Following the example for Korean where there is a field lk for a literal meaning from Korean, a field such as lj would be useful and pertinent for literal meanings for the Japanese section. Waerloeg (talk) 08:26, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Add a "lang(x)_translit" field to compliment the lang(x)_content and lang(x) fields. Viewable via dropdown menu, like the languages already included in the template. Otherwise, add Kazakh and Kyrgyz fields to the template; I do not know why Tetum, a language spoken only on the island of Timor which has no significant Chinese community, is included in this infobox's fields, but not Kazakh or Kyrgyz which have their own autonomous areas in China. Yue🌙07:06, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This template is not just for China nowadays and really should be named something like Infobox transcription but that RM failed. I agree with adding Kazakh and Kyrgyz since they are (usually at least) not written in the Latin script. I'm not quite sure what exactly a translit field would do though. Usually edit requests are only for implementing edits in the sandbox rather than suggesting features but I won't close it quite yet since a few more qualified eyes may come here if it's open. --Trialpears (talk) 12:11, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure where exactly it is implemented, but the value of the bpmf parameter ends up incorrectly marked up as zh-Latn instead of zh-Bopo. – MwGamera (talk) 12:03, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.
Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.
ENGVAR support: all I need is for labels to say "Romanisation" instead of "Romanization" (et al.) when an |engvar=b parameter is supplied, but I couldn't quite figure out how to do it in the corresponding module code. Remsense诉08:07, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I tried to implement it, and then I realized that more work than just my sandboxed edit would need to be done and lost the will to do it. I don't remember why I reacted to that realization by self-rollbacking, though. At this point I no longer care and anyone who wants to make another attempt at it is welcome to. * Pppery *it has begun...01:27, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Issue in dark mode or inappropriate use of infobox
Looks like the infobox description should be clarified to describe if photos are permitted and if so, be altered to support both use cases (only applying the invert when SVG text is given)
Thanks in advance for your help working on how to fix this! I am not sure how?
The invert doesn't appear to always work as in Hong_Kong. You forgot to make the inversion apply to pic2 in addition to pic in Special:Diff/1227937682. I imagine introducing a separate parameter to InfoboxImage to explicitly allow inverting would be a safe way to handle it. – MwGamera (talk) 20:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not all SVGs are monochrome, so inversion won't fix them. Night mode is going to be a problem with any image with a transparent background (SVG or PNG), whether in an infobox or not.
It has long been common practice for the |pic= parameter of this template to contain an image of the object or person named if it can be depicted. Personally I think an image of characters is redundant. Kanguole21:51, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see that this change, intended to make images of characters work with night mode, broke other images in night mode. It should be reverted, or at least enabled only if some extra flag is set. Kanguole21:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I know SVGs are cached as a raster render for display on pages, but surely there must be a sensible way to have currentColor (or unset) fills and strokes in SVGs render as a light tone in dark mode. Remsense诉23:56, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I guess the proper fix is to add a |picclass= parameter that can be set to skin-invert for black-on-transparent images of characters. Until this is fixed, a workaround is to use |pic2= for ordinary images and |pic= for the character images. Kanguole14:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
10% have a png (I'd guess these are mostly transparent).
And I'd guess the remainder of the 2k uses of |pic= have no image.
Probably what should be done is not actually a picclass but instead the suggested workaround, or even to embed that workaround in the template-proper as |character_image= and |other_image= or some such. Izno (talk) 22:34, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
