Notes to self

Remove this test edit from everypage.

The comparison between {{BASEPAGENAME}} and {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}/Metadata|info=pagename}} does not call them equal correctly all the time. Three examples of the problem are:
  1. Frequency vs frequency
  2. Arther's Seat vs Arther's Seat (apostrophe problem, possibly other marks too)
  3. Subsubpage name due to the hierarchy issues.

For specific examples see Arthur's Seat/Approval

The following changes to dabdef template allow for disambiguated term to live at the most common form of the word. In this case, if there is a metadata page, the R template will use the definition from the basename location rather directing the author to use a disambiguated term. 23:59, 23 September 2008 (CDT)

http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/tips/43.htm For catalogs.

  • Specific subpage categories are now placed on talk page so do not trail the extended subpage name for every entry when seen in the subpages categories. See {{Talk Always}}.
  • Extra/Optional subpages categories are on all subpages except for the default ones. These give lists of all optional subpages in a particular workgroup and thus require the subpagename so they can be distinguished for each article. See {{All Subpage Content}}.
  • {{Catalogs header}} is now only used for the header. The footer is not used for anything at present.
  • To-Do: Need to consider where the sub-subpages fit into this scheme, should probably do something similar.
  • All approved talk pages will need to have the following format for this scheme to work:

#REDIRECT [[Talk:Dog/Draft]] <noinclude>{{Subpages}}</noinclude>

Category:Need def

  • Need to figure out why basepagename does not work with some characters. Is this a problem for the normal function of the template? Need a way to figure out when basepagename and pagename in metadata template are different. Most likely after a move. Since the old name will still exist as a redirect this error catch will not detect such examples. Chris Day (talk) 19:05, 19 March 2008 (CDT)
  • What to do with subpages with out a main article. i.e. Charles, Prince of Wales. And why is this one getting the pagename warning instead of the no metadata/no article warning? Need to readjust these warning plate parameters and add a new template saying no associated article. Possibly have some of the parameters shown on the tempalte so a judgement call can be made as to whether to delete, move or create a new cluster. Possibly make less conspicuous on floating subpages in case that is desirable. Chris Day (talk) 19:47, 19 March 2008 (CDT)
  • Turns out that the capitalalization does matter if using subsubpages. The tennis subsubpages is an example. Any time a string such as Template:Article name or Talk:Article name is used it will crash the template. Can catch this by checking for if the subpage is one of the three that can support subsubpages yet gives a misparsed subsubpage. Will be in the unexpected category.

Keep these template for Template:Subpages2 the vertical version of subpages. I will probably develop this into a workgroup core articles template.

Hmm, that didn't work (whatever you just did).  :-) Very glad to see you back at work here, Chris! --Larry Sanger 22:53, 27 September 2008 (CDT)
