Template talk:R from ASCII-only

Purpose

edit
And what exactly is this template for? Promoting higher bandwidth usage? Halibutt 22:11, 6 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
I found it useful. I'm categorizing redirects for an eventual paper edition, and was able to use the template to put all ASCII redirects into Category:Unprintworthy redirects, since "See: Spelled exactly the same, minus the dots and squiggles" in an alphebatized print volume is a waste of space. That's just my hack of the system, tho': the real reson d'ee of this template is that categories & text appended to redirects are automatically deleted if they're not all on the same line as the redirect itself. The template allows an easy escape from this quirk of the system.--Joel 23:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Description

edit

I'm going to un-link the word diacritic. There's simply no need for the diacritic page to have thousands of "What Links Here" references to redirects that are not about diacritics (by definition). Anybody that's confused about the meaning of the word can easily look at the category page. Same for "See also".

I've finished converting all those miscategorized here to {{R from title without diacritics}}. Hopefully, the better explanations will help folks use the templates.

Deprecated

edit

Hi, using templates within redirects is deprecated, so the {{R from...}} templates shouldn't be used anymore, although categories in redirects are probably safe. See discussion. Wmahan. 05:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Template & /doc code needs fixing

edit

{{edit protected}} Hi- I think there are errors in the code, some of the categories on the /doc pg need to be in "includeonly" on the template page. The ones in "includeonly" on the /doc pg would only categorize the template, not its transclusions, right? --Funandtrvl (talk) 20:11, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Should be fixed now. EdokterTalk 20:43, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Update needed

Withdrawn. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 00:55, 1 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
To ensure that only mainspace redirects are sorted into Category:Unprintworthy redirects, the line in this Rcat that contains that category needs to be updated. Please modify that line as follows:

  • from this...
[[Category:Unprintworthy redirects]]
  • to this...
{{Main other|[[Category:Unprintworthy redirects]]}}

Thank you in advance! – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 13:25, 29 August 2013 (UTC)Reply


I shall leave this to administrator discretion...

{{Main other|[[Category:Redirects from titles with ASCII]]
[[Category:Unprintworthy redirects]]}}

Perhaps this should be a mainspace-only template for both categories? – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 01:44, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Reply




Proper usage

edit

I've missed something, haven't I? – 18:35, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Well, heck – I hate to make this more complicated, but I looked at the pages that link here by transclusion, and I don't see any ASCII code in any of those titles in the first 1000 pages. Am I missing something? – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 12:42, 31 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Page move

edit

To editor HJ Mitchell: – wonder if you could do me a favor and lower the move protection to include template editors or, if you feel this template should retain its full move protection, would you be so kind as to move this template as follows?

{{R from ASCII}}{{R from ASCII-only}}

This uncontroversial move is to a name that is more descriptive and coincides with a proposal to move the category in this discussion. I've already moved {{R to ASCII}}{{R to ASCII-only}}, and if you decide to move this page yourself, I shall be happy to make the followup /doc, /sandbox moves and fix any double redirects. – Paine  08:04, 8 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Paine Ellsworth: I've lowered the protection. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:14, 8 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
You? the Greatest! and the pink full-protection notice still existed on the move page, yet I was able to rename it anyway. Thank you very much, HJ Mitchell! – Paine  18:38, 8 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Append to the "|to=" parameter that they are ''not'' [[Typographic ligature|ligatures]] – use {{tl|R to ligature}} ''instead''. Wumbolo (talk) 15:50, 30 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Wumbolo:   Done. Had to rewrite the whole line a bit to be easy to parse.  — SMcCandlish ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ʌ<  06:43, 1 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
