In January you forked the module.
I recommend to return to upstream version. The module is under continuous development.
Your fork is missing the following new features:

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].
Thank you!

I don't know enough about templates to tell what the trouble is, but something you did to {{ Charmap}} seems to be causing "The time allocated for running scripts has expired" errors to appear in several articles. (See, for instance, Number sign, Tsu (kana), and Radical 213). Perhaps it would be best to revert your edits unless you can quickly identify and fix the problem.

Hi. I see that you redirected my Page tabs template in my User Talk space. I originally kept my own version of the template as the original only supported a limited number of tabs so I was managing it myself for my own purposes. Can you confirm that the new version does not have any such limitations? If it does not have any such limitations (and on cursory testing it doesn't seem to), thanks for redirecting.-- Jeffro77 ( talk) 07:44, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Just to clarify why I've reverted your change to Template:Ntsp. It appears to be trimming trailing zeros too aggressively.

tag. That "Missing end tag in Modules" list also showed these 8 lint errors in
Module:Sandbox/GKFX/2. I assumed that blanking the page would make the lint errors go away, but it hasn't. For items not in the Module namespace, usually the lint analysis after editing takes only a few seconds. Maybe it takes longer for modules. Modules, like most other pages, have a "Page information" link in the "tools" section, below "What links here", etc. The Page information page for
Module:Sandbox/GKFX/2, that is,
Info page, still shows 8 missing end tag lint errors. I didn't know the cause of the lint errors when I made the request, and I really don't understand why they are still there. If you want to investigate this further, I suggest two things. First, take a look at
WP:Linter and install lintHint. lintHint is a useful tool, but it doesn't work in the Module namespace. It does work in ExpandTemplates, after you click the "OK" button. So the second step might be to revert back to your previous version of
Module:Sandbox/GKFX/2 and use
Special:ExpandTemplates, set the Input wikitext to {{#invoke:Sandbox/GKFX/2}}
, modified to include whatever arguments are supposed to be there, press "OK" and then click on lintHint and see what you find out. (Before you do that, you should play with lintHint on some other page, such as any non-Module page listed on
Missing end tag, so you see how lintHint is supposed to work on a regular non-Module editing page. It's pretty much the same on ExpandTemplates. —

Hey there, GKFX! I'm an admin on SqWiki and I usually look after the technical aspect of the project. Lately I was thinking of translating the text that appears on Module:High-use in our wiki (which I have gotten from here and it's currently on English). When I started doing that though, I stumbled on some difficulties from a language point of view. For example:
local used_on_text = "This " .. (mw.title.getCurrentTitle().namespace == 828 and "Lua module" or "template") .. ' is used ';
In Albanian we have grammatical genders and the words "module" and "template" fall on different genders (module being masculine and template feminine) which requires us to use different words when referring to them, specifically being: Ky modul and Kjo stampë (template).
Also local sandbox_text = ("%s's [[%s/Livadhi|/Livadhi]] or [[%s/testcases|/testcases]] subpages, or in your own [[%s]]. ")
needless to say, the 's part makes no sense in Albanian so parts like that would need to be fully rewritten.
After experiencing these 2 problems, I stopped dealing with it, not wanting to break anything on the module, given that I'm inexperienced on Scribunto. Can you help me guide on the localization process? Maybe I can give you the text and you can make the needed changes? Also, I'm not sure if the module on EnWiki could be changed altogether to allow better internationalization. A text using singulars and plurals, different genders and English specific forms like 's is a living hell for i18n.
I found your name on the contributors on that module and thought to ask. Don't be afraid to refuse my request if you find yourself unable to help for whatever reason. :) - Klein Muçi ( talk) 10:27, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Category:SpaceX working group articles indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

The order of tests in the version of {{
Sets taxobox colour}}
before your change favours efficiency over ease of reading (always a problem with the template language!). In a great majority of cases, the taxon will not have a defined colour – only a very tiny minority do – so it's far more efficient to do the tests as
if taxon has a defined colour then if colour is the incertae sedis colour then return "" else return taxon; else return "";
Whether efficiency matters is another question, but I'm inclined to revert your edit.

Hi, GKFX. On your edit at Maria Louise Kirk, I take it there is some restriction on the use of that Template:Main page image. I was using it because there has been some change to the way [[File:X.jpg|thumb]] displays itself, taking over a whole page width on my device, and the Main page image is the only fix I have come across.

Heya – I just wanted to pop in to say that I unfortunately had to remove your addition of the {{ hidden begin}} and {{ hidden end}} template to Textual variants in the New Testament.
I'm not sure whether you're aware, but collapsible templates aren't used within article text, per MOS:DONTHIDE. They make it more difficult to find and edit text, they can interfere with accessibility, and in some cases don't even hide text on mobile, as was the case on the article.
I don't know if collapsible templates are something you've added to other articles; I know that article size is a concern, but looking at the recent additions list for articles exceeding post-expand include size, Textual variants in the New Testament isn't cropping up, so I think it's fine. I hope this is okay. Thanks!-- Ineffablebookkeeper ( talk) ({{ ping}} me!) 12:47, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Noticed you dealt with a few instances where the cases charts caused PEIS issues. My solution to this in the charts I edit is to comment out six days a week of data points, i.e. dropping to weekly values. The raw data remains in the source code for anyone that needs it. This has been vital when switching change type to weekly incidence which significantly increases the expanded size. So far it has sufficed to comment out data only through mid 2021. At some future time this could be switched to show every data point of the initial growth and certain surges, while dropping to weekly data for the remainder. The chart for Colorado is a good example. EphemeralErrata ( talk) 23:00, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
