Wrapperifying update

MSGJ, your update to turn it more closely into a wrapper for the new, sandbox functionality at {{Template parameter value/sandbox}} is appreciated. I do like the template culture of positional params, with aliased named params, so I'd like to keep that aspect of it. Thanks again; this update links it more tightly with the new module functionality, and that's a good thing. Mathglot (talk) 09:47, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I learned something from your updates. It looks like remaining params are just getting passed through from the template to the module, i.e. your much leaner version never mentions params 2 and 3. Is there a link you can point me to, so I can read up on how this works? Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 09:56, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your response to that, at Template talk:Template parameter value#Can it just detect if the template is there; thanks. Mathglot (talk) 11:20, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a bug somewhere in one of your updates, with respect to the |follow= param. If you look at the last example in the § Examples section, that used to work and return "yes", but now it returns empty. Namely, this one:

{{Draft:HasTemplate|Transgender history in Australia|Transgender sidebar|follow=1}} → yes

Can you fix that? Mathglot (talk) 11:16, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both the 'N=12' and 'follow=1' examples still fail; these were both broken in rev. 1208028565‎; they were both working before that. I'll start a test cases page, and seed it with the items in the doc examples for starters. Mathglot (talk) 00:07, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The N=12 case fails because the module doesn't have N as an alternative name for the amount of templates, but the template version presumably did before it got stripped down. It's definitely a reasonable name (better than what it is rn) and I've gone ahead and added it to the module, fixing that case.

The follow=1 case fails because the module checks for args[1] before args.page, and this template provides a value for |page=, meaning if 1 was also specified it would win over follow. Easiest way to fix this is probably to move the follow logic to in the module. Does this sound reasonable? Aidan9382 _(talk) 07:35, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the record: this was followed up and completed as proposed and everything has been working on both ends. Mathglot (talk) 16:43, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
