Template-protected edit request on 28 September 2023
[edit] | This edit request to Module:Copied has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please change:
image = '[[File:Splitsection.svg|50px]]',
To:
image = '[[File:Splitsection.svg|frameless|upright=0.23|link=|alt=]]',
...per MOS:BLANKALT and MOS:UPRIGHT. Thanks! HouseBlastertalk 03:49, 28 September 2023 (UTC), edited to add |frameless 15:41, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Examples now on Template:Copied/testcases. The image is now smaller and you dropped the 50px. Is that intentional? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:11, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Per MOS:UPRIGHT,
"px works the same as upright for users with the usual base width setting of 220px, but works counterintuitively for readers whose base width is set to a different value... For example, an image coded 275px—presumably to make it wider than most images on a particular page—is actually rendered smaller than most images if the user has changed their base width to 300px"
(emphasis in original). To convert between the two, you divide the value in pixels by 220, which in this case gives us 0.22727272727... However, because I forgot the frameless param (thank you for sandboxing this... goes to show you even trivial changes should realllllly be tested first), the upright param had no effect on resizing the image. I have edited the sandbox to reflect this, and it should be working now. HouseBlastertalk 15:41, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
- Per MOS:UPRIGHT,
Done that looks better — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:57, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Make the change as described in this diff Toadette (April Fools Day!) 22:15, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Wait, not the template, but the module. Should've posted at Module talk:Copied Toadette (April Fools Day!) 22:17, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done Module talk:Copied redirects here so this is in the right place. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:29, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Clarify where the template should go
[edit]Clarify if this template should go in the main article or the talk page. I think this is meant to be used in the talk page but it isn't very clear. I see at least one example of an article that used it in the main page see Chivalry Bookshelf. There is this line but it is not explicit enough in my opinion: "Adding this template on the talk page is not a substitute for attribution in the page history using edit summaries."

Merged-from nesting
[edit] | It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected template at Template:Copied. (edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.
Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |
A previous template was made by Flatscan at the request of Otherlleft - now deleted, with reasoning of being 'redundant' with this template - to act as a nested version of {Merged-from}.
For this reason, I propose to change the default value of the to parameter to the article {Copied} is invoked on. Additionally/as a result, to should not need to be specified for each from1, from2, etc.. This way, the template would act easier as a nested version of {Merged-from}. It might also be accompanied by a stylistic change - such as removing the ambiguity of 'to or from' in the displayed tag.
As an example, see the {copied} tag at Talk:Customer relationship management. Tule-hog (talk) 02:26, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
