Template talk:Now commons dated

Initals

What does Ncd stand for? Thanks, Drum guy (talk) 15:38, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can guess the now and commons, but it'd be good to put the full name in the documentation to help people remember the name, or what the template means when they see it in a page. Many thanks, Drum guy (talk) 23:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now Commons Dated. Because it adds the timestamp to {{nowcommons}}. Similar naming system for {{nsd}} (No Source Dated), {{nld}} (No License Dated), among others. Rocket000 (talk) 08:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's great, thanks :)

If an admin feels like adding the documentation: changing Template:Ncd to:

scroll|<includeonly>{{subst:</includeonly><includeonly>empty template|<div style="text-align:center; font-size: large; color: red">'''You forgot to subst this template.  Replace {{ncd}} with {{subst:ncd}}'''</div>}}</includeonly>{{NowCommons|month={{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTMONTHNAME}}|day={{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTDAY}}|year={{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTYEAR}}|1={{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>#ifeq:{{{1|a}}}|{{{1|b}}}|{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>#ifexist: :Media:{{{1}}}|Image:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}}}|{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>FULLPAGENAME}}}}|2={{{2|no}}}}}<noinclude>


{{Documentation}}
<!-- PLEASE ADD THIS TEMPLATE'S CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS TO THE /doc SUBPAGE, THANKS -->
</noinclude>

and creating Template:Ncd/doc as:

scroll|{{Documentation subpage}}


<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->
=== Usage ===
{{tl|Ncd}} stands for '''n'''ow '''c'''ommons '''d'''ated. It tags media that are now available on [[Wikimedia Commons]].

<includeonly><!-- CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS HERE, THANKS -->
[[Category:Deletion templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
[[Category:Transwiki templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
[[Category:Image namespace templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]

[[de:Vorlage:NowCommons]]
[[mk:Шаблон:Срб]]
[[pt:Predefinição:NowCommons]]
</includeonly>

that would be cool. Thanks, Drum guy (talk) 17:04, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Code Update

Could a templatey administrator change this

<includeonly>{{subst:</includeonly><includeonly>void|{{error:not substituted|ncd}}}}</includeonly>{{NowCommons|1={{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>#ifeq:{{{1|a}}}|{{{1|b}}}|{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>#ifexist: :Media:{{{1}}}|File:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}}}|{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>FULLPAGENAME}}}}|2={{{2|no}}}|date={{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>#time:Y-m-d}} }}<noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude>

to this

<includeonly>{{{{{|safesubst:}}}substchecktop|Ncd|subst={{{subst|}}}}}</includeonly>{{NowCommons|1={{{{{|safesubst:}}}#ifeq:{{{1|a}}}|{{{1|b}}}|{{{{{|safesubst:}}}#ifexist: :Media:{{{1}}}|File:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}}}|{{{{{|safesubst:}}}FULLPAGENAME}}}}|2={{{2|no}}}|date={{{{{|safesubst:}}}#time:Y-m-d}} }}<includeonly>{{{{{|safesubst:}}}substcheckbottom|subst={{{subst|}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude>

at Template:Ncd? Thanks. Set Sail For The Seven Seas 304° 16' 0" NET 20:17, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if this is ok now....There was a problem when I tried to use this code. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 15:18, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Add reviewer

Please change to

<includeonly>{{{{{|safesubst:}}}substchecktop|Now commons dated|subst={{{subst|}}}}}</includeonly>{{NowCommons|1={{{{{|safesubst:}}}#ifeq:{{{1|a}}}|{{{1|b}}}|{{{{{|safesubst:}}}#ifexist: :Media:{{{1}}}|File:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}}}|{{{{{|safesubst:}}}FULLPAGENAME}}}}|2={{{2|no}}}|date={{{{{|safesubst:}}}#time:Y-m-d}}{{{{{|safesubst:}}}#if:{{{reviewer|}}}|{{<includeonly>safesubst:</includeonly>!}}reviewer={{{reviewer}}}}} }}<includeonly>{{{{{|safesubst:}}}substcheckbottom|subst={{{subst|}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>
{{Documentation}}
</noinclude>

so that optionally the reviewer=-parameter can be set by non-admin nowcommons movers without the need of a seperate edit to review it. Krinkle (talk) 20:15, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Subst

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Use {{subst:ncd}} or {{subst:ncd|File:Filename.png}}.

Is this subst really necessary? It just makes usage more complex for most people. Also, links and info in the template can change.

See: Wikipedia:Substitution. Here is the template {{Now commons dated}} in action without substitution:

{{Now commons dated}}

Can someone please remove the requirement that this template be substituted. I do not know how to fix the problem, so I placed {{editprotected}} in this talk section.

{{Now commons}} may be a better template to use. Is there any reason why 2 templates are needed?

Also, see this concerning substitution:

I am trying to simplify moving files to the Commons. See:

I believe this template needs to be substituted in order for the date to become attached as a parameter to the template. If it were transcluded, the date would constantly be changing to the current date. In effect this template is just a wrapper for {{now commons}}. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:30, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. --Timeshifter (talk) 22:27, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This template is unnecessary and problematic

I think this template is unnecessary. A date serves little purpose. The template name is hard to remember, and substitution just makes it a non-starter for most editors.

{{now commons}} is simple. It is what most people use. See also: Template talk:Not moved to Commons. --Timeshifter (talk) 22:19, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merged to Template:Now Commons

I've merged this template to Template:Now Commons per Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 March 19#Unnecessary file wrappers. Please start any future discussions at Template talk:Now Commons. — JJMC89 (T·C) 05:45, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
