could somebody make a Template of Defunct Indian political parties Thanks because I don't know how to do it

At User:CJK09/TemplateSandbox I'm trying to make my first ever template, which would simplify the addition of simple discography tables to music-related articles. As seen at User:CJK09/TemplateSandbox/testcases, the template works when only one album is entered, however when I enter more than one album, the album entries stack horizontally instead of vertically (the intent is for the entries to stack vertically). The code can be seen here. What change must be made to the code to fix this? Thanks, CJK09 (talk · contribs) 05:45, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you found the fix yourself? --S Philbrick(Talk) 16:05, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I ended up figuring it out myself. I just replaced the {{!-}} with <tr> and also added a matching </tr> at the end of each code block. CJK09 (talk · contribs) 03:14, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I usually edit only for the German WP, but I would like to "translate" my de:Liste der Länder nach Preisniveau to the english WP. The problem: The table uses the german version of the Flagicon template and is sorted alphabetically by the german-language names of the countries: Is it possible to transfer the table correct to the Flagicon-templates here?--Antemister (talk) 13:58, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The templates Template:Tennis sm tournament, Template:Tennis sm header, Template:Tennis sm match, Template:Tennis sm footer... all seem to have been written with only the men's tennis tournaments in mind. The ladies got left out. From what I can see, 90% of these templates will work for both sexes. It is used for things like specific tennis seasons such as 2017 Roger Federer tennis season. The only item in these templates that won't work for the women is the category level of the Tennis sm tournament. Right now we have:

• OL (Olympic Games)
• WC (ATP World Tour Finals)
• GS (Grand Slam)
• 1000 (ATP World Tour Masters 1000)
• 500 (ATP World Tour 500)
• 250 (ATP World Tour 250)

the women's equivalents that need adding would be:

• WF (WTA Finals) same coloring as WC
• PM (WTA Premier Mandatory) same coloring as 1000
• P5 (WTA Premier 5) also same coloring as 1000
• PR (WTA Premier) same coloring as 500
• IN (WTA International) same coloring as 250

If these categories are added, the template should work well for the women too... so I won't have so much hard coding. I wasn't sure which template held the category info so I listed them all. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:12, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Fyunck(click), I believe you're looking for Template:Tennis category color and Template:Tennis category name. Mr rnddude (talk) 03:45, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I didn't realize those were the templates being accessed by the other templates, and they look pretty straight forward to edit. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:04, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please add a new param to {{Mergenote}} to conditionally control boilerplate wording for Merge notes destined for WikiProject talk pages. Specifics of the request and TP discussion is at Template talk:Mergenote#Template enhancement for WikiProject notification. Mathglot (talk) 01:09, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

With many of us Wikipedians having to deal with the potential outcome of natural disasters (Hurricane Irma in my case), we may need to use a Wikibreak template in preparation for the incoming storm in case we're affected. I'd like to request a template, called {{Weather-related}}, be created to show that a user is on a Wikibreak as a result of an impending or ongoing natural disaster. Thanks! jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 05:26, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure this is the place for this request, but I've already tried the help desk and WP:VPT and been redirected to here, but anyway... I'm wondering if there is a centralized area on Wikipedia where editors who are having trouble with template coding can come and ask experienced coders for help. Those of us who work on articles related to music singles and albums often use three templates in those articles: {{Single chart}}, {{Album chart}} and {{Certification Table Entry}} (and its myriad of sub-templates). Because these three templates link to many different sources outside Wikipedia, they tend to be quite dynamic (because the outside websites frequently get revamped or restructured), regularly leading to a lot of broken links.

The problem is that most of the editors who work on these articles are good at creating content, but unable to modify the templates unless it's a basic fix. And the two editors who created the templates in the first place are no longer active on Wikipedia, so we have to ask for outside help. There are a couple of coders who have very kindly been helping us out as and when they can, but it would be nice if we didn't have to pester the same people over and over again, and just place our requests at a centralized help desk staffed by coders, and whoever has some time available can say, "I'll take a look at it". Thanks for your help. Richard3120 (talk) 14:11, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone create something along the lines of Template:Sockpuppeteer but instead link to long-term abuse? At SPI, long-term abuse cases generate the message "A long-term abuse case exists at Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Example." A template like this would be great for tagging user pages, as in many cases, there is nothing on them that directly indicates that a long-term abuse case exists. Template:Long-term abuse does not exist and would probably be an appropriate title. Home Lander (talk) 02:27, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Another idea, if this is acceptable, would be allowing {{Sockpuppeteer}} to have an extra parameter like |lta=, maybe... —PaleoNeonate – 03:13, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since P.R. dumping seems to be a recurring problem I would like to suggest a new tag something like the POV tag called PRD which will warn readers that the article reference may have been modified to cast positive or negative "public relations" spin. William J Bean (talk) 11:33, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We however have advert and spam warnings which are also similar. I would suggest posting this request at WT:UTM which is a talk page directly related to warning templates. Thanks, —PaleoNeonate – 11:58, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible to improve the settings for {{clear}} in such way that really always only a regular paragraph is created? Sometimes, when articles use this template in sections with images, the subsequent spacing is clearly larger than usual — cf. e. g. Germany#Biodiversity! And that's what I'm driving at… The same applies to <div style="clear: both;"></div> as such, of course. Hoping for your comments--Tuchiel (talk) 15:03, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The feature is indeed designed to be able to skip images or large boxes which get in the way of text. There may be alternatives though but they don't immediately come to mind, someone else may know. —PaleoNeonate – 01:31, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the aforementioned template, I would like to ask whether it is possible to improve it in such a way that portal links can be included in templates like Template:US Air Force navbox for instance, with the proper portal icon displayed instead of the general "no-name" one (as it is the case currently).--Tuchiel (talk) 18:25, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a chance to improve the column functions in a way that ugly hypertrophic spacings due to "conflicting" elements (like the image on the right here) do not occur anymore?--Tuchiel (talk) 18:41, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Could somebody remove the colon in the template standard phrase Wikispecies has information related to: …? This would be of benefit to a standardization, e. g. compared to Template:Commons, which does not use a colon here. Kind regards--Tuchiel (talk) 15:36, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Considering those, I'd like to point out the following issue: When I tried to use Commons category-inline and Wikispecies-inline in the same section (Eurasian wolf#External links), I would have had to put an extra blank line between them since otherwise they both would have been displayed in the very same line and not one below the other. Is there a way to generally fix that for future reference (for the cited section, I think by now it's fine the way it is now)?--Tuchiel (talk) 15:58, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
