Hi, I noticed that you've added "color:inherit" in the party colour templates in the tables in several Norwegian constituency articles recently. I've never come across this before, what does it do? Obi2canibe (talk) 11:30, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It just to help with the new dark mode feature. It's better for dark mode if color is also specified when background-color is specified. The ones where I'm adding color:inherit; is where it doesn't need to be any specific color (as there is no text in those table cells), so it inherts from whatever the normal color is set to. -- WOSlinker (talk) 11:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll try to remember to add it in articles I create in the future :) Obi2canibe (talk) 11:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What about Template:Party color cell? Excellenc1 (talk) 04:08, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That has been done. -- WOSlinker (talk) 04:34, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, since you took part in the review at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Mount Hudson/archive1 I was wondering if you had any thoughts on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Cerro Panizos/archive1, especially the disagreement between me and David Fuchs.

Hey, i've created RfC on Kuči (tribe) talk page, but the link that is currently on Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/History_and_geography is broken due to character Č.

How to fix this? People won't be able to join from this page, and i am afraid that maybe even invites to the RfC are broken due to that link. Setxkbmap (talk) 08:52, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the link with this edit. Hopefully the bot doesn't change it back. -- WOSlinker (talk) 08:56, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help. I wanted to edit it myself but there was a statement that it should not be edited. I thought maybe admins would know something more, or could not be overwritten Setxkbmap (talk) 08:58, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's mainly a risk that the Bot will change it back or mess it up later on. Will just have to wait and see. -- WOSlinker (talk) 08:59, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Setxkbmap: Looks as though the Bot has just gone and changed it back now. I think you'll need to contact the Bot owner about it. I've created a rediect as a workaround so that the link works. -- WOSlinker (talk) 09:04, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Can we somehow check whether bot invited people to discussion correctly? I've read somewhere that bot invites random people to join discussion. Setxkbmap (talk) 09:05, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the bots contributions on the user talk namespace, it doesn't appear to notify anyone for RFCs. So it must be some other bot for that. -- WOSlinker (talk) 09:08, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've been active on the ((Infobox road)) talk page and seem to know the template. Perhaps you can help me with this.

I've been clearing out all the missing <p> end tag lint errors in the article namespace and I'm left with 36 road articles I can't fix. They all use ((Infobox road)) or ((Infobox road list)) templates, and those templates, plus the templates and modules they call, don't appear to use <p> tags.

The problem appears to be with the ((Infobox road)) "marker_image" parameter. For example in U.S. Route 151, "marker_image" is set to ((infobox road/shieldmain/USA|state=WI|type=US|route=151)), and lintHint reports a missing <p> end tag. If I remove the value from "marker_image", lintHint reports no missing end tags. Yet if I put ((infobox road/shieldmain/USA|state=WI|type=US|route=151)) on its own in my sandbox, lintHint reports no missing end tags! I can't make sense of this. Can you help? —Bruce1ee^talk 13:23, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)  Fixed. I had a go at this one a while ago, but I was unable or unwilling to see it through. I worked on it again today, and I think I fixed it without breaking anything. I had to replace a bunch of p tags with div tags in a module subpage. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:39, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: Thanks for that. This has been bugging me for weeks. —Bruce1ee^talk 15:00, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
