Template talk:Thinspace

Parameter
Hi, Edokter – I restored the parameter you removed because I've found several pages that were broken by that removal. One example is Infobox organization/doc, where the ibox in the Usage section has a "Coordinates" parameter that was broken. I first ran across this at Help:Magic words, where I just fixed it by using two instances of Thinsp. I started investigating and found and fixed several more pages using this template's What links here list, but there seem to be a lot of pages that use the parameter, so it seems the best fix was to restore the parameter. Hope you're okay with it. Best of Everything to You and Yours! – Paine 11:27, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * (Late reply) I will have to fix that then. The parameter is completely redundant and was added by a user that was banned for just these kind of edits. Total transclusion count is about 760, so it shouldn't be too hard.  11:35, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Proposed redirect from Thinspace
To anyone interested (including ), does do anything special that  can't already handle? If not, then I should like to suggest Template:Thinspace redirect to Template:Thin space. If it does, then perhaps a special notation might be added to the top of each template's doc to succinctly distinguish the usage of one from the other. I wanted to check first before formally proposing the merger. — Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 00:29, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Template:Thinspace has been nominated for merging with Template:Thin space. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. — Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 16:54, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * per discussion at the Templates for discussion page. — Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 17:47, 24 May 2021 (UTC)


 * They have different functions. This template puts thin spaces before and after the string in 1. The other one puts thin spaces in between each of the arguments, but not before the first or after the last. The nowrapping is also applied differently. Have you created a sandbox version of this template and test cases that would handle the redirects and preserve their appearance, or do you have a proposal for how it would work? – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:56, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have received a reply at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. In response, I have withdrawn my merge proposal. I still recommend adding a notation somewhere near the top of each template, so as to avoid future confusion. — Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 17:33, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Go ahead. The documentation is not protected. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:41, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Maybe later, as I've been dealing with a contentious discussion elsewhere, and am taking a break. If someone else takes up the task before I do, that would be fine. Otherwise, I will look into such an edit after a good rest.
 * Template:Thinspace has a proposed move which is being discussed at Template talk:Thinspace — Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 03:18, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, later will work. I'm sorry that you're dealing with a contentious discussion; they are rarely fun. Is it about your confusing signature, which violates the signature guideline? – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:16, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
