Template:Old move is permanently
protected from editing because it is a
heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by
consensus, editors may use {{
edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's
documentation to add usage notes or
categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases. |
This is the
talk page of a
redirect that has been
merged and now targets the page: • Template:Old moves Because this page is not frequently watched, present and future discussions, edit requests and requested moves should take place at: • Template talk:Old moves Merged page edit history is maintained in order to preserve attributions. |
Is the collapse parameter not working for anyone else? Using the example from documentation, I would expect this to produce a collapsed template:
{{Old moves
| collapse = true
| list =
* RM, Côte d'Ivoire → Ivory Coast, '''No consensus''', 5 May 2005, [[Talk:Ivory Coast#Move 1]]
* RM, Côte d'Ivoire → Ivory Coast, '''No consensus''', 5 May 2006, [[Talk:Ivory Coast#Move 2]]
* RM, Côte d'Ivoire → Ivory Coast, '''No consensus''', 5 May 2007, [[Talk:Ivory Coast#Move 3]]
* RM, Côte d'Ivoire → Ivory Coast, '''Moved''', 5 May 2008, [[Talk:Ivory Coast#Move 5]]
* MRV, Côte d'Ivoire → Ivory Coast, '''Endorsed''', 20 May 2008, [[Wikipedia:Move review#2012 July 10]]
}}
This page has previously been nominated to be moved.

It is definitely not collapsing for, at least, me.-- 137.54.15.236 ( talk) 15:10, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Quick note to this third option: The IP here (me) ... the other IP address AND User:K12worker are all me. I have not attempted to act as different people in order to pretend like I have additional support ... I simply started today at my library (137 IP address), went to my home computer (where I was logged into an account I do not use anymore), realized I was logged in ... logged out and that's where I am now.
I initially made a requested edit on this template because the HTML markup was broken - featuring open tags that were not closed - and because the collapse capability of the template was not working. (I also found a mistake in the documentation, but I fixed that on my own.) I can edit templates (I'm an old user) but prefer not to unless I get the feeling no one else is coming (see my request on Template:Infobox convention center, which ultimately ended in me making the edit). After getting home, I did decide to tackle this template myself, but in making the changes I had planned on, I realized how strange the code was (more on that in a second) ... and I realized that I might as well replace the code with wiki syntax done here. User Izno reversed that edit as "not an improvement" (which I find odd given that he reversed it to a template with broken HTML and a broken collapse bug) and then saw my old request and made the changes I requested. I appreciate that he made those changes, but I find the reversal to be ill-advised.
Admittedly, this template involves some tricks to get wiki syntax to work, especially {{ !}}, but I believe that is superior to what we have now: a strange bit of code that either produces a div or a table depending on the collapse variable (when there's no reason why it cannot be the same for both, as it was with the wiki syntax). My ultimate point is this: My original edit erased markup errors and was certainly functionally superior than the iteration before it. Izno then made an edit that produced a template that worked equally well (although also featured strange discontinuities, to no fault of his). There is no Wikipedia policy that says HTML should be used in templates, and so there is no real justification of that edit.- 216.12.10.118 ( talk) 00:19, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
