Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive subject or headline for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

Special characters in portlets links?

Maybe I'm just missing something, but when I try to create a link to say "Special:Contributions/$PAGENAME$" and then click on it, it gets URL encoded and doesn't work as it will turn the / into a "Special:Contributions/User%253ARaladic" Is there any way to work around that? Raladic (talk) 17:40, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Raladic Looks like the result of "$PAGENAME$" was being URL encoded twice. I've updated the script so it is not URL encoded when used as part of a page title. Hope that helps! – BrandonXLF (talk) 08:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, thanks :) Raladic (talk) 16:30, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Module:Sandbox/BrandonXLF/Module:Map params/testcases

Jonesey95 edited Module:Sandbox/BrandonXLF/Module:Map params/testcases, changing

out = out .. "<p><div>'''Live'''</div>" .. (res ~= '' and res or "''No output''") .. '</p>\n'

to

out = out .. "<div>'''Live'''</div>" .. (res ~= '' and res or "''No output''") .. '\n'

Then you changed it to

out = out .. "<p>'''Live'''<br>" .. (res ~= '' and res or "''No output''") .. '</p>\n'

but unfortunately, from ExpandTemplates, the output of this line is

<p>'''Live'''<br>

which has a missing end tag for , and I don't speak module markup, so I can't fix it. —Anomalocaris (talk) 19:46, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the missing /p tag for the basic example, but the "Whitespace separator" example is still broken, because it has ... tags wrapping block content with the p and /p tags at different indent levels. ... tags can't be used in this way. This is probably why I removed the p tags in the first place; using div tags instead of p tags should resolve this problem. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:48, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
