Template talk:Undated

[edit] No named args
I removed named arguments because they create a lot of unnecessary wikicode when the template is subst'd (example) and they are not used in any template trasclusions (I checked all 88 transclusions existing at the moment). This change is similar to this: Template_talk:UnsignedIP#Ugly_substing. Also removed outdated template documentation on this talk page ∴ Alex Smotrov 16:22, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Doc on a separate subpage
Well, I certainly did not expect this template to suddenly become protected... {{editprotected}} Well, then please move all the documentation back into Template:Undated/doc (simply overwriting that page outdated content) and then transclude /doc on the template page ∴ Alex Smotrov 20:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please remove this template
Unsigned comments alright, but undated comments should be legitimate. First, Wikimedia supports them itself with the three-tilde macro, second, they expose more working hour habits than is necessary to any purpose and nice to privacy. You can always look up a date from the history - having it readily available in the document only makes it easier for automatic harvesting. Please be respectful of contributor's choices in this case. Disable this template. --lynX
- This template merely reflects the WP:SIG guideline and is no more an issue of privacy than is the page history, since it reflects the exact same information. Remember, nobody has to include the datestamp, as WP:SIG is a guideline, and you can always ignore it. If you would like to no longer have datestamping in signatures as a guideline, however, please discuss it over at the signatures guideline or at the village pump. --slakr\ talk / 13:12, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Improving documentation and template
- {{editprotected}}
Documentation is being updated. Please remove {{UnsignedTemplates}} {{template doc}} [[Category:Internal link templates|Undated]] from this page and replace it with
{{Documentation}}
<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS TO THE /doc SUBPAGE, THANKS -->
Please add this to the single parameter,
{{{1|<font color="red"><u>''an unspecified datestamp''</u></font>}}}
and remove the <includeonly> tags. 209.244.43.122 (talk) 01:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Done, though at first glance I might expect the UTC time if the datestamp isn't provided. Gimmetrow 02:41, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
