Documentation
I think this page should be more informative like several other template pages. Compare to Template:Schoolblock, it has documentation. Apoyon (talk) 15:09, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'll add some documentation now. Neobenedict (talk) 12:09, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Why has the documentation been removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quinxorin (talk • contribs) 05:32, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Template-protected edit request on 18 April 2019
 | This edit request to Template:Huggle/warn-1 has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please replace with the current version of the sandbox (diff). This cleans up the source code as well as fixing the capitalization of "Help Desk" (its "Help desk"). The result is currently visible in the /testcases - the output of the two templates is identical. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 02:10, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
Done and then 
undone. Apart from the intended change of Desk to desk (OK), it used my username instead of Jimbo's as the sample (not OK by me). Cabayi (talk) 13:14, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Cabayi: is your objection to using your username, or to changing the username from Jimbo's to the last editors? If it is the former, can you reopen the edit request so that someone else sees this? Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 16:28, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
- DannyS712, over the years editors have gone to great lengths to avoid having their username used as the sample renderings of templates. I don't see that it's ever been a policy, nor am I aware of it ever being discussed, it's just the way it's been done. If pushed to offer a preference on how it's done I'd opt for:
- User:Example
- a piece of dead text like, [your name appears here automatically]
- User:Jimbo Wales
- a Huggle developer
- the answering editor (who actually uses Huggle)
- the answering editor (who doesn't use Huggle)
- ∞. my name
- Feel free to reactivate if you wish. I've never claimed infallibility, just a loathing of vanity. Cabayi (talk) 18:49, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 20 February 2020

Please change <span class="plainlinks">[{{{2}}} this edit]</span> to [[Special:Diff/{{{2}}}|this edit]] for mobile-friendly diff links. The documentation will have to be updated so the second parameter reads revision ID instead of revision link. (Unrelatedly: should the documentation also note the template should be substituted?) Thanks for considering my request! Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 16:18, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit template-protected}}template.- Rotideypoc41352, changing the templates used by Huggle, when there's been no discussion with the Huggle developers, there's no evidence it won't break the tool (and it looks pretty clear that it will break the tool as you're changing the 2nd paramteter from expecting an external link to expecting a diff ID), no preparatory work, no testcases, not even a question asked at Wikipedia:Huggle/Feedback.... No. Cabayi (talk) 16:41, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
