REVISIONUSER

Will the name and linked talk page change if someone else edits the page afterwards? --Apoc2400 (talk) 20:52, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{REVISIONUSER}} in this template won't work as you expect. The magic word always evaluates to the user who stored the revision you're actually looking at. E.g., while it will display my name once I post it here, as soon as anybody else replies here it will display their name: "{{REVISIONUSER}}" → "Zinnober9"
If you want to get the name of the person posting it to appear on the page permanently, you need to write it into the source of the page, and there are only three way to do that: Typing it manually, using three tildes, or substing a template (and through it either REVISIONUSER or tildes) onto the page.

Yeah. ~~Maybe I can do something about that.~~

Change implemented!

Template name

Resolved

I really think this template should primarily exist at {{Whisperback}}. "Wb" on its own means nothing; it is a shortened form of "Whisperback" which is the real word, so I think {{Wb}} should be a redirect. Also, by moving it back we would parallel the conventions of the {{Talkback}} template we're so eager to replace. Best to make things feel as similar as possible to ease the change, no?

Okay. The doc page will need to go with it. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 10:31, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Moved it, per your requests. Amalthea 10:40, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page header

I just made a talk page header for this by copying from the one that exists for {{Talkback}} (which is {{Usertalkback}}) – and it is (drum roll please) ... {{Userwhisperback}}!
Just FYI. I know I'll use it.

Template causes following header to be indented

See here. The indentation went away when I added a carriage return. It doesn't seem to have to do with the size of the image in the template (I already tried that and it didn't fix it. rʨanaɢ (talk) 14:39, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done It was the presence of the image, so the next heading was aligning with that; I have added a {{clear}} which sorts it by forcing the next item to start a fresh line. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:57, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disregard

– Posted on wrong page

I do not understand how we can show signifigance. If you do not allow time for the web page to develop. This was a premature deletion and you destroyed a helpful webpage — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.17.176.43 (talk) 17:11, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Simplified version

I prepared a simplified version of this template, which uses less parser functions. See testcases for details. The only thing that testcases don't show is the difference in substitution:

Code

Main

<!--

// Check for {{{1}}} parameter

-->{{#if:Example|<!--then:

// Image

--><span style="margin:0; padding-top:3px;">[[File:Nuvola apps edu languages.svg|18px|link=<!--
// Prefix the given page with "User talk:" if no namespace given
-->    {{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE:Example}}|{{ns:0}}|{{ns:3}}:}}<!--
-->    Example<!--
// Section link
-->    {{#if:Example topic|#Example topic}}|You have new messages]]<!--

// Text

-->Hello{{#if:|, {{{greet}}}|}}. <span style="font-weight:bold">You have {{#if:|{{{things}}}|new messages}}</span> {{#if:|about {{{about}}} }} at <!--
// Prefix the given page with "User talk:" if no namespace given
-->  [[{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE:Example}}|{{ns:0}}|{{ns:3}}:}}<!--
// Page link
-->  Example<!--
// Section link
-->  {{#if:Example topic|#Example topic}}<!--
// Link text
-->  |{{#if:|{{{linkname}}}|{{#if:<!--
// Evaluates to "NOT USERSPACE" if namespace is neither 0 nor 3
-->    {{#switch:{{NAMESPACE:Example}}<!--
-->      |{{ns:0}}|{{ns:3}}=<!--silent--><!--
-->      |NOT USERSPACE}}<!--
// Evaluates to "IS SUBPAGE" if the page is a subpage
-->    {{#ifeq:{{#titleparts:Example|1|2}}|<!--
-->      <!--empty-->|<!--silent-->|IS SUBPAGE}}<!--
// Display full page title if either NOT USERSPACE or IS SUBPAGE is true
-->    |{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACE:Example}}|{{ns:0}}|{{ns:3}}:}}<!--
-->    Example<!--
// Display the PAGENAME of {{{1}}} (i.e. the user name) otherwise
-->    |{{PAGENAME:Example}}'s talk page}}}}]].<!--
-->{{#if:|<span style="font-size: 88%;"> Message added {{{ts}}}.</span>}}</span><!--

// Display an error message if no parameter given

-->|<!--else:
-->{{error|ERROR: Please enter your username as a parameter when using the {{tl|Whisperback}} template.}}}}{{Z21}}<!-- Template:Whisperback -->

Sandbox

{{whisperback|1=Example|2=Example topic}}

The only noticeable side effect is that my version always greets (it uses page name if no |greet= parameter was specified). — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 18:20, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

INFORMATION FOR WIKIPEDIA I confirm that Tony Ward was a top class football referee, who officiated at the highest levels in England. He refereed at the highest League level, The FA Premier League in addition to many matches for The Football Association, including several at Wembley Stadium.

Substing creates gobbledygook

I tried substing this template and got this. I've self-reverted, but can this template be modified to subst to something I can deal with? Oiyarbepsy (talk) 06:18, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
