Logic templates on WP:AUM

See the discussion on Wikipedia_talk:Avoid_using_meta-templates#Logic_templates. – Ligulem | Talk 15:49, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Meta-templates

Are all of these templates meta-templates (as established by WP:AUM? Many of them are depreciated, as far as I know -- are they all depreciated? I am awaiting clarification, so that I can place a warning stating that the category's templates are deprecated. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 22:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

AUM is not policy, these are not deprecated. See WP:AUM talk page. Kellen ^T 12:15, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

template language

How exactly is every article that calls template:language being included in this category? --Gareth Hughes 00:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

(Added new section title). See your talk page (Common.css). This was caused by that bug on Template:If defined. The category was by error not inside the noinclude which caused each article that uses Template:If defined (directly or indirectly) to appear in this category. Now that bug on Template:If defined is fixed, but it takes some time until the category is fixed. I believe this happens automatically and should be done by the MediaWiki Software but it takes some time. --Ligulem 00:29, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, that lag keeps confusing me. --Gareth Hughes 00:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I thought that wasn't automatic. _→AzaToth 01:46, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

As each page is edited it will disappear from the list. There appears to be some other mechanism which will cause the category to update, but I'm not sure how that works... just that sometimes pages move into/out of a category without being edited. Performing a null edit on each page would take care of it, but probably easier to wait and let natural attrition handle most of them. --CBD _☎ ^✉ 01:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I could do a touch run with WP:AWB or m:Touch.py using my User:Ligulembot account. Any objections? --Ligulem 09:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Started a touch run using m:Touch.py. --Ligulem 09:00, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Bah. Stopped. This category seems to have a strange bug. It is not ending! The next link is always enable and it presents always the same list. There is something fishy... --Ligulem 09:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Seems to be a bug in MediaWiki, as Kelly Martin pointed out on Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser#Make list problem. --Ligulem 21:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Touched. One article is protected and on Wikipedia:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense/Encyclopædia BJAODNonica I only get an error when trying to load. --Ligulem 15:08, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I think they're all off now. --Gareth Hughes 15:41, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Sandbox

Equality example: {{qif |test=test |then=We are happy to be the same |else=test failed! }} Inequality example: {{qif |test=foobar |then=test failed! |else=We celebrate our differences }}

How was this implemented?

I was wondering how Qif was actually implemented, I just read that it was a 'hack', but how was it 'hacked' because I may want to add it to another wiki, but I'm not sure how it works. Chris M. 08:23, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

You might want to read Template talk:Qif (as well as ask questions there). I believe it works with the latest release of MediaWiki though (or the latest version in CVS), and just relies on the "new" parameter default feature. —Locke Cole • t • c 08:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
