Template talk:Single+double

What about article names that end with an apostrophe?[edit]

Resolved

– New template handles this case.

For example with the song "Stalin Wasn't Stallin'", how do I get a gap between the last apostrophe in the link and the closing double-quote without inserting a space character? --Bruce1ee^talk 13:40, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've just created Template:Space+double for this purpose, having encountered the issue myself. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 07:23, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, it's working nicely. --Bruce1ee^talk 08:22, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Builtin" space between quotation marks?[edit]

I'm not sure where to ask this admittedly obscure question about an obscure template, but I figured that this is the best place to talk about it.

Can the font that Wikipedia uses be modified in such a way that it displays consecutive " and ' quotation marks with a space in-between them, like in (some) other non-monospace fonts? An example font would be the one that DuckDuckGo uses, which displays quotation marks in a spaced manner.

It would solve the problem of not being able to distinguish consecutive quotation marks that the {{" '}} or {{' "}} templates aim to solve without needing to add either template. (Admittedly, pages mentioning the need to use either of the templates, like MOS:QINQ, are also themselves obscure.) LightNightLights ^(talk) 10:27, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't really have anything to do with "the font" being used. Rather, it would be about employing some scripted application of CSS spacing or insertion of a hair-space character on the fly, and doing that is something that would have to be built into the MediaWiki software. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:12, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Documentation error[edit]

The documentation for this template said "To properly achieve similar results within parameters of a template that automatically wraps the value in double-quotes (e.g. |title= in {{cite web}}), use the {{'-}} or {{Single+space}} template."

I've deleted that sentence because the {{Single+space}} documentation has a warning not to use that template in CS1 or CS2 parameters. Please feel free to revert and discuss here if you disagree with my change or I misunderstood the intent of that sentence. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:38, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
