template experiences

Hi smiddle, are you experianced with templates? Could you have a look on Template:Wiki/suggestion, I could not get it to work. My idea was to have entries in the appropriate Unknown Categories for parameters set to default or not set in the including page of an improved Wiki Template. I began working on wiki sizes and wanted to keep track with sizes missing. --Peu 16:33, 19 October 2006 (EDT)

I'll try with that strange "if" template... – Smiddle / T·C·S·A 09:26, 20 October 2006 (EDT)

Or maybe it can work without the template. – Smiddle / T·C·S·A 09:30, 20 October 2006 (EDT)

...what exactly is not working? – Smiddle / T·C·S·A 09:33, 20 October 2006 (EDT)

My idea was to elaborate an improved future-save Wiki-Template-mechanism that makes pages visible that use older versions with less parameters. (The today-challenge is to bring a template-formulation to work that, for instance, collects Wikis with no WikiNode given in a new category, maybe Category:UnknownWikiNode). (I'm not sure if it could be done with this MediaWiki-Version) --Peu 13:25, 20 October 2006 (EDT)

"If" template to the rescue. I hope it doesn't mess up like it did before. – Smiddle / T·C·S·A 15:20, 20 October 2006 (EDT)

hey, looks good, look at this, we have to add only the statistics url and think (a little) about layout changing... --Peu

wat are you doing?

You know that the includeonly section is responsible for listing in unk-cats [1]? the pipe "|" means here default parameters, not cat order. --Peu 04:09, 21 October 2006 (EDT)

Oops. – Smiddle / T·C·S·A 04:10, 21 October 2006 (EDT)

What about wiki_URL

It's crazy but ther seem to be WikiPages without URL. and,

please, could you explain how If works. (so long I have to "family" now) --Peu 04:17, 21 October 2006 (EDT)

Let's see... Category:UnknownWikiURL. But it only works if wiki_URL is not entered. If 'YourWikiHttp' or 'No' is entered, they'll not be added to the category. Hope there's a conclusion. – Smiddle / T·C·S·A 04:22, 21 October 2006 (EDT)

Oh, there is another mistake

You placed the unk-cats directly in the tamplate, thet causes the template page itself listed in unknowns. I did it now by including the "includeonly" tagging into the if-space and it works. If we could bring the standard wiki property lines into a generic fashion (maybe with your "If") then we can remove the "includeonly" section on top of the tamplate. --Peu 04:35, 21 October 2006 (EDT)

a last one

What do you think about it ([[2]])? --Peu 04:54, 21 October 2006 (EDT)

MyTimezone

Hi smiddle, I have added a Template:TimezoneMiddleEurope to use for our timezone (i it's the same). If we use it, we cann do the formatting in one style and switch DST with one edit. --Peu 07:04, 22 October 2006 (EDT)
