User:Jonesey95/Tools#How to see CITEREF

e.g. Vector, Timeless, Monobook

?useskin=vector-2022
?useskin=vector
?useskin=timeless
?safemode=1
?dtenable=1  (enable beta Discussion Tools)
?useparsoid=1 (use Parsoid to render)
?useparsoid=0 (force old renderer)
?vectornightmode=1  (force night mode in Vector, scheduled to work in May 2024)
?minervanightmode=1&useskin=minerva  (force night mode)

Report Parsoid problems at :mw:Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues.

To be used sparingly, but it might be useful for templates that do not have a ton of usage: if you want to speed up the filling process, (1) install "User:Frietjes/masspurge.js" (done in vector.js) and (2) go to Special:MassPurge and (3) put "Template:Infobox royalty" (or the template you want to purge) in the top box and (4) press the top purge button. if it works, the bottom box will fill up with the list of all the transclusions and it will start purging each one.

You can also paste a list of articles in the bottom box instead of putting a template in the top box.

This works will purge one article every four or five seconds.

To type a pipe character within a template or elsewhere, use this template: {{!}}

See Help:Template#Pipe.

The syntax for the article's Talk page template is:

{{GOCE |user={{subst:REVISIONUSER}} |date={{subst:date}} |small= }}

It looks like this:

{{WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors|user=Jonesey95|date=April 12, 2013|category=no}}

The syntax for the requester's Talk page template is:

{{GOCEtb

| article = foobar
| sign = message here. ~~~~
}}

It looks like this:

{{GOCEtb

| article = foobar

| sign = message here. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:41, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

}}

{{Tl|Clarify|reason=this is hover text}} Looks like this:{{Clarify|reason=this is hover text}}

Use {{Tl|Dead link}} or {{Tl|dl}} when you find a dead link to a website within a paragraph or a reference citation. Doing so will place a note by the URL and add the article to one of the :Category:Articles with dead external links categories.

Append this template directly after the link or template, leaving the original link intact. Not doing so will prevent detection from automated tools. If the citation contains multiple URLs (e.g. chapterurl and url) in a template, and only one is broken, you can use to explain which one is broken.

If the article uses clickable footnotes, then this tag should be placed just before the </ref> that contains the dead link. The notice will then correctly appear in the reference section (instead of in the body of the text, which is not recommended).

Examples of the Convert template:

• {{convert|32|F|C}} results in {{convert|32|F|C}}
• {{convert|32|ft|m}} results in {{convert|32|ft|m}}
• {{convert|32|PD/sqmi|PD/sqkm}} results in {{convert|32|PD/sqmi|PD/sqkm}}
• {{convert|60|and|170|kg|lb}} results in {{convert|60|and|170|kg|lb}}

I can't believe that searching for Wookieelink in Wikipedia shows zero results.

To exclude a Template documentation article from a subcategory of {{cl|Articles with incorrect citation syntax}} because it is a demonstration of how a template can generate an error, insert

|no-tracking=yes

If it's a custom cite template, the following needs to be included in the template code, in the {{tl|cite web}} (or other cite template) code:

|no-tracking={{{no-tracking|}}}

After the above is added, the template documentation may need a null edit, after which the template needs one more null edit for it to be removed from the error category (or you can wait for the job queue to get around to it, if you're the patient type).

Special:WantedTemplates

Make a universal age template that handles births, deaths, and ages gracefully, even when some pieces are unknown. The current mishmash of templates is a giant mess. The first step would be reading the documentation and talk pages for the existing templates to create a spec for what a universal template could do. It would probably have to be written in Lua. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:13, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Tricks copied from VPT:

Twice in the last few days, you have made multiple edits to live templates that are transcluded in many pages, introducing breaking changes. I recently reverted erroneous edits at {{tl|Flaglist}}, which happened after you broke {{tl|UN population}}. For any but the simplest of edits, please make your edits to the template's sandbox, then use the template's testcases page to ensure that you have not broken anything, then explain your changes on the template's talk page. Feel free to ping me from a template talk page if you would like feedback on your proposed edits to a template sandbox. If there are no objections to your proposed changes, it is then appropriate to copy the sandbox code to the live template. Thanks.

if you append a tilde to any search in the top-right box, it will force a search result page, regardless if a page exists matching your search string or not. This is actually documented somewhere, and not some kind of klugey thing that might go away next version. Try Template:Ambox~ or similar.
