Description of suggested change: having example (as well as default) 'y' to 'Enter any text here to replace the word "article" with "section" in the template.' is pretty confusing imo Michael H (talk) 15:42, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wording changed – editor Michael H, is that better? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 18:02, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change: Per the discussion at WP:IANB#MakeMobileCollapsible gadget, I'd like to propose that we conditionally remove the mw-collapsible [show/hide] links when the page is loaded in Minerva

Diff: Special:Diff/1188836674

/** 
 * Don't show the [show/hide] toggle in the mobile skin due to
 * the deployment of the MakeMobileCollapsibleGadget -- Sohom 
**/
body.skin-minerva .multiple-issues-text > .mw-collapsible-toggle {
	display: none;
}

I think should be a pretty uncontroversial hack to prevent this issues from showing up :) Lmk if there are any issues (ping @Izno and @Alexis_Jazz) Sohom (talk) 00:39, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. OK, since this has been pending for 10 days with no comments, I think it's fair to implement this. I've modified it slightly to not use body. Let me know if any issues arise. SWinxy (talk) 20:20, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SWinxy: It doesn't hide the link without body. Would you add that in per the original request? SilverLocust 💬 06:28, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SilverLocust Wait. Doesn't Minerva hide all message boxes? Why are we hiding it when the whole thing is going to be hidden anyway? I removed body because (afaik) the browser's parser will select the body element anyway. Is there a place where this can be seen to work vs not? cc Sohom Datta. SWinxy (talk) 01:08, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SWinxy: There is a great deal that is confusing me about this. I was going to say that, of course, message boxes certainly show in Minerva — but actually they show on Minerva if you have en.m.wikipedia in the URL rather than en.wikipedia (i.e., it hides on the desktop site when you explicitly select MinervaNeue, but not on mobile).

But I think I agree that the presence or absence of body is not what is causing the issue. (I just thought that because when I tried putting it in the /sandbox and then previewing it on mobile, the show/hide button was no longer there in the edit preview. But that seems to have just been odd behavior in the preview.)

I shall keep trying to figure out what is going on. SilverLocust 💬 03:02, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mirabile dictu, that really did fix the issue. After some further testing in the sandbox and on testwiki (where, I believe, there is less caching), I became convinced that adding body would fix the issue, and just made the edit (since it would either fix it or make no difference). SilverLocust 💬 04:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

so uh, nothing needs to change? SWinxy (talk) 04:46, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. (Between the time I asked you to add body and now, I became a template editor.) Also, I've found a note in mw:Extension:TemplateStyles#Caveats that explains why this was necessary: "use a selector such as body.skin-vector .myClass; specification of the body element is required and must be followed by a descendant combinator (i.e. the space)."

These tags are not accurate.

1) There is nothing libelous in my entry (I am Jack Nusan Porter) 2) It does not "read like a resume" , whatever that means. 3) I am an expert scholar at Harvard, not a self promoter. Some books that I list are indeed published through my press The Spencer Press (which also publishes other authors besides myself) but are not puff pieces but scholarly, historical or sociological analyses.

I am a world-class social scientist.

And I should not be tagged for deletion. Its a good entry and has good material added to it, mostly about my family but also some added books that have been published recently, all of them scientific, scholarly and based on fact.

Sincerely,

Jack Nusan Porter, Ph.D. Research Associate, The Davis Center, Harvard University
