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.

From my talk page back in september.

Bugger bugger bugger, I saw a map in the transport museum in budapest we went the other week and it had the lat and long but in pretty much a mercator projection. My missus was more interested with the toy trains so I didn't get a chance to take the measures off it. If it's wrong (as it is) it should be deleted but I am still trying to get the measures right. The thing is it's specifically Kingdom of Hungary, but the more atlases (atli? :) I look at the more different lats and longs I get. And anything one does on Hungarian articles is rather contentious, so it is probably really better deleted. Because people whose great grandfathers were part of the Kingdom of Hungary will say no that's Croatia or Slovakia or Slovenia or Yugoslavia or Jugoslavia or The People's Republic of East Kebab. Since Hungarian politics is very contentious and goes on racist grounds in far more than would be allowed in where I come from, this is better off deleted. (Hint: say Treaty of Trianon to a Hungarian and await results.) Si Trew (talk) 09:36, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I never did get round to this. I took the coords off of file at right, which is very high quality but seems to have an odd idea of where 0 longitude is (it suggests it is east of Paris, but that didn't seem to work). As you suggested, I tried to take well-known points at the edges of the map: Fiume, for example, at south-west. I took very good readings after printing out this map at A0 size and using ruler and compass, my trig is quite good, but I could never get it to fit. Si Trew (talk) 06:02, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

.Oh, Template:Location_map_Kingdom_of_Hungary/test might help you. You see, Fiume's in the right place but Budapest is a bit too far left and the rest are well out. Si Trew (talk) 06:09, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That map uses the Paris meridian. It's not a Mercator projection, the lines of latitude aren't quite parallel. Maproom (talk) 20:09, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maproom, thanks for the tip. I have written code for generating coefficients for nonlinear projections if I know the functional form. but, the code requires at least as many reference points as there are coefficients. basically a nonlinear least-squares algorithm. the problem here is that other than the reference markings on the side of the map, it's tough to get reference points in the middle. Frietjes (talk) 21:18, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Si Trew, should we just give up on Template:Location map Kingdom of Hungary and have it deleted? Frietjes (talk) 21:20, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How many do you need in the middle? You get get a reference point near each corner by specifying where the nearest line of (Paris) longitude would cross the nearest line of latitude, and use towns like Szolnok (which Google Earth says is 47°10'N 20°11'E Greenwich) in the middle. Maproom (talk) 21:37, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maproom, now that I look at it again, I think we have enough with the two interior intersection points and the points along the edges. the original question was about the image in Template:Location map Kingdom of Hungary which is less clear. for File:Hungary-ethnic_groups.jpg, I think we can make a working location map. thank you again. Frietjes (talk) 21:42, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just a thought, maybe not very coherent at this time of night. Using an ethnographic map as a location map may, as Si Trew pointed out, be contentious. Will it help if instead I upload to Commons this map? It uses a Ferro meridian, which is no worse than Paris, and shows enough towns such as Szolnok for central reference points. Maproom (talk) 22:02, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maproom, that may help. let's see what Si Trew says. my main focus is turning map images into working location maps. I don't really have a strong feeling about the particular map image, so long as it is created with a well-defined projection. Frietjes (talk) 22:06, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just asking out of curiosity – how do you "turn a map image into a location map"? Do you warp it into the Mercator projection that the template requires? Or do you supply the template with a transform function? Maproom (talk) 07:24, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maproom, supply the transformation function. see, for example, module:Location map/data/Canada. if I know the functional form and a sufficient number of reference points, I can numerically solve for the coefficients. Frietjes (talk) 12:40, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. It's reassuring to see that things are done in such a sensible and comprehensible way. Incidentally – if you ever find a map image at http://maproom.org/ that you could use in Wikipedia, please let me know and I'll put it on Commons. Maproom (talk) 09:46, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pinging me in on this. I know it was a long time ago. User:Maproom, yes I did guess it was the Paris Meridian all that time ago, but that didn't seem quite to fit either. Since then I took something and with Inkscape made a four-colour map (five if you include Lake Balaton as a fifth colour, blue, but could have been made a fourth colour as those that surround it are all in three other colours, it is just more pleasant to have it in blue but not mathematically necessary) and split out all the layers and borders and so on into separate layers on the SVG. I seem to recall I called it Template:Location Map Hungary2 or something – and I emphasise this is not the Kingdom of Hungary but the modern-day Hungary. All I had left to do was get the text labelling right. Searching for "a new look for an old map" was something roughly want some commenter said, may well have been User:Frietjes here but may not have been (a long time ago, just going from memory: and those exact words are what was printed on the front of the first H C Beck fold-up London Underground Diagram (often called "Map"; Beck himself never called it a map: I have good references for this from publications of the London Transport Museum in woodware) of 1933, so I am probably confusing those words with the same sentiment expressed. This is all such a long time ago, I give as hints for those who can search better than I.

On the plus side, by pure coincidence (these are not common around here in Budapest) my local pub has a nice 1898ish German (I think) map of Austria-Hungary; certainly pre-Treaty of Trianon. This is a five or six colour map and I am pretty sure it is in German but I am going from memory, I don't think it's in Hungarian. It would be about 40 by 25 inches (1,020 mm × 640 mm) and I daresay somehow I could get it scanned in, in one of the largescale printers in the town (who I happen to be also on good terms with, for various other reasons) or just take four A3 scans and stitch them with photoshop, assuming that my scanner doesn't distort too much. I am on good terms with the landlord as I have given him my British registration plates and various other British pub memorablia, it is that kind of pub, very much a "local", so I can ask to borrow the map (it's framed) or just go in on a quiet afternoon with a straightedge etc and try to get some measures off that. I think it is not the same as the image is here, though quite similar. As a start shall I get the maker etc, would that help at all, before I do the trig etc off it? I have a very good straightedge and fifty quids worth of setsquare adjustable protractor that I use for technical drawing on my A0 drawing board, it's about 25 inches (640 mm) long on its hypotenuese, which should be enough to measure angles and distances with some kinda veracity, I am not sure of the projection without looking again. Is it worth me taking a look and reporting back, probably will be about UTC+2 Friday tomorrow, else Monday? If you give me some nice trig points "in the middle" I will do my best to give you the readings off of them. These won't be 100% accuracy but will be within a second of arc or two through the distortion of the glass in the frame, I would imagine. Si Trew (talk) 16:05, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I understand if it is WP:COPYVIO etc but if I check the maker first, it may very well turn out not to be because of the date and also various other "things that have happened since", could well be PD or fair use. I think I check the maker first, that is clear enough in top right corner but don't remember offhand. Would that be of any use, at least to confirm or deny if it's the same as this one? It reminded me of this one, when I first saw it, but I think it is different but of about the same time. Si Trew (talk) 16:40, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File:Hungary_location_map.svg is the one I made the four-colour svg version of. It just needs tidying on the text labels layer if I remember right, I can't remember its name. The computer it was on is long gone. File:Hungary location map2.svg? Something like that. We have File:Hungary location map-2.jpg on Commons, but that's not it, cos it's not four-colour and has labels in Cyrillic, is a jpg not an svg. Perhaps unfortunately it got deleted as unused. I'd need to ask an admin to dredge from about 2009 onwards. Users working on it would have been mostly me and perhaps occasionally the missus, no longer editing at Wikipedia for many a year due to very harsh and undeserved comments after excellent translations of English articles about the Tudors into HU:WP (something she is an expert in, more than I know and I'm bloody English): Her username was/is User:Monkap. Si Trew (talk) 16:51, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, the map you included wrongfooted me, this is exactly the map that is nominated (duh!) I was looking at the map you included on the right. No, don't give up on it, I'll try to fix it. It is nearly OK, all the coords and borders and counties etc are done on separate labels and I think it is much better than the boring brown map transcluded via {{Infobox Hungarian settlement}}. We just need to fix the edges and fix the text-label layer for some reason the font doesn't scale properly, I never did work out why, I shall try again. One reason to separate into different layers in a good GIS fashion is so that with a flick of the wrist one can turn off all the labels, turn off e.g. the county borders, make all the counties brown and just fill one particular county in a different colour (for Hungarian county articles) etc etc etc. I hand-edited the XML for the SVG to make it all nice, it's much much nicer than its predecessor for putting into a GIS etc because each county edge and county border and county name etc is labeleed in a very consistent fashion. The underlying SVG is File:Kingdom_of_Hungary_counties-2.svg. The polygons for the borders go actually in a kinda "cogwheel" order so that some going anticlockwise have their boundaries against the others going clockwise, rather in a toothed gearwheel manner, but that was just my pedantry; each county actually has its own borders as it did on the original, but on the original the borders for e.g Budapest to Pest County were a bit different from the borders of Pest County to Budapest, i.e. there was a gap or overlap, which now there is not in "my" version, they have all the coordinates bang on, as I did them all in hand in the XML not with some "snap it roughly to where it looks right" tool. All the bordering points have the same coords but the opposite directions (clockwise or widdershins) which helps the SVG polygon fill get it right without overlap or gap.

I think we should keep it and try to fix the labels and the "fix" coordinates for it. I suppose this was a labour of love but I think it does make it better than what is used in the infobox, it scales except for the text labels and the old one has errors in the border coords that leave gaps or overlaps, it just doesn't seem so at the scale used in infoboxes, as the rendering of the borders and the pushpins for the places are far larger than the errors, at even a large-screen resolution scale. If you blow it up and print it onto A0 (paper size) is is noticeable. Si Trew (talk) 17:05, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The text labels are fine on my I think 1972 across screen in full view. When I made this I think I had a 1024x768 screen. It's when the labels are all squished they don't scale down properly, and get all scrunched up, I have never quite worked out why. There is a style that governs it, and I tried all sorts of things but none worked. Si Trew (talk) 21:04, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What was going on and what did you do on 2015 Damallsvenskan? I do not recall that the older revisions were such a mess with the league table and broken (?) templates.

And why did you remove the {{Football in Sweden}} template on all articles?

Would be nice if you left a little edit summary ;) Thank you for your hard work. --Mango från yttre rymden (talk) 13:29, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• User:Mango från yttre rymden the Template:2015 Damallsvenskan table was replaced with Module:Sports table per this discussion (and prior discussions) and the Template:Fb r templates were replaced by Module:Sports results per this discussion. the {{Football in Sweden}} template is supposed follow WP:BIDIRECTIONAL, which means that all the pages that transclude the navbox should have a link in the navbox, and all pages linked in the navbox should transclude the navbox. there was also some discussion about this at WT:FOOTY at one point in time. you can check this bidirectionality using this search which currently shows quite a few articles which could be linked in the navbox, or which should not be transcluding the navbox. Frietjes (talk) 16:21, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply! I see. I'm not very initiated in the inner workings and developments of Wikipedia's technicalities, but from what I can gather, in layman's terms, an old sports table system was replaced with a new one. And when the old templates were deleted, the table vanished from the article and left lots of dead code in it.

You, on the other hand, seem very initiated in the matter, and as you also touched on 2020 Damallsvenskan I will take the opportunity to explain myself. I tried to combine all elements of a WDL table into one, using sports rbr table (I don't know how to link to it or even find it anymore), but it clearly isn't designed for that, so I had to haxx it together. I thought we could try that and see what people think, and if people are positive, some(one) could write some proper code for it. I forgot to mention it in the edit summary.

Why did you change the "style" parameter on the standings table from football to WDL? Is that what it's called now? It's a standings table, not a WDL table, very unintuitive and confusing.

I have a large draft on another computer with lots of pre-season info going into the overview section. New dates have recently been set. It will start at the end of June, so I will try to get it up by then. --Mango från yttre rymden (talk) 23:50, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mango från yttre rymden, the style template is Module:Sports table/WDL where WDL = "win draw loss" since not all football seasons have draws. there is also Module:Sports table/WL for football seasons without draws. if there is a problem with Module:Sports rbr table, let me know and I can work on it, but so far it seems to be working for 99.9% of all football articles which have round-by-round results tables. Frietjes (talk) 22:32, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see now about the style parameter.

I was using this example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Sports_rbr_table#Example_3:_Team_combined_table but with all teams in the division in one single table, not just one team with the team name put in the table title like the example shows. The module clearly isn't really made for what I was doing in 2020 Damallsvenskan. It works, but I kinda had to duct tape it together with lots of label rows with a new number for each row, making it difficult to keep track of what value is for what team. Would be much easier if all values regarding one team had the same number. Like "Ground1" and "Position1" perhaps. Do you see what I'm going for? Could it be modified into what I would like to have it, or something like it? If you are a coder I'm sure you can come up with a good solution, but I'm not sure I have made myself apprehensible. The whole concept is quite ambitious from a user and article standpoint, but I thought it could be tried at least. Or do you think it's just stupid perhaps? --Mango från yttre rymden (talk) 14:28, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

we were working on something related here, where one could put the position/ground/result in one table and then select which to show. here, it sounds like you want to have all three show at the same time for all teams? I had stopped working on it because I thought no one was seriously interested. but, I could work on it some more if you are interested. Frietjes (talk) 14:34, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"here, it sounds like you want to have all three show at the same time for all teams?" Exactly. It's just an idea on my end, I don't know if there's any interest. I was thinking that I would do it on 2020 Damallsvenskan either way, as a proof on concept, and get peoples opinion, and if people liked it, it could be pitched to someone working on that stuff (like you? :) ) to implement functions for it in the module properly. I could start with your opinion. Since you've already thought about it and perhaps worked a little bit on it, then I guess I'm not the only one thinking along those lines ;) The thing you discussed in "Consistent data" looks really cool, but that is more about logistics, having one template on multiple articles and thus lessen editing burden, as I understood it. --Mango från yttre rymden (talk) 20:20, 26 June 2020 (UTC) I also edited my previous message to make it more clear.[reply]

Hi @Frietjes. Is this category you created still needed: Category:Biography template using bare URL in website parameter? I do not quite follow or understand all of the discussion in the {{Infobox writer}} talk page archives at [39] where this category was first discussed. If you think there is still a need for the category (and the code in {{Infobox writer}} that populates it), I am wondering if we could add a "preview" warning so that editors will get a warning in "Show preview" mode. As it stands now, there is no message to the editor indicating any problem with a bare URL, but the page is dropped into the tracking category. Yes, the wikignomes (myself included) are monitoring that category along with many others and will "fix" the problems as they arise, but I think it would be good to help editors avoid introducing the issue in the first place. Or if this is really not an issue anymore so that the category can go away as tracking a non-issue. What do you think? Thanks. — Archer1234 (talk) 14:45, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Archer1234, that tracking category was added after a syntax change to the infobox that stopped wrapping the bare URLs with the {{URL}} template. I am pretty sure the preferred method is to use {{URL}} for URLs in infoboxes. I don't know if gnomes like MB are using it, or if there are other infoboxes with a similar check. I am not actively monitoring it, so I don't really care if it stays or goes. in either case, it's not a serious problem having a bare URL in an infobox. although, in my opinion, it's also not a serious problem to have a bare URL for a citation, but people clean those up all the time. Frietjes (talk) 15:30, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I "fix" these. Most of the template docs say to use {{URL}} and I think it visually much cleaner to display the url without the "HTTP://". I plan to ask that this checking be added to other infoboxes in the future, if there is ever a time when all the other things in other tracking cats are fixed (assuming I am still alive).

Can I ask for something else? REEDriler (talk) 20:04, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the color boxes here are not square when I compare it to this revision side by side. Could this be controlled any way in the template or the article? {{Legend inline}} is appropriate inside infobox right?. I'm confused here because some of the system's station articles like [41] use |inline=yes for rcb inside infoboxes, but they are not square that way. Then I used the metric from your prev archive and its seems off compared to (table cells)! I've kept the "if" order in {{Party legend}} same as the party name with color module. So maybe a Party legend package could fit there just like rcb for rail?

Hello. Very sorry to bother you, but I cannot work out why I cannot get the third round heading or vote total to appear here based on my edits in sandbox. I wondered whether it was because this code was missing, but when I added it, the module faulted... I guess somewhere I have to increase the number of possible rounds, but I can't work out where. Cheers, Number 57 23:16, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Number 57, it looks like you are starting to figure it out. let me know if you need help. once you get it working, I would suggest making "has_seats" a table, along with some of the other suffixed local variables. when we first designed it, there were only one or two rounds, but now with three rounds it makes sense to start using loops, and more generic logic. Frietjes (talk) 23:49, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response – at the moment I am stuck in trying to make the third set of votes/%/seats headings appear in the second row (and also can't work out why the seats total appears for the third round, but not the votes)... Number 57 23:54, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Number 57, the code starting around line 427 is confusing. I would think you just need one case there to add the second row headings when there is more than one round. Frietjes (talk) 23:59, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are two sets of headings called (rows 427-452 and 453-473) because in some cases there is an additional column (swing), so the first set is to create four second row columns (with swing) and the second set is to create three second row columns (without swing). Number 57 00:09, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Number 57, I see, but I would think you could stick a conditional inside of the loop to adjust if the bulk of the loop is the same. Frietjes (talk) 00:11, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Number 57, in the loop starting at line 89, you go row by row, checking the parameters, and setting the "rounds" parameter. however, it looks like there is a problem in that if the next row has fewer rounds, you can overwrite the rounds with 2 when it was set to 3 in the previous row. so, you probably want to only set it to 2, if it is less than 2? in any event, I am going to log off shortly, so I probably won't be able to help for another 18 hours. Frietjes (talk) 00:18, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have to confess I am a bit lost now... I don't understand that part of the code I'm afraid... Most of my work on that module has been learning as I go along... Number 57 00:36, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Number 57, I made the change in the part that I noticed, and it seems to be getting closer, but still quite a bit of code to review (and probably clean up at some point). Frietjes (talk) 00:41, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've been trying to tidy it up a bit too. Number 57 00:44, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have been using this for a few months and if you would be willing to make any updates I have a list now of changes: 1. only work on infoboxes, as part of Indent (as a option, the way you implemented removesmalltags). 2. not clobber existing edit summary 3. include a link to MOS:NOBR in the edit summary 4. display the template parameter in the dialog box to make it easier to decide whether to accept 5. is there way to have the OK/Cancel box stay in a fixed location, like at the top?

Any of these changes would be much appreciated as always. MB 22:44, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Frietjes

I noticed that you were active at TFD so I have a question for you. I stumbled upon Category:2020 NCAA Division I baseball standings templates and it looks like most of these templates, at least the ones I checked, indicate that no games were played in these college leagues during 2020 likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So, should we have templates that indicate 0 games were played? Are they serving any purpose? I know little about templates and since I see you have experience nominating templates for deletion discussions, I'm hoping you can give me your opinion. Thanks! Liz ^{Read!

Hi,

I've been scratching my head for 30 minutes trying to figure out how my second set of edits to this article happened. I made two edits and I gladly claim the first set, but I have no idea how the second set happened or any recollection of it. I thank you for reversion because without it, information would have been lost. (I don't think I was hacked, there don't seem to be any other changes or other affects on my computer, and I did it at work, where we have excellent security against hacking.) I will go back and redo the first edit, which corrected a reference and typos. At least I can add a reference where one was needed.

I'm still wondering what happened and send you my apologies for making you spend time undoing my edit.

It looks like those parameters already exist but are not documented. They appear to be called |Different Next= and |Different Previous=. You can see one of the parameters in use at 2020 Ivy League men's basketball tournament. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:53, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: – thanks, I wouldn't have realized that. I'm not one to mess with template documentation (wouldn't want to screw it up), is there any chance you could please add those parameters to it? SportsGuy789 (talk) 01:03, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No good deed goes unpunished. This change appears to have caused some table syntax errors in a few articles, currently listed at this page. This is an excerpt of the table code that results:

| style="font-weight: normal;background-color:transparent;" |9 | style="font-weight: normal;background-color:transparent;" |0.222  |-[[Category:Pages using volleyball sports table with incorrect set points]]|}<div class="sports-table-notes">Source: [http://todor66.com/volleyball/Asia/Men_AG_1974.html Results]</div> {| class="wikitable" width=95% style="border-collapse:collapse; font-size:90%"

Note the category in the line for the new table row, and the table closing markup, which should be on a new line. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:19, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jonesey95, thank you! I have fixed the problem. Frietjes (talk) 17:25, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Frietjes, I was wondering if you could please help me with the wiki-code formatting over at Template:Infobox NBA season? Specifically, I am trying to hard-code the wiki-code formatting so that it resembles the wiki-code formatting over at Template:Infobox NFL team season using Template:Basketball color cell & Template:Basketball color cell2. Please help me? Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 06:22, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Charlesaaronthompson, start a thread at Template talk:Infobox NBA season and I will have a look. Frietjes (talk) 18:29, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've started a new topic at Template talk:Infobox NBA season. Charlesaaronthompson (talk)

Hello, Frietjes,

I see that you have tagged quite a few categories for CSD C1 speedy deletion as empty categories but they aren't empty (see the second page of Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion). When I looked a sample category that contained one template, I don't see individual templates listed for discussion at TFD but a proposal to delete a category which should really happen at CFD, not TFD. Typically we untag categories that are tagged but not actually empty but I wanted to check in with you first. However, another editor might take the initiative to untag all of these not empty categories. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:39, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Liz all the categories that were tagged contained templates that were deleted at TfD. The only category that I see in the link that you provided is Category:United States men's national water polo team convenience templates, which I have now untagged since it will be deleted when the corresponding discussion closes. not sure why {{PAGESINCAT:{{PAGENAME}}}} is zero for a category with pages. Frietjes (talk) 15:58, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I was suggest to by a user to come to you about adapting the "Graph:Chart" template to accept the "party color" template to be used. Is it possible that the aforementioned template can be altered so that the latter can be used? ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 12:21, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ValenciaThunderbolt, can you provide an example I can used for creating/testing something? I will probably create a wrapper that calls both to avoid possibly screwing up the main modules. thank you. Frietjes (talk) 21:42, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll create a sandbox for it :) ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 21:44, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just added to my own. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 21:48, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there :) Have you managed to create a wrapper modules yet? ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 14:28, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ValenciaThunderbolt, I have something that works by going through the template interface (see User:Frietjes/political graph). the syntax is the same as "Graph:Chart", but you can use |y1Party= which sets the color and the title using data from "party color". to override the title, which is the party shortname, you use |y1Title= as before. we just to decide on a name for the new wrapper template. on a side note, I had hoped to get something that went through the module interface, but there are bugs with no help here. but, it's probably not a big deal, just a curiosity why the module-interface version isn't working. Frietjes (talk) 15:41, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay and thank you :) ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 16:01, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ValenciaThunderbolt, any suggestions for a name for the wrapper template, {{Graph:Chart political}} or {{Political Graph:Chart}}, or {{Political chart}}, or {{Political graph}}, or something else? Frietjes (talk) 16:03, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the first one is best, so it's in keeping with the existing template. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 16:08, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ValenciaThunderbolt, okay, now live at {{Graph:Chart political}}, let me know if you see any problems. Frietjes (talk) 16:30, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay and thank you again :) ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 16:36, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help with {{Infobox airline}}? Currently the box has entries available for IATA, ICAO and a callsign. I'd like another one in there. Currently Nav Canada has two letter Canadian Domestic Designators but I don't know if any other country uses anything like that. Would it be possible to add that in a way that would be a choice between the ICAO or the domestic designator? Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 21:16, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CambridgeBayWeather, I added |CDD= to template:Infobox airline/sandbox. it will override the |ICAO= column in the table if non-blank. I wasn't sure what to use for the abbreviation or link, so feel free to change as desired. Frietjes (talk) 21:46, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. That was quick. That's it exactly. The abbreviation and link looks fine. If someone else says they use domestic designators it can be changed. Thank you. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 03:10, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Frietjes, can you perhaps explain why the tournament link in the footer of the infobox at the tennis article 2011 Open 13 goes to the redirect Open 13 (tennis) instead of directly to Open 13? Had a look at the template but can not figure out where the '(tennis)' suffix comes from. Thanks.--Wolbo (talk) 13:29, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wolbo, if you search for (tennis) in Template:Infobox tennis tournament year/footer you will see there is several "ifexist" checks that look for the (tennis) dab first, and use it when it exists. this is presumably to avoid the worse problem of linking to a non-tennis article or to a disambiguation page. deleting Open 13 (tennis) would fix the problem. or, we could have a |event_link= parameter to override if this is a common problem. Frietjes (talk) 16:32, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. Will discuss it further in the tennis project to see if this issue is significant enough to warrant a |event_link= parameter.--Wolbo (talk) 17:06, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please clarify the reasons for the series of edits that a) make categorization less specific and b) emptied several existing categories? Some edits moved templates between categories: e.g. the last edit Special:Diff/1143235956 – a template about Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics is moved from Category:2008 Summer Olympics football templates to less specific Category:2008 Summer Olympics templates. Some edits just remove categorization – Special:Diff/1143231407. There were also edits of categories.

I checked some of the edits, but none of them seem to have any edit summaries. —⁠andrybak (talk) 21:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

all of these categories had either (a) only one item/category, or (b) only one category which will soon be deleted. sorry for the lack of edit summaries. I can send it to WP:CFD if you would like. Frietjes (talk) 21:44, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Emptying categories like that only to immediately mark them for speedy deletion seems like a subversion of WP:C1. Going through CfD would be appreciated. —⁠andrybak (talk) 21:53, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

will do. Frietjes (talk) 21:55, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

andrybak, you can stop the reverts, I am doing it. Frietjes (talk) 21:58, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I had the same question, all of the category/template moves and taggings ballooned Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion and then hours later, deflated it. I guess I'll check out CFD to see what is going on.

By the way, at this rate, you're going to hit 900,000 edits soon! Geez, louis, that's a lot of editing activity over 12 years! Thanks for all of the time and talent contributed to the project! Be sure to get outside once and a while and take a few deep breaths. ;-) Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, could you either pause your LST nominations or do them in significantly larger batches for now? Replying to them all is an absolute pain and it's difficult to properly discuss them as a group when they are spread out over two dozen nominations. --Trialpears (talk) 04:28, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

pausing is not a problem. the group size based on the number of templates in each category, and to allow the automated tools to close the discussion. Frietjes (talk) 16:21, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Understandable reasons to not increase the group size and thanks for doing this. If you haven't already I would suggest you check out the VPP discussion. --Trialpears (talk) 21:37, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Frietjes,

I saw yesterday that all of these national Olympic ice hockey team roster template categories were emptied yesterday except, for some reason, that of Finland. You can see this here at Category:Olympic ice hockey team roster templates by nation.

When I backtracked to try to figure out what was going on, I found a TFD you started on the subject for a Olympic ice hocky team roster template that was just closed. Do you have any idea why the Finland category wasn't affected? It seems crazy to maintain a category like this for just one country so if you could find the template that is causing the Finland category to be populated, it would be great if you could also nominate it at TFD. If, on the other hand, this category was filled the old-fashioned way, by adding articles individually, I guess we could find alternative categories to place these pages. Any way, I just thought you might know what had happened here and why these categories emptied out. Thanks! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:39, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Liz, it looks like those were not in the same roster categories with the others, and some are the only roster templates for that year. I will send them to TfD since they are single-use. Frietjes (talk) 18:54, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Frietjes, I was wondering if you would please consider helping me? What I'm trying to do is add wiki-code formatting for the historical color schemes for all NBA, WNBA, NBA G League & other teams over at Module:Sports color/basketball (similar to Module:Gridiron color/data). Would you please help me? Do I need to get a WP:CONSENSUS first? Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 14:01, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Charlesaaronthompson, start a thread in a common location and I will have a look. I don't know exactly what you are proposing or if anyone else will care. Frietjes (talk) 14:07, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw you created Module:Location map/data/Cuba and I am wondering if you could add commons:File:Cuba (location map).svg onto there,when i tried to do it said "Lua error at line 10: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 1) near 'image3'." and am confused how to add it, thanks!
