Template maintenance history

Infobox Person cleanup

[edit]

Cleaned up approximately 30k pages with unsupported empty parameters of {{Infobox person}}.

Deprecated net worth parameter at template:Infobox person

[edit]

The net worth parameter was deprecated July 11, 2021, with the stipulation that the information be left for a reasonable time so that it can be moved from the infobox into the article text, if appropriate. On July 26, 2022, I ran an AWB run to delete the approximately 2500 remaining uses of net worth in articles' infobox person. The record of those removals was saved at User:Vanisaac/AWB log.

Sandbox other project

[edit]

Updated members of Category:Template documentation pages to use {{Sandbox other}} to suppress template categorization in sandboxes 2020-04.

  • Task:
  • Total pages edited: 19,537 out of 30,599 pages in category (64%, including reverts due to erroneous AWB edit)
  • Total edits: 19,732
  • Error rate: .83% needed additional edit to fix or revert erroneous AWB edit. Thirty-two updates (.16%) reverted by other or pointed out/reverted by User:Jonesey95 for mistaken edit. Most were for {{basepage subpage}} or custom conditional already being present, and the template not closing out properly.
  • First edit: Template:!(/doc 2020-04-23 20:28:55
  • Final edit: Template:ZWE/doc 2020-05-01 20:43:14
  • Total elapsed time from first to final edits: 8 days, 14 minutes, 19 seconds.
  • Average edit rate over elapsed runtime: 35.13 seconds per edit.
  • Follow-up tasks posted at WikiProject Templates

Comments

[edit]
Well, my experience is that a template:../subpage often does have the /doc page, to add the main documenation (lol); but should not categorise. So, in general only the FULLPAGENAME is intended to be categorised. It drops all subpages, not just /sanbox etc. I like this. This is why I say {{subpage other}} is OK more mostly. HTH
Now if there is a template /subpage used as stand-alone: yes, that asks for a different, tailored solution. -DePiep (talk) 21:03, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
  • About {{Template categories}}: looks like today, this one is redundant. {{Sandbox other}} now does handle /doc and /sandbox1 pages as being /sandbox.
When this Task is done, we might consider deleting {{Template categories}}. -DePiep (talk) 19:07, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
  • I'm thinking an all-purpose categorization template might be worth implementing here. You'd still have {{{1}}} for the basepage, {{{2}}} for all subpages, then be able to implement specific subpages with each pair of subsequent parameters: {{{3}}} would be a subpage name, {{{4}}} would be for content/categories on that page, {{{5}}} and {{{6}}} would be a second subpage... But maybe that should just be what {{basepage subpage}} does. VanIsaacWScont 01:07, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Created templates

[edit]

I created two of the core Wikipedia markup templates that have been copied to most other Wikimedia projects:

Foundational templates for WikiProject Writing Systems:

Text-handling and formatting utilities:

Random templates:

And the 18 {{Wplink}} series templates for WP:WikiProject links and utilities.
