Thank you for fixing the templates
Thanks for fixing the calculus article looks so much better now. The bottom collapsable templates need the same fix. See for example my sandbox of calculus templates. You can see the templates load fully expanded then immediately collapse. Brian Everlasting (talk) 02:50, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Multi try catch?
Awhile back, you mentioned that a script of mine needed a try catch.

Well, now I have a script that may need a number of try catches: SearchSuite.js.

I'm not sure what the best way to proceed is. How would you go about it?

(And if you see other problems, or ways the script can be improved, feel free to comment on those too.)

I look forward to your reply. Sincerely,     &mdash; The Transhumanist      19:52, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Doing a Popups project for Google Summer of Code
Hi! I pinged you over on the Phab task, but in case you didn't see it, I'm proposing a Google Summer of Code project where I remove the old summarizer & parser code and replace it with calls to the modern API. I was originally thinking action=parse, but it could be the same call that Hovercards uses. I'm also looking for mentors who are familiar with JS & gadgets - you're one of the people most experienced with hacking on this gadget, but it is a big time commitment. Anyway, feel free to add a comment if you want! Enterprisey (talk!) 05:14, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

css edits
Those edits now fuck up lots of things that should never have been 80% width, e.g. archives in Template_talk:Cite_Q, or edit template-protected in pretty much everywhere. Please don't make those changes without testing first. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:58, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry, but it is very hard to find all the gazillion ways peoples have used some of this, so sometimes it just takes a bit to completely figure it out. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 20:03, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Probably a case where it's best to leave the 80% in place then? Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:06, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you have more places that are still broken (after bypassing caching?) because i think i fixed everything you reported. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 20:07, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Those are just a few I caught when randomly loading talk pages. I'm sure there's more, I suppose I can keep an eye out. If it's critical to get rid of the 80%, probably a good idea to post a WP:VPT asking for people to report issues with template widths. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:11, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

This change causes a lot of issues with a bunch of talk page templates (it mostly varies with the zoom level). E.g. vs. I've been trying to re-organize things so that it's not so bad, but a better solution would be appreciated here. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:57, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Need old printing style before October 2017
Hello buddy,

When I try to print out an article, I notice that the printing style of Wikipedia articles has been changed since around October 2017. I really need to use the old printing style. Could you tell me how to revert to the old printing style?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards, Tony

2017 Wikitext editor
Responsive Content breaks the new editor by shifting the text. It is noticeable when syntax highlighting is enabled as it causes an issue similar to. You can easily see this in e.g. United States. I tested it on Chrome 67 and Firefox 60 on Windows.--Nickps (talk) 12:23, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Your change to the sort template today
You made an edit to   today. I have no clue regarding template coding. All I know is that it caused a funky doodle error at List of federal judges appointed by Ronald Reagan and some of our other list articles. It is visibly displaying the sort value that should be invisible, like this:  December 1, 1990  The proceeding showed up just today and just after you made that edit to the sort template. Please fix or revert, as it is disrupting a number of our lists. Thanks. Safiel (talk) 19:16, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
 * When i get back to my laptop later tonight, ill take a look. But at first glance on that page, where this happens, i see dts being nested inside sort, which makes no sense as both are used to generate sortkeys. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 19:35, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Just want to note another editor has reverted the edit for the time being. Safiel (talk) 19:42, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Padding in MediaWiki:Watchlist-messages
Hi, why did you do ? It is causing my watchlist to flick down as the page loading completes, with the result that I occasionally click on a link that is on the line above the one intended. MonoBook skin, Opera 36. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 16:51, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * when you have undismissed notices, you always get that effect dont you ? —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 18:36, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm, there might be something to this. Lemme guess. You are not using the watchlist filters stuff ?
 * The traditional watchlist uses a siteSub under the heading, that this probably clashes with. I'll think about an alternative methodology to apply padding consistenly for both variants —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 19:14, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, when I have undismissed notices it flicks - but that is a useful way of letting me know that a new RfA (or whatever) has just been posted - so I read it, act on it if necessary, and dismiss. When all messages are dismissed, it didn't flick before, and now it does. I turned off the new watchlist filters as soon as they became opt-out (see VPT), since that feature slows down watchlist loading to an unacceptable level. fixes your edit to MediaWiki:Watchlist-messages. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 19:35, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That is strange, when all messages are dismissed, that whole block should not be visible. Ah... I've spotted an error in the watchlist notice gadget... —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 19:46, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm, flipped around for now. Can't really find a proper way to fix this, since this siteSub thing was so badly designed in 2005 ;) —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 20:15, 17 July 2018 (UTC)� —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 20:15, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

css selector headache

 * (copied from User talk:MusikAnimal)

Hi MA, can you take a look at a headache I'm hitting? Some of the "destructive" buttons in monobook still have bad contrast, I fixed some a ways back but am having a problem selecting some. A fairly common example appears in the "block" button a seen here on testwiki. I've blanked out my examples in testwiki:Mediawiki:Monobook.css for a fresh try. Thanks in advance if you have the time! — xaosflux  Talk 03:44, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Woah, this looks so different from vector! I'm guessing the colours changed with the recent responsive Monobook styles? The OOUI standard doesn't seem to be a thing. Anyway, the text colour is set by  so you could try overriding that. &mdash;  MusikAnimal  talk  04:06, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the hints, no joy - tried lots of variants at testwiki:User:Xaosflux/monobook.css. Wonder if that special page is being overwritten in other code? —  xaosflux  Talk 10:25, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi TheDJ, if you have a moment can you take a look if the styling on the monobook block button text label is able to be adjusted via monobook.css as described above? Best regards, — xaosflux  Talk 11:04, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes there is some 3-5 minutes of caching indeed. good to hear you were able to figure out what you needed. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 07:31, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks like some caching, etc may be at play - I finally got it bold, now just need to narrow down to one selector, looks like  may be the best there. —  xaosflux  Talk 03:32, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

sort templates
Hey, a few months back you edited Sort and Sortname to use spans with 'data-sort-value' instead of sortkeys. The template docs didn't get updated to remove the 'deprecated' tag, though; is it your understanding that your change is enough to un-deprecate those templates, even if the output isn't quite the same as having that data-sort-value class on the td tag itself? I had an editor do a sweep of a list I wrote to get rid of uses of those templates recently, and I'm curious if the issue is actually no longer present. -- Pres N  01:44, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Actual Live Preview
Hello! I left a comment on the talk page of User:TheDJ/Actual Live Preview a while ago. Is this a tool that you are planning to maintain? Was thinking of bringing it to the community wishlist because it's such a great idea czar  17:22, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * , Yes i'm maintaining it. Although I have to say that I stopped using it all the time. I actually found it to be quite annoying sometimes, which I suspect has to do with the fact that it's positioning is often off. It is actually hard to do the positioning synchronisation and to make it successful would require that to be fixed. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 08:21, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

 * this user is the original Cameltrader, which got manipulated by a hacker to be renamed, after which the hacker got another account of his moved to the old Cameltrader account, thereby taking over the redirects of cameltraders javascripts. This in turn led to the hijacking of lots of accounts. I blocked the 'new Cameltrader', but since all his pages but the compromised JS were redirects, twinkle placed the warning to end up on the wrong account. This situation is still under investigation by security and stewards. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 08:06, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Hello,

I wanted to share a follow-up to an RfC you participated in from late 2016/early 2017. It was regarding making certain warning templates visible on mobile. The Readers web team has been working to improve how these templates appear on the mobile website. I shared an announcement with communities today that covers what is happening. If you have any interest, I encourage your support in giving feedback on the project page or helping update templates of this nature with some of our recommendations.

TOC limit
Hi. I noticed you made this edit to move the TOC limit to another template. It's caused an issue on this page (and related year articles), where it shows the full contents on the right hand-side. Previously, this was collapsed at month level. I've tried to fix this with Template:TOC limit, but with no success. The best I can get is for the months to be displayed ABOVE the Season Overview section, which isn't how it is supposed to look. Please can you advise? Thanks.
