Template talk:Namespace conflict

Category

I'm removing the category from this template. There is no compelling reason to include non-content, non-maintenance categories in articles; in the unlikely event that something needs to be done to these articles, the template's list of inclusions can be used. See also Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006 August 4#Category:Pages_containing_IPA, where a similar template was deleted, and Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006 August 20#Category:Article_titles_with_lowercase_initial_letters for a currently ongoing discussion of a similar template.

I have just removed the category per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 June 25. --S ^up? 19:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Namespace detection

If you were looking for functions for namespace detection then instead see {{main talk other}} and {{namespace detect}}.

This template is broken

Have a look at Image-Pngslimmer. The text

The correct title of this article is Image::Pngslimmer. The substitution or omission of a colon is due to technical restrictions.

used to appear at the top, but now it doesn't. This seems to be affecting all pages using this template. Alksentrs (talk) 21:26, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I fixed it by making this template a simple hatnote, which works well. I don't know what the problem was before. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 21:56, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

DISPLAYTITLE

(Not really about this template, but closely related.) In a recent edit, Remember the dot remarked in the summary, "get people used to using the DISPLAYTITLE magic word where possible". According to the documentation, DISPLAYTITLE can only be used to change capitalization and underscores. I tried adding it to an article anyway; it didn't seem to change the display title. Am I missing something? —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 22:20, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

DISPLAYTITLE can't be used to fix namespace conflicts. It can be used to make other tweaks like lowercase and underscores, but that's a separate issue from namespace conflicts, so ideally the no title-fixing code should not be mixed in with the namespace conflict notice. Does that make more sense now? —Remember the dot ^(talk) 01:16, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Ah, yes, I get it now. Thanks. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 17:37, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
