Template:makelist - seriesHey. If your userpage is correct, you are highly experienced with templates. Tell me what you think of Template:makelist and some of its sister templates, mentioned on its page. I'd appreciate a second take on this. Thanks for your time. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 03:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Take a look at the source. Its not appearing. Please, your expertise would be great. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 13:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
I believe an item does not render when there is no article/redirect that matches the item. For example, {{Makelist|1|China|India|Chinaa|Indiaa}} renders
#ifexist means whether or not an article exists. If you want to determine whether or not a variable to the template exists, use something like #if {{{3|}}}. I did not change the template myself because I thought #ifexist could be what you really intend? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 08:45, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I wonder if it is possible, to make things easier, if we could make it an optional parameter to have all list items linked? -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 06:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Hopefully otehrs will be able to also enjoy what we've done. It will sure make making large lists easier! -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 03:57, 26 July 2007 (UTC) Recent awkward editsUser:SteveRwanda has made a mess of East African shilling and Turkish lira. I've asked him to stop but I'm at a loss as to how to fix the messes. He's moved East African shilling and Turkish lira to East African shilling (old) and Turkish lira (old) and then overwriten the resulting redirects to create disambigs, thereby making direct reversion impossible. I've explained this to him but I don't know how to set things right. Can you help when you have time?
Yuan Shang articleRegarding the diacritic marks concerning you in the above article, I went back through the article creator's contributions list to look for similar cases. These aren't really Three Kingdoms-related in nature so I thought I'd add them here for you as opposed to the WP3K group: Saitō Dōsan, Hōjō Ujikuni, Hōjō Ujinori, Hōjō Tsunashige, Ōtomo Sōrin, Daidōji clan, Ōishi Sadahisa, Mōri Toyomoto, Ichijō Tadamasa, Takano Jōō, Hōjō Tokiyori, Hōjō Sadatoki. I'm not sure how many of these need to be changed, but at least they're found if you decide to do so. I'm also going to talk to the editor about using these in further articles. Cheers.

AWB Interwiki Mis-sortingHi, I've changed AWB so that it will now load its InterWiki links from Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/IW There are probably quite a few things that are out of date on it, and it would be appreciated if you have the time, if you could update the lists Thanks, Reedy Boy 18:23, 5 August 2007 (UTC) Template:Historical currencies of...Again, I commend you for consolidating nav box templates. I just have one question about templates like {{Historical currencies of Hungary}}. Is there no way to use wiki mark up for table inside navbox generic? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 05:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

SuggestionSince you appear to be the authority on currency info-boxes, I thougth this suggestion would be best made to you: COuld the denomination normally dispensed by ATM's be another feature? Tarcus 08:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
ATM's dispense sounds like the best name for it. On the matter of currencies to use, my knowledge is fairly limited. I know in Australia, they give out $20 and $50 notes, in the UK apparently 10 and 20 pound notes. Hopefully some others will be able to fill in the gaps, I guess with the final aim of having every country which does have ATM's having the feature in there info boxes. Hopefully it can be organised. Tarcus 10:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC) What happened? The ATM's dispenesed has been removed. Tarcus 06:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the confirmation. I suppose there's nothing that can be done unless something like a bank website says "Our ATM's dispense..." Worth a try anyway. Tarcus 08:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC) Navbox RevolutionHi Chochopk, I just thought that I'd let you know that I fully implemented your proposed Navbox Revolution over the last two weeks. The templates {{Navigation}}, {{Navigation with image}}, {{Dynamic navigation box}}, {{Dynamic navigation box with image}}, {{Navigation box with image}}, {{NavigationBox}}, {{Navigation bar}}, {{SuccessorSeries}}, and {{Navigation with columns}} were all converted to {{Navbox}}, which is itself closely related to {{Navbox generic}}. All 5000 templates that used those now deprecated templates were individually converted to use the new form. The {{Navbox generic}} template will be also merged into {{Navbox}} soon via a redirect or pass-through (they use the same code, but {{Navbox}} has a few extra options and standard styles/colors). Thanks for your good ideas and I hope you like the new standard template. --CapitalR 14:34, 22 August 2007 (UTC) Template:Infobox Airliner accident / Template:Infobox Mid-air accidentI’ve started a discussion at Template talk:Infobox Airliner accident about merging these templates. I’d like you to take a look at the discussion and see if you can help out a bit. I’m not too sure how to approach editing an infobox and I’ll probably screw-up big time if I tried it by myself. I understand if you’re busy, but there’s no rush in making the changes. – Zntrip 20:26, 22 August 2007 (UTC) Writing numismatic articlesThe Standard Catalog of World Coins and Standard Catalog of World Paper Money actually uses capitalisation for the denominations. I believe that every numismatic article should follow the suit. The article Banknotes of the African Banking Corporation Limited (Rhodesia) uses this style. - (Numismaticman 11:03, 5 September 2007 (UTC)) News articles may not use capitalisation, but the Standard Catalog of World Coins and the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money ALWAYS DO. Here's an example of an article derived from the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money, but the arrangement is classified in order of the signatories; Banknotes of Hyderabad. - (Numismaticman 07:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)) Template:Exchange RateYou have reason, Google's converter doesn't work with most of the currencies at en:Least valued currency unit, but the same problem have Yahoo! Finance. Ppalli 06:21, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Currency of the Solomon IslandsPrior to 1976, the Solomon Islands was a British protectorate under the name 'British Solomon Islands Protectorate'. There was no such currency as the Solomon Islands Pound, but there was a currency called the British Solomon Islands Protectorate pound, as the banknotes of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate are inscribed 'Government of the British Solomon Islands'. The nationality tag for currencies must be expressed correctly. The same thing goes for the Bruneian dollar and the Singaporean dollar. - (Numismaticman 06:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC))
Incorrect labelling in the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money
Where's the evidence for this? What has writing an article of a country's numismatic article under the correct name of a country got to do with capitalising currency units? I don't see any connection at all, to be quite frank. - (Numismaticman 07:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC))
It seems strange that the Standard Catalog of World Coins catalogues have moved to placing country articles in alphabetical order, yet the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money catalogues have not even been sorted out. The presentation in them is almost as messy as that in the 'Unusual World Coins' catalogue. There's no contradiction on my part. Here's the article Banknotes of Demarary and Essequibo, which is quite wrongly listed under 'British Guiana' in the SCWPM. - (Numismaticman 08:09, 12 September 2007 (UTC)) Template:User iso15924Hi. I've noticed that you do a lot of work with complex templates (e.g. Template:Random portal component) and was wondering if you could you take a look at Template:User iso15924? The template is used on userpages in the following way: Per Wikipedia:User categories for discussion/Archive/September 2007#Category:User Latn (it may also be here), the template should no longer categorise users who use the "Latn" alphabet code. The template is already coded so that it will not categorise users who specify '0' as the second parameter via the following code:
I tried (in my personal sandbox) to do something similar with the first parameter, but was unsuccesful. My modifications either had no effect, prevented categorisation for 'Latn' but activated categorisation for 0 values for the second parameter, or removed categorisation altogether. What I wanted was for the template to categorise in all cases except when parameter2 is 0 or parameter1 is 'Latn'. What is the correct way to make categorisation conditional on the absence of 'Latn'. Any assistance would be appreciated. – Black Falcon (Talk) 18:20, 12 September 2007 (UTC) Catagorisation of British Empire and Commonwealth numismatic articlesWhat is wrong with catagorising them by geographical region? It is the way that banknotes and coins are catagorised by some people in the numismatic trade. I do classify them in this way; Australia, British Africa, British America, British Asia and Far East, British Europe, British Pacific Islands,and India. - (Numismaticman 06:03, 13 September 2007 (UTC)) Indian rupeeThe Indian rupee article received heavy editing today by new/unregistered users, which I noticed at WikiRage.com. The article may benefit from a good review. According to Wikipedia Page History Statistics, you are one of the top contributors to that page. If you have the time, would you please read over the article and make any necessary changes. Thanks. -- Jreferee (Talk) 07:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC) TemplateChochopk can you please review this template if you have time thankyou Template:New Zealand currency and coinage Enlil Ninlil 05:42, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Blocked userNow that User:Numismaticman has been blocked (many thanks for dealing with him) should we go through his creations and see if they ought to be removed? I'm particularly thinking about those which are just copied straight from a catalogue (like Banknotes of the Kingdom of Fiji) which could fall foul of copyright.
Template:Coin image box 1 doubleHi I translated the tmpl. for the Italian wiki, and I saw that the margin Parameter is not optional: if you dont use it (at least in my Mac using Safari) some thing wrong happens. bye --Carlo Morino aka zi' Carlo 17:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC) Unspecified source for Image:50Som2002.jpg

OsamaK (talk) 11:26, 23 November 2007 (UTC) Taiwanese currenciesI know this was discussed a couple of years ago but, unfortunately, the discussion isn't on either of the current articles. In a nut shell, the names we're using have no connection to the actual currencies. Both were called the yuan. On New Taiwan dollar, the Chinese name is given as 新臺幣, 新台幣 or 臺幣. None of these characters appears on the coins and banknotes, where it's clearly called 圓. I'm sure you're aware of this but it really needs fixing. The best solution would be a single article called Taiwanese yuan, with the name New Taiwan dollar prominant so as to ensure recognition. It'll probably ruffle feathers so I thought I'd sound you out before starting work.
Chinese renminbiAs I'm sure you're aware, the Chinese renminbi / renminbi debate rumbles on. It could really benefit from your insight. Some of the comments beggar belief and I could frankly do with some assistance if you can spare the time. Once we've got that article sorted, we can return to the Taiwanese question.
Postal Orders of Alderney![]() A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Postal Orders of Alderney, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the Pre-Meiji coinage in JapanI'm contacting you because of your record of contributionsin the edit history of Japanese yen. An exchange of views at Talk:Japanese yen/Archives/2012#Etymology is developing. Attention is focused on two sentences only:
As I understand it, other editors are incredulous, suggesting that this data is likely to be spurious because confirmation is not readily found in conventional numismatic reference books which concern themselves with coins in general circulation during the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate in Japan.
I just wondered whether you might have a helpful contributions to make. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 15:10, 31 December 2007 (UTC) |
