[edit] Merge into Template:Documentation subpage

This template is part of the {{Documentation}} template set. The {{Template doc}} merge proposal was discussed and decided here. – Conrad T. Pino 07:15, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New lines removed

User:PEJL reported an extra blank line at WP:SONG#Infobox between "This documentation is transcluded from ..." line and the "Code" line. The extra line was caused by the combination of {{Documentation}} and {{Documentation subpage}}. User:Patrick added new lines to {{Documentation}} to deal with other issues and {{Documentation subpage}} was already emitting some itself. The prior count was low enough to not matter but 3 consecutive new lines generate

<p> <br/> </p>

in the HTML stream which I saw in test cases. I edited {{Documentation subpage}} to emit less and the extra line was elminated. My examination of the HTML looked clean after {{Documentation subpage}} ending </div>. – Conrad T. Pino 08:11, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Defaultsort does not work

e.g. {{music}} is sorted under "T" instead of "M". --FordPrefect42 (talk) 11:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Font size

Can/should someone reduce the font size? —Markles 16:16, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Why? This box is only visible when you look at the doc pages themselves, not when you look at the documentation as displayed on the template pages. And when you look at the doc pages themselves then this box is very relevant.

  • I think of it like the disclaimer at the top of {{tfd}}, below. —Markles 00:40, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Eh? The {{tfd}} template uses that small font only because when used it is shown inside other templates. That is, it is shown in articles and pages when the template that is nominated to be deleted is used. If it used bigger font it would cause those nominated templates to grow too large on the article pages. The usage of {{Documentation subpage}} is totally different.

  • Suit yourself. It was just an idea.—Markles 05:43, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Section 'Functions' is incorrect regarding category

Template:Documentation subpage#Functions states that this template places /doc subpages (into which it is transcluded) into category 'Documentation subpages'. In fact, this template places such subpages into one of the 'SUBJECTSPACE documentation' categories, e.g. Category:Template documentation. (A similar claim is made by Category:Template documentation.) --AlastairIrvine (talk) 15:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Fixed.--Patrick (talk) 16:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category revisited

  • Category:Wikipedia documentation - Even though it's currently a redlink, click on it and see the 14 current members. This is a bug in the code, or in unintended usage? Either way, could this please be fixed : ) - jc37 06:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
This is the problem:
[[Category:{{
      #if: {{SUBJECTSPACE}}
      | {{SUBJECTSPACE}}
      | Article
    }} documentation<noinclude>| </noinclude>]]
Do we really need separate categories for every even namespace? —{admin} Pathoschild 08:39:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Does it even need categorisation at all? - jc37 15:56, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it keeps pages out of Special:UncategorizedTemplates and is useful for getting a list of documentation pages for database queries. We only need one category to do that, though. —{admin} Pathoschild 20:23:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Makes sense. Thanks for the information. At this point is it just a matter of removing the extra category code and replacing it with the single category? - jc37 08:58, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, if nobody objects I'll switch it back to "Documentation subpages". —{admin} Pathoschild 09:25:01, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
