User talk:Gadget850/Archive 2011

Since you seem to be open to making article formatting, 10x or 100x faster, then consider the following "murky" idea:

• Have small templates say use bigger one for author9: The gist of this idea is to use the "80/20 Rule" and reduce the "/core" templates to the 20% size which will handle 80% of all citations or infobox-cities, etc. Then, when someone uses a bizarre, well, rare parameter, such as "gossip_editor=Smith" or "City_mascot_food= pineapple pizza" then have the small, reduced templates say to use the bigger template:
  {{in5|3}}WARNING in Cite_web: Parameter "gossip_editor" not supported, use {CiteX web} instead.
  For each {Cite book}, {Cite news}, have a {CiteX book}, {CiteX news} to handle the huge, gargantuan Xtra rare cases, with the huge {{Citation/coreX}} then processing all 563 cite parameters (as in the current "huge" /core today).

: Naturally, checking for all rare parameters would make each small template become huge like the current templates, so only the most likely rare options would be checked, and the template documentation would warn to use the eXtra-size template for rare parameters. People wouldn't have to beg to allow rare parameters, because most articles would be unaffected, while using the smaller form, and not drag rare "City_mascot_food" into the formatting of every city article. So far, that's the only way I think the "creeping-featurism parameters" can be kept out of most articles. A single template cannot support both mainstream and rare-fringe without carrying the "Rube Goldberg machine" baggage. Currently, we have these "Tuxedo templates" to allow wearing in a black-tie article or in "Peasant". The crisis has been proven because some of the other /core templates have tripled in size during 2010. We no longer have as many template architects watchlisting those major templates to deny bizarre (or rare) parameters. Other templates have kept expanding, although {Citation/core} seems stagnant, so far:  Citation/core used 270 parameters in December 2007, 434 parameters in 2008, and now /core has used 563 parameters in 2009-2010. -Wikid77 (talk) 08:39, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

• Rewriting for 2x smaller results: I have found that combining Template:Cite_book with {Citation/core}, as a single template, can cut the resource usage by 56%, using less than half of the MediaWiki preprocessor resources, as when {Citation/core} is separate. At first, I tried omitting rare parameters, such as surname5 to surname8 or editor-surname3, but restored all the parameters, using only the technical change to combine templates. Even omitting the COinS metadata saved only 700 bytes, whereas combining templates saved 2,000 bytes per {Cite_book} usage. I have repeated this idea at Template_talk:Citation/core for reactions and further discussion. -talk 02:45, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

I am adding a reference with Template:Cite web, and the website's url is http://www.jamestown.org/single/?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=20247&tx_ttnews[backPid]=211. This renders incorrectly, see Gennady Konyakhin. How could this be fixed? Debresser (talk) 13:48, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

You need to percent encode the brackets:

What was the issue about the non-free content with the Truman stamp? Something wrong with the fair use rationale? You didn't say. Gwillhickers (talk) 03:48, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

:You can't use a non-free stamp to simply illustrate the subject. There must be significant content about the stamp itself. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 04:10, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

I was just trying to add a reference to a Dimeadozen page

Lurulu (talk) 18:02, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

:Dimeadozen is not a reliable source, and torrent pages are not stable. Regardless, the concert you listed is not a TT release. It is probably a fan tape that either did not get collected by the project before it was closed or was of poor quality and did not meet leaf standards. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 18:17, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing that. Can't believe I did that. I guess if one looks at and repeats an error enough times it looks OK. North8000 (talk) 13:02, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.

If you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE.

I hope to hear from you soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:11, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Further to your earlier post on the thread I started at WP:citing sources [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Citing_sources#Cite_web_and_cite_news] it would be useful if you could look at my latest comment as I want to try and take forward improved wording for the template. Thanks. Eldumpo (talk) 21:59, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Gadget850. You wrote on Template talk:Cite web [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Cite_web#Documentation here], "I use an external script to cleanup citations and removing extra spaces like this is one of the features."

Could you please tell me which script is this? I would want to clean all the white spaces made by the user who also edited the template itself. It takes a lot of article space and I do not think white spaces are necessary at all. Thank you. Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:50, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, Gadget, what do you think of the question I raised here? (Please answer there rather than here.)

I ask you because you're the only person who both (i) has bothered to respond and (ii) clearly understands the question. If you agree, I'll make the necessary changes; if you disagree, I'll bow to the intrinsic timidity/conservatism of en:WP, whereby misinformation is preferable to change. -- Hoary (talk) 13:31, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

:I have been pondering on this, and it is almost a moot issue. We will eventually change to HTML5, probably fairly soon. It was changed a month or so ago, but so many scripts were broken that it was reverted. I think a note at the top of the page is sufficient for now. And HTML5 uses {{tag|br|open}}. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 13:48, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Wow ... changing to HTML5? But:

1. en:WP will be viewed not by people using browsers created from 2012 to 2014, but by people using browsers created from 2009 to 2011; and the most popular even among the 2011 crop are [http://html5accessibility.com/ pretty useless] at HTML5;
2. HTML5 and not XHTML5?

Hoary (talk) 15:10, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Talkpage - "this template is intended only for talk pages with issues" - why?

There's nothing that says that.

Yes, I did check the documentation.  Chzz  ►  12:29, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

:From {{tl|Talk header}}:

:* "This template should be used only when needed. There is no need to add this template to every talk page. Do not create a talk page just to add this template."

:* "Talk pages that attract frequent or perpetual debate, articles often subject to controversy, and/or recent-and-highly-visible topics are usually appropriate for this template. Calm talk pages do not need this template."

:---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 12:53, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

::Yes...but, the first part of that has no bearing on the appropriateness, in this specific case, of simply replacing the 'spam' with that template.

::We're not creating a page - it exists. I agree that if a talkpage does not exist, then we shouldn't just make one with that heading. However, I do usually make one for BLPs, adding {{tn|blp}} - because I think it is so important to highlight BLP concerns to anyone coming across the talk page.

::As for the remainder...I think that info is somewhat wrong. It says, {{xt|In accordance with Wikipedia:Talk page layout, this template should not be added to otherwise empty talk pages}} - yet the page it links to (the information page) makes no mention of that.

::Maybe the template doc needs updating. But... in this specific case - what do you think we should do, instead? I don't think that the page should be deleted, because there is no necessity - and history of contribs - even 'bad' ones - is useful information. Do you think we should just leave a totally blank page? I think that'd be more confusing. Chzz  ►  17:38, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

:::It really isn't a big deal. I have seen editors mass add this template to talk pages without reading the documentation and that is what I wanted to emphasize. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 17:56, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

::::Yes, agreed; it's no big deal - and I'm quite happy to forget about it; it's just that when you wrote "this template is intended only for talk pages with issues" it sounded like you were disagreeing with the advice given - which, in that specific case, I think was valid. No worries,  Chzz  ►  21:30, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

1. Would this link be a good souce about Alyson Hanngian being of Jewish descent: http://www.jweekly.com/article/full/23122/celebrity-jews/ 2. It says in this article that Josh Keaton has a Caucasian parent and a Peruvian parent and he both the Jewish and Catholic holidays http://nomoreheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Josh_Keaton.

Would it be fair to place Eli_Wallach under the category: American_people_of_Jewish_descent since the article says Wallach came from a Jewish family? 3. I think something needs to added to the Holly_Marie_Combs. It says in at Tv.com on Holly's mother, has worked as an actress and a singer and that her stepfather is a musician. It also says the Holly and her mother lived near the beach in San Diego until Holly was eight. Could that info be added in Holly's article? 4.

The Martyn_Godfrey needs some improvement. Can someone improve it? 6. It says right here that Dorothy_Dandridge is of mixed descent: http://ethnicelebs.com/dorothy-dandridge Should that info be added in? 7. Its says on this website that Halle_berry has some Russian German, and Irish heritage: http://ethnicelebs.com/halle-berry Should that be added in? Thanks!

A tag has been placed on :File:Venturing emblem.svg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:26, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello! Does the page Help:Cite errors/Ref name tests need to exist in mainspace? It is not linked-to from the help page, in fact is only linked to by another user -- not even you -- and because it's effectively appearing as a page full of ref errors, appears in :Category:Pages with broken reference names when it really doesn't need to. It's just a test page, right? Should it not be in a sandbox somewhere instead? - Salamurai (talk) 23:06, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

:: On :Category:Pages with broken reference names, two of the Help pages have broken refs because they are showing examples. I have yet to figure out how Help:Cite errors is appearing on the list.

Hi. I see you seem to watch that article with the refs and it's WWII related and thought you could maybe answer a couple questions. I worked on Yasunori Seizo and compared it to Isoroku Yamamoto. Yamamoto's article has the family name last but Yasunori's has the family name first (see the "danger" ref). I guess we should rename the Yasunori article but I don't know how. Also, I found a Navy photo (also in danger ref) of dead US pilots that could be added to the article or the Bunker Hill's article. How do I upload it? I can figure out how to add it from looking at other articles, but how do you upload it?PumpkinSky (talk) 14:22, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

:::It is code that loads whatever skin you are using; I think it was added in MediaWiki 1.17 a few months back. I think it's preferable because you don't need to change your js files when you change skins, and you don't need to use the skin.js hack. Ucucha 21:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

::::Have to do some testing later as that documentation is skimpy. Looks to me like skin.js applies only to the currently selected skin and common.js applies to all skins. Feel free to revert on that. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 22:08, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

:::::Yes; it's the same as with MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Vector.js etcetera. Ucucha 22:13, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

On your Citation templates subpage you have the statement "CS1 and CS2 both use {{citation/core}} as a meta-template and are variants of APA style."

Am I right that listref allows a manually set name (rather than automatically assigned a, b, ... labels), just as scref used to? In some cases where you've replaced scref by listref, you've replaced a manually assigned label with automatic assignation, which seems to me less clear where the list is long and there are several multiply-used references. Do you have any strong objections to restoring the manual labels within listref? Dsp13 (talk) 09:04, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I see you're deeply into the cite templates and their doc; you're linked from them, have subpages about them. So, I hope you can help with a problem I've encountered.

Some sites use square-brackets in what we should be using as the proper page title; NavWeaps.com, in this case. See the recent edits to USS Texas (1892) and to a lesser degree USS Maine (ACR-1). Both of these pages have cites to pages with titles containing square brackets. For the cite web template itself, using nowiki-tags around part of the title works fine (there seem to be a bunch of pages that need this fixed). For use with template:sfn/template:sfnRef I've had trouble. I'd /like/ the following to work, but it doesn't. I've tried some of the options on the doc page and have gone with substituting paren for the brackets for the moment. Some other editor took one of these the just-drop-the-brackets route. Both are less than satisfactory. Is there a way to get sfn/sfnRef to work properly with embedded pairs of brackets, hopefully without too much ugly code the article ;)

The ship had guns.{{sfn|NavWeaps 6-pdr (2.72 kg) [2.244" (57 mm)] Marks 1 through 13}}

{{cite web

| title = United States of America 6-pdr (2.72 kg) [2.244" (57 mm)] Marks 1 through 13

}}

 —Portuguese Man o' War 23:34, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

You are making this complicated. Normally you would use author-date, but there if there is no author, use work-date. Since we have multiple uses of the same year, add an alpha suffix:

{{sfn|NavWeaps|2008a}}

{{reflist|close=1}}

{{cite web

| title = United States of America 12"/35 (30.5 cm) Mark 1 and Mark 2

| date = 19 September 2008

| publisher = NavWeaps.com

| url = http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_12-35_mk1.htm

| accessdate = 2011-10-02

| ref = {{sfnRef|NavWeaps|2008a}}

}}

However, there is an author: Tony DiGiulian is listed on the home page. So we would have:

{{sfn|DiGiulian|2008a}}

{{reflist|close=1}}

{{cite web |last=DiGiulian |first=Tony

| title = United States of America 12"/35 (30.5 cm) Mark 1 and Mark 2

| date = 19 September 2008a

| work= NavWeaps

| url = http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_12-35_mk1.htm

| accessdate = 2011-10-02

| ref = {{sfnRef|DiGiulian|2008a}}

}}

If you look at the markup, you will see that I used {{para|work}}, since the website is like a book, and pages are chapters. I also dropped the .com, as the home page title isn't using it. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 01:09, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

: Thanks. Sturmvogel 66 did not want NavWeaps.com as the work due to it getting italicised; it's on my talk, and I reverted that back. I follow the a,b,c... approach but don't believe a year is always available or know if DiGiulian is the author of everything on that site. I've left Sturmvogel a note asking for input. I still hope the square brackets can be made to work, but don't want to be making the wiki-text ugly.

Hi Gadget850. I just wanted to let you know that I have reverted your recent change to Template:Cite journal because it appears to be causing the references to be displayed incorrectly.

Thanks for the reference to the language stats. I suggest making it more clear that this page states the opinion of one user. "FAQ" sounds authoritative and new users may not know the significance of userspace. As an editor I sometimes have to navigate a Wikipedia in a language I don't know, for example to investigate cross-language issues or help desk posts. In such cases it can be very helpful to select English interface in that language. Happy‑melon made a similar point at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 93#Language Select.

As discussed at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#“Templates used on this page” list, I think the important difference between en and en-gb at the English Wikipedia is that en-gb messages are rarely created or edited (the MediaWiki default may be used in all but a handful [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=intitle%3A%22en-gb%22&fulltext=Search&ns8=1&redirs=1&profile=advanced] of cases), so they can become obsolete when en messages are modified.

Regarding Template:Myprefs, the anchor names for the tabs were changed in MediaWiki 1.18. The numbers no longer work but the template should probably continue to allow them. Maybe it should also allow the displayed tab name as parameter so template users can copy-paste the tab from their preferences. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:28, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

:A suggestion for this page: the language setting also affects other aspects of the display. Consider the tab found on discussion pages which starts a new thread. The title of this tab varies by skin (as seen with other tabs like "watch") but also varies by language setting:

Hi Gadget; other than the doc page for {{tlx|cite xxx}}, where is it laid down that {{tlx|citation}} can't be mixed with {{tlx|cite book}}/{{tlx|cite journal}}/{{tlx|cite web}}/etc.? See User talk:Citation bot#An edit by this bot on Causality. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:01, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

:I have simply codified a practice that has been ongoing. You will find that this comes up in FAC fairly often— I would have to dig around a bit. Here are examples of a citation using {{tl|citation}} and {{tl|cite book}}:

• {{citation |last=Harwood |first=William B |title=Raise Heaven and Earth |publisher=Simon & Schuster |year=1993 |isbn= 0-67-174998-6}}
• {{cite book |last=Harwood |first=William B |title=Raise Heaven and Earth |publisher=Simon & Schuster |year=1993 |isbn= 0-67-174998-6}}

The only difference is in punctuation. Yes, you can change the punctuation, but in practice no one does. Other than the ref anchor, there is no difference in output. Since both sets of templates exist and do the same thing there is no reason to choose one over the other except for consistency within an article, per WP:CITEVAR. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 16:29, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on :Template:Showuser requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it must be substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes ({{substituted}}).

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Bulwersator (talk) 15:56, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

As a admin who monitors RMs, I see where you wieghed in on this RM, but your position was unclear. Do you oppose the move and prefer a merge discussion or do you support the move with a subsequent merge discussion? Please clarify at the RM. Thanks --Mike Cline (talk) 16:58, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Gadget850. I like Sfn and SfnRef. But (? a recent changes to the template) the template now shows red error message which hide the article's content. The SfnRef template also fails to understand the {{tl|refbegin}} + {{tl|refend}} combination. Please give this quickly. You see an example at User:Philcha/Sandbox/MOO 2 - 3. --Philcha (talk) 23:02, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

:No problems with the templates, but in the markup you are using. Two templates were closed with a single }. You really need to read the {{tl|SfnRef}} documentation— I don't understand what you are trying to do with it. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 23:27, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

::This is a duplicate of a thread raised at Template talk:Sfn#Sfn and SfnRef - red error message and I think that per WP:MULTI, discussion should be in one place only. --Redrose64 (talk) 00:04, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

:::Gadget850, thanks for [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Philcha/Sandbox/MOO_2_-_3&curid=33768134&action=history fixingg some of my error]. I think I can fix the other, is more appear to inconsistencies in naming citation. --Philcha (talk) 04:44, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Had to undo your sandboxing for an active editprotected request; the editor stuff you were working on is of course still there in the history. Your last changes were 2 days ago, so I didn't think you'd mind, but wanted to let you know in case you didn't noticed and started editing it again. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 21:09, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

:No problem, still trying to work through some coding. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 21:24, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
