Template talk:Sanction enforcement request footer

Template-protected edit request on 23 April 2024

Please remove all of the "contents" field on the documentation template call so that the documentation subpage can be created easily. Awesome Aasim 23:54, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Sandbox missing /p tag error

When the lorem ipsum content is trimmed in the sandbox, it causes a missing </p> error. I fixed it, but the error was reinstated. Please find a way to avoid this error. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:30, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

To editor Jonesey95: when the |trim=yes parameter and arg are removed from the {{Word count}} template, the lint error is fixed. Perhaps there is an issue in the Word count module? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 14:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Also, the module is safe-substituted in the {{Word count}} template, so when subst. in the sandbox, the error is removed even when one begins with |trim=yes. One thing I find weird is that the /doc for the "Word count" template uses the unsubst. template with one case of |trim=yes, but does not show the same error as this sandbox shows under the same conditions. ???

Maybe editors Martin and Awesome Aasim can shed some light on what might be an issue with the Word count module? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 14:57, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I understand why it happened. The word count template trims at a word boundary, and in the {{lorem ipsum}} template, each paragraph starts with <p>. Trimming in the middle of a paragraph leaves that open p tag unclosed. Trimming in the middle of someone's request could have the same effect, so trimming seemed undesirable. I fixed it here, but my edit was reverted, restoring the error. Rather than edit war, I came here to discuss possible resolutions. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:22, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Gnarly little challenge, eh? I went ahead and self-reverted, because subst. Word count lost the trim, and I want the problem to be easily found. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 19:14, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I have documented the potential for errors caused by |trim=yes over at {{word count}}. I don't think there is an error-free way to cut off wikitext at a numerically chosen point. Maybe this discussion could be continued over at that template's talk page. In the meantime, now that the risk is documented there, I have once again removed the error condition from the sandbox. That error should, of course, not be put into the live template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:38, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Don't think AA meant to introduce all that to the live template. I think he was just experimenting. I saw your addition to the Wc /doc – definitely a needed bit of info. If there's a way to add a </p> to the module's trim, only a Lua expert would know. Above my paygrade for sure. Thank you for your diligence in all this!
