Template talk:ChartDisplay#Parameter case
Parameter case
@GalStar I'm going to go ahead and change all the parameters to lowercase, since that is the standard in the vast majority of template (including {{tl|Graph:Chart}}). I'll also update the handful of pages that transclude the template. --Ahecht (TALK

:I would also recommend moving this template to something like {{tl|Chart display}} per WP:TPN, which says {{tq|template names are easiest to remember if they follow standard English spelling, spacing, and capitalization}}. You might even want to look unto usurping {{tl|Chart}} (which is currently an alias for {{tl|Tree chart}}), but that would require updating [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=hastemplate%3A%22Template%3AChart%22+insource%3A%22%7B%7BChart%22+insource%3A%2F%5C%7B%5C%7B%3A%3F%5BCc%5Dhart%5Cs*%5C%7C%2F&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 900 articles]. --Ahecht (TALK

::Yeah my original intent was to create a template called chart. I'll ask for a bot to usurp it. GalStar (talk) 23:58, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
Sandbox version
@GalStar I made a sandbox version at Template:ChartDisplay/sandbox that copies a lot of code from {{tl|Graph:Lines}} and enables a thumbnail version. You can see it in action (and the syntax) at Template:ChartDisplay/testcases. I could probably pretty up the code a little, but it works for now. Only tricky bit was getting the thumbnail version to be well-behaved if a width wasn't specified. --Ahecht (TALK

:Thanks so much, I'm not really experienced in templates myself. I'll just copy it over. GalStar (talk) 02:54, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
