{{editprotected}}

Could a templatey administrator change this

<includeonly>{{subst:</includeonly><includeonly>void|<strong class="error">You forgot to subst this template. Replace {{orfud}} with {{subst:orfud}}</strong>}}{</includeonly><noinclude>{</noinclude>{<noinclude>[[Template:</noinclude>di-orphaned fair use<noinclude>|di-orphaned fair use]]</noinclude>|date={{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTDAY}} {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTYEAR}}}}<noinclude>{{pp-template}}[[Category:File deletion template shortcuts]]</noinclude>

to this

<includeonly>{{{{{|safesubst:}}}substchecktop|Orfud|subst={{{subst|}}}}}</includeonly>{{<noinclude>tlp|</noinclude>di-orphaned fair use|<noinclude>2=</noinclude>date={{{{{|safesubst:}}}Date}}}}<includeonly>{{{{{|safesubst:}}}substcheckbottom|subst={{{subst|}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude>

Not done at present. Has this been tested in a sandbox? Also, what does the change do? If it merely simplifies the code, my inclination is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." — Tivedshambo (t/c) 21:51, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A copy of this code can now be found in the sandbox and its effects can be seen at testcases. The template updates include the following changes:

Updating the substitution check code to a more efficient version.
Updating the date parameters to use existing date templates rather than variables, simplifying the code.
Optimising the demo display on the Template:Orfud page to use Template:Tlp, simplifying the code.
Removing the redundant page protection template, which is already included as part of the documentation.
Moving categories to the documentation subpage.

re "Moving categories to the documentation subpage", you have forgotten to create the /doc page with the categories. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:12, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The documentation page has now been created and can be found here. Thanks. Set Sail For The Seven Seas 204° 9' 15" NET 13:36, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 26 March 2016

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

Please redirect to {{Or-fu-re}} as per this TfD. Note that this will functionally change nothing for this template; the only difference between the two templates is that {{Or-fu-re}} accepts an optional replacement parameter. You will also need to template-protect {{Or-fu-re}} (and preferably {{Orfur}}, the other template considered at the TfD) since this is a high-visibility template. If I'm not mistaken, it's substituted by some fully-automated bots, which was the reason for the original template-protect on this template. ~ Rob^Talk 13:59, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Opabinia regalis: Perhaps you could take a look at this one. ~ Rob^Talk 16:07, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@JamesBWatson: Thanks. Would you mind also template-protecting the target as requested? This is highly-visible due to the frequent substitution by automated (or semi-automated) editing programs, and vandalism to {{Or-fu-re}} would likely be substituted onto a large number of pages before detected, with no easy way to fix them. ~ Rob^Talk 16:24, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@BU Rob13: Sorry, I forgot to do that. Done now, though. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:27, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
