Would you care to explain the rationale behind the changes you are proposing? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:13, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Oh how many of our templates are fully protected!

Makes maintaining them a pain in the butt. Please remove FP as it's grossly inappropriate. ResMar 03:23, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Note to self, add nomobile, make section highlighting manual to unbreak mobile view. ResMar 03:26, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Done. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 03:46, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Link-in-link error in sandbox

I know it's just a sandbox, but the current handling of |4= is causing this bogus expansion in the /doc page:

It's a clusterfuck, I am going to have to do some heavy lifting to fix it. jp×g🗯️ 08:19, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Don't use MediaWiki classes

User scripts emit errors when run on a page that transcludes this template because it uses mw-headline, a class used by MediaWiki. This is an unwise practice not only because it fails scripts that make certain assumptions about the structure of the page but because skins may update their CSS any time and make the element with the class hideous-looking.
