Template table changes[edit source]
I think the unexpanded documentation sections on the new template listing tables is just too confusing. Took me a day to realize that you have to manually click the documentation headings which I thought were just unfinished
At the very least the template documentation side of the table should include a quick summary of the template's usage info like the old template list did GauntletThrown (clittyleakage zone) 00:20, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- I could change the opening and close marker to be a more classic [Expand] and [Collapse] if this way is confusing for users, though I personally think this looks less cluttered.
- This page also mostly serves as an index for nusois to find the names of templates for use in the visual editor, so the usage is often stated in the template description instead so it's visible there. I've also just been lazy and not included optional parameters in the usage info since it's already clearly laid out in the templatedata block. 〜 MarketPliers (leak here) 01:07, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- Vro the documentation side of a template's listing is not "cluttered" to any degree GauntletThrown (clittyleakage zone) 01:38, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- I was referring to the actual marker that shows if it's open/closed. Also there is no practical way to only include the short snippet on how to use it and clicking to expand the rest that I'm aware of so having all the documentation visible all the time will make the page 200 miles long 〜 MarketPliers (leak here) 01:44, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- this is why the old version was better GauntletThrown (clittyleakage zone) 01:46, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- I disagree, if I want to know how to use something I want to see all the documentation anyways. Besides, it's literally just one click... 〜 MarketPliers (leak here) 01:54, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- hmmm do I want 1 click to view all the information or 0 clicks to view basic and immediately important information and 1 click to view all the information. very hard choice GauntletThrown (clittyleakage zone) 04:55, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- I've implemented the changes requested, let me know what you think. 〜 MarketPliers (leak here) 12:04, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
