Template talk:DYKproblem

Signature
The signature only seems to work when the template has at least one parameter filled; if you just call DYKproblem with nothing in it, the signature appears as ~. Does anyone know why that might be happening, and how to repair it? (or, on the other hand, we could just remove the signature thing and have to manually type it each time the template is used, like you do with warning templates.) &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 01:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I say remove the auto-sig, and the header. Especially the header, because it's my practice to use the new section button to create a new thread, and doing it that way makes it annoying having an extra header. And the sig thing isn't needed really - we all know how to sign, surely? :-) – How do you turn this on (talk) 02:37, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I added a sig parameter. -- Suntag  ☼  18:50, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a note that the sig parameter causes problems for signatures which include a |. I'm not saying we need to change it, I just thought I'd mention it here in case anyone's wondering why they get strange results. Olaf Davis (talk) 10:03, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up. How often do you use the sig parameter?  Personally, I have pretty much stopped using it, but I don't want to remove it or anything if a lot of people are finding it useful. Politizer talk / contribs 15:16, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Multi-noms
The template currently doesn't have functionality for section and article linking when people make a multi-article nomination. I might fiddle with that in a minute. &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 01:50, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Doc has been updated. &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 02:02, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Header
The header posted does not include an "edit" option. See this. -- Suntag  ☼  18:47, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Huh, weird. I can't imagine why that would be happening; there's not a  or anything like that.  I'll have to fiddle around with it a bit. &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 18:48, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You're quick! You beat my post on your talk page. -- Suntag  ☼  18:49, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Haha, I do love my watchlist... &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 18:52, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Fixed. I feel like a template-programming god!!! &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 18:52, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Code Update
Could a templatey administrator change this              to this    <strong style="color:green"> <strong style="color:green"> <strong style="color:green"> <strong style="color:green"> <strong style="color:green"> <strong style="color:green"> <strong style="color:green"> <strong style="color:green"> <strong style="color:green"> <strong style="color:green"> at Template:DYKproblem?

 * For those of us whose contact lenses don't have syntax highlighting enabled, could you describe the changes please? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 00:19, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hm, here's what the difference seems to be. (I agree with you though, I never like having to do this myself; Seven Seas, in the future please describe the changes that go with your edit request.) I don't know anything about safesubst, so I'll refrain from comment for the moment. <b class="IPA">r ʨ anaɢ</b> (talk) 00:38, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I've edited the code to make it easier to see the changes.
 * These updates add the following changes to the template:
 * Updating the substitution check code to a more efficient version.
 * Updating the code to use safesubst.
 * Rearrangement of includeonly tags to allow full signature code in example.
 * Thanks.  Set Sail For The Seven Seas   13° 8' 30" NET   00:52, 11 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, ✅. Please ping me if this causes any problems. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 08:35, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Please replace the current template with [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:DYKproblem/sandbox&oldid=739228804 this sandbox version] per this discussion. I have tested all the permutations of options and the substituted result is the same in all cases. (ping Magioladitis?) Frietjes (talk) 14:15, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Frietjes done. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:36, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Change: to   (change highlighted) since the template already links directly to the nomination page. Thanks, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 13:58, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:05, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
