I'm amazed that someone read the comments on my account request and that accounts truly require manual verification. I'm new to this, you see, but the point is that I'm sorry for being a dick and I appreciate the work you do. Thank you very much for getting me set up!

Why is it necessary to fork Module:Template wrapper from Module:Citation/CS1/Wrapper? Are two modules that do more-or-less the same thing truly required?
— Trappist the monk ( talk) 11:12, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
|blacklist=edition,example2,example3
would prevent the module from passing |edition=
, |example2=
, and |example3=
to the wrapped template.|edition=
which is a valid cs1|2 parameter. I think that valid cs1|2 parameters must not be blacklisted. I don't think that I wrote anything in that conversation to suggest that I objected to blacklisting the parameters used in the wrapper template.if 'string' == type (k)
test when getting the live parameters.{{wrapped template|first|second|third}}
{{{1}}}
and {{{2}}}
every time a particular form of the template is needed.
{{typing aid|third}}
{{typing aid}}
might look like this:{{#invoke:template wrapper|wrap |_template=wrapped template |first |second }}
{{{1}}}
and {{{2}}}
from frame.args
to the arguments table as args[1]
and args[2]
. From pframe.args
the module would extract the 'third' parameter but, in pframe.args
the 'third' parameter value is extracted from pframe.args[1]
and written to args[1]
. The result is the same as if the editor had written:
{{wrapped template|third|second}}
{{typing aid|3=third}}
|_blacklist=
is the best name. That name conveys sense of the forbidden. Perhaps |_exclude=
might be better.|_exclude=
is definitely a better choice. —

Hi, I've left a message on the talk page of the Peter Adriaens article, which my COI prevents me from editing about having the tag removed from the page. I'd love your input. Thanks! Alex Thermopolis ( talk) 13:06, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi.
I just created a new template. Would you please take a look at the source code to make sure if everything is okay? {{

I set ans=no so Cards84664 could see why I turned down the request, and explained so in my edit summary. Special:Diff/826000503 Do you have a better way of showing him why? Cabayi ( talk) 17:20, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Would it be possible to have your bot switch the coordinate templates in Infobox settlement on scowiki in the exact same manner as it was done on enwiki? -- AmaryllisGardener talk 00:58, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
Migrate {{Template name}} coordinates parameters to {{Coord}} see [[Wikipedia:Coordinates in infoboxes]]
. I can use the same thing for scowiki, or you can provide a different one. —

That trick above is cool.
What others do you know? The Transhumanist 07:02, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
The Transhumanist, from the TOTD department, here.
We met on Evad's talk page.
I'm always on the look out for tricks and techniques to add to WP's reservoir of know-how.
I noticed your User:JJMC89/Signature.js page, in which you saved your signature on a page with a .js extension, so that other users could not edit it. Definitely a trick I did not know.
I tested substitution of the page, and it worked fine.
Nice trick.
Out of curiosity, why do you sign from a page rather than via the signature box in preferences?
What else can you tell me about this trick?
I look forward to your reply. The Transhumanist 07:02, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
