Request

Can <noinclude>[[Category:Disambiguation and Redirection templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude> be added? —Mark Adler (markles) 01:28, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

sounds good. tried to do it, but it is non editable - why??? And why can a normal user not see this reason?????????????????? 1st vs 2nd class WP? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 16:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The template is currently protected. If it needs frequent editing, I would recommend to contact Ral315 as he was the one who protected it. It certainly does not seem to be a high-visibility template, by the way. Meanwhile, I added the line requested above.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 16:59, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please dab link

Please change [[Geographic coding|geographic code]] to [[geocode|geographic code]] to avoid unnecessary redirecting. — Johan the Ghost _seance 17:36, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

EditProtect request 3 June 2007

{{EditProtected}} The "==See also== " line in this template is displaying through into the TOC on
Wikipedia:Template_messages/Redirect_pages, and messing it (the TOC on the Wikihelp page) up.

Please replace the "see also" line with (just drag, copy and Drop!):
:<big>'''See Also'''</big>
This template seems to have a low distribution (What links here) and should probably not be protected at all.

Thanks // FrankB 22:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could you clarify this request, please? I.e., this template has had an H2 header since December 17, 2004. I don't see a TOC on Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages and I don't understand which wikihelp page you're referring to. By the way, the number of transclusions of this template is over 6000 (by my rough count), thus the protection. Cheers. --MZMcBride 17:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've disabled the editprotected request pending clarification. Cheers. --MZMcBride 01:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'So Sorry' 'bout the delay--I was busy on Meta yesterday. Hmmmm, I just saw a short list of pages using whatlinkshere... so the calling templates must be busy boys to spread the distribution that large! Sorry on that. Six kpages is certainly a reason to worry about it.

The TOC "manifestation" was apparently because I was in a section edit--you are correct-- the TOC is suppressed on the full page. Nonetheless, could be as confusing and disorienting "Momentarily" to another during a subsequent edit as it was to me during that one. Just adding one or two more "='s" adding to the indent level is anthor solution for this admittedly small issue. this was my fix in the other template, as I tried to describe above. (May as well, (eventually) since it "bit" one of us!)

If you look at Wikipedia%3ATemplate_messages%2FRedirect_pages (edit [[|talk]] links history) and see the summary here in preview this (version) edit, you can also see the "See Also" section title manifest inside the table cell for this template:R from UN/LOCODE template.

OTOH, Looks like my edit splitting the long table into smaller easier to edit sections so to make more "editable" chunks now also suppresses the "problematic TOC" in the section, since the "section count" now falls below my preferences setting. Sigh. Sorry to bother you seeing THAT!

If it were me, I'd "bullet proof it" eventually, but seeing as how it's on so many pages, do suggest waiting until making an edit for another reason. (Ah, the wonders of distributed software! <g>) Have a good week! // FrankB 15:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{EditProtected}} Please change

==See also==

to

;See also

for the same reason FrankB said! At the page Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages the #See also link in the ToC makes it scroll down to this template. (also, as per code at Template:R from warning template). -- Quiddity (talk) 02:55, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We should never ever use a DL in place of an H2. They aren't interchangeable. I added a conditional so that the h2 is only used in namespace 0, and the title is simply bolded otherwise. — Carl (CBM · talk) 21:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization requests

{{editprotected}} Hi, I'd like to request some changes to the categorization of this template in keeping with other redirect templates. Firstly, if [[Category:Redirect templates|UN/LOCODE]] could be changed to:

[[Category:Templates for redirects from technical shortcuts|UN/LOCODE]]
[[Category:Templates for redirects relating to geography|UN/LOCODE]]
[[Category:All redirect templates]]

that would be great! Secondly, the listing of the auto-category should be changed to:

{{{Category|[[Category:Redirects from UN/LOCODE]]}}

That way, when the template is being presented as an example (as with {{Tlrow}}), it won't sort the example page into the category. (I'm not sure how that works, I just know it does). Thanks! $\sim$ Lenoxus " * " 18:46, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done with a few other minor bits like fixing the typo from what I copy-pasted and sorting it into its applied category with the sort key "*". {{Nihiltres|talk|log}} 13:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
