User talk:Patrick

Archives Sep 2003 - July 2007

Wow, that's one big user talk page that probably needs archiving… Anyway, please take a look at Help talk:Sorting#Describe standard. The Help:Sorting page right now is not very helpful for users dealing with "standard" sortable tables (look at en:Help:Sorting by the way), and it doesn't even help admins who are trying to decide if modified version is worth installing. The descriptions for "standard" and modified versions really really have to be separated ∴ Alex Smotrov 04:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

The idea was that for some problems it is easier to fix them than to find and explain workarounds. If an admin knows of sorting problems on their wiki and sees that the examples on Meta demonstrate a solution, then that may help them decide that the modified version is worth installing. See also Help_talk:Sorting#Describe_standard.--Patrick (talk) 11:58, 16 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello Patrick, I have a question. Regarding the magic words page, one of them is {{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}, which gives the site's interface language. Is there any way to change a page's language, I believe under $wgLanguageCode, so you can get different results for that magic word? - Keta 16:22, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I just saw one thing: I followed a link to Kosovo from the basque Wikipedia, and the use of ...Kosovo?uselang=eu changes the value of wgUserLanguage to eu. Is there anything like this, but to change the wgContentLanguage? - Keta 18:09, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Now that I think, is there any magic word to get wgUserLanguage, just like {{CONTENTLANGUAGE}} does with wgContentLanguage? Sorry about so many questions, but I need some help with all this. - Keta 18:12, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Correct, {{CONTENTLANGUAGE}} takes the $wgContentLanguage and produces a result. If $wgContentLanguage=en, the {{CONTENTLANGUAGE}} magic word will produce "English". The $wgContentLanguage parameter is set in Localsettings.php, and requires a developers attention to change. There's no set variable in Localsettings.php for a user's language, because it is set in the interface, and is for a specific user. It would produce a different result for everyone, and therefore there is no magic word for that variable. To change the main interface language for $wgContentLanguage, you'll need to open a ticket at http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org. Thunderhead 18:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot for your answer. So, the more plausible solutions are, I think, having a magic word in the form of {{USERLANGUAGE}} or so, and having some tool to change the value of wgContentLanguage. I don't understand, though, what is the problem of having a magic word to get the value of wgUserLanguage, since even if it is user-specific, it can also be changed for all using ?uselang=xx at the URL. And, maybe the desired effect could be to have a distinct looking-page for users using different languages (which is more or less my purpose). And, the other thing, how can I do to request a ?uselang=xx-like feature to change the value of wgContentLanguage? - Keta 19:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Template:Xpd seems to be broken. In the examples form the documentation page, the result is always "{{{5}}}". This also affects pages using the template, such as Help:Calculation#Operators.

Hello Patrick, I have seen that you have made some edits to the User contributions page so i thought i might ask you a question about this. On wikipedia under the exact same heading here there is no mention that N stands for a new page has been created. Its states it on the wikimedia page but not at the encyclopedia so i was wondering whether you can add this. I know its pretty much common sense but i thought if your able to add it this would make it easy for people who dont know what it stands for. At the moment there is a section under Also Shown that states the creation of a new page except the bold N is not there. This would be the obvious place to add it. Can you help me out? It would be easy if you reply here. Thanks Roadrunnerz45 09:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hey there, I was browsing around looking for an answer to my #time parser function problem, and I noticed you had made some relevant edits in the past. I outlined my problem here having to do with 2 digit year returns. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them, but if you don't know the answer that is cool; I just thought I would ask.

I wanted to ask if you could help me out. I would like to see Template:Mws modified so that "pages" is a new, sortable column, and then I will go into Sites_using_Semantic_MediaWiki to add current page number counts to each wiki listed there. This way, readers will be able to sort this table of wikis by number of pages, which I feel is a much more useful way to organize the data, rather than SMW version number, which hardly any layman would care about. If you'd like to think about another variable, I'm happy to oblige, as long as the parameters are fairly easy to find and update... e.g., Alexa ranking, total page views, etc. (I tried to alter the template myself, but upon "previewing" my various attempts, I was clearly just botching the code, so I didn't hit Save page.) -- Thekohser 16:20, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I added the header and adapted the template, nr. of pages can be given now as the 4th parameter.--Patrick (talk) 23:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Well, I wrote you this because I thought that maybe you can help me with this (due your page creation long ago), if not, please lead me to someone who can (if you know, and you are able to). The problem is that nested collapsible tables (two or more) have an error while collapsing/uncollapsing (something that doesn´t happen on the english wikipedia). With the parameter "class="collapsible collapsed"", the content of a table becomes hidden, but if one of the cells of that table contains another table with the same parameter (a second table also with hidden content), the hidden secondary content is forcefully shown, even when the collapse caption indicates it as hidden. Here´s an example (note that a table within another generates this error; the sub-hidden content is no longer hidden and you have to click several times on the collapse caption to manually collapse it!):

I wish to know if you can help me telling me how to fix this (maybe with some other parameter or implementing it to meta-wiki directly).

Hiya!

I've noticed you putting a lot of time and work into these various templates and they all seem quite useful.

I'm curious if you've considered adding some sort of categorization to these templates? I looked over a bit of your work and was considering doing it, but... well, frankly, I don't know how I'd start, other than just sticking them in one big "Category:Templates that Kylu isn't bright enough to figure out how to categorize" category. Is that redundant?

Anyway, good work! :) Kylu 13:28, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. Yes, I sometimes forget to put a template in a category. I just fixed it for the two I am working on now.--Patrick (talk) 13:42, 9 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Patrick, I've made a template to convert English numerals into another language. This will help to translate numbers automatically. Like if you type {{CD|45687|bengali}} it will show ৪৫৬৮৭ in Bengali. When I created this on my user page, it was okay. But now on template namespace, it's not. I don't know what's the problem and what to do with it. Can you fix that for me please? Here are the templates.

• {{ConvertDigit}}
• {{ConvertDigit/formatnum}}
• {{CD}}

You can check all the outputs on my test page. Thanks in advance. If you need me, leave a note on my talk page, or feel free to poke me on IRC. — Tanvir • 06:26, 14 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello Patrick. May I know why you restored Template:List of template calls end ? Thanks by advance. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 12:46, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

It was a subtemplate of Template:List of template calls, but since it is an old method for repetition that would require a revision anyway (subtemplates that are redirects would have to be changed into copies of the target, due to a software change), the whole template is not worth keeping, I deleted (to start with) this subtemplate again.--Patrick (talk) 13:01, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

That's okay. When I saw you restoring this article, I have thought a moment that my deletions were crap and I have stop to do it before being sure that's not the case. I can now continue my work. Thanks :) -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 13:13, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

To keep in the pages of wiki Administrator's personnel thesis? at http://sd.wikipedia.org ? Other problem is We call Computer as same in English, but admin forcibly used his word Ganpukar of Computer. I have proof that thousands of published books called it Computer not Ganpukar. If some one oppose him he started abusive language. That is the reason sd.wikipedia.org never got attraction to Sindhi community. Plz check record there. Other things are he locked CSS due to that on the same site there are lot of font styles appeared there. He is not able to set commonCSS or Monocss. We are in trouble to work in our local Sindhi language. I don't know where to say for this problem. Record history says all the situation there. I appeal plz warn him to follow en.wikipedia.org rules, other wise he will continue use his personnel details and personnel promoted articles there.

Hello Patrick, I am working on template expansion for the experimental JavaScript parser to support the visual editor project. We have opted for a token-based approach, where a tokenizer scans the text and feeds tokens to later stages. Template expansion is supposed to happen at the token level, which removes support for some character-level template tricks that were possible so far. I am now trying to get a feel if there are any commonly-used template uses we have missed.

We plan to support the table start / row / end template and lists where items are coming from templates. All the things listed in Help:Advanced_templates should also be supported. Problematic however are templates where templates contain only a part of what we identify as a token that is not plain text. An example would be something like {{echo|echo=[}}{{echo|echo=[}}Test]] expanding to Test. In the token-based parser, this won't produce a link.

Do you have a feeling for how common something like this is? Any examples of such a case would be really helpful.

Thanks for you help!

GWicke 00:09, 24 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

It would be useful if templates could still produce any parts of wikitable syntax. See for example Help:Table#Producing table syntax using templates and/or parser functions. Some templates produce the lines of wikitext for a table row, with or without a newline at the end, and in some cases the row template produces wikitext starting with "-" (the last part of the wikitext line "|-" for table code) and ending with "|" (the first part of the wikitext line "|-"). These alternatives have to do with allowing conditional rows, avoiding an excess newline if the condition is false, and either applying or avoiding a trick to make a template produce a newline at the end.--Patrick (talk) 12:46, 24 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Supporting arbitrary character-wise template composition for tables is quite hard, but it is certainly possible to support some common uses with special tokenizer productions. The example in Help:Table#Producing table syntax using templates and/or parser functions should be doable by introducing a tokenizer production for |- and similar constructs. I fear that row templates starting with '-' and ending with '|' are harder to support, as the syntax is less unique and thus the risk of false positives in non-table contexts would be higher.

Do you have an estimate on the relative popularity of the two approaches? Would it be possible to convert the latter approach to the first one in all cases?

Thanks again for your help! GWicke 09:08, 27 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

I think that usually, in the case of complications with wikitable syntax, people fall back on HTML syntax, e.g. in w:Template:Infobox/row. However, for uniformity it would be preferable if wikitable syntax could always be used. As far as I know the row templates starting with '-' are not used very often, and also it is more natural to have a row template producing the full lines of syntax corresponding to a table row rather than also parts of lines, so it would be more important to keep allowing template use like in the example. It would be even better if there would be a more elegant way of allowing the "then" and "else" part of a conditional construct to end with a newline (or space), compared to the trick used in e.g. Template:Ifnotempty.--Patrick (talk) 23:08, 27 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

HTML syntax is fortunately unproblematic for the tokenizer as long as each tag is completely in a single source location. I have linked our conversation from mw:Future/Parser_test_cases#Template_and_parser_function_edge_cases and am now taking a first stab at an implementation. That location would be a good place to collect additional edge cases that might still come up.

Yes, but note that e.g. Help:Variable/ja uses Template:H:f Help/ja, but Help:Alphabetic order/ja uses Template:H:f Help, so updating Template:H:f Help/ja is only effective in the first case.

Hi. I see that Template talk:Table demo is linked from en:Help:Table#Positioning.

Text alignment within tables is covered fairly well now in en:Help:Table.

Floating or centering whole tables is covered at en:Help:Table#Floating table and the following section.

Is there anything missing? I want to delink from Template talk:Table demo since it is using non-HTML5 compliant code.

Please ping me if you reply, since I rarely check my Meta watchlist.

Also, I can't figure out why the last few talk sections here have blue text. :)

I see black text in the preview. So the blue text code must be in a previous talk section.

I am pretty sure it is the code in the signature of User:Avocato that is the problem. In this section: #Editor @ ar.wiki. --Timeshifter (talk) 13:14, 12 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
