At the moment, Template:N/A seems to interact poorly with table cells that specify their own data-sort-value, as the template sets data-sort-value="". This is a problem on List of most commonly challenged books in the United States, where the extensive use of the template means that the unlisted books sort to the top, rather than the bottom. Is the template being misused on that page, or should the user be able to define the sort value in the template? EnronEvolvedMy Talk Page12:26, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily misused, just not used ideally. {{n/a}} has a |sort= parameter, which I suspect could be set to something like |sort=101 to get it to sort under everything else. Primefac (talk) 22:07, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately that entire template family uses the same documentation, and if any of the templates don't have that parameter it might mean that we give bad advice. Honestly I'm not overly thrilled with said /doc (I think it's too complex and wordy) so I might see about editing it and possibly adding some #switch statements that will trigger to show parameters for the templates that use them...

{{Special:Prefixindex/Portal:Science/}}? But no, modules do not have access to the information necessary to do what you want (namely, generating the list of pages to begin with). Izno (talk) 18:10, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The timestamp of this is after you posted here. Regarding the test, this broke the template in everyway, so if you did test, please request other editors to implement your changes. Gonnym (talk) 18:17, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking in reusing {{Contains special characters|emoticon}} based on Dingbat and Non-binary flag, but I'm not sure if that is allowed. But thinking about that template, it could be used for other soft redirects, such as those including Chinese or Japanese alphabet characters, and among other unicodes.
I don't really know or have any sort of opinion here, but please keep pings visible, or indicate the group being pinged – it wasn't clear where it was coming from before checking the page history. Tollens (talk) 03:25, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Started a discussion yesterday regarding Template:Morrissey singles and whether it should be separate. Unlikely to get much attention on a template talk page on its own so I figured I should just reach out for any responses I can get rather than letting it be between two people who probably won't come to a consensus on our own.

You've already started a discussion, but for future situations, if you feel like a page is hardly watched by editors, sending the template to WP:TFD with a "split" or "merge" request is also valid (that page isn't only for deletions). Gonnym (talk) 10:52, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In looking for Template:Linkedin (for external links), I first came upon Template:LinkedIn (a navbox). So long as you don't need to squint to tell the difference between a capital and lowercase I, I think you should see the dilemma immediately. I'm not sure how to disambiguate either of these, or which should be (if not both), but I do think something definitely needs changed here. Suggestions are welcome. Keep in mind both Template:LinkedIn URL and Template:LinkedIn page also exist, so those titles are not options. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 11:49, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
