Nesting template

[edit]

in the nesting templates section under creating templates, in the second example, shouldn't it have a '3' in the line of code for template A, instead of a '1'? Or am I missing something? JoeJShmo💌 08:00, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it should by 3. I've fixed it. Bryan Henderson (giraffedata) (talk) 17:00, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate use of templates?

[edit]

Is there anywhere on Wikipedia that details inappropriate use of templates? I have the feeling that {{rut}} and {{rus}} only exist to replace simple links, but I can't find a policy that outright forbids this. If I were to send those templates to WP:TfD, would they likely survive deletion? – PeeJay 13:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they will absolutely survive deletion. There is no policy which forbids templates which create links, let alone one that also finds flags and team icons. Did you even check the transclusion count? Because these are both heavily used, with one of them protected because it is used thousands of times. Of course, the talk page history shows that {{rut}} is actually merged from several "rut" templates for individual teams. I would highly advise leaving it alone unless you really, absolutely need one of the template shortcuts, in which case you might be able to get a bot to expand all the calls before getting the redirect removed. But you'd have to make a pretty significant argument why you can't use anything else. VanIsaac, GHTV contWpWS 04:40, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How many browsers are there in Template

[edit]

How many available browser are there in Template:Babel Depotadore (talk) 14:50, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since this question is about a particular template, a better place to ask would be the Template:Babel talk page.
The Help:Template page is for help using templates in general. Bryan Henderson (giraffedata) (talk) 17:10, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
