Help! Page formatting broken?[edit]

What the hell is happening here? Page formatting seems to be beaking after my edit... but I can't see anything wrong with it... help!

Fixed. Thanks Chicdat! -- {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 13:27, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 10:01, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Right place for initial discussion of proposed new templates[edit]

Does the initial discussion of proposed new templates belong in Idea Lab or in Technical? Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 13:15, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Chatul, both would be good places. The Idea Lab is perhaps a more theoretical venue, if that helps. EpicPupper (talk) 23:52, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

File:Дети -шахтёры.jpg[edit]

@Mrfoogles and EEng: I agree that the image is a bit silly, but there's a long-standing tradition that being a bit silly in project space is acceptable, or at least tolerated, as long as it's not disruptive. Probably not worth edit-warring about. RoySmith (talk) 22:47, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. Maybe, Mrfoogles, when you have more than 267 edits total you'll understand better. E Eng 23:29, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, will stop messing with it. It does make it hard to figure out what the thing is talking about, though, like a bad cue. Not worth edit warring about. Mrfoogles (talk) 02:09, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One function of humor is to exercise the faculty of figuring out what things are really talking about. E Eng 02:15, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@EEng, Mrfoogles, and RoySmith: After some consideration, I've removed the image, as an irrelevant distraction from a serious discussion. As I've discussed with EEng before, humor in its place is a very good thing, but a sense of occasion is also important, and not every conceivable visual homonym-based pun ought to be made. Newyorkbrad (talk) 03:21, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Minor and miner are not homonyms; they're homophones. And you a lawyer. Geesh! E Eng 05:28, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would really appreciate it if we could put the village pump back.[edit]
