So I just used the script to relist a page, but for some reason half the conversation shows up outside the {{ collapse top}}. It has something to do with the {{ flatlist}}, though I can't figure out what's throwing the error. Primefac ( talk) 01:57, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
Is there a way to make the rationale not appear bold and included with the delete result? I just had to remove a bunch of silliness because the {{ Old TfD}} notice had "the result was..." and then gave the entire rationale (see here and the edit summary there for what I'm talking about). Primefac ( talk) 19:27, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
'''
in the prompt box, between the result and any rationale or further comments (e.g. Keep.''' While the result appears the same, these two templates are used for very different purposes
). This way, only the result will be bolded on TfD pages, and only the result will be put into the Old Tfd template. -

If a template is ready for deletion (i.e. added to that section at the Holding Cell, shouldn't {{ db-xfd}} be added to the page instead of {{ being deleted}}? Bit of a hassle to say it's ready to be deleted, and then go in and edit the page to add the CSD tags. Primefac ( talk) 20:17, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
A while ago, I nominated of very large number of templates for merging. Since there were a large number of templates, I put most of them in a collapse box. Today, Omni Flames relisted the debate using this script, and it only updated the links on the templates outside of the collapse box, leaving the links on the rest of the templates still pointing to the original day. This is a bug that should be fixed. Ppp ery 13:03, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
Methinks that some spaces should be turned into underscores on the Relist script. When I relist a discussion it gives the message "Closed as Relisted on
2016 September 18 (reload page to see the actual close)." I'm guessing that instead of Wikipedia:Templates_for_d...
it's putting Wikipedia:Templates for d...

It wouldn't close discussions like this one. Seems to be a problem if the name has a slash in the title. You probably just need to escape some characters in the regexp or something. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 00:05, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
When relisting the {{ subst:relist}} appears to be on the same line as the last comment, resulting in some div errors ( Special:Diff/741506781) which need to be fixed manually ( Special:Diff/741507024). Primefac ( talk) 23:05, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
Is there a way to skip the Holding Cell stage? I closed a discussion as "redirect", which took one edit to implement, and then I had to go over to the Holding Cell to remove the entry, which took a lot more clicks. If not, that's fine, but I thought I'd ask. Primefac ( talk) 23:30, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
I closed this discussion as "delete/other", but for some reason it tagged the wrong page (and with a non-standard delete message). My guess is that the multiple "Template:" in the link name threw it off. Fortunately the issue was caught before the wrong page was deleted. Primefac ( talk) 02:28, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
I had to clean up after closing Template:Ordovician nav. Basically, you can see that there is now another module stuck inside, so the pattern match needs to be updated to get the whole thing. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 02:12, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
I listed some templates on 4 Nov. It doesn't have "Template" in the section header, the first template uses {{ tfd links}}, and I've put the other 86 inside {{ cot}}/{{ cob}} (for obvious reason). Is there some combination of the above that makes it so the script doesn't recognize there are template there? I completely understand not reading the ones in cot/cob (especially since they're just template links and not tfd links), but I put the one up top in an attempt to make it closable. Primefac ( talk) 04:11, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi, this may be due to changes at {{ Tfd links}}, but when I closed a discussion with more than one {{ Tfd links}}, the delete button only deleted every other template in the list. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 16:53, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

@ Pppery, Primefac, Plastikspork, and Omni Flames: (and any others who are interested)
After I moment of inspiration/enlightenment this morning, I finally figured out how to get the script to function properly when some of the nominated templates have been collapsed with {{
cob}}&{{
cot}}, or similar templates. Just make sure that at least one * {{Tfd links
... line stays out above, and the script should detect the collapsed ones. This should solve a months-old bug, mentioned above in

§ Jackpot of missed signals?. Cheers and merry xmas, -

As of this particular moment I am unable to relist this TFD. Not sure if it's because it's the top template or something else, but it doesn't look like there's anything different about it (compared to other noms). Primefac ( talk) 00:26, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
The quick delete/keep options don't add a full stop after the delete rationale (so it shows up as Delete Name). It's a minor thing, but it bothers me :p Primefac ( talk) 01:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
I'm getting this error when I try to relist:
Error: "·" is not in Template: namespace, TFDcloser will not edit this page
It also wouldn't let me delete a page (bad header or something, refreshed before I could see it). Had to delete manually. Primefac ( talk) 00:11, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
You're scripts probably need to be updated to account for Template talk:Tfd#New Request 2017-03-04, which added an HTML comment to the end of the output produced by {{ subst:tfd}}. Ppp ery 14:36, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
