Indent removed

[edit]

I've taken out the ":" from the beginning, to make this template match other similar templates (like {{1911}}). It also lets bullet points show up when used as part of a reference list. Kafziel 14:19, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Missing title

[edit]

I don't want to mess it up, but hoping someone else can fix an error apparently left over from the last vandal's attack, perhaps? Trappist the monk, Headbomb? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:19, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What vandal attack? It looks like the template is doing what it should to be doing. The missing error message is emitted when both of |title= and |wstitle= are empty or omitted:

Ah, right, sorry. I was in a hurry when I came across it and obviously it hadn't been used correctly in the article in which I encountered it (where it didn't even include a parameter name). I had a quick look at the history of the template and saw mention of vandalism, so thought that an error remained in the template. My mistake.
