in the line of the width change.
I completely disagree with the use of bigger and the div with padding. I have no opinion on the use of divs to divide the sections; I just might advise that you be careful with them. (Consider this revision's sparing use of divs, which was primarily to maintain the styling introduced by earlier editors when I converted the template to use T:Sidebar.)
I'm not sure about the use of longlink, but it would seem that's on a per-item basis (I would try to keep it to the exceptionally long items; non-breaking spaces in links is a default behavior for a reason which obviously doesn't translate well to sidebars).
Thanks for asking questions and expecting me to answer. It helps rise me out of relative complacence. :) Expect another topic below this one soon. -- Izno ( talk) 04:48, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I realize you're trying to keep this navbox at 18 em in width and only reluctantly removed the hlists, but could you put them back?

I didn't think you understand what accessibility means here. If you have a list of elements, then presenting it as a proper HTML list indicates to screen readers that it forms a single coherent list. In edits such as this one, you've mangled the lists for what appears to be your own personal aesthetic belief that line breaks make the template prettier. Could you please stop doing this? A significant amount of work went into most of the organised labour templates that you've worked on recently in order to correct this problem and it's not at all obvious that your edits are improvements.

content
or list
entry. That is entirely what I'm getting at: you're taking contents which are broadly linked in a semantic sense and, for what I assume to be perceived minor differences, splitting them up into different sections and thus mangling the semantics that the list markup affords them. With regard to the {{
collapsible list}} code, while it would indeed override definitions made beforehand that is not proven to be a negative, as per the general understanding that the point of code like this is to enforce a degree of consistency; making declarations after the style variables is a sensible way of overriding potentially unwanted manual declarations.

Hi CsDix. Would you mind taking another look at this template? Somehow your recent edits have resulted in every page that transcludes it being logged at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, but I can't see how that could have happened. I don't have sufficient knowledge of template coding to understand the problem; if you could lend a hand it would be appreciated. Cheers, Yunshui 雲 水 09:04, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
{{

rather than {{
Independent Production}}
. Okay, problem identified - now to see if we can't fix it. This may simply be a case of server lag; I might leave it for a bit and see if it corrects itself - certainly I can't see any reason for the deletion category to still be in place.

09:26, 6 March 2013 (UTC)This morning you did a series of edits to movie and similar articles. Firstly these edits were totally unnecessary: {{ cite web}} works perfectly well with a trailing space. Secondly, and more importantly, each edit put the article into CAT:CSD. I cannot see how this happened. Have you any ideas? Please try and avoid this happening in the future. — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 11:29, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you That was very well done. Thanks. Any chance you can port Template:Longitem over to the Simple English Wikipedia? StevenJ81 ( talk) 18:18, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, CsDix, and thank you for the many template improvements I have seen in my watchlist lately.
I wanted to let you know that sometimes your edits to articles move hatnotes below maintenance templates. A recent example is this edit. According to WP:Hatnote, "Hatnotes are placed at the very top of the article, before any other items such as images, navigational templates and maintenance templates". Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 04:03, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Why do you need AWB? Materialscientist ( talk) 00:11, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
OK, I see you are trying to fancy up the navbox, but we have to keep it accurate. The White and Pinto fixes are OK but the cream gene one is not. Cream is one of several dilution modifiers, along with pearl, silver dapple, etc., but it is unique because it "causes" several different colors... so I don't know how you want to fix that, but it has to be equal to the others in that category (not broken out) AND note that the palomino, cremello, etc. are all influenced by it. Similarly, we have separate articles on Dun and grullo. Sooty, Liver and Seal brown are not necessarily related, they are all just ways horses get darker than their base color, need to remove the and/or slash. But three different things. The footnote on Leopard complex doesn't work at all, we need those two breeds right up there, not in a footnote at the bottom (a lot of people think the leopard complex is called "Appaloosa"). Basically, we liked it the way it was, it was accurate in the way it structured the info, so why does it need to be changed? I'm not opposed to prettifying things, but this isn't quite there. Montanabw (talk) 01:52, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Almost. The dilutions produce differently named colors depending on the underlyng base coat color. i.e. even though the double-dllute creams look practically identical to a layperson, DNA tests will show that the cremello has a genetic base of chestnut, the perlino, bay and the smoky cream, black. The pinto situation is a particular custerf**k because of modern DNA turning old categories upside down, complicated by the differences between US and UK English. The word "overo" is an old term for "anything that isn't Tobiano" but in the modern world, has no DNA type attached to it, as sabino, splash white and frame are all created by different genetic mechanisms (and Sabino may have multiple ones). A "tovero" is a horse with both Tobiano and one of the overo patterns visible. Let me take a whack at what you have below and see if I can clarify what's iffy; what I can't figure out, I'll insert hidden text to explain what I'm fretting about. Montanabw (talk) 20:27, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Yes, Isabelline is a word the Europeans use for what English speakers in the USA call "Palomino." I like playing with this over here, and it IS improving. I think I screwed up something, wasn't the "White" and "Pinto Patterns" sections once colored in light blue? They should be, as in the pinto section, it isn't so obvious now that Overo, etc. belongs there. Can you fix that bit? I'm wondering if the markings and patterns section needs better overall organization, but not sure how to get there. Here's the deal: Stuff like Bend-or spots are rare and minor, stuff like the Leopard Complex and roan are major coat colors just like the pinto stuff. Point coloration is something seen in Bay horses, and Primitive markings are a characteristic of Duns, but have a separate article for a number of good reasons. Brindle is just. plain. weird. So though the alphabetizing we have now isn't ideal. But the problem is, the line between a "marking" and a "coat color pattern" can sometimes be a fine one, (hence the article cropout, which explains it a little bit, but also proves how crazy horse people are). So, while it makes sense to group markings and patterns, I wish we could find a way to distinguish the major coat color articles from the "here's another weird thing horses' coats can do" articles. Any ideas? Montanabw (talk) 03:55, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
Looks fine here. I've amended the state parameter handling so that it's not necessary to include "state=" and the last point in the "How to manage this template's visibility" notes to indicate that "expanded" is the default state.

Hello again, User talk:Thomasmeeks asked that we reduce the width of this box to 18em, which was the standard you wanted as well. I had asked for 20 em to prevent the navbox becoming overly long. I think I've resolved the length issue by substituting a collapsible navbox for the original. Should I go ahead and reduce the width? Schrauwers ( talk) 15:44, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

22:06, 10 April 2013 (UTC)Hello, CS.
On Template:History of Western philosophy, here's something you might find easy to do. Just complete my effort to simplify markup of your Template:Sidebar subsection as indicated in the wp:diff here, so it would look just like before my Edits today but with even simpler coding, that is, to put additional horizontal space above by Era & by Century relative to my Edit. (Anyone else watching this page might do the same thing and get back to you on it.)
On the other hand, maybe it's not so easy as I might think (really, hope). -- Thomasmeeks ( talk) 18:36, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello again, Cs. The latest collaborative Edit here of the above Sidebar might be a useful example of how to adapt Template:Sidebar subsection so that is not so much an override as a supplementation of CSS styling. Would you be interested in revising Template:Sidebar subsection in line with the above Edit (or my doing the same thing)? -- Thomasmeeks ( talk) 16:09, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi CsDix, i came over your proposal to rename Template:Palestinian_National_Authority_and_the_Palestinian_people, which didn't pass back then. At the time i did offer to rename it to Template:State of Palestine topics per recent upgrade of the Palestinian Authority to non-member state status in the UN and replacement of UN and ISO designation change to "Palestine, State of" (see [5], [6]). Since i refrain from large scale involvement in Palestinian-topic articles, do you mind to reissue your proposal to rename "Template:Palestinian National Authority and the Palestinian people"->"Template:State of Palestine topics"? I think there will be a sufficient support now for that. Greyshark09 ( talk) 11:28, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
