On a number of occasions now I've noticed you've made a whole series of benificial but tedious improvements to various currency articles.

For your continued work on templates, particularly your dedication to templates that are insanely complicated, such as Template:Infobox country.

Just wanted to say a massive thanks for your work on the Election results template. Not only is it a big help for getting some consistency in presentation, but the automatic totalling and percentage calculation has helped identify several errors in the tables (both from editors mistranscribing numbers from sources, and mistakes in the sources themselves) by comparing the automatically-calculated totals/percentages with those given in the original tables/sources. This will be a big help in maintaining accuracy! Number 5 7 22:32, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Module:Location map/data/Montenegro

Hi,

You seams to be the author of Module:Location map/data/Montenegro. Did you maybe also made the maps? They don't seams to have the same limits. Argo Navis (talk) 13:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Argo Navis, although it looks like I am the author, all I did was migrate it from the old Template system to the new Module system. you can see the old template history in the history for the documentation page. I agree that it looks like the relief map doesn't have the same edges as the non-relief map. it looks like the problem started with this edit where the relief map was changed by Obersachse?

Help with Template:Summer Olympics by year category navigation

Can you fix Template:Summer Olympics by year category navigation? Because it does not display correctly on recent Olympic basketball categories. For example, Category:2004 Basketball Olympic squad templates (1936–2004) and Category:2008 Summer Olympics basketball squad navigational boxes (2008–2024) have some kind of cutoff. I thought of asking this template's creator for help, but she is blocked indefinitely. Therefore, you are quite familiar with templates so help would be appreciated. – sbaio 13:32, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

sbaio, it looks like the problem is that the name pattern changed between 2004 and 2008. the easiest solution is to move Category:2004 Basketball Olympic squad templates and earlier to Category:2004 Basketball Olympic squad navigational boxes which would still be an accurate category name. harder would be to have the template automatically check for two names. Frietjes (talk) 15:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explanation. I have another question regarding templates in the mentioned categories. Is there a way to summon some kind of bot that would make a mass deletion request for those templates. I have already nominated a bunch of such templates at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 November 18#Basketball national team roster navboxes. However, there are about 156 more such templates that should be deleted. I also thought about WP:SPEEDY, but I am not sure which criteria would fit it. – sbaio 16:03, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

you can make a WP:BOTREQ for tagging a large number of templates for deletion. Frietjes (talk) 16:13, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:T

@Frietjes You added the T template to some redlinks in my sandbox. I don't mind at all, but I was just wondering what the purpose of this was, were the redlinks in the sandbox causing a problem I am unaware of? Demt1298 (talk) 13:50, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Demt1298, thank you for asking! there are a couple database reports that are generated that keep track of transclusions of missing templates (here and here). by prefixing the missing templates with {{t}} it changes the transclusion to a link and removes it from the clean up list. thank you! Frietjes (talk) 15:13, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Frietjes Good to know, so should I just use it while they are in the sandbox, or should I use it for a new article I have written and am awaiting for the linked article to be written in the future? I do quit a bit of WikiProject Football and often am awaiting another article I know will be written to be completed. Demt1298 (talk) 15:45, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Demt1298, for articles, we usually just comment it out until the template is created. thank you. Frietjes (talk) 16:23, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
