Switch of mbox templates and category handler to Lua

I've made a request over at Template talk:Mbox about switching all of the {{tl|mbox}} family templates, plus the {{tl|category handler}} template, to use Lua modules. These templates have millions of transclusions, so I would appreciate comments and some more eyes on the code. Please let me know what you think over at the request page. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 15:10, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

:The proposed changes are now up live - this template has been switched to use Module:Message box. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 12:58, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Bug with imageright?

Several months ago, I found a bug with {{tl|Vector version available}} (e.g. shown here)). Is this a bug related to imageright? If not, does anyone know how to fix the linked template to make it work correctly? +mt 00:54, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

:Template:Imbox → {{no redirect|Template:Mmbox}} – Since the File namespace isn't just for images anymore, I think moving the page to Template:Mmbox might be a good idea. The name, standing for Media Message Box, is a much more fitting designation for this template in my opinion. As much as I would prefer moving this page to Template:Fmbox, I think doing so would likely break way too many things, so I believe that a move to Template:Mmbox would be less confusing.

Oppose. It's an image 99.9% of the time, and I suspect that if people are using this to insert a sound file or a video, they are terribly misusing this template anyway. SnowFire (talk) 17:20, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
Oppose. {{no redirect|Template:Mmbox}} currently redirects to {{no redirect|Template:Mbox}}, likely as a plausible typo. It is convenient to have those message box meta-templates start with a different letter, especially when maintaining :Module:Message box, the lua module generating them. I suppose Module:Message box could still work without modifying all those lines, but it would be inconsistent if the module still refers to the template as "imbox". And since both Image: and Media: prefixes still are aliases to the File namespace, I do not see a significant advantage. Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:31, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

type=license = class=licensetpl?

Currently (since Mr. Stradivarius’s [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Message_box/configuration&diff=635432730 edit] completing the edit request of Guillaume (WMF)) the template sets class="licensetpl" if the type parameter is license. This is not always the case, as also non-copyright restriction templates (like {{tl|Insignia}}, {{tl|Trademark}} or {{tl|Brands of the World SVG}}) use this type. The presence of the class causes files like :File:Access Air logo.svg with sufficient license template (containing required metadata) to lose this information and end up in :Category:Files with no machine-readable license. As probably most templates with this type are license templates indeed, I think the best solution would be adding a new type (e.g. licenselike) which would have the exact same styling but without the licensetpl CSS class, and then going through all usages and fix the ones that aren’t license templates. (I didn’t create a formal edit request, as I’m not 100% sure this would be the best solution. I’m open to other ideas.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:54, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Images don't always appear on mobile

The left images in these imboxes (and maybe all message boxes) don't always appear on mobile wikipedia. It seems to depend on the size of the image - if it's too wide it just disappears. Look at this page on mobile and you should see the featured example and all the ones in "Other images" dont have any images. No idea what's causing it, though maybe having something like Wikimedia Commons's imboxes where the left images moved to the top in mobile view would be a general improvement? like you can see [https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Cc-by-4.0 here]. (if this would go better on the module page I'll move it there) Ringtail Raider (talk) 23:02, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
