Re: UnCommons

I will tell you what happened. You edited a series of images uploaded by an LTA banned from the Japanese version who always edited uploading images without lolis license. You will have to prove to me that you are not that user. By chance it has edited the Japanese version, I will have to check if it has not suffered sanctions there.

Your account has been unlocked. I know it would not be appropriate to ask but could you give me an explanation if you would use those images that you edited or will they be in disuse? Rhubella Marie, the rat sockpreppie preppiedits 18:25, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Haha, I am from England. I have never visited Japan, and have no idea what the funny writing means! The only reason I edited those Japanese images was because I was going through the commons:Special:UncategorizedFiles on Commons, and just trying to add categories to them.

I personally don't know if I will ever use those images of Japanese railways - but to be honest, there are probably thousands of unused images on Commons. Those railway images look as though they were from the personal collection of a railway enthusiast. I accept they have no license - but I am confident they are not copyvio either. Best regards.

A few notes about templates...

Please do not change the percentage widths to ems. That is not mobile-friendly - you can set a max width if necessary. Also, do not remove the |{{PAGENAME}} from category tags, it's for sorting the templates so they don't all end up in the 'T' section. Please do not remove the {{nobr}} template either. Very rarely is it problematic but if you don't know what it does best to not remove it. XOXO ~Formerly Annoying Crap 08:06, 18 October 2021

PAGENAME requirement is LOOOOOONG ago depleted. Many, many versions ago, MediaWiki software automatically sets page sorting in categories (and elsewhere) by its BASEPAGENAME. So PAGENAME is obsolete. Irrespective of what namespace an article is created in, it will get listed not by its Namespace, but by its page name. Examples, MediaWiki:Aboutsite - sorted in A; File:WikiHow logo.png - sorted in W. Template:TOCright - sorted under T (because the BASEPAGENAME is TOCright.

As for fixed pitch widths, they work perfectly on the official mobile skin (which all Uncyc wikis have. Don't forget, most templates are NOT displayed on the mobile skin.

Finally, I know exactly what {{nobr}} is designed for. However, using that template across a span of words - especially within a template of variable width - can cause huge problems for accessibility.

The MediaWiki handbook strongly discourages variable widths (especially based on percentage widths). It recommends fixed-pitch widths whenever possible, especially within templates.

Happy to explain more, if it helps. Regards Hoof Hearted • talk2HH 01:10, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

The templates you have been editing do display on the mobile website, and I have made sure they are mobile friendly. I believe in backwards compatibility for older browsers also. ~Formerly Annoying Crap 09:56, 19 October 2021

With respect, that is an extremely brash and hostile reply! So you know exactly what devices I use? You know exactly which browsers I use? And you know the exact configuration I use for each of my different browsers on each of my devices?

Behaving like an autocrat or God king is never going to endear yourself to others, especially if you wish to build up the editor base here on Uncyc. :-(

And I noticed you failed to respond to my comments regarding the long obsolete global PAGENAME requirement! Kind regards! Hoof Hearted • talk2HH 15:01, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Uhh, yeah. Okay, well setting a fixed width that is wider than a mobile screen renders the template off of the page. So a variable width is preferred if you know how to control it. I have a lot of experience in that area and I don't need to know what device you're using. If you want to take the PAGENAME out, I think it's unnecessary. There is interlinking still to do and many other maintenance flags on my plate. I don't believe I'm acting like a god king or hostile at all here. It bothers me that you are taking such offense to a simple request. As a reminder, the max mobile width is 310px - 20px margin. ~Formerly Annoying Crap 04:08, 27 October 2021
