Protected edit request on 22 October 2021

[edit]

Update from sandbox: Special:Diff/1051326333. This swaps out the nested template approach for a direct call to {{#invoke:string|replace}}. The reason for this is both general code simplification/modernization, and to avoid spreading cascade-protection out to templates that would not otherwise be protected. (In particular, the second reason is why the equivalent {{replace}} is not used.) This has been tested in the testcases page; the original tests were adequate to test this feature, but I have updated them to use Template:Test cases which verifies that there is no change at all to output for the tested inputs.

Update: please instead copy Special:Permalink/1052352524 to Template:Main page image, and also copy Special:Permalink/1052354348 to Template:Main page image/DYK. This includes the edit request above, and also fulfils the feature request below. User:GKFXtalk 18:19, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thumbtime

[edit]
[[File:|140px|Hacky way ]]
Hacky way
Normal size without thumbtime hack

I'm submitting a DYK nomination with a video, and I'd like to use the thumbtime parameter to give it a better image. Doing that in a hacky way seems to affect the size, though. {{main page image/DYK|image=Money Musk at Youth Dance Weekend 2019.webm{{!}}thumbtime=60|caption=Hacky way}} results in the smaller image at right, compared to the normal-sized one beside it. I'm not sure why that's happening, but could a |thumbtime= parameter be added to (hopefully) resolve it? Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}}talk 17:44, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done in sandbox and tested at testcases page. Please could an administrator copy both changes to the main templates? User:GKFXtalk 18:15, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lua errors

[edit]

Please can you make it fail gracefully when the image parameter is blank. I know it is not supposed to be used without an image specified but sometimes a bot comes along and removes the image. See Template:Did you know nominations/Fredericka Martin. Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:56, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dark mode fixes

[edit]

Implement change in sandbox, which explicitly defines text color with a CSS variable to support dark mode. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 22:11, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, not a color variable. Didn't notice the edit made just after mine. Seems to work anyway. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 22:13, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So you don't need a change or you do? — xaosflux Talk 12:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Xaosflux A change is definitely needed here since the current situation is suboptimal (the image caption is rendered as black text on a black background). Please sync Template:Main page image/sandbox to Template:Main page image. Thanks. Sohom (talk) 13:08, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sohom Datta give caching a few mins and try. — xaosflux Talk 13:15, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dark mode for transparent images

[edit]

For Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 6, 2024, it wouldn't hurt to be able to add |class=skin-invert-image for File:Existential quantifier.svg, with something like this: Special:Diff/1224947685/1239007348. See Template:Main page image/testcases#Dark mode test. Or is |class=skin-invert correct in such cases? —⁠andrybak (talk) 21:11, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
