Template talk:Initiated

Typo
The template puts the text INITATED not INITIATED. Can someone who knows how fix the typo? SPACKlick (talk) 15:37, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * , thank you for . Happy editing! — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 17:09, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Resolved tag for usage

 * Is there a way of incorporating a done tag into this template so it can be turned off by adding Status:= Complete or whatever? SPACKlick (talk) 15:54, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * , that already exists as a previously undocumented yes parameter. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 16:18, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Category
The template is categorising ANRFC as admin backlog (which is fine) but also every page to which ANRFC is transcluded (including AN and few pages in userspace). Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:38, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * , it's going to take some serious template-foo magic to make that transclude only one level deep, but I believe I've seen it done before and will dig up where I saw that and see if I can't replicate it here. Might not be right away, I have to do a lot of digging for that. :) — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 00:44, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No worries, thanks for looking. When/If you work it out can you let me know, something useful to note down. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:46, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Type parameters
It would be helpful to have the type parameter abbreviations defined on the page, or a link to type definitions. As an irregular user of this template I find myself intermittently searching and wasting time. The list currently reads: afd; block; cfd; drv; ffd; mfd; mrv; rfa; rfc; rfd; rm; rmv; tban; tfd; xfd. Klbrain (talk) 10:06, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * For most of them, there is a direct equivalent in WP: space. For example, afd → WP:AFD; block → WP:BLOCK, cfd → WP:CFD. I've not chcked them all, bit busy today. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 15:02, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks; the list using that approach is: afd; block; cfd; drv; ffd; mfd; mrv; rfa; rfc; rfd; rm; rmv; tban; tfd; xfd. So, that would provide links for most, but current misses rmv and tban. Perhaps these are WP:RMV (but that's an essay on removing content) and WP:TBAN (seems that only the upper case is redirected for these). xfd also seems ambiguous; does it mean a discussion of any other deletion not defined elsewhere? Klbrain (talk) 08:35, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I intended my examples to indicate that all of them should be uppercased. As regards rmv, shows that the related process is requested moves, for which the normal shortcut is WP:RM; and  shows that rm was also made valid later on. Perhaps rmv was a typo for rm, and was deliberately retained to avoid breaking existing uses. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 19:06, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

An embedded left-to-right mark causes the template to malfunction
A left-to-right mark may be embedded in the DATE ( parameter ) if the timestamp is copy-pasted into this parameter field. Reported at Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard/Requests for closure. See the examples at Template:Initiated/testcases. – wbm1058 (talk) 17:23, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Split tag missing
Can a three letter split tag parameter be added to this template. PicturePerfect666 (talk) 20:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what you mean by "three letter split tag". -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 22:09, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You have these ´afd; block; cfd; drv; ffd; mfd; mrv; rfa; rfc(default); rfd; rm; rmv; tban; tfd; xfd’
 * So maybe not three but a split parameter would be very useful. PicturePerfect666 (talk) 22:24, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * So what you are actually asking for is a new permitted value for the type parameter. Nothing to do with tags at all. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 17:09, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
