This template (like all templates) is within the scope of WikiProject Templates, a group dedicated to improving the maintenance of Wikipedia's templates. This particular template is especially important to the project because it is used in the maintenance of other templates.

This template was considered for merging with Template:merge on 10 November 2010. The result of the discussion was "do not merge".

demo parameter[edit]

This template passes |demo=yes to {{Tfm/dated}}, but that template does not use a parameter named like that. Am I missing something or is this code that is no longer in use? --Gonnym (talk) 15:05, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 25 August 2020[edit]

This edit request to Template:Tfm/dated has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please add the .mbox-tfd class to this template to make it easier for this template to be detected using code. (This is a templates for discussion nomination template, so it makes sense, but feel free to do tfm.) A a s i m 06:12, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Primefac (talk) 10:49, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I find this request to be perfectly clear.

Done * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 13:56, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sleep-addled brain looking at requests, for some odd reason I was looking at {{tfm}} itself. Sorry 'bout that. Primefac (talk) 14:53, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Better handling with merging a template with a module[edit]

The current version of the template does not allow for merging a template with a module and setting one of the display types as |type= is also used to set the merge target as a module. There are a few ways to fix this. One would be to add another parameter to set if the target is a module. Another would be to just use the full link name, including the namespace. I don't see a reason why writing "Test module" instead of "Module:Test module" would be better (at best, you need to remember not to copy the full name).

I've edited the sandbox with a version with the above change. Gonnym (talk) 12:18, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable, though the Twinkle folks will want to know about it. Primefac (talk) 12:24, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notified now. Gonnym (talk) 12:31, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
